Well, good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stinchfield. The mainstream media does not want President Trump's trip to China to be successful. I'm going to tell you that the mainstream media also doesn't understand how important this trip is. This may be one of President Trump's most important visits of all time, first term, second term, you name it. This is about easing tensions with China. And I actually have great hopes for. For this meeting with Xi Jinping and President Trump. And here's what I'm going to predict. President Trump is not going to be calling out Xi Jinping on Iran or election meddling or the spying that's going on, because Iran is never going. Excuse me, China is never going to stop those things. So he's not going to call China out on those things. What President Trump is going to do is get China to need us. This is why he's brought a whole bunch of CEOs with him. But first, I will tell you that President Trump is in China to ease tensions, not escalate them. Listen, do you think he needs to intervene at all with the Iranians?
Harley Lippman
I don't think he can help in any way.
Mark Bruner
I don't think we need any help with Iran.
Grant Stinchfield
We'll win it. One way or the other. We'll win. We'll win it, people, peacefully or otherwise. He says I may not even talk to him about Iran. Why would you. Quite frankly, you're not going to get anything from Iran. But before we get into that, here's the. Here's the thing that I can tell you about President Trump. President Trump knows that whatever he does, we will get some success out of this. And I expect the markets to surge after President Trump's meeting. Now, the mainstream media and Democrats absolutely want President Trump to fail. I believe they're rooting against America. Even a guy like Mike Pompeo, who was in President Trump's first term as Secretary of the State, he's giving totally wrong advice here.
Unnamed commentator on China weaponry
I hope President Trump will make very clear if there are, in fact, Chinese companies transferring technology that's killing American kids and putting our lives at risk, he makes the needs to be very clear that that is completely unacceptable until Xi Jinping.
Mark Lynch
Stop it.
Unnamed commentator on China weaponry
Don't do that. And that we will hold them accountable if they continue to deliver weaponry and capabilities, whether it's cyber mapping technology, targeting systems to the Iranian leaders.
Grant Stinchfield
He's talking about weaponry going to Iran from China. Now, Mike Pompeo, you're clearly not a business guy because you're Never going to get China to agree to not send Iran weapons. So why would President Trump bring up a demand that he knows he'll never win on? In fact, what President Trump needs to do is make China reliant on us. Forget about all the other stuff. This is why President Trump brought the who's who of the America's boardroom with him. On Air Force One. You've got the Nvidia CEO Elon Musk is there from Tesla, Tim Cook of Apple, the Boeing CEO is with President Trump. CEOs from you. Ready? Ready for this? Blackstone, Citigroup, GE Aerospace, Micron Technologies, Qualcomm and Goldman Sachs. This is those who of American business. What are they there for? They're there to make deals to get China to be reliant on us. So this is about making your enemies need you. For too long, the United States has been reliant on China. Not anymore, under President Trump. But this is how dumb Democrats are. This is Senator Tammy Duckworth. And frankly, too often, you know, Donald
Matt Tario
Trump has made a habit of cozying
Grant Stinchfield
up to dictators and callously handing over concessions. Well, I don't know if that was Tammy Duckworth. That was. Do we have cut eight for that? Let's. Let's do that. Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. So what Tammy Duckworth said was that President Trump is going in at a disadvantage. Now, there's no disadvantage here for President Trump. He's choked off the Chinese economy. They need America more than we need them. Don't get me wrong, we need China, too. But right now, China is on the run, not America. And so this is, I believe, what it's all about. Jim Banks, the congressman.
Jim Banks
That's why this, these talks are so significant. He's putting them on notice. Buy our soybeans, they come from Indiana. Buy our products. Open up your economy to American businesses. And, and let's move on in a way that puts American interests first. That's what President Trump is all about. That's what he's going to do. That's why he's there. And what's going on in Iran plays right into it.
Grant Stinchfield
So, listen, do we know that China is involved in election engineering in the United States? Yes. Are they spying in the United States? Yes. Are they stealing intellectual property in the United States? Yes. Are they sending fentanyl here? Yes. Are they supplying Iran with weapons? Yes. Because China is our enemy. There's no doubt about that. But this meeting with President Trump isn't to go call China on the carpet, because the things they're doing, they're not going to stop. Do not put yourself in a position where you're negotiating for something you'll never get. That's dumb, but you can negotiate for things you will get, and that is China buying a lot of American goods, including airplanes and jet engines and everything else. I want to bring in now foreign policy expert and geopolitical analyst Harley Lippman to the program. Harley, it's always good to see you. Welcome back, my friend.
Harley Lippman
An honor. Thank you for having me.
Grant Stinchfield
All right. What do you think of my assessment, Harley?
