Dan Bongino Fires Back at Gavin Newsom: \u201cWe Don\u2019t Answer to You!\u201d\u2014Federal Law Enforcement\u2019s Bold Stand Amid California Crime Crisis
In a dramatic turn of events that has sent shockwaves across political and law enforcement circles, conservative commentator and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino delivered a fiery rebuke to California Governor Gavin Newsom, declaring, \u201cWe don\u2019t answer to you!\u201d The exchange, which unfolded during a televised interview, has quickly become emblematic of the growing tensions between federal authorities and state leadership over surging violent crime in America\u2019s largest cities.<\/p>\n
The Setting: Federal Intervention Amid Rising Crime
The discussion began with Bongino addressing the cooperation\u2014or lack thereof\u2014between local law enforcement agencies and federal bureaus. \u201cSome of the locals look like they\u2019re going to cooperate with the bureau,\u201d the interviewer noted, setting the stage for Bongino\u2019s response.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, that\u2019s great. We appreciate cooperation, and that\u2019s fantastic,\u201d Bongino replied. \u201cYou\u2019re always going to get a better result when you\u2019ve got a willing partner. However, we don\u2019t work for the locals. We work for the American people. It\u2019s the FBI. We\u2019re not the local police department. They all do wonderful work. I was a local police officer, but we\u2019re the FBI, and we work for the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bongino\u2019s words underscored a critical distinction: while collaboration with local agencies is valued, federal law enforcement ultimately answers to a higher authority\u2014the American people and the federal government.<\/p>\n

Inside the Federal Crime Crackdown
Bongino went on to reveal the inner workings of a sweeping federal operation targeting violent crime in major cities like San Francisco and Chicago. He described how, early in his tenure, the President made it clear that there would be \u201czero tolerance for violent crime.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe drives around Washington, D.C., on these off-the-record movements. He sees homelessness, crime. He can\u2019t stand it. He says, \u2018What do we got to do to fix this?\u2019 And we basically lay out a bunch of things, and his answer is very simple. President\u2019s like, \u2018Go get them, boys. Go get them.\u2019 That was it. Like, you do what you have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bongino and his team responded by assembling a \u201cviolent crime roundtable\u201d of the nation\u2019s best special agents in charge (SACs), crafting a battle plan to deploy agents strategically across the country. \u201cWe water ballooned around the country,\u201d Bongino explained, referencing the tactical deployment of agents to crime hotspots, \u201cand made, get a load of this guys, this is going to trip you out\u201428,000 violent crime arrests in 2025. And the year is not even over.\u201d<\/p>\n
To put this achievement in perspective, Bongino compared it to prior years: \u201cThe FBI under prior leadership averaged about 15,000 to 16,000 [arrests]. We\u2019re at 28,000. We\u2019re not even done with the year. We haven\u2019t even hit Thanksgiving or Christmas yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Results: Cleaner Cities, Renewed Confidence
Bongino attributed this surge in arrests to a leadership team that empowered the FBI to focus on its core mission\u2014fighting crime\u2014rather than getting sidetracked by other issues. \u201cShows you when you get a president, an attorney general, a deputy attorney general, and an FBI leadership team that lets the FBI do FBI work instead of getting into other nonsense in the past. Look what happens. Your cities get cleaner.\u201d<\/p>\n
The results have been palpable, with violent crime rates dropping in several major cities and communities expressing renewed hope for safety and order. Bongino\u2019s account paints a picture of federal law enforcement operating at peak efficiency, driven by a clear mandate from the highest levels of government.<\/p>\n
The Pushback: Newsom\u2019s Defiant Stance
However, not everyone is celebrating the federal intervention. Governor Gavin Newsom, former mayor of San Francisco and now California\u2019s chief executive, took to social media to voice his opposition. \u201cFact check: Nobody wants you here. You will ruin one of America\u2019s greatest cities,\u201d Newsom wrote on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n
When asked how he would respond if Newsom attempted to block federal agents from operating in California, Bongino didn\u2019t mince words. \u201cWell, we don\u2019t answer to the governor of California. We answer to the president, the American people, the attorney general, and the deputy attorney general. That\u2019s the chain of command.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bongino dismissed Newsom\u2019s claim that \u201cnobody wants you here\u201d as out of touch with the realities faced by ordinary citizens. \u201cAsk the 67-year-old woman living in a drug-ridden area of LA or San Francisco who\u2019s had some guy slinging crack on the corner for ten years now, harassing her grandkids. Go ask her if she wants us and the FBI, the US Marshals, and the DEA and all the operations of the federal government to clean up the city. Go ask her. I promise there\u2019s not a limited sample size of people. That\u2019s kind of a BS remark. The people do want us there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ground-Level Perspective: Voices from the Community
