00:02:41.120But these guys have had blinders on for years now
00:02:42.860Because trucking is such a massive industry that you can very easily be trapped in your own little bubble.
00:02:47.260So if you're in a niche that does really well, you can be immune to most of these problems that a lot of other carriers are having.0.99
00:02:55.180So when you see the kind of infiltration of foreign labor, I think we can all probably recognize the incentive structure here.0.78
00:03:04.140Obviously, as with so many sectors of the United States, it begins with companies seeking an advantage by hiring people who do the work for less.
00:03:14.840We all know, as Bernie Sanders used to say, open borders is a Koch brothers scheme to drive down wages.
00:03:21.560But it literally does. That's what it's for.
00:03:23.360If you increase the labor pool, then obviously you can pay people what you want.
00:03:27.540And one of the problems with supply chains is you had to pay, you know, the average American a pretty decent living to go do this job.
00:03:35.520So we understand ultimately that they're going to lean into the cheapness.
00:03:39.680But also let's talk about the hiring process as well, because I know, for instance, in the tech industry,0.99
00:03:45.420they often say if you put one Indian inside of the HR department, inside of the tech department,
00:03:51.040all of a sudden everyone has to be an H-1B Indian and they just happen to be the best guy for the job every time.
00:03:56.520are we seeing anything similar in the trucking industry it's a little different in trucking0.99
00:04:00.640because with tech you know you're it's dominated by like a handful of really large companies
00:04:05.360trucking is the exact opposite there are over 700 000 trucking companies in the u.s and the
00:04:11.140large ones what we call mega carriers or enterprise fleets guys with over 10 000 trucks they make up
00:04:16.220less than you know five percent of the entire industry in the u.s a lot of this foreign labor
00:04:22.420that you're seeing they are companies that are owned by immigrants and they're hiring immigrants
00:04:27.580um and the reason they do that is because one it's just a language barrier um a lot of times
00:04:33.380they're family it's just convenient um but also like if me there's a guy there's a great video
00:04:38.700on tiktok that went viral uh two years ago where a driver was calling um job postings that he found
00:04:43.780on facebook talking as he does with like a regular midwestern accent and the recruiters were just
00:04:48.080clicking and hanging up on them but then he would call back and have like a fake funny accent and
00:04:53.080it was like oh text this number join this telegram group and boom he was in and that's how we were
00:04:57.740able to find out who these companies actually were um so it's it's uh ethnic enclaves exploiting
00:05:03.040their own people within their own their own ethnic enclaves which is really interesting because of
00:07:36.140You are a professional, and you are supposed to be acting as such.
00:07:39.620And so when you have individuals that can't speak with dock workers,
00:07:42.880can't speak with law enforcement, can't speak with the general public
00:07:45.000as far as like, hey, I need to get around your vehicle because X, Y, Z,
00:07:48.340or hey, this is what I'm hauling, or God forbid there's an emergency
00:07:51.600and I've got to get a hold of somebody,
00:07:53.680there could be any number of language barriers preventing the proper steps
00:07:57.760to mitigate whatever disaster is currently going on at the moment so i know you said that it's
00:08:03.020relatively easy for illegals to step in and you know kind of achieve this work visa you know this
00:08:08.180work authorization and step into the industry but there have been several stories about specific
00:08:12.460states going out of their way to basically turn themselves into uh kind of licensing mills for
00:08:17.960illegal truckers so what is that about if it's so easy to step in and get that work authorization
00:08:23.580What are those states doing that creates this kind of certification mill that brings them into the industry?
00:08:30.300Yeah, well, a lot of things have changed within the last year or two.
00:08:33.500California has kind of been the punching bag of the current Department of Transportation Administration.
00:08:37.980And they have actually done, finally, after getting a lot of their funding revoked, taking corrective measures.