Harley Lippman
I thought spot on. The one thing I'll add in your program, as I was watching it, you had on. I don't know if it was Tommy Duckworth, whoever it was, but they were criticizing President Trump for cozying up to dictators, yet Obama did the same thing, and the media applauded it. And Obama used leverage of China to get Iran to sign that nuclear arms deal, which we know was a bad deal. But Obama was using China trying to get leverage with China successfully, and China put pressure on Iran. So Trump is doing the same thing. And it shows a double standard and the hypocrisy of the Democrats now that Trump is doing that. They just can't get over their hatred of him, and they just want to be critical. You know, if you sit among Democrats, they would probably say among themselves, you need the two most powerful nations to communicate with each other and work with each other, you know, while we are rivals, competitors, and enemies. Yet at the same time, there could be areas of collaboration. You know, we have to work with them, like you pointed out, be mindful. They steal from us, they spy on us, they interfere in our elections. We know all that. But at the same time, there are things that we can do for our advantage, and that's exactly what we're doing.
Grant Stinchfield
You know, getting. Do you think, Harley, I'm being naive to think that this meeting could be so huge. What comes out of this summit between Xi Jinping and President Trump, China, in the United States could really change things in a positive fashion in a very big way, because I do believe these two men respect each other. And I don't think we can trust Xi Jinping in China, but I do think there's some respect there, and I think there are some things they can. They can trust them on. So I guess again, the question is, am I being naive to think we could see really great things come out of this?
Harley Lippman
Well, we certainly hope so, but if. And if we do, that's a great outcome. But even if we Don't. President Trump is doing what's important for the United States and for the world to have peace again. You have the two most powerful nations in the world. You need to have a dialogue. You need to have a good relationship. You need to focus on areas where you can agree. And President Trump is trying to get China to invest as much as a trillion dollars in investments in the United States, which will create more jobs here, help the economy, and minimize the risk of war. So he's playing a very important leadership role for the United States than any American president should do. And I think only good things could come out of this. You know what's gonna happen, though? What I worry about if we talk about the concerns is that I'm sure President Trump is trying to get leverage of China to pressure Iran to open the Straits of Hormuz. So the problem with that is, even though Iran is dependent on China, they sell 80, 90% of their oil to China. Who knows what these religious zealots would be, would be able to be influenced by and have their arms twisted. You know, they are on a path of war. They want to destroy America in our way of life. So it's questionable if China could really influence them.
Grant Stinchfield
Harley, you know what's interesting? Because I actually believe President Trump's not even going to push China on Iran at all. Not the straits. And I actually think this whole idea of the straits not being fixed and it being such a mess, this is President Trump's way of forcing Europe to try to pick up some of the slack here. I think President Trump's fine with the straits not being completely open. He's forcing the rest of the world to say, you pick up some of the. Some of the slack here on this.
Harley Lippman
I. By the way, I agree with you. You know, it's so funny how people say President Trump doesn't have a strategy. He has a strategy in all areas. Just to touch upon what you just said. Think about it. By pulling out. I'm going to shift topic just slightly, but by pulling 5,000American troops out of Germany scares the daylights out of the European nations and NATO. They're saying to themselves, whoa, we better beef up our military, because we can't count on America, because America is wanting them to share fairly their fair share of the burden. After all, Russia is a threat to them. Russia's in their backyard. America is there to support and help, but they have to do more, and he's done that. That they've ponied up more of their GDP for defense shows a successful strategy. I think what you are pointing out now is another example of a successful strategy where I think, you know, and I will shift gears back again to Taiwan. So I think what, you know, China may want to do is ask President Trump to say that, President Trump, please say that you don't agree that Taiwan could be independent. I don't think President Trump will agree to that, but that's what each side is going to try to jockey. But I put my money on President Trump. I think he knows how to manage in this dialogue better than anywhere. I think he's a master at it. And I think he's going to get some really good outcomes out of this that we don't know yet. To your point, we'll find out shortly.
Grant Stinchfield
I, I think you're spot on on this. It's always great having you on the program. Harley Lipman, thank you for coming on your insights. Greatly appreciate it. Absolutely. It's good to see you again. All right, so Iran obviously is still an issue here. And you know, you talk about enemies. Is China an enemy? Of course. You know, our real enemy is it's the mainstream media, specifically the New York Times. They just released another article today saying that Iran's missile batteries along the straits, 30 of 33 of them. There you see the headlines. 30 of 33 of them are still in existence, not taken out. Now, this is meant to sow chaos in the United States. Oh, look at America. They're losing. They're losing. It's meant to embolden Iran. I don't even believe the facts. Where are they getting the information from? Here's Ms. Now, and this is a
Senator Shane Massie
very bad headline for the president. But the Washington Post reported last week that 70% of Iran's missile stockpile is intact. I think about a third of it was buried, but they've been able to dig them out. And then the New York Times added reporting that 90% of Iran's launchers right on the Strait of Hormuz, 31 of 33 are now operational again. So this is a huge setback for the president.
