BORTAC

There was a protest that spontaneously formed.

and a BORTAC agent that's a border patrol tactical where like Greg Bovino's personal goon squad kind of followed him around in LA and Chicago and in Minneapolis.

One of them put his 40 millimeter launcher directly to my cheek and pulled the trigger and shot me point blank with a pepper ball, which is a little plastic projectile full of pepper spray.

It fractured the bone in my cheek.

yeah.

Journalist Mac Granger wrote on his substack that early in the morning on October 5th, at least 50 U.S. Border Patrol agents, including the agent's militarized tactical unit BORTEC, which sounds like rat poison, raided the resistant camp.

Doesn't it? Doesn't BORTEC sound like fucking rat

poison? BORTEC.

I think I'd rather hang out with rat poison.

Question we heard in a movie, very important.

Yeah

... preview of things to come when he sent the BORTAC teams down last November in front of Dodger Stadium.

These are the Border Patrol tactical units, the Apache helicopters.

He sent down Department of Justice, uh, observers so that he could file a lawsuit.

So Border Patrol has a very strong presence, so now we're in the, you know, southwestern region of the US.

As we know, there's a pretty porous border there, a lot of drugs coming across, and had an opportunity to work with the Border Patrol's special operations unit called BORTAC.

Um, and that was my first taste, too, after having been a firefighter, of sort of s- protecting and serving those who serve and protect.

So we got to work with, with BORTAC and help them to improve their fitness as they would go out on missions that would last 24, 48, sometimes even longer hours, where they're just kind of sitting in the desert, and then they'd have to immediately get up and run and do those tactical-type things.

Uh, but also worked with some elite sport athletes, uh, some football players, basketball players, baseball players, and some others.

And so I did that for 10 years.

Federalizing 4,000 National Guards, sending 700 active duty Marines, not overseas, but to the second largest city in America.

To putting BORTAC teams out there in front of Dodger Stadium the morning of the election to chill free expression and free speech.

justice folks to guarantee or at least show that they found malfeasance as it relates to what happened at the voting booths to put out the same day of the election saying it was rigged.

Donald Trump will stop at nothing to try to get our voting rolls.

Uh, though I mean, this may be mine, so maybe it's another version.

Um, it goes back to my mayor days actually.

Um, the, um, and, but all those congressional races are obviously just to me, countries um there will not be a fair and free election in 2028 unless um we take back the house of representatives period full stop i don't i i've never been more certain of anything there will not be a fair and free election in the united states of america and i say this at the 250th anniversary of the founding fathers unless we take back the house that is not hyperbole And I have too many receipts and too many scars to back up that assertion that at the time sounded like hyperbole, federalizing 4,000 National Guards, sending 700 active duty Marines, not overseas, but to the second largest city in America, to putting BORTAC teams out there in front of Dodger Stadium the morning of the election.

folks to guarantee or at least show that they found malfeasance as it relates to what happened at the voting booths to put out the same day of the election saying it was rigged.

these cell extraction teams from the Bureau of Prisons, right? So these are the people who, when there are prison riots.

But then he also sent in BORTAC, which is like the paramilitary force of border control.

And these are the youngsters who respond to the George Floyd protests.

you know, pretty violently, but also started this trend of not wearing name tags and masking their faces.

For sure.

When it happened in Uvalde specifically, the actual after action that I was following up on, first of all, the guys that ended up doing the interdiction of this individual were BORTAC, the Border Patrol elite sort of like top tier SWAT unit.

And I lived next to a BORTAC guy and I bought a house from a BORTAC guy.

And so I knew people in BORTAC.

I know what kind of studs they are and they are legit studs.

And they went in and did what you think men would do.