00:08:43.860As far as I know, California is the only state currently that if you are a truck driver and you get pulled over and you get a violation for not being able to speak English,
00:08:49.880you get a letter sent to your house saying hey you've got 14 days to get your butt to the dmv
00:08:54.080and prove you can speak english or we're downgrading your cdl status um i don't think
00:08:58.280any other state does that right now more definitely should follow through it's just unfortunate that
00:09:02.140it took all of this to happen for california to finally uh step in line but the the typical
00:09:07.240pipeline has always been um you'll have situations where uh large groups come in as refugees um and
00:09:14.500it has always been the case since like the 1980s during the the india civil war in the 1980s all
00:09:19.420those guys into california when the soviet union was falling apart a lot of guys from
00:09:23.300eastern europe went to chicago those are our massive freight hot spots right now
00:09:27.660is uh you got all the eastern european organized crime guys in chicago and then um all the the
00:09:35.820the sikh and calistani guys out in california um that are hooked up with like the punjabi mafia
00:09:41.220and all that now we do see also stories about other states cracking down on these licenses
00:09:48.140Has there been any particular, you know, governors or state governments that have really gone out of their way to try to improve the situation along with the Trump administration?
00:10:07.980Most people aren't going to know that term.
00:10:09.280So my first CDL was a non-domicile CDL.
00:10:12.380All it meant was that this is a driver's license for a commercial truck for a state in which you do not live.
00:10:17.880I lived in Indiana at the time, but my trucking school was in Wisconsin.
00:10:22.140So the hotel that I was staying at was my address on my first CDL.
00:10:26.360And my company said, this is just a temporary license.0.75
00:10:29.440Get your butt back home, transfer it back to your home state, and then report back to work.
00:10:32.780That was how the non-domicile CDL was initially intended to be used for.0.96
00:10:36.820It was not meant to be a massive loophole to import as many people as we could from overseas
00:10:42.160and kind of have them in this legal gray zone driving commercial trucks.
00:10:47.560But anytime you leave any kind of loopholes in this industry, the loopholes are big enough to drive an 18-wheeler through, and it happens time and time again.
00:10:56.540There's currently one right now in Pennsylvania where around 1% of all CDL schools in the state of Pennsylvania are registered with the federal government.
00:11:09.460The rest are exempt through this loophole where if you are a private not-for-hire fleet, you can have your own CDL certification program.
00:11:17.560And the reason why this is the case is, like, if you're a farm and you're trying to hire workers, you just want to hire some guy, train him in to drive the truck so he can go out and haul the crops and then get it through the season.
00:11:26.960Well, by having that loophole in, that's the same exact exploit that all the shady guys are using to get their drivers right now.
00:11:34.260So how is this impacting friends that you have in the industry?
00:12:10.660it's still on the employee side so if you're just a an employee for a company we haven't really seen
00:12:16.480that much of a pay hike for drivers that's always been the issue in trucking is the industry tells
00:12:22.460itself we have a driver shortage there has never been a driver shortage and then there never
00:12:26.460possibly could be a driver shortage because we have so many people that already have commercial
00:12:31.120driver's licenses who could be out driving trucks right now they just don't because the pay isn't
00:12:36.560worth it to be away from your friends and family for weeks possibly months at a time and that is
00:12:40.720something the industry has never really had to grasp grasp with and even today they're still not
00:12:45.280really fully understanding what it is that they're up against because a lot of the pipelines that
00:12:50.960were available to get new people into the industry they're slamming shut the whole self-certified
00:12:55.900CDL program that's going away the Duffy today just announced like this massive push to get vets
00:13:01.640in the in the industry they've been doing that for decades it was the case when I joined in 2007
00:13:06.000it's not going to work. Then you'll have prisoner pipelines, where if you're a guy in jail,
00:13:11.320you can go through a CDL program while you're in jail. Then when you get out, you got a job.
00:13:15.720All of those programs, when you look at the turnover rate, it's still above 90%.