Grant Stinchfield
It's not a setback for the president at all. We can wipe them out with, with one literally call on the radio. And so the media wants you to believe that again, we're losing and Iran is winning. It's so awful. And, and they bring up the New York Times this idea of missile depletions, that somehow we don't have enough ammunition now to keep America safe. I believe that is bogus as well. But it leads to things like this. This is what Ms. Now is reporting. And this is a result, I believe, of the New York Times reporting.
Unnamed analyst or commentator on Iran
It's unlikely. Just as I don't think she is going to resolve the Russia Ukraine war. He's not going to resolve the the US Iran war either. It's in his interest as the leader of China to have the US Embroiled in this conflict where we've used up a substantial portion of our stockpiles of precision guided weapons that we would need to fight Iran. So the longer the war goes on, the weaker the US Gets.
Grant Stinchfield
What? That's not true. And if it wasn't for the New York Times, China wouldn't be thinking it was true. Do you see? Even perception can weaken America. And that's what the mainstream media is doing right now. True or not, they shouldn't even be reporting on those stories. If you are true to America, you don't want to weaken America. Sometimes you have to zip it in the mainstream media. But they hate him so much. They'd rather have all of us, our military lose than President Trump be successful. Well, joining me now is former Green Beret and host of Speak the Truth podcast. Matt Tario is back. Matt, welcome to the program.
Matt Tario
Thank you for having me back, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield
It's great to have you, Matt. So it is true that media reporting can weaken our stance on a global stage whether their reports are true or not, isn't it?
Matt Tario
You know, as far as weakening our stance on the global stage, I don't know because I think the people that know. Right, like the people that know are not going to read the New York Times ago. Oh, better adjust our defense policy. But what it does is it ticks off people online and it causes all of this distrust within the American population. And then we have, you know, meetings over inside the Senate where they start bringing up false information and false facts, asking our treasury secretary and, and several other people about questions that don't even pertain to their job and they just start throwing around these rumors, trying to get them confirmed. And that to me is the big problem is that, you know, we have these bad articles that are coming out. Those bad articles are then influencing the policymakers that do not want us in this war. And they're trying to use those to back up their position and try to make our politicians look bad who are in fact doing a very good job over there. United States military is crushed. Iran.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. What do you make of this idea that, that, that Iran special forces paramilitary group from the IRGC had attacked an island nearby. You were one of the first to report this, possible US troops on this island. Nobody's talking about it. Can you, can you take me through what your, your findings were?
Matt Tario
Yeah, of course. So this particular island sits about 30 km away from the Iranian border over in Kuwait and it's a very isolated island. And this is the second time Iran has attacked it. The first time they did it, they did it with indirect fire assets. This time Kuwait actually ended up capturing four of the people that were on that island and that occurred on the 12th of May. Now interesting enough after the strikes on Camp Arif John, over inside the Kuwait, Iran says that these people were moved, that the US troops were moved over onto this island and it's a very strategic location. And earlier in this month we ended up, or I'm sorry, earlier last month we ended up having strikes right on the Iraqi and Iranian border during the same time that our pilot was down. And they were PMF forces from Iraq, which is an Iran proxy organization that was working its way over, heading in the same direction that our down pilots were at. And so we blew him to hell right there along the border when they were all stacked up in their, in their trucks. The next day Iran ended up attacking that island, announcing that they attacked it and that they were attacking U S service members. Now we have the report that comes out, officiated from Kuwait, naming the officers that got captured, two colonels, a captain and a lieutenant from the irgc. Kuwait also says that two other IRGC members got away. Kuwait says that they ended up showing up in a fishing vessel. You look at this island, the Google Earth imagery that you can pull up is all from 2023. So they're hiding whatever is kind of out there in my opinion. But you can see a defensive perimeter set up all the way around. The IRGC men stated that they were going there to condust conduct hostile activities. That that's according to the Kuwaitis that they went there to conduct those hostile activities. And right now is a very key time as you were just talking about whether or not, you know, the US is going to go to China while Trump is over there. He's going to be pressuring them to put pressure on Iran to open the straight. However you want to skin the cat. Iran's clock is running out before the US actually opens up because Secretary Hexa said yesterday that we don't need an authorization use of military force to go back in and launch another full scale attack on Iran. He sort of told that yesterday. We don't need it, we're not going to do it. That's not our assessment. Thank you very much for asking. No, thank you. So with that being said, Iran needs some bargaining chips. And right there over on that island is some low hanging fruit not too far away. And they showed up on a boat. They said it was a sabotage operation. In my, my opinion, if it was a sabotage operation, it was likely a capture kill operation in order to get US Troops out of there to use as barg chips. Because we've seen how well that worked with Hamas and Israel and the US trying to come to the table and help facilitate those negotiations.
