Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield
went on one of the most unhinged
rant professing his loyalty to
Donald Trump.
Now, he was discussing the US
withdrawal from Afghanistan.
And in the context of that
discussion, he has a guest on,
a man by the name of Joe Saboe,
he is the founder of a group known
as Team America, right?
So right on brand for Newsmax.
And look, what Saboe is doing
is he's trying to help our
Afghan allies leave Afghanistan.
So that's what his whole project
is with Team America.
But it's not really about him.
It's about the fact that as soon
as he had super mild criticism for
Trump, Stinchfield, well,
just watch.
>> I can tell you this, this didn't
happen under President Trump.
And I know there's a lot of people
on the left that want to try
to blame President Trump, he wanted
out of Afghanistan real bad.
He was real frustrated not being
able to get out, but he didn't pull
out because he knew this would
happen, in fact, we all did.
I called it on this program.
>> With due respect Grant, I mean,
veterans, I being one, right and
our friends are over there.
We follow this closely from
multiple administrations and we
know the Trump's administration's
efforts here were fairly weak.
That they were trying to limit
the number of people that
would get out.
And so there was coordination
problems. >> Joe,
Joe, I'm going to cut you.
I'm already weak,
I'm already low on time, Joe.
Joe, cut him off please,
cut him off now.
Cut him off now.
You're not going to blame this on
President Trump on my show.
That's not happening.
Now I appreciate the work that
you're doing.
God bless you for being a veteran.
God bless you for
trying to get Americans out.
But don't come on his program and
take the talking points to the left
and blame President Trump.
That's not helping anybody.
The Biden administration screwed
this up from the very start.
You know it, I know it,
the country knows it.
I'm mad about that, man,
I really am.
All right.
We're going to slow it down.
Because we've got a real
hero coming up, that man's
a real hero too, he served.
>> I mean, not to recycle a line
from Twitter, but
Trump's not going to eff you, bro.
[LAUGH] relax, what was that?
>> Yeah, no, no.
>> What was that?
>> Catastrophe,
these guys are obsessed with Trump.
They're in love.
Would that guy defend his mother
with that kind of rage?
I doubt it, I mean,
that was the mildest criticism of
Trump I have ever heard in my life.
That the guy just said in passing
previous administrations weren't
great on this issue either as he
was hitting Joe Biden and
this cuck over here is like, how
dear you, that's my beloved, that's
our dear leader, we pray to Him.
We worship Him, his feet, his ass,
how dare you, cut him off.
That was the mildest criticism
I've ever seen.
My god, Donald Trump, I'm so sorry
Donald, I'll do anything, please
come over my wife's available.
>> For me, it reinforced something
that I already knew and
we've talked about on the show,
which is,
when it comes to our troops, when
it comes to our veterans, these
are people who get used as props by
right wing talking heads and
blockheads, like Stinchfield.
They don't actually care about,
we need to support our troops.
They don't even care about getting
the troops safely
out of Afghanistan.
Unless they can use them as props
conveniently to make their
political talking points, right?
That's all it is.
I mean,
that veteran was super calm and
what he was saying was accurate.
He was just trying to make a point
about like, look,
the Trump administration wanted to
limit the number of our Afghan
allies into the United States.
>> That's a fact.
>> It's just a fact,
and- >> Trump says it all the time.
>> [LAUGH] He says it brazenly.
>> So I don't know, Stinchfield,
are you in favor of bringing in our
allies or not in favor of bringing
our allies?
Do you agree with Trump's decision
or don't you?
But he didn't even want to deal
with that cognitive dissonance.
And he didn't want to deal with
anyone ever criticizing
the authoritarian leader he wishes
were in charge instead of our
current democracy.
Have you ever seen a man so
triggered in your entire life?
>> It was incredible.
It really was. >> Yeah, I mean,
they say, Trump lives rent
free inside your heads.
No, apparently he lives rent-free
inside your heads and
in your pants.
>> [LAUGH] My god.
>> Okay, I mean,
I've never seen anyone so
in love with someone in my life.
>> That was pretty
amazing, all right.
There's one other example I want to
give you guys.
This one is not as explosive.
However it does involve Mo Brooks
so you know it's going to be fun.
Now Mo Brooks is
debating his political opponent.
This is a part of their campaign
for a Senate seat.
So Katie Britt is the Republican
opponent that he's debating here,
and they get into this debate not
about an issue that would actually
matter to the constituents they're
hoping to represent,
but about who loves Trump more?
Let's watch.
>> I guess my question for you is
when you said you didn't know if
you'd vote for Hillary Clinton or
Donald Trump back in 2016 and
refused to answer the question.
I think then that you make
[APPLAUSE] >> No, no, no,
no, give you a full minute.
>> I'll ask you that one.
>> And then, you also denigrated
our President, President Trump and
you said all of us who voted for
him which by the way,
I voted for him every single time
he was on the ballot and so did my
husband and that is certainly not
something you can say.