00:13:20.000So over nine out of 10 people who go through those programs, they quit the industry
00:13:23.720within a year. They just do not work. And it's until companies learn how to hold onto the drivers
00:13:30.440that they currently have, it's never going to get fixed. And they're just not ready to deal
00:13:34.760with that yet well and that's the case in so many industries right we always hear oh there's a labor
00:13:39.460shortage in this there's a labor shortage of that it's like well do you do you want to increase pay
00:13:44.080oh well no no never yeah we're always pretending that there there there's never a there's never
00:13:49.980never a labor shortage when you have a wage mechanism there is always a equilibrium at which
00:13:55.780if you raise the price someone will do the job so the answer is not you know that they're they are
00:14:01.720unable to find anyone to do the job it's simply that they as you say refuse to compensate people
00:14:07.320for what they're actually doing that's always my sniff test whenever i see like mike roe or any of
00:14:11.840these like labor guys that come out and they're advocating for industry x y and z i look up
00:14:16.500immediately what the trend of wages are through that industry over time and if they're flat or
00:14:21.200and or down it's all horseshit they're just trying to flood in more labor because they're trying to
00:14:26.080grapple with their massive turnover problems we see that in truck we see that in trucking we see
00:14:30.360that in teaching we see that in nursing right now every single nurse I talk to even if they've been
00:14:34.480around for a while and they're making great money they know that all the people being hired behind
00:14:38.520them they're all quitting because the pay and the work-life balance just isn't worth it and so when
00:14:43.580people hear that oh we have a nursing shortage well okay do you want to be a nurse no it doesn't
00:14:47.600pay great because we don't have a shortage of nurses we have too many nurses we have too many
00:14:51.820teachers we have too many truck drivers and until you bring that available supply of labor down to
00:14:57.400where rates or wages actually do have to increase to get people incentivized back into those jobs, it's all lies.
00:15:04.720Well, and, you know, we see this, as you say, in the health care industry,0.82
00:15:07.400where right now most of the Somalians who have been brought in are home health care aides0.97
00:15:13.880because nobody wants to do that job for the pay that they're offering.1.00
00:15:17.940And this is just what downgrades the quality of life for everyone in the United States.
00:15:24.360As you say, long-haul trucking is not easy.
00:15:26.280You're away from family, you know, weeks on end, you're crammed into a cab constantly, wears on your health, all these other things, late nights, trying to stay up.
00:15:34.760You know, all these things are like very serious issues that impact somebody.
00:15:38.700And you should receive a reasonable compensation.
00:15:41.000Again, that's why the job was always this bridge to the middle class for people who otherwise couldn't have it.
00:15:45.920Because even if they did not have other marketable skills, if you got a CDL and you were willing to make the sacrifice, the pay was good enough to compensate.
00:15:53.300But you don't want to make that payment to the, you know, the workers. And so the key is to just degrade everyone's life. You know, we'll just bring in as many fours as we can to create this, you know, artificial pressure on the on the wage market. And then when these people don't complain, because I mean, I don't know about you, man, but I've been in Ubers. You know, these guys are never alone. They're sitting on their phones 24 seven talking to people back in India. You know, they're willing to constantly, you know, put themselves in situations where they're isolated or working long hours.
00:16:23.300because they're never going to have that kind of opportunity back home.
00:16:26.680And so you're basically demanding that every American live like a third world
00:16:31.780in order to compete with the wages that are now being promised to these people
00:16:36.220who don't care about the benefits or the conditions0.66
00:16:39.040because ultimately, well, it's better than whatever terrible country they came from.
00:16:44.060Yeah, that's the poison pill that I don't think this industry realized
00:16:46.320they were swallowing at the time when there was this massive push to bring in truck drivers.
00:16:50.320So when I joined the industry in 2007,
00:16:52.560And the initial push was for global war on terrorism vets.
00:16:56.020Then eventually you run out of those guys.
00:16:57.980Well, then it was, we'll just import other countries' truck drivers.
00:17:00.500Well, you run out of those eventually too.
00:17:02.500Then it was, well, we'll just import anyone.0.89
00:17:04.540And that was the trap that got switched.
00:17:07.020Because what they didn't anticipate was that all these guys that they would be importing,
00:17:10.380they wouldn't come here, work for a little bit, and go back home.
00:17:12.360A lot of them came here, stayed, and then opened trucking companies of their own
00:17:16.480and then started importing their guys to come in.
00:17:19.420And they've just been just completely overrunning the legit companies.
00:17:24.260There's a website I used to work for called FreightWaves.com.
00:17:27.100They have an entire section dedicated to bankruptcies and layoffs.
00:17:30.260And it is hundreds of pages long at this point.
00:17:32.860They've been tracking for the last, I think, six years now, all the companies that are doing layoffs and bankruptcies.
00:17:38.640And it just keeps growing over and over and over over time.