Grant Stinchfield
Matt, you think this, this special forces team from the IRGC was going to try to kidnap American forces on that island?
Matt Tario
Yeah, because nothing else makes sense. That small of a team going over there on that island. Most that they could do is plant an explosive here, there. But why would they risk a team in order to do that when they can just send a couple shahed drones and have a much better impact?
Mark Bruner
Right.
Matt Tario
Especially that close. They, they showed up on fishing vessels, allegedly in the middle of the night. They weren't even on their little fast mover boats. They were on little fishing vessels, showed up nice and quietly and tried to sneak their way in. They got in a shootout. One of the Kuwaitis actually ended up getting wounded. And like I said, two of the IRGC guys got away. But that would be my opinion. Yes. Because anything else makes little to no sense.
Grant Stinchfield
Amazing to say the least. And again, this is the kind of stuff we're not getting from the mainstream media. Special Forces veteran Matt Tardio, as always, I appreciate you coming on and laying it out for us.
Matt Tario
Thank you for having me again.
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely. It's, it's something to follow. Again, I go back to the fact that I think the time now, now it won't be while President Trump's in China, but as soon as he leaves China, you watch. That's when the skies of Iran will be lit up by American munitions that we have plenty of, by the way. Okay, I want to turn now to what it looks like when Alph go head to head with Democrats who don't know what they're talking about. I'm talking about Cash Patel. You know, he's been a great friend of this program. He's a good friend of mine. Well, he went in front of the United States Senate committee yesterday and he did a hell of a job. This is him going up against Senator Van Hollen. You may remember, Van Hollen's the one that went and met the Maryland man in, what was it? El Salvador had margaritas. Ridiculous publicity stunt. Watch this.
Matt Tario
And so there have been no occasions when your security detail had difficulty waking or locating you. Is that right?
Cash Patel
Nope. It's a total farce. I don't even know where you get this stuff. But it doesn't make it credible because you say so.
Matt Tario
I'm not saying it, Director Patel. I. It's been written and documented.
Cash Patel
You are literally saying it.
Grant Stinchfield
No, I'm saying that these are reports, Director Patel, unlike.
Cash Patel
Unlike our baseless reports, the only person that was slinging margaritas in El Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted gang banging rapist was you. You know, the only person that ran up a director bar tab in Washington D.C. at the lobby was you.
Matt Tario
This in this room.
Grant Stinchfield
Allegations.
Cash Patel
Drinking on taxpayer dime during you.
Grant Stinchfield
Director Patel, come on.
Matt Tario
These are serious allegations that were made against you. There are allegations are filed.
Cash Patel
You drinking margaritas with a gangbanger.
Grant Stinchfield
That's what I love. And it's true. He's drinking margaritas with a gangbanger and you're worried about, oh, Cash Patel allegedly has a drinking problem. Remember this headline, first cut 18, the headline from the New York Times Also, by the way, Cash Patel's Olympic schedule left plenty of time for leisure. Basically saying, oh, he was drunk the whole time he was celebrating with athletes. By the way, that's what you do when you love America. You celebrate American gold medals. Well, Coons, Senator Coons tried to bring that up and he got smoked. You attended the Olympics in Milan. How much did your trip cost and to what extent did that help you carry out your mission as director of the FBI?
Cash Patel
I greatly appreciate the question, Senator. As you know, the FBI and DHS are responsible for the security of the Olympics, the World cup, the F1, the Super bowl and everything else. We had 250,000Americans travel to Milan. We're proud that we stood up our jock there and had zero major security incidents involving American citizens. And what we did was we purposely planned that trip around the Olympics because as I mentioned in my opening, the top cyber criminal from the CCP was housed in Italian custody. While there, we were able to work an agreement, an arrangement to have that individual expelled from Italy instead of going back to China like has so often happened in places like Serbia. And so we accomplished that mission and we kept it quiet. And that individual's return to America two weeks ago.
