Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Stitchfield. The shooting of two of our National Guard members in Washington D.C. has sparked an absolute immigration reckoning. President Trump is not taking any bull corn anymore. The jig is up, folks. So add in that. Add in the billions of dollars of fraud that has now been uncovered, carried out by Somalis in Minnesota. President Trump says, you know what, no more third world countries coming to America. He has now placed a travel ban from 19 nations on that list. You got Venezuela, Iran, the Congo, Afghanistan, and of course, right at the top, Somalia. Here's President Trump. Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars. Billions every year. Billions of dollars. And they contribute nothing. The Welfare is like 88%. They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country. I'll be honest with you. Somebody would say, oh, that's not politically correct. I don't care. I don't want them in our country.
I don't either, Mr. President. Not when you have welfare at 88%. Not when you have gangs roaming Minnesota, Somali gangs roaming Minnesota and Minneapolis terrorizing people around there. And then you got these so called business leaders that are bilking America for billions of dollars. No thank you. And you heard 88% on welfare. Can you imagine? You're a veteran, you serve this country and you get 8, 900 bucks a month on your Social Security check. And meanwhile, you're a Somali taking in 1500amonth. You weren't even born here. We have reached a tipping point in this country. And then I see the arrest today. God bless ice. Check out this guy. He is what we are being Told is an Afghani terrorist related to isis. He came into America during Joe Biden's disastrous withdrawal and his Afghan resettlement program. ISIS and Border Patrol and DHS says he was ready to carry out an attack on America. The problem is these people were not vetted. Here's the Secretary of State.
JJ Carroll
The bottom line is there is no effective way to allow hundreds of thousands of people to enter any country in the world and not face consequences. You take 100,000 people from anywhere in the world and you're going to have some percentage of them that turn out bad either to turn into criminals or potentially terrorists.
Grant Stinchfield
Like we just saw there. God bless the men and women working under Kristi Noem and the rest of President Trump's cabinet trying to keep America safe. Yet you go to blue states and blue cities and what do we get? Absolute delusion. They're pandering to criminals. I think they believe they're pandering to their base, but the base is fed up. They want the help from President Trump. These liberal mayors, district attorneys, police chiefs, just don't see it. Do you know the police chief in Minneapolis is now telling Somalis to call 911 if I shows up. Do you understand what this is encouraging? It's encouraging illegal alien Somalis to be fugitives of justice. That from a police chief. This man should be ashamed of himself. Folks that are masked, that they're not sure if they're law enforcement, that they may be kidnapping people like we have had those reports.
I want to be clear to the community, the community should know that if you see something like that that is legitimate, that you don't know if someone is law enforcement, you should call 911.
You know what? I'm going to call 911 and have you arrested for turning your back on the people of Minneapolis and turning your back on the Constitution, the United States of America, and maybe even worse, your fellow law enforcement officers. That police chief has no idea what it means to be a cop. He wears a badge and a flag on his shoulder, yet he's now literally telling people to go out there and fight against his fellow officers. That's what it amounts to. Tell him that they're not legitimate. That man needs to resign. He ought to be taken off with a force. He really should. And I mean that. I don't call for resignations a lot, but you ought to be ashamed of yourself, Chief. What do you want? You want your job and a paycheck more than you want to keep the people of America safe? That's not who we need in law enforcement today. I'm sorry, it's not. You let money get the best of you as you suck up to these radical liberals. Radical liberals that are running the city of Minneapolis now. This is the mayor. Cut seven. We're going to move on to. Guys, it's not bad enough. I want you to listen to the mayor of Minneapolis here. Targeting Somali people means that due process will be violated, mistakes will be made, and let's be clear, it means that American citizens will be detained for no other reason than the fact that they look like they are Somali. Wait, when has that happened? No one can give me an example of American citizens being scooped up and detained because they look like an illegal alien. What does an illegal alien look like anyway? Only the Democrats will come up with some concocted idea that illegal aliens look different from a legal alien. I mean, seriously, that's racist in and of itself. So show me the rights being violated. It isn't happening. If you're here illegally, federal agents have a right to arrest you. If you're here illegally and you're hanging out with criminals, federal agents have a right to arrest you. And if you're an American citizen and you're hanging out with criminals, we have a right to identify you. And once we realize you're an American citizen and you haven't committed a crime, you go on your way, which has happened every single time. But if you're guilty of drug dealing and you're American citizen, I want you in prison just as bad as the illegal aliens that are doing the same thing. But the Democrats don't get that. So they want these criminals to operate with impunity. The goons, the gang members, the thugs that roam the streets, rapists, drug dealers, you name it, they defend them before they defend an American citizen. You would think the District Attorney in Minneapolis would understand what it's like to be a crime victim. Nope. She's going to side with the criminals, not the citizens.
Carla Sands
The Trump administration is planning to send ICE agents here to the Twin Cities to target our neighbors of Somali descent. This is part of a recent pattern to single out our Somali community members. Our office at the Hennepin County Attorney's office here will not assist in any way, shape or form in any of these ICE raids.
Grant Stinchfield
Let me make something very clear to that district Attorney. If you're here illegally, you're not a member of the community, you're not a member of this country. You don't get the rights that citizens get. You will be arrested. You're not community Members, you're not neighbors, okay? And that's the bottom line. And America is now fed up. The days of nice, soft, eager words give us your tired. You're wretched, you're poor. No, we don't want them anymore because our country is literally under attack. It is at a tipping point. We are losing it. I want to bring in now former deputy patrol agent in charge and author of the book Treason, JJ Carroll is here. Jj, I get to add a new title come Monday. Now, ICE Agent for the United States Government at. How old are you, buddy? I hate to do this for you on TV.