00:17:41.620so when we think about trucking a lot of people are just well this is how i get you know tvs or
00:17:50.620you know kleenex or whatever from point a to point b important at some level but not a big deal
00:17:57.220i think something you've talked about that is really critical is like actually no our supply
00:18:01.520chains are some of the most important things about our civilization we really as americans
00:18:07.700because of the vast nature of our uh our country just our continent-sized country we rely very
00:18:14.240heavily on freight you know we rely very heavily on uh you know these truckers we don't have the
00:18:20.240uh the train networks or other ways to distribute as much as as other countries and so the trucker
00:18:25.760is really the lifeblood constantly of making sure that we can get deliveries on time we can deliver
00:18:30.740products and that kind of thing and it's not just about you know your kleenexes or you know what you
00:18:36.220know your dish wipes or whatever it is about the fact that obviously there is a very real like
00:18:41.880national security element to this that in many cases you have critical cargo cargo that is needed
00:18:47.700by you know law enforcement or the um uh the medical industry these kind of things lives
00:18:53.040depend on the fact that these trucks arrive on time efficiently so when you're downgrading the
00:18:57.440quality of your workforce you're also opening your country up to all of these vulnerabilities
00:19:02.660hard to like decide which direction to take this because you've just opened up like eight different
00:19:08.540venues here for me we'll get to all of them um one thing we we started tracking me uh me and a
00:19:14.580friend of mine daniel trafin um we kind of noticed that like all the new ice vehicles being delivered
00:19:19.740right now none of them being delivered by american carriers they're all guys from serbia uzbekistan
00:19:24.780moldova you name it and they're bragging about it on their social media pages um because we'll find
00:19:31.020these guys track them for a little while and then they're videoing themselves like going to an ice
00:19:36.240facility an illegal immigrant driving a truck hauling ice vehicles going to an ice facility0.97
00:19:40.340making the delivery and being like holy shit i just did that and this happens all the time0.99
00:19:45.620and let's not forget we just had a hispanic military veteran try to light a building on fire0.96
00:19:53.060in new york city you know protesting ice so if that's a guy who served in the military imagine
00:19:58.720the you know a willingness of different immigrant drivers maybe some of whom are here illegally
00:20:04.480imagine their willingness to sabotage you know these vehicles to um you know lose the delivery0.99
00:20:10.700find other ways to you know break this down these situations are very dangerous because we know
00:20:18.300from experience that there's a lot of hostility to ice in their mission and so if we have people
00:20:23.560who aren't supposed to be here or who are foreigners and don't really respect what ice
00:20:27.440is doing ultimately worry that this might push them or their family out of the country who knows
00:20:31.420what action they'll take when they're trying to transport a vehicle like this yeah we're so blessed0.99
00:20:37.460and lucky right now that at least for the current time being these guys aren't stupid enough to mess0.92
00:20:41.720with them with those kind of loads they just want to haul it because it pays great and it's easy0.89
00:20:45.760freight my concern when it comes to those kind of carrier relationships is we don't know who the
00:20:51.800owner of the company is if they're even based in the united states we don't know what um eld
00:20:56.460electronic logging device they're using in the truck that is that is the the FBI
00:21:00.420has been sounding the alarm for the last six years on ELDs and semi trucks right
00:21:04.620now as far as like national security vulnerabilities because we have so much
00:21:09.360of the military freight that's currently outsourced right now where an
00:21:13.560unauthorized carrier will bid on a whole bunch of loads and then re broker those
00:21:17.580loads out to who the hell knows who and then whoever shows up we don't know
00:21:21.780who's tracking them where that data is going a lot of times it's going overseas
00:21:25.440so my concern is that anytime we're going to have some kind of massive military movement going
00:21:29.860forward anyone who's tracking all those shipments going across the country they'll realize oh we
00:21:35.280have a ton of volume going from this base on this coast this base on this coast something's
00:21:39.940happening so before we can even move the troops or move their supplies the bad guys already know
00:21:45.340that we're up to something and that's an easy fix and we have been talking to people in the
00:21:50.260administration for over two years now and the response has always been wow that's alarming
00:21:54.840okay cool you guys gonna do anything about it no not yet yeah i mean i know that the trump
00:22:00.540administration has about a thousand things on the plate right now but you know this this is why it's
00:22:05.620so important to focus on domestic issues you know because we just have so many things that absolutely
00:22:11.440have to get fixed again the supply chain you know being vulnerable is incredibly dangerous
00:22:16.140this is something i think about all the time you know i know in so many industries you know
00:22:21.000One of the terrifying things of being a national host is I get a lot of messages from people and they'll say things like, hey, man, water treatment, electricity, like all this stuff.