Grant Stinchfield
Bam, bam. You want to say that he's out drinking, carousing, whatever. Meanwhile he's making deals with the Italians to bring one of China's most evil spies back to the United States. How about that? I bet you didn't know that, did you, Coons? These people are all dopes, quite frankly. They really are. And you know what? They don't even realize what they're up against. If I were the Democrats, here's what I would tell you. No more hearings with Hegseth and. And Patel and Rubio. You guys lose every time. Just call it a day, okay? Call it a day. By the way, if you're 65 or older, this is something you need to hear. Medicare is complicated. We all know that. But it doesn't have to be stressful.

Grant Stinchfield
Welcome back, everyone. The origins of COVID and the COVID up that ensued is very real. We all know it came from that Chinese lab, okay, in Wuhan. We knew it a long time ago, yet we were vilified for saying it. Well, a whistleblower actually came forward. He is inside the CIA. An analyst there says Foushee knew it the whole time. This is very damning testimony towards the great Dr. Foushee. Listen to this.
James Erdman
Dr. Fauci's role in the COVID up was intentional. Dr. Fauci influenced the analytical process and findings by leveraging his position to ensure the IC consulted with a conflicted list of curated subject matter experts, public health officials and scientists.
Grant Stinchfield
The IC is The intelligence community. A curated list of shills. Do you understand that? A setup job. And here's the worst part. Take a look at this hearing room right now. There's no Democrats in it. Not one Democrat showed up for this hearing. You would think you would want to know if the wool was pulled over America's eyes, who's behind it, who's running the deep state, who was calling the shots to call me a liar, President Trump a liar and so many others. Liars destroy us in so many ways financially. And the Democrats don't show up. Those people are despicable. Here's James Erdman again, the CIA analyst. Listen closely.
Unnamed CIA whistleblower
Did anyone ever bring up that Anthony Fauci approved the research that went on in Wuhan and it might not be in his interest for the conclusion to be that it came from a lab that he had funded.
James Erdman
That was one example of an email. No one laid it out quite that clearly. You're piecing it together. We were piecing it together from multiple emails from multiple agencies, multiple documents. It was, it was, it was more subtle than that.
Grant Stinchfield
Don't forget we have the emails from David Morin's Foushee's right hand man, saying, hey, don't worry about freedom of information requests. Just send, send this to my Gmail address and we'll skip the whole transparency thing. Well, I want to bring in now founder of Americans for Health Freedom. She's the author of Dangerous Misinformation. And I would also say, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, you're also a victim of all of this. They came after you with everything they had, like so many other doctors, like so many other talkers like myself. This was a big day for you, I would imagine, Dr. Bowdoin. And welcome to the program.
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden
Thanks for having me. And it's good to see it finally coming out, but we'll see if anything actually happens.
Mark Lynch
All right.
Grant Stinchfield
What did you make of the testimony and specifically tying Dr. Fauci to the idea that he knew that it came from the lab all along?
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden
I mean, I think it's not surprising to me. I think it's not surprising to a lot of people. It's pathetic that the Democrats didn't even show up because, you know, this is. Science should not be so politicized. It's unbelievable what they did during the pandemic. It all became political. I mean, people lived or died based on their political party. So, yeah, it's frustrating to me. It's, we're six years into this now. There's been very little action But I'm glad that. I'm glad Senator Paul is taking action. I'm glad Senator Ron Johnson is also holding some important hearings showing how the VAERS data was covered up, the safety signals were not properly addressed. And as a clinician, I still see patients who have been. Whose lives have been completely destroyed by these shots. I see it every day. I still see patients. I've never seen anything like it in over 20 years of practicing medicine.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, let me play you another clip of this CIA whistleblower. Talking about again, Dr. Fauci,
Unnamed commentator on China weaponry
you're aware
Unnamed CIA whistleblower
of is that CIA scientists from an early time after the pandemic began, 2020, 2021, were concluding that the lab leak was the most likely hypothesis.
James Erdman
Doe circulated a paper in May of 2020 that said that all the conditions were present for a lab leak. And I could go through the timeline, but. But yes. My short answer is yes. Periodically throughout 2020, all the way to 2024.
Unnamed analyst or commentator on Iran
Yes.
Grant Stinchfield
And remember, Dr. Bowden, that Dr. Fauci was also telling Congress that, no, we weren't funding all this. Well, it's now been proven that we were. He was accused of lying to Congress, but not officially. That statute of limitations ran up two days ago, which means that he will not be charged for lying to Congress. Do you think Dr. Fauci needs to be charged with anything related to this?
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden
Well, most definitely. And from what I understand, there are other charges that can be brought up against him. I mean, this outside my area of expertise, but I don't think it's over with Anthony Fauci. I mean, we can't prosecute him for lying to Congress, but if he's covering up information that was vital to national security, I would think that could warrant some sort of investigation, formal investigation and prosecution.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, let me play one more clip because it was an important hearing today. Roll the next clip, guys.
