This of course is Stitchfield Tonight. So great to have you along with me today. We are well into the season of exposure. I actually like to call it the season of retribution. I am so happy to tell you tonight that the national security adviser, John Bolton, has now been charged with 18 counts of sharing thousands of pages of classified information, many of them marked top secret. Who did he share this information to? 2 individuals labeled in this indictment. And I have read through the 26 page indictment. These two individuals appear to be his editors. The problem is in the indictment, it's not that this was for his book. This was information outside of what he published in the book. Very sensitive information. Let me go through some of it. It was intelligence about future attacks. It was foreign adversaries, future missile attacks, all of this compromising national security, the United States of America. There was intel on foreign adversari in many respects. And it revealed human intelligence, operations and sensitive sources and methods. To me, what is spelled out in this indictment, I believe there were people put at risk, Americans put at risk, because John Bolton decided to share this information, maybe for a book, maybe it was his editors. It doesn't matter. Imagine if those editors were compromised. Now, through all of this, in emails to these individuals one and two, he basically acknowledges what he was doing was wrong. This is attorney Mike Davis. What's damning for John Bolton in this indictment is they go through in this indictment to show his knowledge and intent. They go through and, and quote John Bolton in the past for when he's talked about how doing the very things he allegedly did here is a very serious national security crime, espionage. And they go through these documents, and some of these documents are top secret. So they spell it out that Bolton was well aware that Mike Davis is saying here that he was well aware of exactly what he was doing. Now, many of the liberals will go back to President Trump. All this is retribution. Well, it's only retribution. But on top of the retribution, it happens to be a man who, who in my opinion, sure looks like he's broken the law according to this indictment. Now, I know from sources very close to President Trump that the only thing President Trump directed the DOJ to do is go after those people who broke the law. Beyond that, the DOJ was completely on its own here. Here's President Trump was just indicted by a grand jury in Maryland. Do you have a reaction to that? I didn't know that. You told me for the first time. But I think he's, you know, a bad person. I think he's a bad guy. Yeah, he's a bad guy. Too bad. But the way it goes, well, he was a warmonger and I believe John Bolton was one of the crew that was, that was there to try to sink President Trump along the way. Now, maybe the most damaging in all of this is that the mainstream liberal corporate media seems to see what I see, that this indictment is most certainly legit. This from cnn, and that is the sort of thing that the Justice Department does say frequently, not just in the climate of a Trump administration, that that's something that you should not do. We have seen many charges like this before of other high ranking officials. All right, so I'm not an attorney, but I can tell you I've read through a lot of indictments. This one's 26 pages long. It seems to use John Bolton's own words against him. Clearly, the DOJ spells out, they have the documents that, that show this is classified information being pushed out to someone, two people who shouldn't have it. What's the chance of a conviction? How strong is this case? I want to bring in now, 20 year defense attorney Sam Rajofsky is with us. Sam, welcome to the program. Grant, great to be with you. Well, it's great to have you on, Sam. I imagine you've had a chance to read through this indictment and I'll just ask you flat out, what's your thoughts on it? My first impression reading this is it is a very quality piece of work. I mean, the prosecutors here took time to outline everything that they had. And to the extent that they're obligated to be truthful in their representations to the court, I think this is damning. I think they've got him dead to rights going through this. It's a methodical takedown of someone who thought for a long time he was untouchable, he was above the law, he could do things. By the way, Bolton has a history of criticizing Trump and his handling of classified documents. So this, to me, I see a conviction happening here. If these facts are as alleged and they're able to demonstrate so in court, you know, Bolton's in real trouble. You know, one of the things that prosecutors did in this indictment, Bolton always been claiming that, oh, I got all of this stuff for approval, this was for the book. Well, they make a point of spelling out that much of what's in this indictment did not end up in the book and that is not what was approved by the DOJ and the federal