This is an I heart podcast. Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. Let's just put it bluntly, from fat soldiers, fat generals, you are no longer wanted in the United States military. There is no room for overweight, out of shape fighters anymore. They will not be tolerated. Here is the Secretary of War Pete Hagg said, frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations or really any formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country in the world. It's a bad look. It is bad. And it's not who we are. So whether you're an airborne Ranger or a chairborne Ranger, a brand new private or a four star general, you need to meet the height and weight standards and pass your PT test. All right, so today, Secretary of War Pete Hagseth, along with President Trump, gave an address to hundreds of his top commanders, senior officers in the military, and he spelled out his vision to restore the United States military to once again be the greatest fighting force this world has ever seen. And there was no room for woke warriors anymore. No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division distraction or gender delusions. No more debris. As I've said before and will say again, we are done with that. I told you, no more woke warriors. It's now the warrior ethos. How do we turn you into a lean, mean fighting machine? Political correctness loses battles and even worse, it will cost you lives. So when you are too politically correct, you put the men and women of the United States military in danger. Our commander in chief spelled that out as well. Today we're bringing back a focus on fitness, ability, character and strength. And that's because the purposes of American military is not to protect anyone's feelings. It's to protect our republic. And it's the Republic that we dearly love. It's to protect our country will not be politically correct when it comes to defending American freedom. And thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Secretary of Warheadseth. Now, this is going to be an oxymoron that I tell you because I tell you every night about the violent left and how all they want to do is create chaos and destruction and go out and kill people they disagree with. Yet those that support the violent left somehow do not understand what it takes to win wars. You would think you'd be so violent, you'd have a clue about that. They don't understand the importance of battlefield readiness. All you had to do was turn on the media today after this speech and listen to the outrage. And then also he said he was going to return to the highest male standard for combat positions because the troops were fat. I just. I don't understand how that was supposed to be an uplifting message for our military.
- [03:51]
B
Maybe he's referring to Colonel Sanders.
- [03:52]
A
Yeah, it was just. It was really a bizarre thing. Bizarre thing. I'll tell you how it's uplifting to the United States military because they had to serve with dudes in dresses. They don't want to do that anymore. You had men and women in the finest shape that they've ever been in serving next to fatties, and they don't want to do that anymore. Why? Because a fatty will get you killed in a foxhole. You got to go in a battle, and you got to start scrapping with somebody. You need somebody who's as strong and capable as you are. That was not the case under the Obama Biden military. So now all of that is going to change. So I think there is a part of the left that was embarrassed about what they turned our United States military into. I don't know. What do they have maternity flight suits? They were kicking people out for getting a vaccine, for crying out loud. I think they're embarrassed. Since they're so embarrassed, they then turned to lies. This whole notion of wokeness. Was it wokeness that said that we should integrate the military? And Harry Truman did that. Was it wokeness? We said the Tuskegee Airmen contributed mightily to our World War II effort. Was it wokeness that allowed Colin Powell to become the first black chairman of the Joint Chiefs? Is that wokeness? Do you think what you're talking about has anything to do with what Pete Hegseth was talking about today? Peter Hegseth is talking about leveling the playing field. That is based not on your gender, not on your color, not on whose dad you come from, but based on can you get the job done or not? We don't care what color you are, what gender you are. Just pass the test to get the job done. It's that easy. These are life and death standards being instituted, Secretary Hegseth. Those physical standards must be high and gender neutral. If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is. If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it. That is not the intent, but it could be the result. So be will also mean that weak men won't qualify because we're not playing games. This is combat. This is life. Or death. You know, it's such common sense. And yet we let all of this political correctness, this agenda setting nonsense on behalf of the left to infiltrate our United States military. And it's not just life and death of the members of our military, but life and death of all the citizens that they protect if they're not ready to go into battle and win. Here's President Trump again. Military supremacy has never been simply a matter of money or manpower. At the end of the day, it is the culture spirit of our military that truly sets us apart from any other nation. Our ultimate strength will always come from the fierce people and those brilliant people with such pride and the unbending will and the traditions of excellence that have made us the most unstoppable force and ever to walk the face of the earth. Do you know why we're world war champions of the world? Is because Americans are exceptional. Our soldiers are exceptional. Now sometimes they need a little kick in the butt to make sure they're in shape and exceptional. And when they are, they cannot be beat. I want to bring in now former Green beret and constitutional attorney, Lieutenant Colonel retired Ivan Raiklin is with us. Colonel, great to have you back.