Unnamed CIA whistleblower
But your conclusion is that changing from the scientific consensus of it being from a lab to a neutral position by the CIA was significantly influenced by Anthony Fauci.
James Erdman
It was significantly influenced by Anthony Fauci's injecting himself into the IC.
Grant Stinchfield
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden. Here's the other side to this, is that Dr. Ron Johnson says. I always call him Dr. Ron Johnson because he seems like Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. But he's. He's been better than most doctors out there recently. Senator Ron Johnson says he wants to know who the deep state is. We were all silenced when it came to bringing up where it was originating from, the dangers of the vaccine and that came from government through social media channels. That is the deep state. Do you agree that we need to know who was calling the shots when it came to all of that and the damage it did to people like you and others?
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden
Completely agree. Whether or not that's possible, I'm not so sure. I mean, they. Biden launched a 11.5 billion propaganda campaign. They did this on April 1, 2021. I detail this in the book. It was the same day that Houston Methodist became the first hospital in the country to mandate the shots. They doled out billions of dollars to influencers, church groups, sports organizations to spread the safe and effective propaganda and to go against people like me who were telling the truth, what we were seeing firsthand. So the money's virtually untraceable. But yeah, if we could get to the bottom of it, that would be wonderful. I'm just not optimistic about that.
Grant Stinchfield
That's what everybody wants. Well, I would urge people to check out your book, Dangerous Misinformation. Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, thank you for coming on tonight.
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden
Thank you.
Grant Stinchfield
All right. Absolutely. Dangerous Misinformation. There it is. And it is out now. All right, listen. South Carolina Rhinos have tanked redistricting in their state. This segment is inspired by Stitchfield's army, by the way. Okay, but first, starting at 10 Eastern tonight, Steve Bannon will be joined by Jack Posobec for a special coverage of President Trump's high stakes China visit.
Steve Bannon
Tonight, the eyes of the world are locked on Beijing. The two greatest superpowers on earth meeting face to face. President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, two leaders whose decisions could reshape the future of the planet.
Grant Stinchfield
He's for China and I'm for the usa.
Jim Banks
And it's very simple.

What will be decided about Iran, what will be said about Taiwan, and who will emerge as the economic superpower of the future. Behind closed doors, the stakes could not be higher. Markets, militaries, allies, enemies, the whole world watching every move together. Real America's Voice and the war room are taking you inside the story.
Matt Tario
We're at war with China.

My recommendation is throw down hard.
Steve Bannon
Join Steve Bannon alongside special guest Jack Posoko and more Trump in China. Special coverage begins tonight. 10:00pm Eastern to midnight only on Real America's Voice.
Jim Banks
That's the way it is.
Grant Stinchfield
That's the way it stands. We're going to do very well. Welcome back, everyone. Ask and you shall receive. Okay. On my podcast this morning, actually 12:00 clock Eastern Time on Rumble is where you can find me every day Monday through Friday, one of the Stitchfield army members said, hey, can you name names when it comes to these five worthless, spineless Republicans, these rhinos in South Carolina that sided with Democrats. So I said, yeah, we'll name names. We'll do it tonight on the Real America's Voice show. There they are. Senate Majority Leader Shane Massie, Senator Sean Bennett, Senator Chip Camps, and Senator Tom Davis. Senator Greg Hembury. Now, I will remind you, do you know what happened to the Indiana legislators that turned on President Trump? Didn't pass the redistricting map. They all lost in primaries. That is my goal for these five. What are they doing? And if you want proof about just how rhinoistic they are, Republicans in name only. They have no backbone. They have no spine. They have no cojones. Here's the speaker, Massie.
Senator Shane Massie
Y' all doing this is going to tick some people off. Now, I'm not concerned about ticking off Democrats. That doesn't bother me. I do that every day, standing right here. I talk about that a little bit, too. But what I am concerned about is what will the. How will this be received by people in the middle?
Grant Stinchfield
Don't give a rat's ass how it's received by people in the middle. We're trying to save a country. So because you're afraid of hurting somebody's feelings, Mr. Leader of the Senate, you're going to lose America because you don't want to offend anybody because you took South Carolina and made it all Republican, which it basically is, for crying out loud. Well, I want to bring in now a man has become a good friend of this program. He's running to unseat Senator Lindsey Graham in the Republican primary in South Carolina. U.S. senate candidate Mark lynch is back with us with a crowd behind him. Mark, welcome to the program.