government. Your thoughts on that? Well, that's exactly right. And that's going to be, you know, that's something that they've, they have, have mentioned, but they're clearly the, you know, there was, I, I guess there was a Google, you know, document page and an AOL account and all these non secure, you know, systems that they were transmitting thousands of pages of critically sensitive information that had then, if you'll recall, was hacked by the Iranians in 2021 and created a huge problem for the U.S. you know, the, the, the investigation into this didn't begin with Trump. It began, it began under Biden. And the Biden people were looking at this, but they, they held it under ramps because Bolton was a useful tool for them to fight Trump. So they, you know, this scandal goes such a political story. If the prosecution got political in any way, it was the prosecution under the Biden administration of Bolton. Otherwise, this is all very straightforward. Sam, one of the things that I noticed in this is that Bolton kept what he called a diary and he would send these diary entries, and in the diary entries was the release of classified information. Am I right in believing that if you take something out of a classified document and you hand write it, share that with somebody else, that's the same equivalent of sharing a classified document? That is absolutely correct. So the law does not specify that you have to reproduce exactly the same document in its original form with its original classifications. You could tell somebody, you could be at a bar and turn to the person next to you and share what you read in a classified document. And that in and of itself is a problem. Removing documents, transcribing anything, all of this is, is obviously, is covered by that statute. So that defense isn't going to go very far. All right, real quick. I'm going to play Andrew McCabe. This guy's a bad actor, but even he surprises me here with his assessment of this case. Check this out. He, from his position, was certainly in a position to know that the substance of that material was classified and sending it to person one and person two over unauthorized systems, open email systems like AOL and Google, things like that. So that allegation alone imparts a great deal of intent. It's going to be hard for Mr. Bolton to argue that those transmissions were inadvertent or that he didn't know that he was mishandling classified or national defense information. All right, so Sam, that's Andrew McCabe. That's a very bad actor from the old FBI. I'll give you the last word here. Where do you think this goes? Well, I always get nervous when I agree with Andrew McKay, but, but I, I mean, I agree with him and so do you. But I would add just as A lawyer that, you know, your assessment of it earlier in your opening monologue was even more on the nose. Bolton acknowledges openly that what he's doing is wrong. And we lawyers, we call this mens rea. It's the consciousness of guilt and he expresses it and it's there. I mean it. Honestly. This couldn't be a better case to bring on a. On. On charges like these. Well, I'll tell you, it's like bittersweet justice when some of these people start to fall because they were so evil against President Trump. They had their own agenda, they were pushing themselves, they had self interest far above national interest and certainly above President Trump's interest. And so to me, I can only smile when. When something like this happens on a day like today. Thank you so much for coming on tonight. I know we called you a short notice, Sam, but it's always great to see you. Always good to be with you, Grant. Thank you, my friend. All right, now I want to turn to maybe one of the most astonishing ICE arrests yet. This is an illegal alien who happened to be a police officer with the Hanover Park Police Department, a suburb of Chicago. That's right. The illegal alien happen to be a police officer. We would never have known about this if it wasn't for Ben Berkwum and his fabulous reporting for Real America's voice. Here's Ben. Apparently this gentleman here, 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. Crazy. Crazy's an understatement. So he overstayed his visa by 10 years. 2015, it expired and somehow he gets a job as a cop. He says he loves America. I'm actually sure that the man probably does, but you can't have this going on. Ben, in his great work, he actually sat down and talked to this officer, or slash, illegal alien who overstayed his visa. So how long have you been a police officer? Since January 8th. January. Correct. I just finished the accounting. Okay. All right. Just to confirm though, too. So they hired you on. You had work authorization? Correct. And were you able to carry a firearm? No. So on duty you could carry a firearm. Instead of Illinois, you need a Ford and a CCW to carry a weapon of duty, but on duty you could. Correct. Wow. So you hear what he's saying. The police said on duty he could carry a firearm because he's not an American citizen or a permanent resident in the United States. The only two ways you're allowed to carry a firearm under The Constitution. Constitution. So a visa holder can't. So he has to check his firearm in his locker? I mean, what. How does somebody who overstays his visa even get hired? Well, I want to bring in now who is live in Chicago, Rav correspondent, the man who broke the story that everybody is following now. Ben Berkman is with us. Ben, it's always great to have you on. Hey, it's great to be with you, Grant. Yeah, pretty wild thing. You know, we had a crazy ride yesterday. 