BUTLER: Where Are We One Year After The Assassination Attempt? | Episode 83

0:00Dan Bongino:Hey there, welcome to Vince. Here we go. On a Friday, Ice Ice Baby. Yes, yes. We've got to cover these raids on these marijuana farms in California. We have full-blown marijuana farms in California getting raided by ICE, and rightfully so, because it turns out there's a ton of illegals working there, including child labor. What are we even doing? Of course, what we're doing now is we're raiding them, rightfully so. Glad we're doing that. So I've got the updates on that, the way the left is trying to defend all of it and so much more. Also, Selena Zito is going to be with us today. She's written a great new book.

0:34Dan Bongino:The title of it is Butler. Looking back now, just about a year ago on that attack on Butler, Pennsylvania, the one, you know, the attempt on the president's life was crazy. And she's here with us today. This program is brought to you by Blackout Coffee, the official coffee of all of us here at Silverlock. Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash Vince.

Yeah, this raid today we're about to get into, it's like the most obvious thing in the world. No, you shouldn't have child labor on your marijuana farm in California.

1:14Dan Bongino:No. And no, you should not have illegals all over the place. And yes, they should be deported. And no, you should not be rioting. And no, you should not be shooting at federal law enforcement. And yet that's exactly what happened in the last 24 hours. But these, I love seeing workplace enforcement. Don't you? I've got the details coming up. This program is brought to you by Bone Charge Infrared Sauna Blanket and Red Light Face Mask. We love these products here in my house. Can't recommend them enough. I like the sauna blanket because it helps in a big way. It's a sauna. Let's be honest. It's a sauna.

2:48Dan Bongino:Okay, we've got a raid going on. We have had these ice raids going on in California, and rightfully so on these marijuana grow facilities. And basically, they've just got a ton of illegals working there. And the name of the employer is Glasshouse, apparently. And they've been accused of a lot of things through the years. Jennifer Van Laar over at Red State has just a wonderful thread on this subject today. And she points out that this ICE raid that was taking place again on Thursday was on a place that is out of control. ICE and Border Patrol had a judicial warrant for Glasshouse. This is a top cannabis grower in the state of California, in the entire United States.

3:34Dan Bongino:they've been harboring illegal aliens according to the warrant this employer the the actual farm has been sued over and over for labor law violations you've got the socialist party as well as union del barrio that was implicated in those riots in june they're involved in getting all of the rioters to this farm location so this these are the same rioters that we've seen these are the same guys who are funded by the left. This is all gigantic astroturf, riot, insurrection garbage. That payment structure, that organization, the federal government has been investigating all of this. I hope they move on these guys quick because they keep causing all this destruction and threatening the lives of these ICE agents.

4:21Dan Bongino:Lots of groups involved. 805 UndocuFund, 805 Immigrant Coalition, MyCob. I mean, Jennifer is doing really great work on reporting all of this. They find a bunch of illegal alien kids there doing labor on the marijuana farm. And also a former Clinton administration staffer and an assemblyman called Hector de la Torre is also on the board of this marijuana farm in California. So that leads us to the images that we're getting overnight. Take a look at cut two. Here's the raid. This is the raid on the farm. People being taken into custody, running off, tear gas being fired at the rioters. Here we go.

5:11Dan Bongino:Yeah, people are running away from all this tear gas being fired. This is video footage from KTLA 5, local broadcaster. people running off and it says children comma protesters running from tear gas during immigration raid of course the way this video was set up was to try and make it as sympathetic as possible to the situation here for the illegals who were involved oh how sad how sad that there's an immigration raid going on how sad that there's workplace enforcement going on no actually what's sad is that this has been allowed to continue what's sad is that you have illegal child labor going on at a marijuana farm in California.

5:53Dan Bongino:What's sad is that this is a total violation of our sovereignty and our country has aided and abetted this no more. So if you were looking for mass deportation raids, there you go. You've got an example of one, of course, taking place in California. This is a sanctuary state. They don't want to do this. They're trying to stop this from being done. And they're threatening law enforcement in the process. Take a look here. Cut one. One of the rioters, one of the insurrectionists taking a gun and firing it randomly in the direction of federal law enforcement. Look at this. Take a look at this video right here.