- [07:46]
C
Great to be back. Looks like Department of Woke is no more and Department of War is going on offense against the fatties, as you like to call them, and all those that are mentally and physically mutilated.
- [07:59]
A
How happy were you to hear Pete Hagseth speech to the troops today and commanding officers today?
- [08:07]
C
That I gotta be honest, that that speech was the best speech I've ever, ever actually listened to in my entire life from any military leader. It's a stark contrast from the previous Lloyd Austin's of the world, where they couldn't even formulate a sentence without using 10 to 15 ums to communicate their thoughts. When you look at the and listen to the entire speech by Pete Hegseth, I don't, I don't even think that he had one instance where he said or a filler word and there were no notes in front of him. You can see there on the video screen, he wasn't even behind his podium where he would be reading off of some sort of a script. It was a cat. It was both casual, calm, cool, collected, but also very forceful, confident and competent. I mean, this was flawless short of one thing. So I'd give him a 99, an A plus if he wanted to get that last 1%, the 100. It would have been nice for him to read the riot act on every single general and Admiral in that room to tell them they are being investigated for their involvement in the unlawful jab mandate implementation that resulted in 8, 600 service members being thrown out and 100,000 of us leaving the military early because of the forced, illegal medical experiment known as the COVID jab. That would have been 100 percentile.
- [09:33]
A
I have a young man that works with me on my radio program. He runs the board and answers phones there. We call him Radar because he worked on radar systems. But he was kicked out for not taking the jab. Salem media instantly gave him a job. A lot of companies weren't giving people jobs when they came out, but Salem media did. I'm proud of them for doing that. I'm proud of him for leaving and not wanting to take the job. But is there any indication that they may launch investigations into that? And who was responsible for all of that?
- [10:04]
C
Well, in May of this year, the Undersecretary Defense for Personnel and Readiness office labeled that the jab mandate implementation was unlawful. And so it begs the question, who's going to be held to account? And I think this would have been a great opportunity today for Secretary Hegseth to go ahead and explain to folks. I mean, he mentioned it slightly that folks were being thrown out of the military. I don't think that the White House is serious about getting to this, particularly because right after this meeting, he had President Trump meeting with the CEO of Pfizer, Albert Burla, in the White House. I mean, I gotta call balls and strikes. And in this instance, while there are a lot of very successful and positive things that this administration is doing, that is one where it's embarrassing that the president is meeting with and shilling for, for the big pharma product, which was the biggest DNA mutilation platform that this world has ever seen through its Covid jabs. I mean, it's disgusting.
- [11:03]
A
All right, so let's get back to now turning our military back into the grading fight, greatest fighting force there ever was. Let me play you another clip from the mainstream media. This is CNN anchor Brianna Kellar. I want you to respond to what she's worried about here.
- [11:18]
D
It's not just, you know, they'll tell.
- [11:20]
A
You, it's not just that it's a nice thing to have women in the military. It's that it's essential. The vast majority of young Americans are.
- [11:29]
D
Disqualified from military service or they have.
- [11:32]
A
Absolutely no interest in serving. And this military runs on volunteers. So a lot of those people are women, and they're essential for national security. She's worried that they're not going to be able to pass the test. So now we won't have enough members of the military. Your thoughts?
- [11:50]
C
You know what is essential? A warrior ethos. I don't care if you're a woman or a man, but you have to be an actual woman or a man. You and you need to know the distinction of the two. Just to give you an example, when I was going, I was in the military and I was going through training and selection process for the most elite unit that our Department of War now has. We had several women that were part of that process. Did they perform above and beyond any women out there? Absolutely. Would they, Would those two be able to qualify for the male standard? Absolutely not. But there are some instances where women actually could meet the standard and good on them. I welcome all of that. But unfortunately, the enemy could care less if you are a man or a woman. If you're not as lethal as necessary, you're not going to be able to provide for the common defense of this nation. So I hate to say it, there are going to be a lot fewer women unless they have a capability and a passion to go ahead and serve. Not everybody wants to serve. After today's speech, a lot of us warriors want to go back in. So we're going to be able to fill the ranks.