So it seems that you might have
started the whole let's not stand
with the party.
Well I think you >> I voted for
Donald Trump in 2016.
And I voted for Donald Trump in
2020 and I think you're going to
see a lot of misinformation like
you've just seen.
In 2016, I cut a check for $2,500
to help Donald Trump get elected.
I don't know how much
other people do.
I know Lynda Blanchard did
quite a bit.
I don't know
about the other candidates.
But there's a reason why
Donald Trump endorsed me in 2018.
Donald Trump endorsed me in 2020,
Donald Trump has endorsed me in
2022.
[APPLAUSE] >> So if you want to
make an issue of Donald Trump and
where he stands, by golly, let's
have at it because Donald Trump
knows who the real fighter is for
the MAGA agenda for
the state of Alabama and
he has said as well for us.
So you can take Katie's word for
it or you can take Donald Trump's
word for it.
>> I am not talking about that.
>> New question.
>> Just want to remind- [LAUGH]
>> You all of the specific person
that they're having this loyalty
off about.
Let's watch.
>> The book also quotes Trump as
telling his always loyal
Vice President Mike Pence, that if
he didn't refuse to certify the
election results, quote, I don't
want to be your friend anymore.
>> [LAUGH] By the way,
that's why they're doing this ass
kissing contest, because it's true.
For Republicans now in the recent
poll, this is really interesting,
59% of Republicans said, supporting
Donald Trump is a core part of what
it means to be a Republican.
[LAUGH] >> Six
out of ten Republicans saying,
it's not just even a loyalty test,
it's an ass kissing test.
If you're not inside his cheeks,
you're not a Republican
>> That's what six out of ten
Republicans are saying.
[LAUGH] >> So that's why these guys
are humiliating themselves.
Yeah, my husband also
voted for him.
Did your dog vote for him?
I bet your dog- [LAUGH] >> Didn't
vote for him.
And neither did your cousins.
We know it because it's Alabama.
And by the way,
[LAUGH] note that this is Alabama,
where Jeff Sessions was the first
senator to support Donald Trump in
2016, Donald Trump makes him
Attorney General.
And then Jeff Sessions recused
himself from the Russia case
because he was involved and
he obliterated Jeff Sessions.
He destroyed Jeff Sessions' career.
>> He didn't want to be
his friend anymore.
[LAUGH] >> But that's right,
he didn't, I don't want to be
Jeff's friend anymore and
everyone [INAUDIBLE]- [LAUGH]
>> You gotta be Trump's friend and
your husband has to be Trump's
friend- [LAUGH] >> And your dog.
Everyone's gotta be Trump's friend.
Look at what he did Jeff Sessions,
they're so weak.
The entire party has been cucked
by this guy.
>> It's so good.
>> It's amazing that ass kiss off.
>> It's so good.
>> Where they went back and
went, yeah- [LAUGH] Yeah?
>> They're standing up too,
they're like,
I'm going to stand up and
really make my case for
how much I love Donald Trump.
It's amazing.
They're not getting animated
about anything
that would materially improve
the lives of their constituents.
They're just getting animated over
who loves Donald Trump more and
yes, yes, I'm going to do it,
we gotta watch that last video one
more time because it gives me just
energy, it gives me life,
it gives me what I need.
Let's watch.
>> The book also quotes Trump as
telling his always loyal
Vice President Mike Pence, that if
he didn't refuse to certify the
election results, quote, I don't
want to be your friend anymore.
[LAUGH] >> I can't get
enough of that video,
my favorite part is like,
he says quote,
like just a serious reporter.
I love that this is like an old
school seasoned vet,
has been a reporter forever and
he's like, I have been reduced
to reporting on this garbage.
[LAUGH] >> And he's like,
what voice do I give him?
Do I say, I don't want to be your-
[LAUGH] >> Friend anymore or
do I just read it normal?
I don't know.
[LAUGH] >> I don't know.
Republicans if it seems like we're
laughing at you,
that's because we are.
You guys are in a contest to see
who could worship this leader more,
and it's really embarrassing in
a way that we're greatly enjoying.
I mean, did you see those quotes in
the middle of that debate over who
loves Trump more?
And he said, yeah, we want to talk
about who likes Trump more.
And he said, quote let's or
as if I was a CBS reporter,
he said quote, let's have at it.
[LAUGH] >> Quote, I don't want to
be your friend anymore.
[LAUGH] >> We have to get that on
the sound board, I love it,
it's so good.
And then somebody else is like,
I'm the real quote real fighter
for Trump.
It reminded me of a friend
of mine who got really
drunk at Halloween once.
[LAUGH] and some other guy
was dressed up as the Hulk,
got into a fight, and
my drunk friend starts yelling at
him from across the street.
Hey, Hulk, the real fight is here.
[LAUGH] >> The real fight is here.
So these folks are, hey Trump,
[LAUGH] the real fighter for
you is here.
Please be my friend.
>> Quote, I don't want to be
your friend anymore.
[LAUGH]