10 arrests including that one. But when, man, when we got him, I was like, this is nuts. This is absolutely insane. And it just makes you think how many more are not just in Illinois, but across America? All right, Ben, I know that, that many of Stinshiel's army are going to probably say I'm crazy, but part of me feels bad for the guy because I actually believe him when he tells you he loves America. But you can't do this. This isn't the way to do it. How do you let it go for 10 years? Am I totally off bas you agree with me, Ben, help me here. Yeah, yeah. No, and I agree. I mean, I look at this guy. He came over apparently when he was 15. You know, he, he, he says he loves America. I look, the, the people I blame in this are just like with the open borders. I blame the people that set the policies that allow this to happen. A police department that doesn't check that. Now he's saying he had work authorization. So then if that's true, who at USCIS gave him that work authorization? If his visa, if he had overstayed his visa, he was here illegally, how did he get work authorization? So that's question one. Secondarily, if he didn't have work authorization, how did he get that job? How did that police department not find out? And honestly, Grant, I believe that there is either willful ignorance or worse than that, there is corruption at a level where they don't care if they hire illegals in places like Illinois, in places like Massachusetts, and places like California, I honestly think they probably want to hire illegals. I mean, that's the sense you get. Illegals are almost special classes of citizens in these radical leftist cities and states. Ben, it's, it's a stunning story to say the least. I was watching your, your ex post on this, and you talked to ICE agents. I almost got the feeling that there were somewhat stunned about this as well. Let me play a clip from one of the ICE agents you talked to about this and then get your Response, Basically what you're saying is they can't control themselves, so you got to move me away from the situation. Well, no, I came up because this is. This was blocked off. I just wanted to let ICE know that we support them. All right. God bless ice. God bless. Look, that wasn't the right sound, but let's go to cut three guys, please. Thank you. Thank you. So how long have you been. Been a police officer? Since January 8th. January. Correct. They still cannot ignore the fact that he was. Or stained. That's a federal statute. So whether or not they came up or they missed it or whatever it is, I'm not blaming them. But it was missed. Right. So we need to do something, and we've confirmed that. So he's visa overstay. Correct. Wow, Ben, were they in shock by all this, too? Yeah. Well, look, these guys are battling enemies within our country, like Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson, who are openly attacking them. In fact, the mayor of Aurora, Illinois, yesterday sent out an email openly calling for insurrection, calling for violence in the streets and for attacking ICE officers and doxing ICE officers. So they're used to being attacked by these leftist politicians. But to see this, and, you know, it's tough. You could see it was tough for a lot of them. It's like, man, this guy wants to be a cop. He seems to be legitimate. You feel that sense of camaraderie, in a sense, because all these guys put their lives on the line every single day. Every cop does. But you also got that sense like, it's not right. I mean, the fact that he can't legally own a firearm in America yet we're going to give him a firearm, and he hasn't sworn allegiance to this nation yet. He's going to dictate to the citizens in his community what the Constitution is and how to follow it and follow the law. I mean, all of this stuff, none of it makes sense. So you could tell they were really disappointed, in particular in the law enforcement agency and really in just the state in general. But it begs the question, Grant, what I keep coming back to is, look, this guy may be a really nice guy. He may have done it for all the right reasons. It may have been the system that screwed him up. But how many people know this? If you're a jihadist and you know the laws of Illinois, why wouldn't you do the same thing? Or in California or in Massachusetts. We are setting. We're setting ourselves up for such a disaster in this nation. And that's where the fault needs to squarely lie at