00:01:19.000Can't think about it, I could die tonight
00:01:22.200Well, ladies and gentlemen, there's been a blowout in the United States.
00:01:37.840There's been a blue wave of Democrats.
00:01:40.120People are making jokes on the timeline saying you can't say words anymore.
00:01:45.260You have to be woke or else you're going to jail.
00:01:47.220And although we joke about that, there was a young Canadian nationalist who was trying to go to the midterms event in the United States because he has a political Republican friend in the United States.
00:02:00.300And he was stopped at the border and he posted about it last night on Twitter.
00:02:06.020and i started to message him on twitter and the details were quite alarming uh being interrogated
00:02:12.360over you know data on his phone private messages essentially alluding to his politics alluding to
00:02:18.640racism and this i guess presumably being part of the reason why he is not allowed to visit the
00:02:24.980united states or his politics anyway this story is outrageous i'm glad to get him on the show
00:02:31.140with you now the one and only max jenay how are you doing today sir i'm feeling a lot better yeah

00:03:58.680being like hey i love this guy and of course the the pinko communists being outraged by your0.62
00:04:04.440uh boldness of of kind of being honest about what's going on um and yeah i guess we'll just0.81
00:04:10.920go to your your post uh to start this is from last night breaking on my way to a young republicans
00:04:16.380event in north dakota that i was invited to homeland security interrogated me invaded my
00:04:20.840privacy by going through my phone and denied me entry into america because of quote racism
00:04:25.740america is flooded with illegal aliens yet their priorities denying law abiding canadians entry
00:04:30.900um and we don't need to go into too many of the details of what's on this form here but um
00:04:36.980we should clarify you did have your passport you did have your passport with you even though
00:04:42.540there's kind of some jargon in here alluding to some sort of reason of uh you know you not having
00:04:48.140your passport but um you know we'll put the part of the conversation aside where it's like you know
00:04:54.460you don't have you don't have that many rights when you go to the border like there is a truth
00:04:59.220to this because you you know they can they can find any reason to search you and yada yada yada
00:05:03.880but um i mean let's just talk about the kind of innocence of your simple story here uh tell me
00:05:09.280more about this event in uh in north dakota and how you even heard about it and why why you were
00:05:16.180going there. Yeah, of course. So I am friends with Jeb Baugh. He is the young Republicans
00:05:24.280chapter leader for North Dakota or a certain part of North Dakota. Great guy. He invited me to
00:05:31.220this event. It's a watch party for the midterms. I was going to be there, sleep over at his place
00:05:40.960and then leave the next morning. Pretty simple plan, just a little bit of a vacation to meet
00:05:47.280new people and have a good time. However, I was stopped at the border on my way there
00:05:53.120and they were not very nice to me. I answered the standard questions and they told us to go park
00:06:01.500in the building. They searched our car, brought out a canine. The dog went everywhere in the car.
00:06:09.400um i'm shocked they didn't tear the car apart and leave us with a broken car there but yeah
00:06:18.220um it was it was pretty scary stuff they immediately asked us to empty our pockets
00:06:24.700take all of our possessions put it on a table and they took my phone and the phone that belonged to
00:06:32.020my friend who was traveling with me um also a dominion society member were you driving
00:06:40.160i was not driving no my friend was driving it's his car that we went in yeah um it's very efficient
00:06:47.820on gas and for someone who you know a generation that struggles with uh money and key car to take
00:06:53.760um but yeah no um before we get into the uh when they kind of brought you in and interrogated you
00:07:00.820and take your phone i am curious like the first kind of progression of deciding to search your
00:07:07.580car because like that's kind of um you know there's probably some sort of methodology there's
00:07:13.260some sort of protocol of when they're going to decide to search somebody there's some suspicious
00:07:17.480thing going on can you give us the play-by-play of like how that part went because like usually
00:07:22.580you pull up hey hey where are you guys headed why like those are usually the questions right
00:07:27.520like where are you headed by and like can you kind of tell us like a step-by-step of how that
00:07:32.320went to okay we're pulling you over to search your car now like well how did the conversation
00:07:36.360go with the border guard well i made it clear i'm just going there for an event so it's pleasure
00:07:43.420right it's tourism i'm gonna meet some friends but they started drilling us and asking us more
00:07:50.080and more questions and i've been through that land border before i've i've been there last year i've
00:07:57.100been there the uh year before in 2024 i i went to a trump rally because i never been to one right
00:08:06.180i wanted to experience that not not because i support the guy because i'm just i'm just really
00:08:10.180curious about it so going to a political event during an election um not a problem then
00:08:17.020but they just had an issue with me and my guess is that they scanned my passport and
00:08:23.560the canadian government may have put something on my passport because them and the americans do