JJ Carroll
I'm 56, but I'm in great shape.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, you're like me. I'm 56, too. At 56 years old, J.J. carroll, the American hero that he is, has signed back up. He got his. His duties, and he's headed back in on Monday. Jj, congratulations and a huge thank you.
JJ Carroll
No, I appreciate that and I appreciate your passion you bring in tonight, because we've had it. America's had it. Isn't it interesting that the murder of the National Guardsmen and the other shooting of the National Guard in combination with a Somali disaster that is going on, it's ongoing, it's a huge story, is now the central point that's driving America to say, we've had enough. We've absolutely had enough. And then you begin to see the chief of police, the mayor, the DA now conspiring to endanger ICE agents. It's unbelievable, Grant, the idea. I had a discussion with the sheriff the other day, and the idea that you're allowed to hit, punch, scream, throw things at law enforcement, it's become normalized. I don't know how that happened or where it happened, but we need to stop it, and we need to stop it right now.
Grant Stinchfield
Jj, when you see a fellow law enforcement officer, the top law enforcement officer in Minneapolis, by the way, the police chief, and you could say the District attorney is a top law enforcement as well officer as well. You see them, call 911 on ICE agents. You're going to be an ICE agent. You may be headed to Minneapolis. I don't know. What do you think when he does that? I even question whether he's really a cop anymore.
JJ Carroll
No, he's not. He's turned his back on us. We're the same because our uniforms are different. I get paid by the feds and he gets paid by the city. It's. We don't. We don't see that. When. When I ran task forces all up and down the coast chasing Sinaloa drug cartels. I worked with these local law enforcement officers. We have each other's back. So what, you're going to create a situation where there's going to be blue on blue crime like blue on blue, violent kinetic impact. Can you believe that we're having this discussion, that the local PD are going to direct their officers to impede, interfere, and then probably arrest ICE agents and border Patrol agents? Do you think Border Patrol agents, or do you think I'm going to let someone arrest me as I'm doing my job? Are you insane? Do you see the powder keg that is happening that they want? They want violence against law enforcement. I tell you, the Democrats are vile. They're vile and they're evil.
Grant Stinchfield
You know, they take their cues from radical Democrats that go all the way to the top when we have, I believe, terrorist sympathizers at best, inside the halls of Congress. Ilhan Omar is one of them. We've been digging into her background. It looks to me like she lied on her immigration papers. President Trump said deport her. Well, one of Laura Loomer's reporters on the ground caught up with Ilhan Omar in the Capitol. I thought at least for some fun, I'd play this little exchange for you. Congresswoman, do you agree with President Trump's assumption that you married your brother to get citizenship? 3,500 yards.
Have you begun packing your bags for Somalia yet, Congresswoman? Not going anywhere.
Ben Berkweil
So you're not.
Grant Stinchfield
No. Don't waste your energy on me. Do you have a message for President Trump? Be here probably longer than Trump, but do you have a message for President Trump? Like a quarter of his age. Do you have anything else you'd like to say? Some old man losing his mind.
Bishop Aubrey Shines
I don't know why he's obsessed with me.
Grant Stinchfield
Old man losing his mind. I don't know why he's obsessed with me. She literally is on camera pledging allegiance to Somalia, not the United States of America. Jj, the last word.
JJ Carroll
She needs to be denaturalized, unnaturalized, whatever you want to call it, and then removed from our country. She's vile. And the reason why she's there is because we imported all of her constituents. We created Ilhan Omar, we brought in people that have below the IQ of retardation into America by tens and hundreds of thousands of people. It is shocking what our nation has done to itself. We have committed, we have funded our own murder, and we've brought in people that hate America. Ilan Omar is absolutely one of them. She did marry her brother. To get her brother in. That is a felony. At the minimum, she should be removed from Congress. At the minimum.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, jj, a lot of people just talk about it, including myself. I do a lot of talking here. You're actually doing something about it. I cannot believe. I mean, I can believe it because I've known you a long time. At 56 years old, you're going back in, putting a badge on and making America safe again. And I mean it. Jj, thank you so much. Keep your head low and be safe and. And don't be a stranger.
JJ Carroll
I won't. Thank you, Grant. I appreciate that.
Grant Stinchfield
Absolutely. We appreciate you. And really, can you imagine the sacrifice that man is? He's already done it. He can hang it up and ride off into the sunset, but he's going back out there to keep us safe. I mean, really, the honor that I have to have heroes on this program like that, it's. It's humbling. It really is. JJ is a good man, to say the least. Now, to some not so good men, you've heard the term Arctic Frost. This was this DOJ scheme to take down President Trump over totally bogus election allegations. So there were two key players in this that have now come out. I mean, the kingpins of all of this. One, Jack Smith, the special counsel, him and his partner in crime, Judge Boasberg. You know that name. You know, Judge Boasberg now turns out, was signing off on these subpoenas. Guess what he claims. He claims he didn't know the senators and lawmakers were in these subpoenas. Does that mean you didn't read the subpoenas? Because what good is having a check on government if the federal judges are going to read the subpoenas? But here's what I believe. I believe he read the subpoenas. I believe he knew exactly what he was doing. I believe this was all part of the radical weaponization of the DOJ that included a federal judge to go attempt to take over America through a coup. Mike Davis talked about this on War Room.
JJ Carroll
Jack Smith actually sought and obtained a gag order on that where the telephone companies, under Jeb Boasberg, this D.C. obama Judge Jeb Boseberg, actually violated that statute and said that these telephone companies can't follow the statute, they can't follow their statutory duty and disclose just this to the senators. They had to keep it quiet. And so that's where Jack Smith and.