6:27It appears a protester fired some kind of gun at federal agents. This happened this afternoon. It was a really chaotic scene at the time. A lot of smoke was being launched at the protesters. And again, it appears a protester fired back with that weapon. It looks like he fired at least a couple of times. we have not heard about any agents being hurt.

6:48Dan Bongino:Some kind of gun. It's a handgun. That's what it is. It looks like it's not a Nerf gun. What is he firing? It was a handgun. He's firing a handgun in the direction of federal law enforcement. The feds are looking for that guy. Unfortunately, the photos and stuff that they've been sharing, that video, it's all been super grainy, hard to identify him. But, man, I hope they can track that guy down and throw him on his face. That's outrageous that that's happening. And that's happening right here in the United States. That's what the Democrats have been rooting on. That particular thing where ICE agents are shot at by illegal aliens, presumably, or just, you know, run-of-the-mill lefties.

7:27Dan Bongino:That's what these guys have been rooting on. That's what Hakeem Jeffries has been rooting on and Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman and Tampon Tim Walls and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Governor Gavin Newsom. the list goes on and on and on saying oh we got to unmask ice we got ice is the real enemy they're the nazis and now these guys are taking shots at them that's just the latest incident where that's occurred in the last week we've seen now three attacks on ice that makes the third one three times that firearms were used against ice agents just trying to do their jobs just trying to do their jobs the left rooting it on the rest of us normal people condemning it normal people saying And this is outrageous.

8:05Dan Bongino:It's not shocking because of what the left has created, but it is appalling that it's happening in the United States of America. We've got to put an end to it. So you get the shots fired in this situation. You also get a lot of left wing lies about what exactly is even going down at this facility. Gavin Newsom, speaking of greasy Gavin, Gavin Newsom is claiming that, oh, these kids were running. Kids, kids are running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields, says Gavin Newsom. Trump calls me new scum, but he's the real scum. Now, I want to reiterate what's going on here.

8:48Dan Bongino:Around a dozen of the children who were found at this facility were here in the country illegally and are believed to be being subjected to child labor here in the United States. Everything about this is completely illegal. Border Patrol Commissioner Rodney Scott offered this update overnight about those kids and about how much Gavin Newsom is lying to you. Take a look. Breaking news, the 10 juveniles that were found at this marijuana facility, all illegal aliens, eight of them unaccompanied. It's now under investigation for child labor violations. This is Newsom's California. So Gavin Newsom stepping on a huge rake here saying, oh, look at these poor children.

9:33Dan Bongino:Yeah, they're poor because of what abuses you've allowed to be done to them in your state of California. That's why they were there is because they were being used in that way. So that that's a great update. I love how snappy. Don't you love how fast these Trump administration officials are? border patrol commissioner rodney scott leaping all over this instantly going no no this is child labor you ghoul gavin newsom so there's that's the update on the kids and what they're doing there that's out of control also you get democrats who are claiming that this was nothing but this is that these fields were being used to grow food for americans and oh president trump said he was just going to go after the violent criminals and now he's going after our food supply what What?

10:18Dan Bongino:This is here's Congressman Jimmy Gomez posting to X overnight. How many MS-13 gang members are waking up at 3 a.m. to pick strawberries? Oh, yeah. Zero, he says. Zero. They're picking strawberries. Trump said he'd go after the bad hombres, but he's targeting the immigrant farm workers who feed America. Either he lied or he can't tell the difference. Now, how many lies do you see in this particular post or do you hear in this particular post? if you're listening to the audio podcast right now. How many lies can we count here? It's crazy. First of all, they're not picking strawberries. This is a massive marijuana grow operation.

10:59Dan Bongino:That's what this is. So there's no strawberry picking on going on. The president never said he wasn't going to deport illegal alien farm workers. In fact, he said he was going to deport everybody. He said mass deportations. Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't that what the president said? The president said he would deport everyone who was here illegally. The biggest mass deportation operation in American history. It wasn't limited to any category of illegal alien, MS-13, bad hombres or otherwise. You're here illegally. You go. There you go. What else do we have? Oh, he lied or he can't tell the difference, says Jimmy Gomez, this goofball congressman from Los Angeles.