- [13:00]
A
I'm sure they will. And I will say, just to back up what you're saying, I would imagine that your ally doesn't care if you're a man or a woman as long as you're able to kill the enemy just as well as anybody else. And, and that ends up being the bottom line in all of this. Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Rakeland. It's always good to see you, my friend. Thank you for coming. Coming on tonight.
- [13:18]
C
Thank you. Great day today actually. Good job, Secretary.
- [13:22]
A
You got it. You got it. All right, folks, I want to turn to something else that really struck me. Members of Congress held a hearing in North Carolina yesterday to get to the bottom of all of the out of control violent crime and the lack of penalties for career criminals that are getting American citizens killed. We know about Irina Zarutska, that beautiful young woman who was killed on a Charlotte, North Carolina train. You've probably heard about Logan Federico. Logan Federico was a 22 year old woman who went to visit her friends at a college campus and she was murdered during a home invasion. Well, her father stole the show of this congressional hearing and rightly so. He was steaming mad describing how this career criminal broke into this house and killed his Daughter, think about your kids. Think about your child coming home from a night out with their friends, laying down, going to sleep, feeling somebody come in the room and wake them and drag her out of bed naked, forced on her knees with her hands over her head, begging for her life, begging for her hero, her father. Me that couldn't be there. She was five foot three. She weighed 115 pounds. Bang, dead, gone. Why? Because a career criminal is out on the streets that should have been behind bars. And the judge that let him go ought to be ashamed of himself. The worst part of this is Democrat Representative Deborah Ross. ID Logan as Irene is a rutska. She got the wrong person. I mean, how disrespectful is that? As you can imagine, Mr. Frederico was mad. They need to get it right. Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested 39 God times 25 felonies was on the street. How about that? How good are we doing for our family? How good are you doing for your kids? He should have been in jail for over 140 years for all the crimes he committed. I'm going to tell you something, folks. It is only a matter of time before the next Logan Federico is killed. The next Irina Zarutska is killed. It could be your daughter. It could be your loved one. And these Democrats have blood on their hands. One more from Frederico. I could sit down in a room and I could explain the whole process of how it failed, how South Carolina failed. Logan. Okay. How lack of communication. What y' all did, you woke up a beast and you pissed off the wrong daddy. Because I'm gonna put it out there and I'm not gonna be quiet until somebody helps. Logan deserves to be heard. Everyone on this panel deserves to be heard. And we will. Trust me, sir, I will do my best to speak for Logan anytime I can. Boy, oh boy, it just tears you up. As a dad myself, it literally tears you up. These Democrats, folks, it's no longer about politics. These people are getting American citizens killed. This is serious. As a freaking heart attack? No, as a murder in somebody's house at college. That's as serious as it is sickening what these Democrats are doing. Well, President Trump has a quest to rein in the deep state. He may get some help from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is going back and looking at a ruling from 1935 that reined in the president's ability to fire people on independent agencies like the Federal Trade Commission. He's trying to fire somebody on the ftc. Now, they've been saying no, you can't do this. Well, the Supreme Court is ready and poised to look at this case if they rule in President Trump's favor. Boy, oh boy. I'm going to tell you what I think. The deep state could be upended. They call President Trump the chief executive officer for a reason. He's the chief executive officer of the nation. Okay, it's clear to me that the Constitution spells this out. But just in case you don't trust me, I want to bring in our Heritage foundation senior legal fellow. Hans von Spakovsky is back with us. Hans, it's great to have you back.
- [18:08]
E
Thanks for having me back. Although I got to tell you, that prior story, boy, people should be really angry about that.
- [18:15]
A
I'll tell you what, Hans, it literally gives me goosebumps and I wasn't ready for it. I am steaming mad watching that.