Grant Stinchfield
Jeff Boseberg are going to run into a lot of problems.
And I want you to know what Boasberg did. He muzzled the companies that. That they subpoenaed the phone records and emails from. He put a gag order on them, basically forcing these private companies into a cover up for the federal government run by Joe Biden and his henchmen. This is outrageous. So outrageous. The Judiciary Committee, led by Jim Jordan, is now calling Jack Smith in to testify behind closed doors. The walls are closing in on them. Now let's go back to a good man, Pete Hegseth, our Secretary of War. We remember Signal Gate. He was texting information on the app signal to people in his inner circle while the Democrats went crazy on this. The inspector general report is out right now. And according to a memo released by the Pentagon, that inspector general report completely vindicates Secretary Hegseth. It reads like this. The secretary is fully vindicated. The IG Found no information shared. The Pentagon memo goes on to say what it found instead is a bureaucracy desperate to weaponize the process by leaking information because they knew it would hurt Secretary Hegseth leaking information.
The media is despicable because they're working with the deep state inside of the Pentagon. Now, I'm sure the inspector general report will say, oh, you know what? He shouldn't have used Signal. But no information was leaked. No foreign adversaries. Got it. So, so, so everything is in the clear. The Democrats going to take that and run with it. Oh, he shouldn't have been on Signal. Nothing came of it. Lesson learned. The man is a good man. They go after him because he's doing his job. Just like Cash Patel. They're going after him with a vengeance because he's doing his job. All right, now to Religion Gone Wild, or how about Trannies in the Pulpit? I don't know what makes a good reality TV show. I like Tranny's in the Pulpit. No joke, folks. It is religion gone wild. In Massachusetts, United Methodist in Rochester, Mass. Near Rhode island, the pastor has come out as a transgender. Watch. I get to announce with joy that I'm transitioning. I'm affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender. And so. And so the best way to put this is that I'm not becoming a woman. I'm giving up pretending to be a man.
All right, that's a pastor. Okay? Your body was made in God's image, and now you're claiming you were pretending to be a man. I mean, God made boys and girls and men and women. I think he probably looked down on Halloween, quite frankly. And that man is pretending 24 7, and now he's pretending to be A woman. And that's who he's. That's who he's preaching to his flock. My Lord, what have we come to? I want to bring in now host of America Shines, right here on rav. He's also a bishop. Aubrey Shines is with him. With us. Bishop Shines, it's great to have you on the program.
Bishop Aubrey Shines
Always great being with you, my friend.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Bishop, what did you think when you see this? I mean, I almost fell out of my chair when my very special lady friend texted me this story this morning.
Bishop Aubrey Shines
Well, Greg, in a nutshell, that's not a pastor. And again, that's not my opinion. That is from the Holy Writ, both Old and New Testament. You reach a Torah, you reach a New Testament, you'll find out, Greg, what this individual really is, is an apostate. Imagine this. God condemns the lifestyle, but some kind of magical way, this individual assumes that he can take XY or xx, change it. He's beyond God. He'll stand. If you are a Christian, he will stand before God's judgment seat, and he'll already be condemned. Greg, don't forget this as well. In the United Methodist Church, you're talking about a split. African leaders have already split with the American leaders. Not just on issues of this magnitude, not just because of this deviancy. We're talking about issues that are immigration issues, etc. I heard your monologue. Excellent, by the way. And our orthodox Christianity, my friend, stands with what Donald Trump is doing even as it relates to not allowing foreigners that are not vetted here. These are actually biblical principles. They're not political. They were biblical first, and now we're seeing them right in our mainstream. So, no, we get it. And we look at individuals like that. That's unfortunate, but it's a joke, my friend.
Grant Stinchfield
Let me play another clip from him because I want people to see this. You know, at first you say, oh, my gosh, this is so. But no, this is Christianity at stake. It's under attack, and it's under attack from within its own walls. And so this guy's name is Philip Fanouf. I don't know what his new name is going to be as a woman, because he's not one, but this is him. Again, roll cut 24.
Bishop Aubrey Shines
We know that clothes are just fibers.
Grant Stinchfield
They do not carry an anatomy with them. So to say that something is girls clothes or boys clothes, well, they don't come with a reproductive system. Amen. So what will change my voice? It might go a tad higher.
Not amen. You Know, Bishop Shines, you and I are not going and putting on a pink dress anytime soon.
JJ Carroll
Soon.
Grant Stinchfield
All right? Because there are boys and girls clothes out there. Your reaction to his comments there?
Bishop Aubrey Shines
Well, Grant, again, forgive me for calling you Greg earlier. I was on another call with Greg. But Grant, here's the bottom line. These are apostates. Again, that individual is part of the United Methodist Church. That particular reformation in America is almost at nothing. They have gone down. They're losing thousands, literally thousands of churches per month. They are almost non existent. Therefore, they are substituting orthodox Christianity to bring in a false God, false belief for one purpose. They are hoping that they connect to the rest of secular society because their numbers are not here. The African leaders, Grant, have already divorced themselves from the American church in that regard because they are going off the rail, my friend.
Grant Stinchfield
You know, we have a church like that in Dallas where I broadcast from. It's made a lot of news. They put paint those. You know, you saw him wearing the rainbow flag. And it's so sad because that community has hijacked the rainbow. And I love a rainbow, just not on a church like that. And so what do we do? Bishop Shines, before I let you go, what can everybody out there do to make sure this doesn't infiltrate churches everywhere? Your Catholic church, your Presbyterian church, all of your Baptist church. How do we make sure this doesn't infiltrate everywhere?