00:22:29.940We are completely screwed in 10 years.
00:22:32.960Like, we don't have the guys behind us to do the work.
00:22:36.000All of the guys who are maintaining these systems, you know, airlines, everything else, they are retiring.
00:22:42.100Their knowledge has not been passed on.1.00
00:22:44.000People who are coming behind them are in many ways immigrants who, you know, don't speak the language, have lower standards.0.98
00:22:49.460you know ultimately are getting paid much less to do the job don't care so much about what's going on0.98
00:22:54.420uh there's an increase in danger this is going to break down and you know i i love i love my i love
00:23:01.460my reds my blue state red guys you know i i love them you know that my urbanite uh you know right
00:23:06.900wingers by all means you know fight the good fight but a lot of times they don't seem to understand
00:23:11.460what happens when the trucks stop rolling into the city what happens when all of a sudden those
00:23:16.340things become very very inconsistent and all you know the fact that you are now living in this you
00:23:21.620know highly influential cosmopolitan center uh just means you're actually living in a death trap
00:23:26.820uh you know the minute that they the supplies are no longer coming in so are you seeing a similar
00:23:31.300thing in the trucking industry a loss of specialization seriousness uh you know the loss of
00:23:36.500uh that kind of momentum when it comes to institutional knowledge with people retiring
00:23:40.500and a different generation of maybe even foreign work coming in behind them oh absolutely i mean
00:23:45.540we saw a small glimmer of that during covid when um you know products became really hard to find
00:23:50.820on the store shelves because everybody was buying stuff so quickly and they couldn't be replenished
00:23:54.660fast enough and freight rates shot up as a result and the um solution that the biden administration
00:24:00.180came up with was was the biden trucking action plan and all that was was pete butage edge and
00:24:05.380his guys from um mckenzie said okay we don't have enough drivers we're just going to more than double
00:24:10.180the amount of cdls issued between 2020 and 2021 every year we typically put out 400 to 450 000
00:24:16.900cdls in 2021 alone we put out 876 000 cdls so it massively flooded the industry which caused um
00:24:24.660you know right up until that point rates were like super sky high everybody's making money
00:24:28.340hand over fist then boom the market is over just completely overrun with capacity rates crash as
00:24:34.020a result a lot of really really good american legacy carriers went out of business these are
00:24:39.060are guys who have survived multiple, multiple freight cycles. They know what the hell they're
00:24:42.940doing. They're not stupid. They just can't compete with guys who can run under their operating costs.1.00
00:24:48.040And we saw that in the mail, which is why the U.S. Postal Service has a massive problem right now
00:24:52.320with all these chameleon carriers because the company I used to drive for, they eventually
00:24:57.320merged with a bunch of other companies to be called a company called 10 Roads, 10 Roads
00:25:01.620Transportation. They were the largest postal contractor in the nation. They were about 10%
00:25:05.860of the entire postal contractor network.
00:25:08.820And they just went bankrupt January this past year.
00:39:30.360Best administration of my lifetime when it comes to this stuff.
00:39:33.020But it gets really frustrating when, you know, the vast majority of time, all I'm seeing is posting online when we know for a fact, as you say, the documentation is right there.