- [18:24]
E
And people should be. Well, look, what you're talking about is a case Supreme Court has taken up. It's called Trump versus Slaughter. And what it's about is back in 1935, the Supreme Court issued a really foolish decision. One of the first so called independent agencies created was the Federal Trade Commission. And when Roosevelt came in, he wanted to fire one of the commissioners. The Supreme Court said, well, you can't do that. Why? Because Congress, when they set up that agency, limited the ability of the President to fire its heads only under certain circumstances, like malfeasance in office. Well, the problem with that decision is that as you said, the President is the head of the executive branch. And that decision was based on a fallacy. The Supreme Court said, oh, well, the FTC isn't carrying out executive branch functions. Well, of course it was. And all of the other federal agencies have sprung up since then really unaccountable to voters, unaccountable to the President. They carry out executive branch functions. They can come after you, they can file enforcement actions against you. That's the classic executive branch action. The President is the first to try to really challenge that decision. And the Supreme Court needs to overturn it because like I said, it was a foolish decision. And all these independent agencies, they all exist and depend on that 90 year old decision.
- [20:03]
A
All right, let me just give you Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution. One of the things that I'm so impressed with about our framers is the simplicity of all of this. The executive power shall be vested in the President of the United States of America. How do you argue with that, Hans von Smakowski?
- [20:26]
E
Well, I don't think you can. But unfortunately, the courts have allowed this to go on for all these years under the fiction from that original case that, well, these agencies aren't really carrying out executive branch functions. Well, we all know that's just not true. And to allow these executive agencies, these independent agencies to operate when the president has no supervisory control over them, in fact, nobody does, means you have these unaccountable bureaucrats issuing regulations with a force of law that they can use to fine you and put you in jail.
- [21:09]
A
Yeah, amazing. All right, so the end result, that the Supreme Court rules in President Trump's favor, the belief is this would expand to other agencies, not just the ftc. What would be the ramifications for the deep state? Something like this. Because we know President Trump is not afraid to use his power that's given to him by the Constitution.
- [21:29]
E
Well, this, look, this case is about an FTC commissioner, but he's also, also fired commissioners at other agencies like the National Labor Relations Board. And what it means is he's trying to get rid of bad commissioners, people who are not going to carry out the policies and priorities that the American people elected him to carry out. In fact, many of these commissioners were appointed by Democratic presidents and are obviously going to do everything they can to thwart the policies that the president wants to put in. That is not the way our election system is supposed to work. A president gets elected by the majority of the American people. He's not supposed to be able to be thwarted by one or two commissioners at a federal agency who weren't elected, who were appointed to office.
- [22:21]
A
It's amazing. You know, and we could talk about judges. We run into the same type of situation like that with these out of control, rogue judges. You and I have talked about that before. But look, the will of the people is we wanted President Trump to get this country back on track. And you got to. You got to fire people in order to do that. So, sadly and hopefully the Supreme Court rules in his favor. Hans Von Spakovsky, I appreciate you coming on tonight as always.
- [22:45]
E
Well, thanks for having me.
- [22:47]
A
Absolutely. All right, folks, of all the cell phone companies out there, do you have a Patriot Mobile phone? Because you need one. Only one stands for freedom. That's Patriot Mobile, of course. For over 12 years, Patriot Mobile has fought for our rights while offering exceptional nationwide coverage across all three major networks. Join hundreds of thousands of Americans supporting causes they believe in by switching to Patriot Mobile. It's easy. Activate in minutes. Keep your number, your phone, upgrade, even a new phone. The US team is ready to help. Call 972 Patriot or visit patriot mobile.com Rav use the promo code Rav for a free month of service switch today and tell them Grant Stitchfield sent you. All right. As the government shutdown nears, Democrats are a panicking. That's next. Well, you know, some people call him the Commander in Chief. Some people call him Mr. President. I often call him the boss. You know what else you could call him? Troller in chief. President Trump is brilliant at trolling the left. Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans. Not even black people want to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens free health care, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us. So that, of course, is AI Chuck Schumer with Hakeem Jeffries wearing the sombrero. Oh, you would have thought they insulted their mother. Your mother wears army boots. Something like that. They went crazy over this. Meanwhile, I'm laughing my took us off. But this is Hakeem Jeffries today. Mr. President, the next time you have something to say about me, don't cop out through a racist and fake AI video When I'm back in the Oval Office. Say it to my face. Say it to my face. Here. I'll say it to your face. We're deporting all the illegals. That's what he would say to your face. And President Trump would have no problem with that, by the way. Get a sense of humor, for crying out loud. This is why nobody likes Democrats anymore. That, and they're getting Americans killed. The truth hurts Hakeem Jeffries.