Bishop Aubrey Shines
If your pastor. Grant, I don't care who you are. If your pastor is not dealing with issues of this magnitude, leave that church. That church is unfortunately backslidden and it is away from the teachings of St. Paul, St. Peter and the rest of these guys. It is no more a church than I am a car simply because I go to your driveway and I stand where usually you may park. These are not churches. They're false narratives. And I beg your audience, please run from these individuals, run from these leaders if they don't take a position. There are churches out that are, that are fortunate. They're still speaking the truth in love as it relates to Christ and his teachings.
Grant Stinchfield
Well, Bishop Aubrey Shines, I always love when you come on the program. I love your program right here on RAV as well. I urge everyone to check that out. Great seeing you, my friend. Thank you for coming on tonight.
Bishop Aubrey Shines
Yeah, thanks again, Grant. See you soon, my friend.
Grant Stinchfield

Call 1-800-granger. Click granger.com or just stop by Granger for the ones who get it done.
Well, folks, I warned you of this happening. I'm not sure Vladimir Putin is totally in it for peace. I think in the end, what he really wants is Ukraine. I do not think he wants all of Europe. I really don't. But I do think he wants Ukraine. And I do think Zelensky is a total corrupt player and this corruption scandal inside his country is blowing up right in his face. And now you've got two corrupt nations, God bless President Trump, trying to get this thing solved. But apparently they cannot come to an agreement on this. Russia says no way. We don't agree to this land. Zelensky doesn't agree either. Here's Marco Rubio.
JJ Carroll
What they're literally fighting over now is about 30 to 50 kilometer space in the 20% of the Donetsk region that remains. And so what we have tried to do and I think have made some progress is figure out what can the Ukrainians live with that gives them security guarantees for the future, they're never going to be invaded again. Allows them not just to rebuild their economy, but to prosper as a country.
Grant Stinchfield
So the problem is, is if Russia isn't really willing to negotiate and we put all those sanctions on, which should debilitate Russia, but I'm not sure it is because you got China buying Russian oil and, and I think the backdoor policy on that is, is not working. I mean, it's working for Russia and China, but it's not working to stop it from happening. So Vladimir Putin wants to stoke the flames of, call it chaos, call it outrage. And he said this, this is a quote from Vladimir Putin. Let me put it up on the screen if we can, please. If Europe suddenly starts a war with us, I think it will end very quickly. This is not Ukraine. With Ukraine, we are acting with surgical precision, carefully. This is not a war in the direct modern sense of the world. Now, I'm not sure they're exactly operating with utmost precision. They're willing to take out buildings. What he's saying there is, we'll just carpet bomb Europe, maybe use a nuclear weapon. That's the undertones. There's, there's no way he's going to do that. This is designed to get the radical left to become so crazed that we get everybody and all kinds of dissension happening inside America. Four star general Jack Keane on Fox News summed up the news that they can't reach a deal like this.
JJ Carroll
Their intent is to take Ukraine and topple it.
Grant Stinchfield
Maybe not in the near term if.
JJ Carroll
They make a deal, but eventually they will do that, likely post Trump administration. So if that's the case and everybody believes that, and I believe it, I.
Grant Stinchfield
Think the Ukrainians believe it, I think the United States believes it, then you.
JJ Carroll
Have to put something in place to.
Grant Stinchfield
Prevent that from happening.
JJ Carroll
And it has to be enduring over time.
Grant Stinchfield
You know, folks, I'm going to say something here, why I'm done with these two countries. I really am. Let them fight it out for themselves. That's at the place where I'm at now. No more American money. And if you send no more American money, then Europe's going to have to chalk it up. They're not going to be able to chalk up as much as Ukraine needs. And then Russia is going to take Ukraine. And you know what, Quite frankly, I don't care because I don't think Russia is going into Europe. I really don't. And since I don't believe that, then I can allow that to happen. That's a big step for me. I know a lot of people are not going to agree with me on this. Now I want to bring in America first. Policy chair for the Foreign Policy Initiative, Carla Sands is with us. Carla, welcome to the program.
Carla Sands
It's great to be with you, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, Carla, am I crazy for just saying, you know what, I'm throwing it in? I don't want any more to do with it let him hammer it out there. Two corrupt nations that I really could care less about either one of them. I hate to say it, I know it sounds heartless, but I don't know what to do anymore. Carla, help me.
Carla Sands
Well, we can't solve the whole world's problems, Grant, and this is really Europe's problem. Let's not forget Europe, especially Germany in the lead, decided they could just buy Russian energy and there would be no consequences. Well, the consequence was that Putin invaded Ukraine and Europe, who President Trump said, stop relying on Russia, stop relying on Russia for energy. And they laughed at him. So we should not forget that Europe could afford to prosecute this war, funding Ukraine's defense. But last month, 27,000 young men died. That's terrible, and that is a travesty. President Trump wants to end the killing. American taxpayers under Joe Biden put about $350 billion into this corrupt war. And we know it is, like you said, full of corruption. So the goal is to end the war, and President Trump's attempting to do that. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff just had a five hour meeting yesterday. But you're right, and Jack Keane is right. I think that Putin is tapping us along and attempting to gain more territory along the way because the Russian war machine just grinds along.
Grant Stinchfield
You know, that was going to be my question to you, Carla, because I know Jack Keane will probably end up pushing the idea that he'll invade Europe. This is all the warmongers in the military industrial complex want us to get involved with Russia to stop him from invading Europe. Two questions, I guess, for you. Do you think he would actually do that, Poland being number one on the list? I don't. And two, do you think Putin just wants all of Ukraine, as Jack Keane had said, and he's really not going to negotiate until he gets it?