Mark Lynch
Hey, thank you.
Mark Bruner
All right.
Mark Lynch
Thank you for having me on Grant in Mount Pleasant with a bunch of good conservative patriots fighting for this country and for our great state of South Carolina.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, I love that they're with you. Are you afraid of offending moderates or those in the middle instead of doing what's right?
Mark Lynch
I'm not afraid of offending anybody that's an enemy to the republic.
Grant Stinchfield
Is a leader Massie an enemy to
Mark Lynch
the republic, Obviously, Yeah. Our state, you know, as we travel around, we have true conservative patriots like the people in this room, but we don't have equal representation in our state House. It's known as crooked Columbia. All these guys get in, they run as a Republican, and all they do is vote for their next campaign. Election so they don't upset the voters and they don't hold to what's true. They do what's best for them and everybody's tired of it.
Grant Stinchfield
You know, it's interesting, Mark, because South Carolina is not immune to this. Texas is a bright red state and yet we have weak Republicans in the state House as well. Look, you're running against a guy who on many things is a very weak rhino Republican. I'm talking about Senator Lindsey Graham. What is it about South Carolina and other states that continue to elect people like this into office that cause a lot of problems for this country?
Mark Lynch
Well, the people in our state house allow open primaries to continue. Democrats crossover on Republican primary days and mess up Republican elections and it protects them. And that's how Lindsey Graham and people like in our state House, the five you just exposed, get reelected again. And we've got to have party registration. In South Carolina, we had A awesome bill, H 333310 I believe it was, that came up with teeth in it, forcing party registration. And all these guys turned it down and threatened some of our guys in the state House and they got scared and went home. And the speaker, Merle Smith says if you bring that kind of a bill up to me again, we'll throw it in the trash can. Throw it in the trash can is what I would tell them. And we'll put your name on every billboard in the state and expose you. That's what we need to do. We got to start fighting back. We got people that are feckless cowards and we're not getting anything done.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah, it sure seems to be true. And again, it's not just unique to South Carolina. We have this problem all across the country. South Carolina, it seems to me, has a target on its, on it for the sole fact that for the most part, the people there embrace conservative principles, the founder's vision. So people like Hakeem Jeffries wants to besmirch the good name of the people of South Carolina. Listen to this clip. Cut four for the guys behind the glass of him. I think he's specifically talking about you and a few other Southern states. The ghosts of the Confederacy has afflicted the United States Supreme Court majority and is invading and haunting the nation right now. And we take that seriously. The ghost of the Confederacy, Mark lynch, what is your response to him?
Mark Lynch
That's he's a joke. He's, he's, he's, he's rewriting history and he's using anything he can to talk bad about South Carolina, we're awesome here. This is one of the greatest states in the nation. Everybody's moving here because it's such a godly place to live. We have four beautiful seasons and the people here respect each other. And I tell you what's about time to close our borders because we're getting full here. But South Carolina is awesome and we're going to give the nation a wonderful birthday present on its 250th anniversary by the removal of a traitor in Lindsey Graham.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, we wish you the best of luck in your race against Senator Lindsey Graham. I can tell you one of the best summers of my life. I was in college and, and I worked on a horse farm In Camden, S.C. it was one of the most beautiful places I'd ever been. I love the people of South Carolina. Thanks to you, Mark lynch, and thanks to the people behind you for being such great patriots. Lynch4senate.com lynch4senate.com all right, up next, be a part of America's great energy resurgence. That's next. But first, a huge thanks to our audience for pushing RAZ music latest single, every Star, Every stripe to number one on the rock charts. Check it out.

Grant Stinchfield
Welcome back everyone. As you know from watching this program, I I am so excited about this. Oil and gas play in Wyoming's Bison basin. Specifically natural gas on 40,000 acres stacked formations of high pressure gas. Well, we're going to be holding a webinar tomorrow and I will be on that webinar hosting with the entire leadership team of Lost Soldier Oil and Gas. And to preview a little Bit of that. I want to bring in the president and CEO of Lost Soldier Oil and Gas. Mark Bruner is back. Mark, it's great to see you.
Mark Bruner
Good to see you, Grant. Good to see you.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Mark, let me ask you, when you assess an oil and gas play, what do you look for and how does that relate to what you found in Wyoming here?