- [25:28]
E
Sometimes it really does.
- [25:30]
A
Now to the looming shutdown. What are we, six and a half hours away from the government shutting down? The House sent a clean continuing resolution, meaning, hey, we'll just keep spending the way it is for the next six weeks or so throughout Thanksgiving. For all of history, everybody's just agreed to kick the can down the road with CRs until now. So what apparently changed, Senator Thune? And so it begs the question, is what's changed? And I think what's changed is President Trump is in the White House. That's what this is about. This is politics. And there isn't any substantive reason why there ought to be a government shutdown. This is something that has been done routinely, As I said 13 different times, when the Democrats have the majority. I'm telling you folks, everything the Democrats are against right now. Putting The National Guard in a neighborhood so we can get the criminals under control. They hate the idea because it was President Trump's idea. They hate the idea of a continuing resolution because President Trump is in office. Everything is stopped. Trump, even if it's what's best for the American people. Well, here to discuss this is the executive director of Unleashed Prosperity. Tim Dosher is back. Tim, welcome to the program.
- [26:49]
D
Hey, Chris. What a segment. Wow.
- [26:52]
A
All right. Well, thank you, Tim. I want to ask you, there's a lot of talk about the Democrats want to put illegals on the rolls for health care and pay for their health care. The Democrats are now saying, oh, no, no, that's not the case. What is the truth when it comes to this fight over health care and getting the, getting the government back open?
- [27:14]
D
Well, the Democrats want, you know, 30 billion a year in subsidies for Obamacare. This is what they've been fighting for. The problem is, is that the people getting the subsidies that they say are getting the subsidies already don't pay anything for health care. So what does that mean? Who's going to get that money if it doesn't go to the people that it's trying to help? It's gonna go to the big insurance companies. It's a buy off for campaign donations for all of the things that the left wants with insurance companies. That's what this is. So let's call a spade a spade. This is an actual play, a desperate play for politics, putting the country on the rocks right now so the Democrats can try and get a special favor to their friends in the insurance companies. By the way, I'm not saying the insurance companies are bad. They'll take the money if they can get it. But that's just what the left is doing right now, holding the US Government hostage so they can then, you know, make this play that they're giving back the health care that we took in one big beautiful bill.
- [28:13]
A
Republicans are awful at messaging, typically until President Trump gets on stage or Pete Hegseth today, who's been doing great. But what should the Republican response be? Because I don't see them responding well when Democrats like Maxine Waters is saying, your grandmother's going to die and they're going to take you off health insurance, not the illegal, but you. What should the response of Republicans be?
- [28:38]
D
It didn't happen when the government shut down last time. It didn't happen the last time. The last time the government shut down. And it's not going to happen this time if the government shuts down. And also it's important to remind people who benefits from, who thinks they're going to benefit from the shutdown. And of course, that's desperate Chuck Schumer. Desperate Chuck Schumer. And the guy that stands behind him, Hakeem Jeffries, kind of looks like his intern, you know, like the worst mentor possibly ever in Chuck Schumer. And they're desperately trying to claw back power that rightfully was given because of the election. The Republicans took control of the House, the Senate and the presidency and they're governing and that's what the people voted for. They have a chance to get this back. But at this point, the, they really should be just passing a clean, a clean continuing resolution and then they can take their argument to the ballot box. But at this point, they have lost the plot. They're desperate and they're trying to get political points through this.
