Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Over 30k Illegal Immigrants Break Through US Border w-Ed Calderon

00:00:00.000 you you

00:00:04.000 you Happy Friday everybody!

00:00:34.000 This country seems to be on fire in a bunch of different ways.

00:00:37.000 And that fire is burning brightly today.

00:00:40.000 We have a new story that apparently 30,000 Haitian illegal immigrants entered the country.

00:00:46.000 A bunch of them are missing.

00:00:47.000 17,000 are apparently being allowed to stay.

00:00:50.000 And I guess what happens, you get enough of these people at the border, the government panics because of the bad press and says, just let them all in.

00:00:55.000 Just let them do whatever they want.

00:00:56.000 Just make the pictures go away.

00:00:58.000 It's kind of where we're at.

00:00:59.000 So you know what?

00:00:59.000 We're going to talk a lot about that stuff because we're hanging out with Ed Calderon and you're an expert, man.

00:01:05.000 Do you want to introduce yourself?

00:01:06.000 Yeah, sure.

00:01:07.000 My name is Ed.

00:01:09.000 I worked for the Mexican government for about 12 years doing counter-narcotics work, working against people traffickers, working against cartels, and specifically kind of spending a lot of time and experiencing the border on the southern side of it, you know, looking at some of these problems firsthand.

00:01:27.000 Um, currently we're working, train people across the country from Border Patrol to FBI, Secret Service, uh, people that just want to be safe.

00:01:35.000 And a lot of the things that I, uh, showcase and kind of show people are directly related to that experience that I had down there.

00:01:42.000 And there's apparently like, I don't, I don't, I don't know if this is too off the beat path, but you're mentioning like weird occult stuff too, like stuff that goes on down there with like unsolved murders.

00:01:42.000 So.

00:01:54.000 I do training for law enforcement stateside related to Mexican occultism and criminal occultism.

00:02:01.000 We'll talk about that.

00:02:01.000 That's going to be fun.

00:02:02.000 Sure.

00:02:04.000 Basically showing them the current versions and symbology and trends as far as Santa Muerte, the veneration of Malverde, which is like a Mexican Robin Hood. 0.82

00:02:14.000 to how some of these groups utilize some of these things in a ritualistic fashion to create fear in their enemies or to initiate people within their ranks by having them do crazy things like eating somebody's heart.

00:02:28.000 Right on.

00:02:29.000 Well, that sounds like it'll be a fun conversation.

00:02:30.000 I'm glad you're here.

00:02:33.000 Hey, good to see you, buddy.

00:02:34.000 Ian Crossland, happy to be here.

00:02:37.000 Yeah, I'm in the corner as well.

00:02:39.000 I was just texting with one of my friends.

00:02:40.000 He's like, yo, I'm at this class with Ed Calderon.

00:05:11.000 One of them is really simple, it's called The Green Room.

00:05:13.000 When guests show up, we got people hanging out in The Green Room, we just film it.

00:05:16.000 And so a lot of the conversation is weird and you wouldn't expect it because it's not particularly, like, mainstream news.

00:05:23.000 It might be talking about just history, philosophy, maybe weird sci-fi stuff, and just TV shows.

00:05:29.000 It's just fun.

00:05:30.000 And the next one is our mystery show.

00:05:32.000 We haven't released the name of it yet, but we do, I believe, have one episode done already, and we're ready to launch the introduction of the show.

00:05:39.000 They will be on the website.

00:05:49.000 And don't forget to like this video, subscribe to the channel, share the show with your friends.

00:05:52.000 Now let's talk about what's going on in the news with this border crisis.

00:05:57.000 We got this story from the Daily Mail.

00:05:58.000 Mayorkas admits 30,000 Haitian migrants entered the U.S.

00:06:02.000 as Del Rio Camp is finally cleared.

00:06:05.000 Homeland Security boss doubles previous figure as he revealed 17,400 are applying to stay.

00:06:08.000 8,000 have been deported but 2,600 are missing.