these departments and at these states that have enacted these insane laws that would allow this in the first place. It's a great point. And I would also put some culpability on this officer who was just arrested. He should have gotten this stuff a long time ago and he didn't. And when you sit on things, bad things happen. Ben, this was a, a, you know, you always got great reports. We always love having you on, but this, this one was an eye popper. Thank you, my friend, as always. Yeah, my pleasure. God bless you. Absolutely. And you know, this goes to the ICE agents. I tell you every day all they are doing or is, are enforcing the law. If this wasn't about enforcing the law, they wouldn't have arrested this guy. They would have said, hey, that's one of us, we'll go on down. But no, it's the law and that's what they do. They, they go arrest people who are breaking it. Now I want to turn to a guy who hates cops, and he made it clear he hates cops. In fact, this guy would rather support Hamas than police officers in New York. He'd rather arrest Bibi Netanyahu and President Trump than arrest Hamas leaders. I'm talking about the wacky communist, Mamdani, who's running for mayor of New York. Now, there's a big debate tonight. Cuomo Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa, the Republican. But this was Mamdani on Fox yesterday. But do you believe that Hamas should lay down their weapons and leave the leadership in Gaza? I believe that any future here in New York City is one that we have to make sure that's affordable for all. And as it pertains to Israel and Palestine, that we have to ensure that there is peace and that is the future that we have to fight for. But you won't say that Hamas should lay down their arms and give up leadership in Gaza. I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety and the fact that anything has to abide by international law. So again, this guy is a full on anti Semite. That is clear. He hates cops. All he wants to do is raise taxes on, quote, the wealthy to spend more money in a city that is already facing an 8.5 billion dollar deficit by 2029. That's New York City I want to bring in now, founder of Pinion Enterprises. Stand up, New Yorker, former candidate for the United States Senate in New York. Joe Pinion is with me. Joe, welcome to the program. Always good to be with you, my friend. Again. Strange times we're living in here. It sure is, Joe. This debate is huge tonight. Look, I. I despise Cuomo. I think Cuomo was a serial killer. But when he put all those Covid folks back into nursing homes and all this. You got Curtis Sliwa. I love Curtis Lewa, but I'm not convinced he can win. I want him to, but I'm not convinced he can win. How do you look at this race, this debate tonight? How important is it? Look, I think the reality is Curtis Lee is a great New Yorker, a man who has dedicated his life to the betterment of quality of life for the people that call New York home. I think that the voters of New York have to realize that this is bigger than Curtis Lewis. It is bigger than Andrew Cuomo. People have to figure out how to unite behind one person to ensure that a man who wants to arrest the prime Minister of Israel and somehow thinks that we should make rap songs about people that give money to Hamas. Hamas does not become the leader of a city of such great importance. And so that, to me, is hopefully what can begin to come out of this debate, that Andrew Cuomo, whether you hate him or love him, can begin to put a light on these atrocities. All right, tell me if I'm crazy here, Joe. So I grew up in and around New York City. I worked in New York City for a long time there on 9 11. I love this city, even though I've watched it become just a hellhole. I'm at the point, if Curtis Sliwa cannot win, I. I can't stand Cuomo. I don't think the guy's legit. I'd almost rather have Mom Donnie win just to show New Yorkers how bad things are going to get. Show the rest of the country how bad things are going to get. You want a guy like that? Well, we'll give you a guy like that. Watch your city go in the tank. I don't know. Am I maybe, like, the worst attitude to have on this? Look, I have heard this kind of rumination from some of my friends, and I followed the logic. In practice, though, that assumes that we get to watch Mamdani crash out and burn. The truth is that that is likely not what's going to happen. There is no political will on the New York City Council to prevent him from implementing many of the crazy ideas that he wants to bring into fruition. So it's not as if he's just going to become a figurehead, talking about dangerous Ideas. He is going to be the mayor of New York City implementing these ideas. My point is, though, that if they implement these ideas, New York City crashes. The rich people that drive that city, that employ people, they leave, they go to Texas. You're already seeing many of these investment banks moving to Texas and Florida. The city will collapse. Forget about Mamdani collapsing. The city