00:39:41.700the trigger could be pulled and they just refuse to do it that's the key where they're frustrating
00:39:46.520it's it's like they are doing such a great job on so many things but there are like massive other
00:39:52.700problems that they're just either completely ignorant to or like purposefully ignoring
00:39:56.160and we're all just like freaking out saying look at this look at this look at this and if they do
00:40:01.260respond it's like okay that's going to be kind of a problem i've been saying for years now it's not
00:40:06.360going to be DOT that fixes this. It's going to be the IRS, the Department of Labor, and Department
00:40:12.040of Commerce that is going to be shutting these companies down. Just like how we put Al Capone
00:40:15.240away, not for the booze he was smuggling, but the taxes he wasn't paying. It's going to be the same
00:40:19.620thing with these trucking companies. The FMCSA, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration,
00:40:24.880this is the part of the DOT that is responsible for tracking all the trucks and their trucking
00:40:30.140companies on the roads right now. There's 1,300 employees in that entire department. Of those
00:40:35.180300 are investigators so they are a very small operation in a very massive industry they are
00:40:42.400outnumbered outmatched outgunned and outspent all the time because any new solutions these guys come
00:40:48.000up with the bad guys are five steps ahead because they have guys overseas that can vibe code an app
00:40:53.160to get around any kind of new system they put in place um so right now they're they realize okay
00:40:58.880we have a problem with like new companies registering fraudulently so they launched this
00:41:02.260new program called modus the launch of modus has been a complete disaster a lot of real legit
00:41:07.100companies are having problems logging into their accounts and updating their insurance info so you
00:41:11.140have trucking companies right now that can't haul freight because they can't update their insurance
00:41:14.620info because the solution that they try to come up with to combat these bad actors is also hurting
00:41:19.400the good actors too so i know you said that you've had members of the trump administration reach out
00:41:26.300to you and listen to you so it's not like they're unaware of certain aspects of this but if you had
00:41:31.600a one-on-one with the president tomorrow and he needed two to three things that he should
00:41:36.620prioritize immediately easy to do would make as much change as possible or if not easy to do at
00:41:42.260least so significant that it needs to get prioritized what would you list to him so he's
00:41:47.060a big optics guy you know he realizes okay sending in like wave of wave wave after wave of like ice1.00
00:41:52.120agents into cities and like civilians getting into the way and you know some idiot jumps in front of0.98
00:41:56.700the car and they get taken out by an ice agent that's a bad look and i don't want that nobody0.94
00:42:00.420wants that but when it comes to trucking every single time they run one of these operation
00:42:04.660guardian um operations out in like oklahoma or wyoming everybody's like hey that's great we want0.97
00:42:10.040to see the illegal immigrant truck drivers taken off the road right they need to start opening up0.82
00:42:14.240all the way stations across the country um all these guys run on the nights and weekends when0.97
00:42:18.860you're out driving on the highways at night it is it is a completely 180 on the quality of carriers
00:42:24.980that go out there because you know when i drove truck i like driving at night because there's less
00:42:27.660traffic much easier to find truck parking in the mornings um but the way and the way stations are
00:42:32.500closed well the problem is the bad guys know that too so if i'm a sketchy operator that's exactly
00:42:37.620when i'm driving is is at night so they need to be running the the scales 24 7 they need to be
00:42:42.660opening the scales in all states um pennsylvania has a problem with that right now where the state
00:42:47.400doesn't have any dedicated uh truck inspection stations so the troopers do their inspections
00:42:52.920on the highway and they every year they'll have a handful of uh dot inspectors get uh hit and
00:42:58.800killed uh while doing an inspection on the on the trucks because it's it's very unsafe um number two
00:43:04.480would be going after the companies themselves not just the trucking companies but the people giving
00:43:08.820them freight these guys will not be in the country if they couldn't make money they can't make money
00:43:13.120if somebody's not giving them freight so duffy this and this is you know duffy's his own worst
00:43:19.100enemy when it comes to stuff like this because he'll make these big proclamations and big promises
00:43:22.540and stuff and then never really follow through so he said last year we're going to hold shippers
00:43:26.140accountable we have not seen that whatsoever over 80 000 uh english language proficiency violations
00:43:33.100have been handed out since trump signed the executive order uh last year so um every single
00:43:38.640one of those companies has a file with the federal government saying hey these are the company owners
00:43:43.560this is where they live this is where the company is based in go send some people out there to check
00:43:47.660them out that's not a guarantee that you're going to find anything illegally but if you're trying to
00:43:52.520juke the numbers or you know score some easy wins that's an easy one right there um and then
00:43:58.020again um just tamping down on the actual um you know who were who were giving freight to
00:44:04.020as far as like the federal government when you have ice you know um social media accounts
00:44:10.420clipping together these like you know meme videos but the truck that they include in the
00:44:15.280meme video is owned by a dude from uzbekistan it's like right what are we doing here guys
00:44:19.220Yeah, it's like the American flag made in China, right?