00:06:14.000 Apparently, there's a bunch of Chilean and Brazilian IDs these guys have.

00:06:14.000 Now, here's the crazy thing.

00:06:18.000 So, they were saying these are refugees.

00:06:20.000 Like, oh no, there was an earthquake in Haiti.

00:06:21.000 They're refugees.

00:06:22.000 What's happened here?

00:06:23.000 So, they've already been given refugee status by another country.

00:06:27.000 That's why they have the IDs, which is an interesting, you know... I don't know a lot about immigration law here.

00:06:34.000 Being an immigrant myself, I did a little research, but they were already given refugee status by another country.

00:06:41.000 So that's why they have those IDs.

00:06:43.000 Those are part of their packages to be given that status in those countries.

00:06:49.000 So do you know the specific details about why they're coming here?

00:06:51.000 Just economic migration?

00:06:54.000 I mean, so things are economically, they're pretty bad in a lot of places in South America.

00:06:58.000 Um, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of Haitians actually stayed in Mexico, for example, and a lot of them were given, given the refugee status in Mexico.

00:07:05.000 Um, after Trump lost the elections and after Biden came into power, there, there, there was a massive kind of like a Spike and chatter and conversations in some of these Facebook groups attached to the migrant caravan groups that are out there.

00:07:23.000 That's how they communicate.

00:07:25.000 And the main narrative that was pushed forth is that the doors are open.

00:07:29.000 Come now.

00:07:30.000 You were saying before the show, there's like massive networks of Facebook groups that are all like organized just to get people across the border.

00:07:37.000 And it's interesting, I mean, they're kind of automated, like, as soon as something changes or shifts, like, they're, oh, don't go to Tijuana this time, go to, go through Texas.

00:07:46.000 Don't go to, don't go through California, go to Texas now.

00:07:49.000 That's modern warfare.

00:07:50.000 Having a bunch of network groups automated to tell people, you know, oh, hey, now, now, like, to push a message that triggers a reaction.

00:08:00.000 And then what happens is you got to think about fourth and fifth generation of warfare, which you cite very often.

00:08:05.000 But in today's day and age, you can't send a plane with a bomber.

00:08:07.000 You can't send a fighter.

00:08:08.000 You're going to spark an actual hot kinetic war. 0.99

00:08:10.000 But you can send disruptive forces.

00:08:12.000 You can disrupt local economies.

00:08:14.000 You can spread political ideology.

00:08:16.000 Or you can create a migrant crisis, which exhausts our resources.

00:08:22.000 You see a script being handed out to these people as far as what they need to say.

00:08:28.000 You see advice to people.

00:08:30.000 Oh, if you can't make the trip but you have young children, have your children make the trip for you so they can later on claim you and chain migration can happen.

00:08:39.000 How does chain migration work?

00:08:41.000 If I get granted citizenship, I can then ask for my parents to also be granted... So you can sponsor people? 0.98

00:08:50.000 So if you, as a legal citizen, right?

00:08:52.000 Let's say you know somebody who lives in the Philippines.

00:08:56.000 You could sponsor them and assume, I think it's 10 years of financial liability for the individual, and it makes it substantially easier for them to come.

00:09:04.000 Not perfectly easy, but substantially easier for them.

00:09:07.000 So you get these kids that'll come.

00:09:09.000 The parents will bring their kids.

00:09:10.000 Once the kids are old enough, they say, I sponsor my parents.

00:09:13.000 If the person who's sponsored accrues any public debt, then the person who sponsored them has to pay for it.

00:09:18.000 So you basically can just Is it easier to sponsor family than friends?

00:09:22.000 Yeah.

00:09:23.000 Yeah.

00:09:23.000 It's hard to sponsor friends.

00:09:24.000 And a lot of these kids that you see on the border that are being smuggled over, I mean, they're not, they're not, they're not voluntarily taking the trip.

00:09:30.000 You know, um, there's a few videos out there.