11:43Dan Bongino:No, you're the one who's lying. Not a strawberry operation. It's a marijuana grow. So there you go. Yeah. And I see the chat pointing out something here that is worth dwelling on. It is true that in the state of California, they say it's legal to have this operation, this marijuana, these marijuana fields, it's totally legal. And in fact, the media today is giving us the totally legal. That's not true under federal law. That continues to be, there's a discordance between federal law and state law. And wherever you are on this issue of marijuana and whether or not it should be legal in the United States, it's just a plain fact that the federal government still considers it illegal and that the state governments are kind of making it up as they go along.

12:23Dan Bongino:And by and large, the feds have just kind of turned a blind eye to it. They're just like, OK, whatever. People like pot. We're going to look the other way. There's been a lot of that. But here, regardless, I don't even care about that issue right now. All I care about is these are illegal aliens. They've got illegal child labor and the left is straight up lying that this is a part of our food supply. It has nothing to do with food. I don't know. When was the last time you were eating pot leaves? When was the last time you did a little tossed salad of pot? You got to get that, the wacky tabacchi into a salad.

12:52Dan Bongino:Nobody's doing that. That's so crazy. It's not our food supply. These aren't strawberries. So that's Jimmy Gomez. He's not alone. He's not alone. We got another one who else oh ruben gallego from arizona pulled the same stunt and this is happening all over the place this morning there you go uh ruben gallego saying instead of prioritizing dangerous criminals trump is targeting families that have been here for years picking our food the public outcry and protests are occurring because the american public knows this is wrong ruben gallego is lying to you. Lying to you. California does have some good strawberries, though.

13:39Dan Bongino:They're not picking strawberries here. This is all weed. What does that shirt say, by the way? Hold up. Hold up. Let me throw this to a full screen for you. I got to see. This is funny. I just realized what this lady's shirt says. Take a look at this. Let me see. her shirt says gayness is next to godliness do you see this am i getting am i getting all of this correct is that an illegal alien wearing a covid mask with dyed purple hair with a shirt that says gayness is next to godliness this oh my this lady is straight out of left-wing lunatic central casting this yes who said that thobmeyer says she needs to go to church yeah i completely agree get to church holy cow clearly she's never read the bible what else we have the chat's going wild over this she's she's no lady says 20 sunflower 73 yeah yeah actually i'm sorry yeah maybe i'm giving him too much credit maybe that's a dude maybe We could be dealing with a transgender left wing dyed hair, COVID mask, fat belly showing gayness is next to godliness, illegal alien.

15:09Dan Bongino:Well, anyway, that's what's going on at this bizarro marijuana operation. If it wasn't for the terrorists taking shots at ICE, this would be fall over on your side funny. But but at least that's that's a little bit of comedy in the midst of all of this. Yeah. So these Democrats, they're they're still sticking with these lines that that it's just a strawberry operation. It's just for food when it's no such thing. And we're going after these guys appropriately. So there was a really important update this morning on the kids, you know, the foreign labor that's being used at this operation. we do have tom holman tom holman was on the fox news channel this morning and he was asked about the kids and he gave a really important piece of data you remember the 300 000 kids who are missing you know the 300 000 kids are missing all across the country imported by the biden administration and just completely lost by the biden people intentionally so they didn't care they were trafficking human beings they were trafficking children many of whom have been sexually exploited who've been exploited for labor.

16:13Dan Bongino:Oh, like at the marijuana operation that just got busted. Here's Tom Holman this morning announcing, we've found 10 ,000 of these missing children so far. Have you heard that anywhere? 10 ,000 children have been found. Take a look. Here's Tom Holman this morning. But Tom, it strikes me unbelievable that the Democrats are not on board. When you look at this raid, These are there were 10 juveniles that were illegally brought across the border. You and I covered this under the Biden administration. I was down in Texas. We encountered a 8, 10 year old, 12 year olds coming across with just a name and an address and a phone number on their necks.