00:44:40.300But I think this is so important because, again, it is a building block of kind of middle
00:44:46.260or you know like working class america that allowed them to move to the middle i've seen it
00:44:50.460my own family and so it just you know it pains me to watch those jobs drain away and then as you say
00:44:56.120when it comes to safety on the roads and security of our supply chains we simply cannot hand that
00:45:01.080over for slightly cheaper you know freight like this is this is ridiculous and i think big changes
00:45:06.160need to happen like i said i know the trump administration has made moves on this and i hope
00:45:10.780that we will be able to focus more on domestic issues and continue to make a lot of headway
00:45:15.560Because like you said, if we don't go after the employers, if we don't go after the people supplying the jobs, supplying the freight, supplying these contracts, then we're going to keep getting, you know, that demand is just going to keep getting met by foreigners who are creating a worse market for Native American employees and also an unsafe environment for Americans on the road.0.96
00:45:35.120That said, Justin, if people want to find your work, where should they go?1.00
00:45:38.540You can find me on x.com slash supertrucker.
00:45:43.200And we've got a question here from the audience.
00:45:45.560thuggo says actually the uh their labor shortage is not cheaper they are being paid in land and
00:45:53.560societal integrity i'm not sure exactly what you mean by that i mean you kind of have at some level
00:46:00.880the fact that they are gaining status in the u.s they're gaining uh regional market share inside
00:46:05.840those industries maybe that's what you're implying but i don't think anyone's getting any uh you know
00:46:10.700you know baronies handed to them out of the the the societal integrity part's interesting because
00:46:17.320what we do see a lot of times like in in ohio um you have a lot of carriers that are based out of
00:46:22.220uzbekistan and the way that those guys operate is they'll come in kind of settle into like a town0.52
00:46:27.060somewhere and then they start opening up mosques all over the place and the way that they fund0.69
00:46:31.020those mosques is by siphoning money from other trucking companies then they'll put together
00:46:35.240then they'll put together like industry groups so they'll have like the you know uzbek american0.88
00:46:40.400trucking association and then they raise a bunch of money through that and that's their now their
00:46:44.380political funding wing um and every ethnic enclave does this um the seeks do that in california
00:46:49.920whenever you see like duffy will make some new announcement with like a cdl restriction and
00:46:55.060these guys are all losing their mind they're losing their mind because they owe money to
00:46:58.400everybody you mentioned earlier you know if we cracked on these guys they'll start self-deporting
00:47:02.080and stuff i don't know if that's going to be the case in trucking because they can't leave the
00:47:06.340country because if they go back home they're going to get their legs broken because they owe money to
00:47:09.760the human traffickers who brought that's another problem um we didn't mention here a lot of these
00:47:14.100drivers are themselves victims of human trafficking when they're home in their home countries they are
00:47:19.020lied to constantly about how much money they could be making uh in the u.s now compared to what
00:47:23.840they're making at home yeah it's great but moving here and working here and making a living here are
00:47:29.420three completely separate problems and then once by the time they're here and they're in the truck
00:47:34.080and they realize how little they're making it's too late you know they can't go back home probably
00:47:37.420have a level of indentured servitude as you're saying right 100 percent percent percentages
00:47:42.000off that kind of thing so what you're creating is not just a foreign worker class you're creating
00:47:47.480basically foreign debt slaves who live under the rule of other actors in different countries
00:47:53.340and so i mean just imagine all of the opportunities for exploitation that could you know from cartels
00:48:00.620to uh you know different gangs uh you know foreign governments all these things are very easily
00:48:05.420manipulatable when you have people who are being held hostage like that so yeah that's that's a
00:48:10.000huge issue uh and something that uh people have to be aware of when you have uh all of these guys
00:48:15.520who are basically entering the country with already so much of uh their money spoken for
00:48:20.260uh they really have very little in options uh going forward because as you say they try to go
00:48:25.400home and you know that might be the end of their kneecaps that's that's my biggest gripe with like1.00
00:48:28.900these cato institute types where they're like oh no you know importing foreign workers is great0.97
00:48:32.440because they come here they create jobs the money flows around the economy no that money gets all
00:48:36.380siphoned overseas um right now so the the country to go a little tinfoil here the country of moldova
00:48:42.400they are trying to enter the european union um the eu has certain metrics that countries have
00:48:47.900to meet before they are allowed entry into the european union one of the guys that's on the
00:48:52.940committee trying to get moldova into the eu he owns a bunch of trucking companies in the u.s
00:48:57.240so they're operating all these trucking companies siphoning the money sending it back to moldova
00:49:01.700and, like, turbocharging their economy to try and get into the EU via siphoning all the money out of the U.S.