00:09:33.000 I've actually posted some of those videos on my, on my Instagram account, which shows them.

00:09:37.000 They're clearly being, I mean, uh, we had some medical professionals comment on there.

00:09:41.000 I don't know.

00:09:42.000 Uh, that's my, not my field, but I'm actually experiencing people under the effects of things like hypno.

00:09:48.000 Wow.

00:09:48.000 What's it called?

00:09:50.000 Roofies.

00:09:51.000 I've seen people and the effects of that with the lack of dilation.

00:09:56.000 So why do you think this weird stuff is happening where they're giving out scripts and they're sending out these mass messages?

00:10:00.000 I mean, it seems to be like an organized attempt on just moving a bunch of people into this country. 0.94

00:10:07.000 And when I say organized attempt, I was in Tijuana for the first caravan when it hit there.

00:10:14.000 And it was clearly organized.

00:10:16.000 People are being transported.

00:10:18.000 Organizers were being paid in dollars.

00:10:21.000 The camps were being set up in certain places and were being completely supplied and funded by people from California driving down and giving them supplies.

00:10:30.000 With this current version of it, you see people waiting on the other side of the border for some of these people as soon as they cross and getting basically distributed across the country.

00:10:43.000 You see people on the southern border of Mexico, as soon as they cross, basically catch them with buses and organizing their transport on the way up.

00:10:52.000 So there's a logistic, there's a whole, it's a whole logistical process that's being organized by somebody.

00:10:57.000 Are they bringing them from South America or are they there waiting to catch them when they enter Mexico? 0.71

00:11:01.000 I mean, they are basically, the whole advice that they're given on some of these social media groups is to amass or organizing groups.

00:11:08.000 It's safer for them, right?

00:11:11.000 Different than it was with the last Honduran kind of mostly Honduran migrant caravan.

00:11:16.000 One of the reasons they avoided going to through the central part of Mexico into Texas was because most of the members of this caravan were actually 18th Street gang members.

00:11:26.000 Which traditionally have a rivalry with the 13 Mara Salvatrucha people.

00:11:31.000 So that's why they went all the way through California to avoid that.

00:11:36.000 But these guys are Haitians so they don't have that problem.

00:11:40.000 Chilean Haitians.

00:11:42.000 They don't have that problem so that's why they went straight into that spot.

00:11:48.000 Any ideas why they're trying to get all these people to come to the US? 0.62

00:11:51.000 I mean, I know the people on the internet have a lot of ideas.

00:11:53.000 I mean, it's an interesting way of disrupting your economy.

00:11:57.000 Enemies?

00:11:59.000 I mean, you have enemies abroad.

00:12:01.000 You have people sending chemists to show cartel groups how to make fentanyl in Mexico.

00:12:08.000 You have fentanyl-laced heroin exploding all across this country and it's being produced in Mexico.

00:12:15.000 And you have a cartel group in Mexico that grew exponentially during the COVID epidemic.

00:12:20.000 And the only reason it did so was because it had access to the Pacific side seaports and an open relationship with a supplier from China.

00:12:28.000 So I don't... That's what I was going to ask, China. 0.91

00:12:30.000 Seems obvious.

00:12:31.000 It's pretty... A lot of people in Mexico that observe these things closely.

00:12:36.000 And I have a lot of friends that are still active.

00:12:39.000 It sort of feels more and more like China planned our downfall 50 years ago, and we're, like, catching it at the last minute. 0.97

00:12:46.000 It's too late.

00:12:47.000 I mean, from my experience looking at some of these things progressing, you see this new cartel down there, the Cartel de Jalisco de Nueva Generación, the New Generation Cartel.

00:13:03.000 A lot of videos of them on social media where they have all this military equipment and they're raising their rifles and stuff like that.

00:13:10.000 They are expanding at a dramatic rate across the country and people can't figure out how it is possible for these groups to be expanding.

00:13:20.000 And they're like, well, I mean, they're a violent group and they have connections in Mexico and Mexico.