16:56Dan Bongino:The cartel ruthlessly sending them across. And yet now we know that 10 of them, eight of which were unaccompanied minors working illegally in a marijuana farm. and your agents go in and rescue them, essentially, and yet there is violent resistance to that. Does that upset you? It certainly upsets me. And like I said, the work men and women of ICE are doing is incredible. Look, we're looking for over 300 ,000 missing children. We've already found 10 ,000. Have you heard that anywhere? No, the media is simply not covering it. And look, this should be a nonpartisan issue. arresting public safety threats and national security threats everybody be on the same page on that yeah rescuing children yeah i mean it should be a non-partisan issue every they should be completely non-partisan issues totally right about that they save 10 000 kids they have found and saved 10 000 children that i'll take that i'll take that you know it's these kids these kids were brought here illegally smuggled in illegally but it's not that it's not the fault of a little child that they were put in that situation.

18:03Dan Bongino:Those kids are being exploited. They're having their lives utterly destroyed. And the Trump administration has now rescued 10 ,000 of them. 10 ,000 of them. Remember, RFK Jr. talked about this because a lot of this was done under HHS and the refugee program that the Biden people were running. They were trafficking people in. RFK Jr. said this is the biggest human trafficking operation ever. And it was being paid for by taxpayers against your will. by the way, against my will. It's vile what happened. And it breaks your heart completely to think what's happening to those kids. And so Tom Holman, who I like, somebody told me recently that they're like, Tom Holman, they didn't, they don't like how he sounds, you know, that is like, it sounds like he's got marbles in his mouth.

18:51Dan Bongino:I was like, no, no, no, stop, stop. You know what I love about Holman? I'm wearing all my shirt today. I got Tom Holman on my shirt, ice, ice, baby. I go, Tom Holman, the difference between him and so many other people in Washington, Tom Holman sounds totally authentic. Everything about him sounds completely authentic. Like that guy's not putting on airs. He's totally legit. Everything. He's just like, kind of like a hard scrabble blue collar dude. Who's like, I hate when kids are exploited. I, I hate our borders being open. I want my sovereignty. I'm all in on Holman. I love the whole presentation.

19:21Dan Bongino:I love the whole thing. And the most important thing I love is that he's actually doing the work, You know, he did a great job in the first place for Trump originally. And then President Trump brought him back and said, I need you to run the show, baby. And when when he came in as the borders are and in the early days when the president said that Christy Noem was going to be the DHS secretary, I was a little worried about that. Honestly, at the top, I was like, Christy Noem didn't. Wasn't she kind of weak on the trans stuff in South Dakota? She didn't have this like sterling record as governor that made me really excited about her.

19:54Dan Bongino:so I was concerned that she wasn't going to be dynamite on the border but we had I had I had Tom Holman on my show I forget which show we talked to uh this one or my old my old local radio show in DC and I asked him about this and he said look we're going to be working arm in arm the two of us are going to be working together really tightly on this he has a lot of faith in Christy Nome and that faith has proven accurate I mean it's it's worked it's worked um it doesn't mean we ever sit back and we we become we rest easy that everybody's doing the right thing and we just stop paying attention we should but i gotta say i love what tom homan's doing and whatever concern i had about christy noem it's completely evaporated i'm i'm totally thrilled with the job that she's done as dhs secretary now and so these guys are they've got a lot going on they want to get these mass deportations up even more but remember in the past week we had this whole amnesty conversation, we have had it because, you know, you and I are paying attention as the was the agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, who keeps on bringing up this idea.

20:56Dan Bongino:Well, maybe with the farms, we shouldn't go after the people who are working illegally on the farms and we're going to have to figure out a different system or maybe we'll eventually get to them. We won't prioritize them, you know. And so I've been very concerned about that. That that's that I'm concerned about. I'm concerned about Brooke Rollins right now and what she's saying and what the president has said as a result but if you were wondering are they going to go after the farms are they going to treat these as places that deserve amnesty that marijuana farm raid is proof yes there's going to be some farm activity yes they're going to go after some of these work sites and yes they're going to deport illegals that they take into custody so that's i think this is all encouraging what i'm looking at right now yeah and silver surfer 41 says christy is the best looking grandma in the world.

21:42Dan Bongino:So she has that gone for her too. Congrats, Christina. Grandma. It's true. It's true. All right. I got a lot more coming up for you before we get there.