Carla Sands
Well, I don't know where the negotiations stand. I know that we don't have a deal yet, but Putin did agree to certain items on the 19 point plan. I'll say this. NATO is the most powerful defense, cooperation and alliance in the history of the world. Putin is not going to invade NATO countries. It's basically the end of Russia as he knows it. Truly, that will be the end. And Poland, of course, they're nervous. They're on the border. It's not good to be on the border with someone who's aggressing neighbors. That's a scary place to be. Putin is not going to invade Poland. If he did, it's like I said, the end of Russia as we know it. And President Trump is working right now to de escalate this war and the war talk from the Europeans because he does not want nuclear war. They should not poke the bear. And I agree with you. Let these two countries fight it out. It's going to be very tough for Ukraine. They are running out of men, and they just are not going to be able to win. It's a shame. And I hope that there can be European security guarantees for Ukraine, but there will not be NATO guarantees. The United States is not going to stand behind Ukraine against Russia. This is not like we both agree. This isn't our war. The American people are tired of getting involved in forever wars that have been fought for hundreds of years and will be fought hundreds of years from now.
Bishop Aubrey Shines
Yeah.
Grant Stinchfield
If it's not ended by the end of President Trump's term. If you want to talk about elections having consequences here in the United States, they certainly have consequences there. That's when it ends. I think Russia goes full bore on in there, and it ends if there's a Democrat in office and not J.D. vance or Rubio or whoever are next. Up on the bench is Carlos Sands. It's great to talk to you. I appreciate you coming on tonight, and I'm glad we see basically eye to eye on all of this great stuff. Thank you.

An illegal alien who was arrested by ICE back in October. What? He's back on the force? We'll talk about it next.
Welcome back, everyone. I want to be very careful with this story because on one side, I'm totally outraged. On another side, I'm probably seeing an immigrant that we're probably glad we have in America. I'm just not sure the job he needs is to be a police officer when you're not an American citizen, that you're literally going to be enforcing American laws, taking an oath to the Constitution. But you're not an American citizen. I'm not sure you should be serving as a police officer and holding Americans accountable. Though I'm sure he's well intentioned. This is the story of Radul Bolshevik, a Hanover park police officer who was arrested when ICE found out that he was overstayed his visa. Now he had a work authorization, but he overstayed his visa. He's bonded out and the Hanover Police Department took him back on the job as he awaits trial on this roll cut three. A little trip down memory lane. Ben Berkwil was the one who broke the story for us.
Ben Berkweil
Apparently this gentleman here, this police officer at Hanover Police Department just outside of Chicago is here illegally overstayed his visa. How he got a job as a police officer.
Grant Stinchfield
Crazy.
Crazy is an understatement. And again, there's a lot of issues with this story because the federal government gave him a work authorization and that the police department says we can hire him. Roll the next clip. They still cannot ignore the fact that he was overstaying. That's a federal statute. So whether or not they came up or they missed it or whatever, I'm not blaming them. But it was missed.
Carla Sands
Right.
Grant Stinchfield
So we need to do something and we've confirmed that.
Ben Berkweil
So he's visa overstay.
Grant Stinchfield
Correct.
Overstays the visa. Federal government gives you a work authorization and then you go put your life on the line for all of us. But what happens if he wasn't well intentioned? What happens if he was an infiltrator? I don't think there's any evidence that he was. But what if. I want to bring in now RAV correspondent Ben Berkweil who broke the story. Ben, a lot of questions on this. Your thoughts? He's back on the job.
Ben Berkweil
Yeah, a lot of questions still. Actually even more questions than answers. I had your same sentiment when this first happened. No police department should hire anyone that's not a U.S. citizen. If you have not sworn an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of this nation, you should have no right to be able to hold a weapon and uphold my constitutional rights. You cannot uphold my constitutional rights if you have not sworn an oath to to uphold your own constitutional rights and the rights of this country. And so in general, I agree with you. We're working on some background information on him that may make me feel a little less sympathetic towards him. But I don't want to talk about it until we actually get the information back. But yes, to me it's the Hanover Police Department, It's Illinois as a whole. It's this flouting federal law. And it does go back to uscis. This is the big question. How did he get work authorization if he has it? And I still have not seen the document. I saw the little card that he had. Just because you have a card doesn't mean that authorization still applies. If you overstay your visa, if you're out of compliance with your immigration status, that no longer applies. And so the question becomes, then, if he did overstay his visa, which we know he did, how did USCIS reissue authorization, a work authorization? And that I still don't have an answer for. It goes back to the whole bureaucracy, the deep state, all these things, you know, incompetent government. I don't know what the answer is, but the bottom line is, you're right. You look at somebody from Minneapolis, let's say somebody comes in from Somalia or from. From Russia or from anywhere else in the world, and they're. They're coming in with bad intentions from China, bad intentions for America. They put on a happy face, they do all the right things, and they get hired. It's just a bad idea for this nation.
Grant Stinchfield
I agree with you. Let me do a little flashback. This is when you actually talked to him as he was in handcuffs in the back of that cruiser. Roll Ben's video from then. So how long have you been a police officer? Since January 8th.
JJ Carroll
January.
Grant Stinchfield
Correct.
Ben Berkweil
Just to confirm though, too.
JJ Carroll
Yeah.
Ben Berkweil
So they hired you on. You had work authorization.
Grant Stinchfield
Correct.
Ben Berkweil
And you were able to carry a firearm.