will collapse. Do we use that as an example now? I would say we could use LA as an example, but that doesn't work with liberals either. Well, look, I think you can point to la, you can point to Chicago. People have seen this. I think, what is the cost of allowing New York City to implode in such a manner? Sure, it could be a shining example on a hill of what goes wrong when you place your hands in the trust of the next generation of Democratic socialists. But the history that is New York, that is in many ways embedded in what is happening here in our country. It is hard to recover from that. It is hard to turn that around. The decades, the centuries that it might take for New York to make such a full return from that, I think can't really be quantified. So, yes, I think in practice, America will not come to an end if Mamdani is mayor. But trying to rebuild New York into what we know it to be and what we love, I think could take many, many years that we simply don't have and the people can't afford. All right, real quick. I mean, I can't even believe I'm asking Joe Pinion if he would support Cuomo over Sliwa. But. But would you? Is that what you're recommending people to do? I mean, look, I'm not currently living in New York City, thank the good Lord. I think people have to search their hearts. Certainly I can say from my own family. I mean, my grandmother, she died at over 100 years on this earth, but I believe we probably would have had 14 more months for her if we didn't have the ridiculous lockdowns, if we didn't have these policies in the nursing homes in New York State. So I don't know what I would be doing if it came to me going into that voting booth. But I do think that people need to seriously ask themselves the question when they walk into that booth, is the bubble that I am filling in going to be the person that can win? And if on election day, if all the data says that person can't win, making yourself a feel good is not what's in the best interest of your family or the city. Well, Joe, I appreciate your insight, I really do. And I trust your judgment on things like this, which is why I bring you on the program. It's always great having you on. Thank you, my friend. Appreciate you, my friend. Talk to you. Absolutely. And so look, I want Curtis Leeway to win. That's why I want to win for New York. They have elections for a reason. Strange things can happen. Is he the underdog? Absolutely. But I'm still praying somehow Curtis Lewa pulls this out. All right, folks, just a quick note.

So two boys in Aloudon County, Virginia high school, a girl pretending to be a boy. They call them a transgender. I don't know if you call them a transgender boy or girl. I don't know. But she's a biological girl going into a boy's locker room. She starts videotaping the boys. And the boys say this is out of control. We don't want the girl in our locker room. Guess who gets suspended from school in Loudoun county, which happens to be ground zero for the transgender lunacy. The boys get suspended for not being tolerant. So the boys sue the school. Good news is judge says the boys can go back to school after being suspended. But they were also forced to post a $125,000 bond in case they lose the case so they could pay the defendants legal fees in this, the school district. This is insanity. Well, one of the fathers of the boys was on with Laura Ingram last night. It's slow and steady, but we are, we're trying to get into this fight and do the best we can. So we've set up some donation page and we're just hoping that we can get the community to stand behind us because it's, it's almost impossible to raise this money in the amount of time that they've given us. Well, miraculously they raised the money and I believe a lot of it had to do with Laura Ingram show the givesend Go platform that they have. They raised 125,000. So this case can now continue. This is the attorney for the boys who literally lays out what this case is all about. But look, the bottom line here is this is not Title 9. Title 9 is sexual harassment. We all know what sexual harassment is. You know, Loudoun county public schools had 159 Title IX complaints and they did zero on 159. Their own internal report found. Now they come here and find Title 9 violations against boys for merely expressing discomfort with a girl in the boys locker room. We know exactly why they did that. It's all politically motivated. Of course it is. And as I mentioned, Loudoun county is ground zero for all of this. What is driving this? I mean, the lack of common sense here is just outrageous. And it's happening all across the country. I do believe though, people are waking up to this. One reason they're waking up to this is because of groups like Moms for Liberty. I want to bring in now the co founder, Tina Deskovich of Moms for Liberty. Tina, it's great to have you on the program. Thank you. It's great to be with you, Tina. We hear stories like this. I mean, are you kidding me? You suspend the boys. How does this happen? And