- [29:37]
A
It certainly seems that way. Let me play you a clip from President Trump talking about this, this dilemma we face now. But they want to have illegal aliens come into our country and get massive health care at the cost to everybody else. And we don't have it. And that's, that's, I would say the number one reason that they want to strike is to get illegal immigrants healthcare. And you know, Gavin Newsom wants that too in California and it's destroying California. We can't have that. We're not going to let it happen. All right, let me ask you a question for everybody out there and if I get it wrong, please tell me I got this wrong. The House of Representatives passes what they say is a continuing resolution, a clean CR that basically just continues the spending at the current level, everything as it is. There's no pet projects and nothing. It's just as is we go down for another six weeks. Is that correct?
- [30:29]
D
That's correct. Because what they're trying to do is they're just trying to go through the regular appropriations process. The Democrats are simply using this as a wow, wow, wow. We lost one big beautiful bill and now we're trying to claw back what we lost in that process. They're using this.
- [30:50]
A
My point to saying that is if you're a reasonable person, if you and I don't recommend parents negotiate with their kids, not a good idea. But if you're talking about your kid, you had peanut butter and jelly yesterday, you're getting peanut butter and jelly today. Like, okay, next week we'll have turkey sandwiches. But let's just get through this week. What's the big freakin deal, man? It's only to gum up everything and try to make Trump look bad. Last word to you, Tim.
- [31:19]
D
Well, we saw the poll. 65% of Americans are putting this square on the left shoulders, on Senator Schumer, on Minority Leader Jeffrey's shoulders. The American people see what this is. They know what this is. And by the way, they things are actually pretty good right now. So the scare tactics just don't add up. And I think that the people see that and the polling says that as well.
- [31:42]
A
Hey, only because you were having so much fun. Would you like to, would you like to see it one more time? The Trump please show.
- [31:48]
D
Please, please.
- [31:49]
A
Okay, roll it, guys, for me one more time. Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. We have no voters left because of all of our woke trans. Not even black people want to vote for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens free health care, we might be able to get them on our side so they can vote for us. Tim, a sitting United States president posted that and I love it, buddy.
- [32:22]
D
You, sir.
- [32:25]
A
Thank you, buddy, as always for coming on. We appreciate you and great work that you guys do at Unleash prosperity as well. All right, folks, listen up. Do you owe back taxes?

The Iranian regime is sentencing political prisoners to death. The charges, of course, are fabricated. It's not often I report on a hunger strike from Iran, but we're going to do that next. Welcome back, everyone. It's not often that I report on prison hunger strikes in Iran, but for 88 days, this is exactly what has been going on now because the Iranian regime is killing political prisoners at a record rate. These are people who are standing up to the Iranian regime. They are people hungry For. For freedom. And they are being killed. Get the numbers here. 871 political prisoners killed in Iran in just the first six months of 2025. 190 people were executed in just the last month. So now, as you can imagine, people hungry for freedom in Iran are beside themselves as protests are springing up everywhere as we have hundreds of political prisoners still yet to be executed. This is a woman by the name Ilham Sajahideen. I believe she's Iranian, she's an activist, and she spoke to the United Nations. Over 50 political prisoners are currently facing death sentences on various charges. Many of their lawyers have repeatedly stated that their clients were sentenced to death in. In unfair judicial proceedings that fail to meet fair trial standards. I will tell you, folks, I have a lot of Iranian friends and they come to America and they embrace freedom. They love it here and they don't have it there, that's for sure. I want to bring in now the political director of the organization Iranian American communities, Dr. Majid Sadej Poor is with us. Doctor, welcome to the program.
- [35:37]
B
Thank you for having me.
- [35:39]
A
All right, please tell me the situation. How dire is it and is there anything that can be done about it?