JJ Carroll
No.
Bishop Aubrey Shines
Meanwhile.
Ben Berkweil
So on duty you could carry a firearm.
Grant Stinchfield
State of Illinois, you need a Ford and a CCW to carry a weapon.
Ben Berkweil
Of duty, but on duty you could.
JJ Carroll
Correct.
Ben Berkweil
Wow.
Grant Stinchfield
That, to me, too, is utterly amazing, Ben.
JJ Carroll
It is.
Grant Stinchfield
And here's the question for you. So Hanover Park Police Department, you've got all these questions surrounding him. There's federal charges that could be. I mean, the guy ended up. He could be deported.
They hire him back on. Like, does he not even get administrative leave or leave without pay? I hire him back on.
Ben Berkweil
I know.
Yeah. That's the whole thing. This appears to be, you know, Hanover is basically a suburb of Chicago. This appears to be Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, continuing pushing. You know, Hanover is basically, again, an offshoot of that same ideology. A liberal leftist community saying, screw you, federal government. Screw you, President Trump. We're just gonna do what we wanna do. And you don't like this guy working for us. You don't like this illegal alien Working for us. Oh, here, we'll give him back pay. Think about that. If you're an American citizen and you're under investigation, a federal investigation where you had to be bonded out, there is no way you're going back to work until those charges are either dismissed or figured out. There is absolutely no way you will be on leave without pay almost in every situation. So to have them do this again, it just shows this elevated status in liberal communities for illegal aliens. They actually are more of a protected class than American citizens. It's just, again, the bigger question I have, Grant, is how many other illegal aliens are officers across our country and how many of them have bad intentions? That's the real question.
Grant Stinchfield
Is there any operation in play to check that? I mean, can DHS check that? Is there a national law enforcement database? How do we make sure of that?
Ben Berkweil
Ben.
That'S a great question. I don't have an answer for it, but I'm going to be back with those guys very soon and I will find out.
Grant Stinchfield
All right, well, that's why we love you, Ben Burkham. Great work as always. You were the first one to break this story and here you are back with us. We appreciate you, my man. Thank you.
Ben Berkweil
Thank you, Grant.
Grant Stinchfield
All right. Absolutely. It just, it does boggle the mind. Think about it. An American citizen gets arrested by the feds, bonded out, you go on right back to work. I mean, as a police officer, of all things. All right, listen up. President Trump continues to deliver on his promises. This time rolling back Obama era emission standards for cars. You want to think you see the left go into the stratosphere, this one will do it foreign.
Welcome back, everyone. I'll tell you what, when it comes to the environment, the left has gone crazy, all right? In Colorado, they are now vowing to do away with anybody heating their home with natural gas. Now, natural gas is one of the cheapest ways to heat your home. So how does Colorado accept expect Coloradans to heat their home? Well, they plan on doing that with electricity. Well, what do you think? How do you create electricity? If it's me, I would do it with natural gas fired power plants. I would do it with coal fired power plants and clean coal technology and I would do it with nuclear power and you could light up Colorado like a Christmas tree. But no, they want to do it with wind and solar. So they say you can't heat your house with natural gas anymore and we're going to power Colorado on wind and solar. Now, it gets windy sometimes in Colorado in some parts of the state. And it can be sunny sometimes, but it's not windy and sunny all the time, which is going to really cause a problem for Coloradans and cost them a fortune. Well, President Trump is trying to do something about bringing the cost of everything down, which why he's doing away with the carbon emission standards instituted by Barack Obama and doubled down with Joe Biden. And he says, you know what, we're going back to the old way of doing things. He was with the Ford CEO today. Roll that.
We believe that people should be able to make a choice, as you said, Mr. President, and we will invest more in affordable vehicles. This allows us to invest in in affordable vehicles made in the US which we will take the lead on and will allow us to make vehicles more affordable. So thank you for making this step for all of you.
And it really is the type of cars people want to drive. Now, I will tell you, you may be surprised to learn this. I drive an electric vehicle. It's my daily driver. It's the new Hummer. And I'm going to tell you something, it's a fabulous car, but it's my choice to drive it. I don't need the government telling me to drive it. And oh, by the way, I actually have another car that's gas powered because if I want to drive to Austin, Texas or Houston, I can't make it in the Hummer. So I have a gas powered vehicle, not the government telling me how to do it. Now we move to Tennessee. I am so happy to announce that this Matt Van Epps, the Trump endorsed candidate in that special election for Congress to really keep Republicans in control of Congress. The media wanted you to believe that it was the tightest race ever. In fact, I started questioning it. Is he going to lose? Doesn't look like. Got a little swath of Nashville, but everything else, rural Tennessee, it's red country. Well, he won by nearly 10 points. How do you think CNN summed it all up? Listen.
JJ Carroll
Apps Winning a relatively close fight against his Democratic rival last night for Tennessee's 7th district.
Carla Sands
The nine point margin of victory is actually a big improvement for Democrats because just last year President Trump won that district by 22 points.
Grant Stinchfield
Wait a second. Nine points is not close. And a big improvement for Democrats is not winning. Which is what they told us it was going to happen. They told us the race was neck and neck. It wasn't. Go figure. The media lie to us. Epps responded to his big victory last night. I say this to my friends in the liberal media and to the professional.
JJ Carroll
Panickers in my own party.
Grant Stinchfield
Tonight, we showed running from Trump is how you lose. Running with Trump is how you win.