Bongino shared his own observations from the streets of Washington, D.C., describing encounters with National Guard members and the gratitude expressed by local residents. \u201cI saw about 10 or 15 National Guard folks. I\u2019m telling you, all right, granted, it\u2019s just my single subject designed for that day. I saw at least in that half hour I was there, 10, 15 people thank them for being there.\u201d<\/p>\n
This anecdote highlighted a key point often lost in political debates: for many Americans living in high-crime areas, the presence of federal law enforcement is not an unwelcome intrusion but a lifeline. The disconnect between political rhetoric and lived experience is stark, and Bongino\u2019s remarks suggest that federal agencies are filling a critical gap left by local and state authorities.<\/p>\n
The Broader Implications: Federal vs. State Authority
The clash between Bongino and Newsom is more than a personal feud\u2014it reflects a broader national debate over the balance of power between federal and state governments. At stake is the question of who bears ultimate responsibility for public safety and whether federal intervention is justified when local leaders are perceived as failing to protect their constituents.<\/p>\n
Critics of federal overreach argue that states should retain autonomy over law enforcement within their borders, warning that outside intervention can undermine local governance and erode civil liberties. Supporters, on the other hand, contend that the federal government has a duty to step in when crime spirals out of control and local agencies are overwhelmed or ineffective.<\/p>\n
Bongino\u2019s stance is clear: the federal government answers to the American people, not to individual governors or mayors. \u201cWe don\u2019t work for the locals. We work for the American people,\u201d he reiterated, emphasizing the primacy of national interests over regional politics.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: A Defining Moment in the Crime Debate
As violent crime continues to challenge cities across the United States, the showdown between Dan Bongino and Gavin Newsom has crystallized the stakes of the ongoing debate. With federal agencies reporting record numbers of arrests and local leaders pushing back against perceived encroachment, the nation finds itself at a crossroads.<\/p>\n
Will federal intervention restore safety and order to America\u2019s urban centers, or will state resistance prevail? As Bongino\u2019s remarks reverberate through the media and Newsom doubles down on his opposition, one thing is certain: the battle for America\u2019s cities is far from over\u2014and the outcome will shape the future of law enforcement for years to come.<\/p>\n
The farm where she originally was from had used her for her milk and to have more calves.<\/p>\n
She gave birth to 14 calves and stayed on the farm for 15 years.<\/p>\n
After that, she stopped producing milk and was deemed \u201cuseless\u201d or not profitable.<\/p>\n
He spent so much time with her compared to the other cows and didn\u2019t have the heart to leave her behind or give her away.<\/p>\n
So, he did the most selfless thing \u2013 he sold his operations and told the new owner to keep Helen so he could keep an eye on her and still take care of her.<\/p>\n
Four years after he sold his operations, Helen was still living on the farm, but the new owners couldn\u2019t give her as much attention and care as she needed as a senior and blind cow.<\/p>\n
He started reaching out to sanctuaries that could take better care of her.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an animal sanctuary that helps rescue animals, including farm animals.<\/p>\n
When they heard about Helen, they knew they had to step right in. Founders Rian Feldman and Scooter Belasco worked on giving Helen a haven.<\/p>\n
Everything was new to her, and it was difficult to erase her experience from all 19 years of her life.<\/p>\n
She was scared and confused, but Rian and Scooter were patient with her and worked towards gaining her trust. On the first day, it took her 45 minutes to get inside her shed.<\/p>\n
They placed a wind chime outside her shed so she would know where to go when she needed to rest.<\/p>\n
They also installed a solar-powered fountain on her water trough so she could hear the sprinkling water and know where to go when thirsty.<\/p>\n
They nailed a brush by the frame of her shed so she could brush her hair, and she loved it so much!<\/p>\n
Rian and Scooter took her for a walk every day and talked to her gently so she knew she was in a safe space.<\/p>\n
They brush, hug, massage, and kiss her to tell her she will be okay.<\/p>\n
She showed them that if they give that much love and care to animals that need help, they will receive that same amount of love or even in multiple folds.<\/p>\n
Helen may be 19, but being in the sanctuary has given her a new lease on life.<\/p>\n
As she enters her golden years, she\u2019s been given a chance to make the most out of her freedom and to finally feel what love is.<\/p>\n