00:13:24.000 They're obviously a proxy group for somebody externally.

00:13:28.000 And then you realize that on the state side, these criminal groups are using Chinese banking apps to hide their money to send back to Mexico.

00:13:39.000 And also, fentanyl.

00:13:40.000 Just the massive amounts of fentanyl being brought into Mexico and now being produced in Mexico.

00:13:46.000 People say, oh, criminal groups in China are smuggling it out.

00:13:52.000 That's not how China works.

00:13:55.000 There's not a secret Chinese criminal enterprise that doesn't talk to the government out there.

00:14:04.000 If it's coming out of China, the Chinese state knows about it.

00:14:09.000 Legalized weed brought fields of classically planted marijuana fields turned into poppy fields in Mexico.

00:14:17.000 Whoa.

00:14:18.000 And somebody figured that... So we got to legalize opiates now, so that the fields will turn into what?

00:14:25.000 I mean, so the heroin out there is not that strong, not like the Afghani stuff.

00:14:30.000 So they laced it with fentanyl.

00:14:33.000 So they legalized weed in Mexico and then they started planting opiate?

00:14:33.000 Wow.

00:14:37.000 As soon as you saw the legalization of weed in California, some of the crops changed into poppy.

00:14:42.000 And this is around the time of the prescription opiate epidemic and how it was kind of waning down.

00:14:47.000 And they were ready for something else.

00:14:49.000 And that something else was fentanyl-laced heroin.

00:14:52.000 And now the new thing is bogus pain medication laced with fentanyl.

00:14:57.000 So now you're finding weird pill presses in Mexico and they're manufacturing something that looks like a... But this is killing their own customers.

00:15:06.000 That is the suspicious part of it.

00:15:08.000 Classically, cartels didn't behave that way.

00:15:11.000 Sinaloa cartel wouldn't behave that way.

00:15:14.000 But this is a new breed of militarized narco insurgency that is probably a proxy group of somebody outside of the country.

00:15:22.000 China!

00:15:23.000 I don't know.

00:15:24.000 That's the Opium Wars. 0.53

00:15:25.000 Come on, who else would it be?

00:15:27.000 They played a long game, and I mean, the Opium Wars technically ended 170 years ago, but I don't think they ever ended.

00:15:32.000 They don't want to get back, you know?

00:15:33.000 Yeah, I heard that with Afghanistan, that the Taliban shut down the poppy fields, but then as soon as we came back in, we started them back up. 0.94

00:15:40.000 Is that true?

00:15:40.000 I don't know if that's true.

00:15:42.000 I don't have any experience in the Middle East.

00:15:44.000 I do have friends that were out there, and they say that, you know, that was part of the actions of the U.S.

00:15:50.000 in Afghanistan, was to protect some of those fields.

00:15:52.000 Wow.

00:15:53.000 There's images of American troops in poppy fields.

00:15:56.000 I imagined that they were real.

00:15:57.000 I don't know.

00:15:58.000 Now, you mentioned that when legalized marijuana came to the States, a lot of these fields turned to poppy.

00:16:06.000 I was down in Mexico, this is almost two years ago now, and I heard from a lot of people that when marijuana became legal and they couldn't make money off it, they started just hijacking avocado companies.

00:16:17.000 Yeah.

00:16:17.000 That's true?

00:16:19.000 Well, not just hijacking, but paid protection.

00:16:23.000 So Mexico has cartel groups, not just one.

00:16:26.000 They have several.

00:16:27.000 They have a few big ones.

00:16:29.000 But one of the ways they operate and one of the ways they make money is not just selling drugs or trafficking drugs to the U.S.

00:16:35.000 They also control a large, local, giant drug market.

00:16:40.000 And abductions for ransom and paid protection rackets.

00:16:45.000 We recently had somebody get a pipe bomb for their birthday because he refused to pay for protection in the state of Guanajuato.

00:16:52.000 Protection from them.

00:16:53.000 From the cartels.