Well, the situation in Iran is dire for the people of Iran for sure. You mentioned some of the executions since last August. North of 1800 people have been executed by the regiment in Iran. The reality in the streets of Iran is that the people of Iran have been subject to a war imposed on them by the regime 46 years ago. And they unfortunately have had to battle against this regime for 46 years. And the carnage that you quoted and I also quoted is indicative of a population that is trying to overthrow this regime and get it killed. At the highest per capita rate in the world, Iran executes in excess of 70% of all people that are put to death on earth. For a country that only has 1% of the global population, the good news is that the people of Iran are fighting this brutal regime and are intending to overthrow it. What is the answer? The answer to your point is that they need our political and moral support. They do not need weapons. They don't need money. But there is a need on in the streets of Iran and their resistance that the international community part ways with perpetual engagement with this regime in Iran because engagement is what the regime is hoping for and looking for so that it can prolong its life. The reality on the outside of Iran is also is that just about three weeks ago, tens of thousands of Iranians took to the streets of Brussels and again Just last week, thousands of us were in New York outside the UN expressing support for the 10 point plan as outlined by Mrs. Mariam Rajavi, the President elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. Because truly there is an alternative to this status quo.

So I want everyone at home to realize that this matters because the world would be a safer place with this regime gone. I'm not saying the United States needs to go in and do some kind of regime change deal with the United States getting involved, but if the people of Iran could rise up against this, this makes the United States a safer place. One of the ways I think you crush Iran is by cutting off its ability to make money. And you still have Iranian oil on the black market being sold. They're making a fortune off of this oil and this allows them to survive, Is that correct? Doctor?
- [38:23]
B
That is correct. More than 80% of the Iranian population lives below the poverty line while the regime is increasing its income through sale of oil illegally. And of course, it has other kind of clandestine trafficking of humans and drugs that it raises money through. But choking the regime's income means choking the power of the irgc, the Revolutionary Guards that are irresponsible, not only for killing and the persecution of the people of Iran that you spoke about earlier, but also for spreading the regime's terrorism arms across the Middle east and beyond, and of course the nuclear weapons project. So yes, choking its power through the banking system, through the snapback mechanisms that the UN has just begun is really, these are important steps and we applaud the administration for, for making sure they hold them accountable.

Dr. Seneshpur, one last question for you. So when you talk about the Iranian people wanting freedom in that country, is there a percentage of people that would like to see a regime change? Is it more than 50%? Is it close to 100%? What is a legitimate number of the people who would like to see, see this current regime out? Right.
- [39:43]
B
I think it's north of 90%. I think it is closer to 100%. Yes, there is a segment that is very close to the regime benefits from the perversion of Iran's resources. But majority of the Iranian people are fighting to overthrow this regime and they have an organized resistance. They have an organized and qualified leadership in Mrs. Rajavi and they have this structure and resistance units inside Iran to carry out this change. But the international community must back them politically. That is what is necessary at this point.

A
Yeah, well, if you're telling me that they're killing 1800 people in just a few short months and you got 871 in 1H20. This is why it's very difficult for you to get the people to rise up. They're scared for their lives, as well they should be. And so I hope something comes of this. People need freedom there if they want it. And I certainly hope they get it. I pray for those people who long for freedom and I pray for the prisoners that are now facing execution. Dr. Majid Sadejpur, I appreciate you coming on the program today. Thank you.

Thanks for having me.

Absolutely. All right, folks. Portland, Oregon is a war zone. But leftists and antifa want to keep it that way. Well, the National Guards on the way. How will it all go down next? Welcome back, everyone. I'm going to tell you that Portland has been descending into chaos for a long time. It's been there. We basically forgot about it, I think in many respects because we thought the city was lost. Well, President Trump doesn't give up on America. He's sending the National Guard back in. They could be there by the end of the week. Let's hope tomorrow or Friday. We do know that our Ben Berkwom is on the ground there. We'll have a live report from him tomorrow. I will say that now you've got these goons pointing lasers at CBP helicopters. This is a helicopter in the air. And customs Border patrol said that this laser is, was being pointed at them. Now, police are pretty good. They released this aerial picture of the home where someone was pointing the laser from. And so now they've made contact with the inhabitants. We shall see what happens. For there they were placed into the custody of the police department. But we shall see how, how that goes. Now. It's interesting. Yeah, we'll, we'll see how that goes. All right. Portland Police Chief Bob Day said this.

C
Today and it's been highlighted so many times, so well.
- [42:29]
A
But I just want to emphasize this is one city block.
- [42:32]
C
City of Portland is about 145 square miles.
- [42:34]
A
This is one city block.