Apparently, we had a hot mic moment yesterday at the beginning of our show. For those of you who don't watch the rumble stream, there's a countdown when we start the rumble stream.

23:22Dan Bongino:It goes for about 30 seconds. And, you know, it's a cool little feature because it builds anticipation. You're like, oh, man, it's coming. The show's coming. But what's supposed to happen is my microphone is not supposed to be on. but I was talking to the guys yesterday and if you go back to yesterday's program and check it out you can hear me tell the story but I'll reiterate it here we had a lightning storm in northern Virginia just a few days ago and the lightning was striking like hundreds of feet from my house just hundreds of feet away that you know where the lightning hits and then the sound hits at the same moment you know it's close you know no counting down the seconds to figure out how far that lightning strike was it was right outside the house and Major was nervous about it Of course, Major found a corner and he was lying down and the dogs get all worked up.

24:08Dan Bongino:But my other dog, Raina, she's a rescue. She was super abused before we got a hold of her. So she's got all sorts of trauma. That poor dog, the lightning strikes. She's like instantly not to embarrass her. Don't tell her I said this. She instantly pooped herself right in the middle of the kitchen. I couldn't even believe what was going on. And normally if your dog goes to the bathroom in the house, like, hey, don't do that. You want to like stop them from doing it? I just felt so bad for it. We cleaned it up and I held that dog. This dog is so nervous all the time that she, she's hard to pet. But after the lightning storm was going on, she pinned herself to my body and she was vibrating like a cell phone.

24:48Dan Bongino:Just the whole, just the whole thunderstorm shaking, but she pinned herself to me and it was really sweet. And we just, we wrote it out together. We were thunder buddies. We wrote it out together, but man, that poor dog. Anyway, that was on the hot mic. Yes. Mic safety. Lone Behold reminds me, treat every mic like a hot mic. Yes, the guys keep telling me. But anyway, let's take a look here. Oh, here's a good story. You want a fun story? This one's fun. Pam Bondi, as critical as I've been of her this week about the Jeffrey Epstein stuff, I'm not, as you know, I'm not in any way enthused about that stupid one and a half page memo we got last week that did not settle me down about Jeffrey Epstein.

25:27Dan Bongino:It only made me more suspicious and curious about what the government's up to here. And I'm pretty I'm basically all in on this idea that Epstein was pretty obviously a part of some sort of intel operation and everyone's trying to make it go away so that we stop focusing on it. But. That said, Pam Bondi is doing something good this week. That's that's annoying all of the right people. They're firing a ton of people at the United States Department of Justice and in the FBI. All due credit to what's going on at the FBI. These guys have fired hundreds of people. They have forced out hundreds of people out of that deeply corrupt agency.

26:04Dan Bongino:And that's just such great news. But one of the people that was just fired from the Justice Department did an interview with CBS to whine about the fact that she was fired. I want you to take a look here. This is Pam Bondi just fired another one of these January 6th tyrants. And here she goes rushing to CBS to complain about it. Here it is. Cut for it. Look. We're driving straight toward an abyss. What do you mean? The rules don't exist anymore. The laws don't seem to exist anymore. Hartman is the fourth person fired since early June who helped work the largest prosecution in American history.

26:41Dan Bongino:The prosecution of Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol and beat police officers January 6th. But Hartman's case is different. She wasn't a prosecutor or an FBI agent. She was a public relations administrator, sending out her boss's news releases and helping with the content for a website and database of January 6 cases, which the Trump administration has taken offline. There used to be a line, used to be a very distinct separation between the White House and the Department of Justice because one should not interfere with the work of the other. You think that line's gone? That line is very definitely gone.

27:22Oh, OK.

27:23Dan Bongino:For those of you who've kept track of the Constitution at any point in your life, correct me if I'm wrong. The United States Department of Justice is a part of the executive branch, right? The Justice Department does report to the president of the United States, correct? This whole thing, she's like, oh, no, no, it is a completely separate branch of government. The president should have no influence whatsoever. The White House should have no influence whatsoever over the United States Department of Justice. What in the world is this chick talking about? So giving that assessment confirms for me that she should be nowhere near the Department of Justice.