Amen, brother. My advice to any Republican candidate out there, I don't care if you're running in California or Texas. You side with Trump and you side with America. You go against the man, I'm telling you, not only will the man go back against you, but you're going to be on the wrong side of conservatism today. I'm ultra maga, baby, and so should you be. All right. Cash Patel, boy, he gets into it with Eric Swalwell. Eric Swalwell tweets this out. All right, listen to this quote. I don't mind. The FBI director, Cash Patel, had to wear a woman size medium jacket to cosplay. As someone in charge, I just wish he'd focus on stopping the rampant domestic terrorism happening on his watch. Well, they were talking about Cash Patel in this jacket. I think we have a picture of it. Do we have it? No. Okay. Sorry about that. Cash Patel was holding a news conference and he was in what look like an FBI SWAT jacket. No big deal. He's the Director of the FBI here. He is responding to Swalwell. The FBI, this FBI, my FBI, the one that Dan and I are building here under President Trump, is succeeding in ways that no FBI has ever done so before. So the institutionalists and the anonymous reporters from the swamp DC bureaucracy are the ones we are crushing. And that's how I know we're winning. And if Eric Swallow wants to to come online and talk about what jacket size I wear, I'm happy to send him a women's medium so him and Fang Fang can go out again.
Fang Fang. I don't know who'd wear a Swalwall or Fang Fang, but either way, it was a great line. Way to go, Cash Patel.
Bishop Aubrey Shines
All right.
Grant Stinchfield
My producers found out about my secret life. Hollywood, baby, Hollywood. Only we filmed it in Florida. Of course. We'll talk about about it next.
All right, folks, you want to see a snippet of this? It's a series called Call Him King. I don't have an air date yet, but when you need a warden, who would you call? Stitchfield. Right. Roll it after that, he went home, shot, and killed his wife and kid. His son's two college buddies were along for the weekend. Jesus. That old neighbor called it in. What's his name? His name is Gabriel. He goes by his last name, I guess. Just call him King.
Call him King. Great, great, great series. My buddy Robert Davi is in it. You may remember him from Goonies. And Ciro Depaggio. His wife Lola, who you saw right there. Fabulous cast, crew, production. I'll keep you posted on when you can tune into that. That's it for Stitchfield tonight, Stinchfield's army. This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
Episode Overview:
This episode of Stinchfield Tonight dives into charged topics surrounding immigration enforcement, alleged fraud among Somali communities in Minnesota, crime in U.S. cities, law enforcement controversies, U.S. foreign policy towards Ukraine and Russia, the state of American churches, climate regulation rollbacks, and policing with non-citizens. Host Grant Stinchfield—joined by regular guests JJ Carroll, Carla Sands, Bishop Aubrey Shines, and Ben Berkweil—employs a combative, populist tone, focusing on themes of American sovereignty, distrust in mainstream institutions, and defense of traditional values.
[01:23–06:00] Immigration Policy, Fraud Allegations, and National Guard Incident
Minnesota Somali Fraud Allegations & Trump’s Response:
Stinchfield opens with news of “billions of dollars of fraud... by Somalis in Minnesota,” tying it to a broader critique of U.S. immigration policy. He quotes Trump’s controversial remarks advocating a travel ban from 19 countries, including Somalia, citing high welfare dependency and asserting, “I don’t want them in our country. I’ll be honest with you.” (Trump, 02:13)
National Guard Shooting in D.C.:
The shooting of two National Guard members becomes a rallying cry: “The shooting... has sparked an absolute immigration reckoning. President Trump is not taking any bull corn anymore. The jig is up, folks.” (Stinchfield, 01:23)
Biden Administration’s Vetting Policies:
Stinchfield criticizes the Afghan resettlement program, citing reports of an “Afghani terrorist related to ISIS” entering during the U.S. withdrawal: “The problem is these people were not vetted.” (Stinchfield, 03:27)
Quote Highlight:
“The bottom line is there is no effective way to allow hundreds of thousands of people to enter any country in the world and not face consequences.”
— JJ Carroll, [03:42]
[06:00–13:09] Minneapolis and Law Enforcement Clash
Minneapolis Police Chief & ICE:
Stinchfield lambasts Minneapolis leadership for advising local Somalis to call 911 if approached by ICE: “This man should be ashamed of himself... he wears a badge and a flag on his shoulder, yet he’s now literally telling people to go out there and fight against his fellow officers.” (Stinchfield, 05:12)
Minneapolis Mayor’s Warning Against Profiling:
Stinchfield mocks concerns that Somalis may be wrongly detained, dismissing racial profiling as a “concocted idea.”
“Seriously, that’s racist in and of itself. So show me the rights being violated. It isn’t happening.”
(Stinchfield, 07:18)
District Attorney’s Stance:
Carla Sands paraphrases the DA’s refusal to cooperate in ICE raids, fueling Stinchfield’s argument that illegal immigrants are not “community members.”
[09:28–13:09]
JJ Carroll Returns as ICE Agent:
Stinchfield praises Carroll for returning to duty at 56:
"You're going back out there to keep us safe... the honor that I have to have heroes on this program like that, it’s... humbling."
(Stinchfield, 14:15)
Law Enforcement Dissent and “Blue on Blue” Risks:
Carroll decries Minneapolis officials for directing police to act against ICE:
“We have each other's back... you’re going to create a situation where there's going to be blue on blue crime... kinetic impact. Do you see the powder keg that is happening? They want violence against law enforcement. The Democrats are vile. They're vile and they're evil.”
(Carroll, 11:02)
[12:00–13:50]
Laura Loomer Reporter Confronts Omar:
Stinchfield airs a confrontation, repeating the (debunked) claim Omar “married her brother to get citizenship.” Omar pushes back:
"I don't know why he's obsessed with me."