00:08:30.120share intelligence i am aware of that i mean they quite literally work in practically the
00:08:34.600same building right on the same facility there so yeah i don't know yeah okay and so
00:08:45.000so like you pull up and the and the border guard is saying like hey where are you going and you
00:08:49.560guys just say like some event or did you say like some young republicans event like were you specific
00:08:54.920yeah i said the young republicans event i got invited and you know they asked to see the
00:09:00.200invitation show them the invitation okay they asked to see an invitation and like what did
00:09:07.320you show them like a little like event event image or something like that yeah and i showed them uh
00:09:12.920the tax exchange i had and this is when you're like pulled up like talking to the border guard
00:09:17.720through the window to the car yeah so that like the the more like that kind of started when we
00:09:26.020were getting out of the car okay and they asked more questions there but the window stuff was
00:09:31.100pretty um i was just standard standard questioning and do you did you notice a difference
00:09:38.280between the sort of energy or the vibe if you will uh like before and after giving them your
00:09:45.900passport because usually they ask a couple questions and then grab your passport and then
00:09:50.520scan them right yeah basically the no the question drilling started after they scanned my passport
00:09:57.800that's why i think there's something that happened once they scanned my passport
00:10:01.140um i i go to the states about you know like once a year nowadays but this is the first time this
00:10:09.040has ever happened um right and and what was going through your head when did when did you think oh
00:10:16.380man there's there might be some political nonsense going on here what was the kind of what flagged it
00:10:21.820for you when they were just like what do you do what do you do and i'm like well i'm the chapter
00:10:32.200leader for the manitoba chapter of the domain society right um and they're just really asking
00:10:40.520a lot of questions like what do you do what do you do and it's like i make political content
00:10:45.420and then they like and i think they already knew that i everything i said i think they really knew
00:10:50.320and and was this before the interrogation or was this still outside right before they searched your
00:10:55.840car i would say a good chunk of it was just after they scanned the passport but after they scanned
00:11:04.160the passport it was pretty swift once you know their their decision was probably made you're
00:11:09.600going to go into that building and going to park and we're going to search a car we're going to
00:11:12.620give you a hard time as that was after the passports were scanned that's that's my guess
00:11:18.120of the whole situation um wow all right i've never experienced that by the way i was shocked
00:11:25.120i thought maybe hey it might be random random screening random you know search because they
00:11:32.420do that once in a while and you know it's the way they work but um yeah yeah i mean that was
00:11:42.680abnormal i mean it's wild and i want to emphasize for anybody watching like you were you're turning
00:11:49.10020 this month i think you said like you're 19 years old you're a young nationalist you're kind
00:11:54.320curious about politics and and there is you do have a point there is a big difference of going
00:11:58.780to you know a political event in america there's a certain energy there's a certain intensity that's
00:12:04.540very cool to experience if it's something that you're passionate about um yeah and it's uh it's
00:12:11.960very shocking and disturbing that uh the this is this is all it's not that you have a you know
00:12:17.660a criminal record it's not that anything flagged about you haven't used fentanyl before have you
00:12:23.220no no no okay just ask um it's crazy that that uh potentially that you your passport is being
00:12:33.500flagged for your political views um that are associated with nothing other than being you
00:12:39.220know proud of your history um so let's move on to the second phase so they've searched your car
00:12:46.940you're parked over there um and you said they they put all your possessions onto you had to
00:12:52.560put all your possessions onto a table you said yeah so we had to do that um all right we got a
00:13:01.380little freeze there not to worry um but uh yeah so you know when it comes to your cell phone
00:13:10.140uh like you just kind of handed over the phone i guess and did they say okay we're going to look
00:13:18.280through this thing or i guess i'm guessing that you just kind of had to put it on the table
00:13:21.200uh i would be tempted to turn my phone off and like have it behind a like a code thing or whatever
00:13:27.260i don't know i don't i don't know if you have any rights though when you're at the the u.s border
00:13:31.040and they're like you know thinking that you might be a terrorist i don't understand how a lot of
00:13:34.460that stuff works maybe somebody else can fill in the details but um but uh yeah but uh yeah so
00:13:45.100they asked you to put the kind of they asked you to put it down yeah and then kind of what happened
00:13:51.260from there yeah so they asked uh put your phones down so my friend put his phone down i put my phone
00:13:58.140down and they took our phones from us right so they said put put all your possessions onto this
00:14:04.760table in your pockets and we went okay so we we did that and then they took our our phones