you know, are these types of stories commonplace? Yeah, we see these things happening all across the country and it happens because we don't pay attention to school board races. That's something Moms for Liberty puts a big focus on. Before I launched Moms for Liberty, I was a school board member myself from 2016 to 2020. And it was so hard to get people engaged in school board elections, understand school issues. And it's, it's really unfortunate because it's the largest part of most communities budgets. And so there's a lot of work still to be done in America to make sure people are awake, electing good people to these school boards so we can avoid these situations altogether. All right, let me play a clip from a recorded video that was inside that locker room when the boys were there, being videotaped by this girl. How that is even acceptable, I have no idea, but take a listen to this. All right. So Tina, they say it's uncomfortable. Bro, she's a female. Get out of Here, now, is that intolerant? I can only imagine if it was a female in there and there's a boy in the girls locker room, I think the girls would be entitled to say something like that. Actually, girls are not entitled these days to say something like that either. Look, I'm a mom of boys myself, and they absolutely would be uncomfortable with females in their locker room. And so my heart goes out to them. This is nonsense that's happening in America. And Moms for Liberty is ready to stand with these boys and all children across America, boys and girls that deserve to have privacy in safe spaces. All right, what do you tell parents out there? Did you expect to be in this position of leading Moms for Liberty? It's one of the top two or three of the groups of moms out there, the Mama bears, as we call them. Did you expect to be here? No, absolutely not. When we launched In January of 2021, I actually wrote a five year business plan that included in five years we would maybe cover the state of Florida. And here we are across the country now. We're in 48 states. We have 320 chapters that each cover a county. We have 130,000 active members. You know, another half a million or something on our mail list. And so I couldn't have imagined this in my wildest dreams. But it's very sad that it's needed. I would love to get to the point where Moms for Liberty is not needed to be watchdogs on the school boards because we elect good school board members and we have good people in office that want to protect children instead of putting them in hard's way. Well, Tina, it's great having you on the program. I appreciate all the work that you and Moms for Liberty does out there and I appreciate you coming on. Thank you. You, thank you for the time. Absolutely. So, folks, I want to talk about common sense. It's not just school boards, which Tina is correct. I mean, that's one of the most important positions when you talk about elected leaders that will directly affect how your children grow and prosper. But it's also at other levels. You have this woman out there. Her name is Betty Yee. She is running for California governor. This woman has no chance of winning the California governor seat when Gavin Newsom gives out and up. But the Olympics are coming to California. You want to hear what she has to say about all of this? Take a listen. Cut one, please. My question is whether you think they should compete in women's sport in the Olympics because it's coming to la, so it's relevant. I think transgender female athletes are women athletes and they should be able to compete. Really. I mean, no, they're not. They're not women athletes. They're men pretending to be women. Now that's California. What about Virginia? You've got basically the same situation there. Abigail Spanberger, she basically claims that women should be men, should be completing women's sports. But when she gets on the debate stage, she refuses to answer the question. Come three should transgender girls who are biological males be allowed to use girls bathrooms and play on girls sports teams? You have 60 seconds. I'm a mother of three daughters in Virginia public schools and nothing is more important to me than their safety. So answer Basically. The moderator asks again. Rolling it. An effort carried on continually by this administration. Once again, the question was should transgender girls who are biological males be allowed to use girls bathrooms and play on girls sports teams in K through 12? You have 15 seconds to clarify. In cases across Virginia, I think it's incumbent upon parents and educators and administrators in each local community to make decisions locally. All the folks makes your head spin. So these are important elections at every level. All right folks, listen to me. Democrats refuse to deal with Republicans over a standalone Obamacare provision to end the shutdown. We will talk about that next. And we are on Turning Point USA Watch, a great event in Oklahoma which we will bring to you live. That too is moments away. Stick with me.