(Omar, 12:57)
JJ Carroll’s Extreme Critique:
Carroll states:
"She needs to be denaturalized, unnaturalized, whatever you want to call it, and then removed from our country. She's vile. ... We have committed... funded our own murder... Ilan Omar is absolutely one of them. She did marry her brother. ... At the minimum, she should be removed from Congress."
(Carroll, 13:09)
[14:15–17:48]
Jack Smith, Judge Boasberg, and Surveillance Allegations:
Stinchfield attacks DOJ special counsel Jack Smith and Judge Boasberg for their handling of subpoenas and gag orders:
“He muzzled the companies... forcing these private companies into a cover up for the federal government run by Joe Biden and his henchmen. This is outrageous."
(Stinchfield, 16:19)
War Room Commentary:
JJ Carroll relays Mike Davis’s accusations about legal overreach.
Vindication of Sec. Pete Hegseth ("Signal Gate"):
Stinchfield reports Hegseth is “fully vindicated” by an Inspector General report, asserting,
“The media is despicable because they're working with the deep state inside of the Pentagon.”
(Stinchfield, 17:48)
[17:48–24:23]
Massachusetts Transgender Pastor:
Stinchfield introduces viral news of a transgender Methodist pastor, saying:
“Your body was made in God’s image, and now you’re claiming you were pretending to be a man. ... My Lord, what have we come to?”
(Stinchfield, 19:08)
Bishop Aubrey Shines' Theological Response:
Shines argues,
“That's not a pastor... what this individual really is, is an apostate. ... Orthodox Christianity... stands with what Donald Trump is doing even as it relates to not allowing foreigners that are not vetted here. These are actually biblical principles.”
(Shines, 19:59–21:25)
Advice for Christians:
“If your pastor is not dealing with issues of this magnitude, leave that church. ... These are not churches. They're false narratives… Run from these leaders if they don't take a position."
(Shines, 23:41)
[26:10–33:50]
Stalemated Peace Talks & Trump’s Role:
Stinchfield laments lack of peace in Ukraine, blaming Zelensky’s and Putin’s “corruption,” expressing apathy:
“Let them fight it out for themselves... No more American money. ... And you know what, Quite frankly, I don't care because I don't think Russia is going into Europe. I really don't."
(Stinchfield, 28:53)
Expert Opinions:
Carla Sands responds,
“We can't solve the whole world's problems, Grant, and this is really Europe’s problem. Let's not forget Europe... decided they could just buy Russian energy and there would be no consequences. Well, the consequence was that Putin invaded Ukraine…”
(Sands, 29:53)
She adds,
“NATO is the most powerful defense... Putin is not going to invade NATO countries. It's basically the end of Russia as he knows it."
(Sands, 31:41)
[34:56–42:09]
Hanover Park, IL — Police Officer with Lapsed Visa:
Stinchfield explores the case of Radul Bolshevik, a non-citizen with a lapsed visa hired (and re-hired) as a police officer.
“I'm just not sure the job he needs is to be a police officer when you're not an American citizen, that you're literally going to be enforcing American laws, taking an oath to the Constitution. But you're not an American citizen. I'm not sure you should be serving as a police officer…”
(Stinchfield, 34:56)
Ben Berkweil Raises National Security Questions:
“No police department should hire anyone that's not a U.S. citizen. ... You cannot uphold my constitutional rights if you have not sworn an oath... In general, I agree with you. ... It's just a bad idea for this nation."
(Berkweil, 37:22)
Undercurrent of Systemic Distrust:
Both question bureaucratic failures enabling such situations, hinting at potential infiltration.
[42:38–46:28]
Rollback of Biden/Obama Emission Standards:
Stinchfield commends Trump for rolling back climate regulations, emphasizing consumer choice:
“It really is the type of cars people want to drive. ... I drive an electric vehicle... but it's my choice to drive it. I don't need the government telling me to drive it.”
(Stinchfield, 44:31)
Colorado’s NatGas Ban Critique:
He denounces a new Colorado policy to phase out natural gas home heating as unworkable and expensive.
Tennessee Congressional Special Election:
Stinchfield hails a Trump-backed Republican’s 9-point victory—contrary to “liberal media panic”—as proof:
“Running from Trump is how you lose. Running with Trump is how you win."
(Epps, quoted by Stinchfield, 46:18)
“I'm going to call 911 and have you arrested for turning your back on the people of Minneapolis...” [05:12]
“We have each other's back. ... Can you believe that we're having this discussion, that the local PD are going to direct their officers to impede, interfere, and then probably arrest ICE agents and border Patrol agents? … The Democrats are vile. They're vile and they're evil.” [11:02]
“We can't solve the whole world's problems, Grant, and this is really Europe's problem.” [29:53]
“No more American money. ... And you know what, Quite frankly, I don't care because I don't think Russia is going into Europe.” [28:53]
“If your pastor is not dealing with issues of this magnitude, leave that church. ... They're false narratives.” [23:41]
Stinchfield repeatedly aligns with a hardline, “America First” perspective, closing with strong endorsements of Trump’s influence, cries for administrative accountability, and critiques of both progressive and establishment causes. His signoff is an emotional thanks to law enforcement guests, a promise to cover ongoing political battles, and self-promotion for his acting cameo in a new series (“Call Him King”).
The episode weaves together issues of immigration, law enforcement integrity, culture wars, skepticism toward government and media elites, and the politics of American identity. Throughout, Stinchfield and his guests espouse a combative, unapologetic populism—portraying themselves as defenders of “real” America under siege from both foreign and domestic adversaries.