- [42:36]
C
And even the events that are happening.
- [42:38]
A
Down there do not rise to the level of attention that they are receiving. Do you not think something, chief, that's in one city block can gain your attention? If it's pretty darn horrific, if it's pretty darn lawless, if there is chaos and anarchy going on on the streets, it doesn't matter if it's one city block or 50. It's out of control. It's un American and it needs to be stopped. And the reality is either the Portland Police Department can't do its job job, which I actually believe the officers probably could, or they're being stopped from doing their job by City Hall. That's probably a more true answer to the. To the situation. Now, Nick Shirley is one of these chaos reporters. He's been on the ground. I saw this last night. This is how I'm going to just say it. Violent. These antifa goons can be stopped. What are you doing? Why are you so mad? I didn't do anything. You did. What did I do? I haven't done anything. Watch out. You come back, I'm gonna smoke you, dude. Really?
- [43:48]
D
Yes, really.
- [43:49]
B
I'm gonna smash that camera.
- [43:51]
D
Stop it.
- [43:54]
A
That man needs to be arrested. You come back, I'm going to smoke you. That means kill you. Nick Shirley is on a city street in an American city called Portland, Oregon. He has a right to be there. Where are the police? When you're being chased by a goon like that threatening to smoke you, you would think the cops would step in and do something. Apparently, there were snipers nearby that had their guns trained on that guy. But still, he should be arrested for threatening Nick Shirley. Now, you may remember Brandy Cruz came on the program last night. She was broadcasting live for us outside of the ICE facility where all of this is going down. She got into it today with antifa members. Portland PD should be able to. It's not that bad. It's not that bad. Come on. You're right.
- [44:45]
D
But not as bad as 217 trying to get out.
- [44:48]
A
You know what I mean? No, it's not, though, because we believe in humanity and we believe that these people shouldn't be picked up off the street and taken away from their families.
- [44:56]
D
Who desires?
- [44:57]
A
No, no, no, no, no. That's all my needs. That's humanity. These people are lunatics. They. They thrive off the chaos. They want it. They know they can get away with it. That's the first and foremost problem in these cities. They get away with it. So what do you think happens? It's like a bird call. They call them all in because there's no ramifications for this lawless action. Well, once President Trump's National Guard gets there and he unleashes federal agents into that area, as we said in New York, forget about it. It's game over. Speaking of President Trump, maybe game over for childhood cancer. Wouldn't that be great? I'd love to say forget about it about pediatric cancer. This is President Trump talking about signing this executive action. Cut 11 for me, guys. I'm thrilled to sign A very historic executive order to massively accelerate pediatric cancer research and harness the extraordinary potential of artificial intelligence to fight this terrible disease. We're going to hook up the artificial intelligence with all of the other things that we have at hand. I believe it can be done if we have the will to do it. You know, we call it the health care system. It's not the health care system. I truly believe now, after witnessing what I have over the last five years, that it's the sick care system. They want us sick so they can care for us. And it's a big, giant money grab. Let's change the name either to the sick care system or live up to the name health care system. I know that's what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wants, I know it's what President Trump wants, and I know it's what all of us want. Can big pharma and the big hospital systems actually get on board with that? Yet to be seen. DEI hired Joy Reed is truly one of the dumbest people on the face of the earth. What's next? I know you don't like it when I give tips to Democrat candidates, but I want to give a big tip to Democrat candidates. If you're campaigning out there, especially in a really tight race, I want you to bring in Joy Reid to campaign for you. Okay? Is that if you go back before the 20th century, there were no income taxes, there were no regulations on business. You could earn as much money as you want. Leave 100% of it to your children with no taxes. That's the world they want back. And to get it back, they need society to change. They need people to be less modern. They need people to want fewer things. She says no more leaving your kids money. Don't leave your kids money. I mean, I would think even if you're a Democrat, you would want to leave your kids money when you die if you had it, instead of giving it to the government to spend on circumcised men in Angola. Oh, but that's the Democrats for you. Joy Reid in action. That's going to do it for us, folks. Stitchfield's army rolls Stitchfield 1776 on all the social media platforms.
