Joseph Bolanos, a political independent who did not enter the Capitol on January 6, had his and his mother's apartments raided by the FBI's Anti-Terrorism Task Force. Despite Bolanos cooperating and providing his videos to agents, ten tactically dressed soldiers with automatic rifles stormed his home at 6:00 a.m. The raid was reportedly based on a single anonymous tip from someone who claimed to have overheard Bolanos bragging about being in Washington.
Dinesh D'Souza discusses how the FBI convinced a judge to issue a search warrant for Joseph Bolanos based on a single anonymous phone call. The hosts argue that this represents a move toward tyrannical government, where "bragging and boasting" about attending a political rally is sufficient grounds for an armed raid. They warn that the system is being weaponized to encourage neighbors and family members to report one another for "radical" behavior.