00:49:09.380Yeah, which is just absolutely insane.
00:49:11.240And then you recognize how disproportionately the income of the United States can warp the politics of basically any other country.
00:49:17.740And, you know, as you say, this is also a situation where a lot of these guys are funneling the money in ethnic clays into, you know, these mosques, into these community organizations.0.57
00:49:26.280They are organizing in an ethnic fashion because they're allowed to do that.
00:49:30.480because in the united states everybody but you know white people are allowed to do that and so
00:49:34.340you have the scenario where not only are these guys taking jobs from americans the money is
00:49:39.180immediately getting turned around and invested back into communities that are going to grow in
00:49:42.780political power they're going to put people into these positions that are you know mayors and and
00:49:47.640city councilmen and you know county commissioners and all these things and they start growing and
00:49:51.840growing their dominance of the pie because again they get to play the game of you know ethnic
00:49:56.140nepotism that other people don't and people just have to recognize that that is the huge issue if
00:50:01.260you're telling me about uh you know all this communism or whatever that's spreading around1.00
00:50:05.200no what you really need to look at is the fact that all of these immigrant communities are1.00
00:50:09.520basically building their own little ethnic ghettos where they're going to get to expand their power1.00
00:50:13.420have complete lockdowns of you know the political mechanisms there they're creating machine politics0.78
00:50:18.120that you simply do not have access to because of the way we have structured civil rights in the
00:50:23.260united states and by the time you notice like if that's happening in your in your community by the
00:50:28.120time like the quote-unquote normies recognize what's going on it's too late it's too late
00:50:32.140because you can't you can't organize a large enough block to push back against um the number0.86
00:50:37.040of votes they would have on their side absolutely it's a great point cherry coke nixon says foreigners
00:50:42.000not just ripping us off with jobs loans welfare they now get us convicted for free speech crimes
00:50:48.360for words they can use yeah so in case you don't know uh shiloh hendrix was just found guilty by
00:50:54.440a jury in minnesota of doing a heckin racism uh and so uh i just made a short about this i don't
00:51:01.860know if i'm gonna you know do a whole show about it might need to because it is so significant of
00:51:06.980a ruling uh but people need to understand that diversity creates tyranny right like when a
00:51:12.680somali immigrant who has been uh charged uh and convicted of a sex crime is allowed to harass a
00:51:18.880young mother at a park and she gets in trouble for saying a mean word to get him to go away
00:51:24.220uh we have lost our minds uh in any real society uh civic action would have been taken towards that
00:51:31.860individual to ensure that he never harassed another woman like that again uh and instead
00:51:37.160what we see are like just people completely cowed uh by our current legal system the point of0.85
00:51:42.740putting shiloh hendrix in that position is to lynch her publicly so other white people get the
00:51:48.080message that they don't have a country and they're not like allowed to speak up when their child0.55
00:51:51.860is being harassed uh by a guy who's a sex offender uh that's that's really where we're at right now
00:51:57.100it's it's insane so i grew up in south florida and that's it you know ideally that is a very
00:52:01.980diverse community um there would be times where you know depending on where which town i was in
00:52:07.280so if i go to miami if i'm in miami-dade county i'm the only white guy in like the you know
00:52:10.580nearest 60 miles so it is but it is what people would aspire to be like a diverse community but
00:52:18.820also very staunchly american um you have not had there's a different there's a new flavor of
00:52:24.240americana if you're going to like a second or third generation uh cuban's house for thanksgiving
00:52:30.080because those guys dressed up as pilgrims they they came here they were like this is the greatest
00:52:34.640place we've ever been in our lives we're staying here this is amazing i think what's changed over
00:52:39.820the years now is a lot of guys come here and they're like we miss home so we're just going
00:52:44.440to make this home right yeah the cubans are a very different story um not not a not a totally
00:52:50.900net positive aspect to some you know some of south florida as a south florida resident myself but
00:52:56.580But they are much better immigrants than the majority of people coming.1.00
00:53:01.080You got to watch out for that native population, man.1.00
