The Most Important Show I’ve Done in a While ~ Ep. 1304 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode, I address the bold decision by President Trump yesterday which could change the election. I also address stunning new data about the real risks, or lack thereof, to teachers from children returning to school. I also address Joe Biden’s devastating plan for the suburbs.
Yep, I know, we're still behind by three episodes here.  You do not know how tempting it is for me to skip ahead and get caught up!  However, that wouldn't be a good thing, especially if any of us miss an episode that could contain valuable information.  And, from what I've learned, there is something for everyone in every episode.  That is kind of how I make my decisions on what parts to write about.  Were you aware of that?  If you have been following this blog, there is no doubt in my mind that you know that.  And you would know that there may be something in Dan's show that means more to you than to me, and vice versa.

With that being said, even after you read my posts, you should watch the whole show if you haven't already.  Heck, maybe it is even better to read what I'm thinking after you watch the whole show, whether you agree or not with what I take away from the episode.  As you probably know by now, Dan has a lot of information packed into each show, and they are broken up into segments that are easy to get to, should you have a link.  What I'm going to try doing from this point on, is give you the links to the segments that I discuss in this blog.  I know how to do that, it's really easy.  And it is even easier for you to click on the link that I provide and go right to that segment or point that I want to emphasize.  Sound cool?  There is only one thing, though, the video will continue to play from the starting point; there's no end point.  You get what I'm saying, right?  You just may watch much more of the episode (maybe again) than you had planned.  That's actually a good thing.

In this episode, there are several blocks that I want emphasize, but the big one is right at the beginning, regarding the three-year old girl that was shot.  Oh, which one?  Dan will tell you how he does a search, and gets multiple results of three year olds that have been shot.  That's right.  And then, the gangland-style shooting in broad daylight in Chicago.  And people (advisors?) were telling the President that he shouldn't send in Federal agents in to help clean up the messes that mayors and local governments have created, all on their own.  The erroneous advice is based on the "Pottery barn theory," which is, "you break it, you own it."  The trouble is, it doesn't apply here, as the cities are already broken.

Now, there's much more, really.  And this segment may be the key takeaway.  If you live in the suburbs and you are a wealthy liberal, here is what is coming your way.  Pay close attention.  What Joe Biden has planned for you may not be for your benefit.

I am really praying that you have seen this complete episode, beginning to end, or that you will.  It truly is an important show.

VIDEO: When the government knows where the guns are


Yes, people that care about our Constitutional rights, especially the 2nd Amendment, need to see this segment with Judge Andrew Napolitano. This will probably be news that many people have not heard about. You may want to know about this. The government wants to know who the gun owners are, and where they live, which would make it awfully easy to try to grab our guns.

When the government knows where the guns are

It probably can not be a good idea for the government to have the registration data which includes name and addresses of gun owners. This could do irreparable harm to our 2nd Amendment rights. Judge Napolitano explains in this segment how present government actions may be violating the law.

Agents: Gun-smuggling suspect Hezbollah sympathizer ~ By Grant Rogers

On March 26 and May 8 authorities searched shipping containers connected to a company called Herz Enterprises, finding 152 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo hidden inside shipments of Bobcat skid loaders.

The hearing shed new light on the DHS investigation into the family, revealing that Ali Herz reportedly confessed after his arrest Tuesday to organizing two shipments of guns to Lebanon in 2014 and another in 2015.

Special agent Daniel Tigges testified that Herz said in an interview that he expected after the third shipment that the group would have netted $380,000 from the smuggling operation.

Tigges said Herz claimed he took half the profits and split the rest with his son, Adam, and brother, Bassem.

"He admitted that he knew it was wrong to ship guns out of the country," he said.
From the Time 2 Escape Editor

While this story covers the who (the four that were arrested), and the where (it happened right here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa), it doesn't cover the "why" or the "what," maybe for good reason. From this story, we only know that many guns and large quantities of ammo were being illegally shipped to Lebanon. We don't know if it was just for profit on the part of the Herz family and others. We also haven't been told here what the ultimate use of the weapons and ammunition could be, and who the ultimate buyers are. It's possible that the Federal agents are keeping that information from the press... or maybe, they don't know, but I really doubt that.

Even if the four that were arrested last week in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, were shipping the weapons and ammunition to Lebanon only because they love all the money they're going to make (they thought, until they got caught), is it still possible that they knew that the weapons would end up in the hands of Hezbollah terrorists? It is surprising to me, actually, that we haven't yet heard of any charges for aiding the enemy. Just sayin'...