Mark Bruner
Okay, well, I look for what's called high risk but high reward projects and you know, it's hard to find them. I found four of my life. The Beetalou Basin with The Shenandoah number one, a 500 trillion cubic foot field. Pinnacle Energy that was 100 times your money back in three years. And Ultra Petroleum that over 10 years returned at the height over a thousand times your money back. And I think that what this is is far bigger than any of those. And I'm super excited about it. And we, we can't wait to develop this with all our investors.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, so tomorrow on this webinar we're going to get into a lot of the details. There's tax advantages in this, there's taking Lost Soldier Oil and Gas public, which you have an opportunity in this investment to take part in. There's royalties, there's all these things on this. And we'll go through that on the webinar tomorrow and urge people to go to lostsoldier.com lawsoldier.com to sign up. But let me ask you, when you assess risk, how do you do it? Why do you think this project has lower risk, higher reward than some of the others?
Mark Bruner
Well, because no one could drill this. And you know, I've actually been looking at this and studying it since 1992. But because there was a uranium mine out here, no one could drill it. So I've been aching over years and years and years to get permission from the people that wanted me to do it. And finally we came to an agreement and as they say, the rest is history. History. Right now we can see we've got room for over 500 horizontal wells. These wells are going to be, in our opinion, very high pressure wells. The analogs are the deep Utica play in Pennsylvania that where they're building a pipeline finally to save New York and what we call the Western Haynesville that Jerry Jones that owns the Dallas Cowboys, he owns most of that play. And our basin is very, very similar to both of those. And I think those are the closest analogs in the United States to what we have. But I'm a little biased. I think ours is better.
Grant Stinchfield
So one of the things, one of the reasons why I really like this deal is you have really said you want to get liquidity for your investors sooner than later. And sooner than later, meaning what are you looking at? 3 years to. To get your money back out and be cash flowing and all those kinds of things?
Mark Bruner
This year.
Grant Stinchfield
This year. Okay.
Unnamed analyst or commentator on Iran
This year.
Mark Bruner
This year. Explain, you know, we'll. We'll see if we can do it. As I said, 100 to one or a thousand to one, you know, this is a giant gas field and not, you know, I'm not saying we can provide those kind of returns, but they're certainly possible. I can tell you this is the biggest gas field I've ever found, and I think it's the largest gas field in the Rockies in 100 years. So let's see. Stay tuned. I can't wait to explain this tomorrow to anybody that's interested. We can tell everyone how it happened.
Grant Stinchfield
Yeah. So tomorrow afternoon we'll have this webinar. Mark, you'll be there. I'm going to be there. The guys in charge of your drilling operation will be there. You got the finance guys, your accounting team there. Everybody's on this call and we go through questions. And the presentation is great. So, folks, if you're interested in this, I would scan that QR code right now. Sign up for this webinar tomorrow. I'll be hosting it with. With Mark. And I think you're going to really be impressed by this. Mark Bruner, as always, I appreciate you coming on the program and I'll see you tomorrow.
Mark Bruner
Can't wait to see you. Thanks, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield
All right. Absolutely. Lostsoldier.com is the website. Lostsoldier.com you'll see a little button. You'll say, sign up for the webinar. Just click on that, fill out the form. Make sure you tell them that Grant Stitchfield sent you and that you saw us here, and you're going to be impressed. I didn't even know that. This year, when it comes to liquidity, I don't know where you find a deal like that. I really don't. All right. Louisiana Mayor Karen Bass thinks it's time to throw trillions towards dental care for the homeless. They don't even have teeth. Half of them. What a wacky idea.
Harley Lippman
Foreign.
Grant Stinchfield
Welcome back, everyone. So, Mayor Karen Bass. Oh, boy. She's on the ropes. I'm going to tell you right now. I think there's a real good chance that she loses. And Nithya Ramen's not going to be the next mayor of at Los Angeles, Spencer Pratt, is this reality TV star who's handing it to these folks. Listen to this dopey idea from Mayor Karen Bass. How many people who are unhoused that you meet have no teeth at all? They don't have teeth. Why? Because meth rots your teeth. You can't succeed without teeth. So there needs to be comprehensive health care provided to people. So if you're homeless, you get the free set of choppers. But if you're working in an oil change shop like some of my employees that were recovering addicts, you don't get the free choppers. Is that right? This is about par for the course for Los Angeles. And by the way, you better fix the meth problem first, because once you put the new choppers in, they're going to lose those, too. Unbelievable. Stitchfield's army rolls. Thanks to all of you. Hey, tune in that special tonight with Ban and Pasoic. That sounds good. I'll be watching. And the guys at Studio 6B are up.

It provides sharp critiques of Trump’s opposition at home and abroad, spotlights whistleblower revelations and conservative pushback, and rallies listeners around culture-war and economic issues. Notably, it features hardline rhetoric (“don’t give a rat’s ass ... we’re trying to save a country”), underlines strategic realpolitik with China, and finishes with local political activism and a push for American energy independence.