Agents: Gun-smuggling suspect Hezbollah sympathizer
By Grant Rogers, The Des Moines Register

May 15, 2015, 10:39 p.m. EDT

From USATODAYcom

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — The eldest of four Cedar Rapids family members accused of smuggling firearms into Lebanon is a Hezbollah sympathizer who met with reported members of the terrorist group during a trip abroad, federal agents testified Friday.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Murphy called six witnesses to paint Ali Afif Al Herz as loyal to the Lebanese-based Shiite militant and political organization. The United States has classified Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.

Murphy intended the testimony from agents with the Department of Homeland Security and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to persuade Chief Magistrate Judge Jon Scoles to keep Herz, 50, in county jail while awaiting trial on charges that he and three other family members tried to smuggle hundreds of guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition into Lebanon, hiding it in storage containers.

Clockwise from top left, Adam Ben Ali Al Herz, 22; Ali Afif Al Herz, 50; Sarah Majid Zeaiter, 24 ; and Bassem Afif Herz, 29.

Defense lawyer Anne Laverty accused Murphy of using "distraction and fear tactics" with no supporting evidence that ties Herz to any terrorist group. Herz came to the United States in 1984 for college and gave up on religion after watching decades of strife in Lebanon and the Middle East, she said.

Gun Parts Store Owner Claims ATF Tried to Make a Secret Deal for the Names of His Customers

The ATF “is conducting a lawful criminal investigation of the illegal manufacture, distribution, sale, and possession of AR-15 variant lower receivers, which are considered firearms under the Firearms Control Act,” the federal agency said in its ex parte application.

The federal agency in its application referred to the receivers in question as “firearms,” a designation Karras claims is outright false.

“It’s not a firearm,” he said on Real News. “The ATF knows the information that they put in their determination letter is false. It’s incorrect. It’s based on fiction. It’s a fantasy. They already know that.”
Because I am not an attorney, I won't try to tell you if the gun parts store CEO, Dimitri Karras, is correct or not. The ATF was saying a certain gun part that the store was selling violated Federal law. That is part of this case that is in question. But the biggest question is whether or not the ATF really needed to carry out a raid on the store locations with guns drawn, and then confiscated not just the gun parts, but all of the store's computers, which of course, had the customer information on them.

This story is being brought to you here because of the highly questionable motives and tactics of this federal agency, known as the ATF.  Below, you will see a video of an interview segment on Fox News Network's "Real Story," with guest host Jenna Lee filling in for Gretchen Carlson.

Please note:  To see the following video, you must be logged in to Facebook.



There was also an interview of Dimitri Karras on TheBlazeTV's Real News (a coincidence?) with Buck Sexton. But, for some reason, TheBlazeTV video embed code isn't working, so here is the link to it.

By now, I am sure, you probably got the gist. Not only is the U.S. government crossing the line when it comes to the 2nd Amendment, they are also willing to assault the 4th Amendment. What happened to Dimitri Karras can happen to any of us. Keep that in mind. But, don't be afraid. You are not alone. We surround you. Just sayin'...

Gun Parts Store Owner Claims ATF Tried to Make a Secret Deal for the Names of His Customers
By Becket Adams

March 19, 2014 ~ 12:25pm

On TheBlaze.com

The CEO of a gun parts store in California on Monday accused the ATF of trying to obtain the names of nearly 5,000 of his customers by striking a secret deal with him.

Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives “basically said, ‘Listen, we know you’re a legitimate business. We know you’re doing everything fine. Hand over the list of names, hand over this particular product that we have now deemed to be a firearm and everything’s going to be fine. Nobody will know about it. It will be swept under the rug,’” Ares Armor owner Dimitrios Karras said.

Karras, whose store was raided over the weekend by federal agents, made the claim during an interview on TheBlaze TV’s Real News.

“‘Nobody’s going to know that you handed over these names.’”

Washington drops hammer on state gun plan

"As you may know, federal law … supersedes the act" Posted: July 21, 2009 9:14 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily Federal gun regulators have written to gun dealers around Tennessee, dropping the hammer on a new state law that exempts weapons made, sold and used inside the state from interstate regulations. The letter, dated just days ago, was distributed to holders of Federal Firearms Licenses. In it, Carson W. Carroll, the assistant director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told dealers the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act, adopted this year, "purports to exempt personal firearms, firearms accessories, and ammunition manufactured in the state, and which remain in the state, from most federal firearms laws and regulations." The exemption is not right, the federal agency letter contends. "As you may know, federal law requires a license to engage in the business of manufacturing firearms or ammunition, or to deal in firearms, even if the firearms or ammunition remain with the same state," the letter said. "All firearms manufactured by a licensee must be properly marked. Additionally, each licensee must record the type, model, caliber or gauge, and serial number of each firearm manufactured or otherwise acquired, and the date such manufacture or other acquisition was made. "These, as well as other federal requirements and prohibitions, apply whether or not the firearms or ammunition have crossed state lines," the letter said. [CONTINUE READING]