00:16:53.000 From themselves.

00:16:54.000 Yeah.

00:16:55.000 So what you saw with some of these avocado orchards and some of the auto defenses or the self-defense groups that grew out of some of these conflicts out there.

00:17:05.000 They would go to an avocado orchard.

00:17:06.000 See, avocados in Mexico and the industry around them are just multi-million dollar industries.

00:17:11.000 They grow on trees, right?

00:17:12.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:17:13.000 But there's like a lot of them down there.

00:17:15.000 Wow.

00:17:16.000 I would love to have an avocado tree.

00:17:18.000 That'd be awesome.

00:17:18.000 That'd be pretty great.

00:17:21.000 They said, oh, this is a good business you have here.

00:17:26.000 It would be a shame if somebody burned it all down or abducted you.

00:17:30.000 So give us money to protect you.

00:17:33.000 That's how it works.

00:17:35.000 And the cops, there's no cops.

00:17:37.000 The cartels are the police.

00:17:39.000 So I mean, that's in some areas in Mexico.

00:17:42.000 So, what's the difference?

00:17:44.000 They come to you and say, if you don't pay up, we'll drag you out of your house at gunpoint?

00:17:47.000 Sounds the same here.

00:17:48.000 You know, pay your taxes.

00:17:50.000 No, I'm kidding.

00:17:50.000 Not paying taxes in the U.S.

00:17:51.000 is a civil violation, I guess.

00:17:52.000 Yeah.

00:17:53.000 But, I mean, let me ask you, though.

00:17:55.000 If the cartel shows up and says, you're gonna pay us to protect you, and you say, okay, here's the money, they'll actually protect you from criminals and... Yeah, it's true.

00:18:03.000 I mean, I had the surreal experience of driving on a road in Sinaloa that was cartel-made better than the public roads, right?

00:18:12.000 So during the COVID epidemic, on the news, not even on the news, just the social media, you would see the cartels handing out supplies to people, you know?

00:18:12.000 Of course.

00:18:22.000 You would see cartels enforcing mask mandates in some places.

00:18:26.000 If we find you without a mask outside, we'll get you with a board.

00:18:30.000 Wow.

00:18:32.000 That's one way to enforce a mandate.

00:18:34.000 So they, in a lot of ways, they are the government in some places.

00:18:37.000 I mean, there's no fly zones over some cities because they will put down your helicopter.

00:18:42.000 Wow.

00:18:43.000 So yes, that's the thing with Mexico and the U.S. 0.94

00:18:47.000 as well.

00:18:48.000 The U.S.

00:18:49.000 refuses to recognize that its neighbor is not governed by a single entity.

00:18:53.000 I mean, not publicly, it doesn't say it.

00:18:56.000 It refuses to recognize that Mexico doesn't have a crime problem and has an insurgency problem.

00:19:00.000 And it's not fighting an insurgency group, it's fighting several narco-insurgencies,

00:19:05.000 which meet every single part of a definition of a terrorist group.

00:19:10.000 I mean, if somebody sends you a pipe bomb for your birthday, what is that group doing?

00:19:16.000 Yeah.

00:19:17.000 If you don't pay your taxes, that won't happen.

00:19:18.000 You're going to knock on the door and some guy in a suit will be like, you need to pay your taxes.

00:19:22.000 And you'll be like, okay.

00:19:23.000 I'm taking you to court.

00:19:24.000 Okay.

00:19:25.000 I mean, the amount in Jalisco alone has somewhere around 10,000 people that are missing or bodies that were found, clandestine graves.

00:19:35.000 So it's mass graves are found in Mexico.

00:19:37.000 Wow.

00:19:38.000 Because of cartels specifically?

00:19:40.000 I mean, yeah, cartel-specific.

00:19:42.000 You were talking earlier about the Juarez killing fields.

00:19:44.000 I've never heard of these until.

00:19:45.000 Can you explain what those are a little bit?

00:19:47.000 It's a phenomenon that happened in Juarez back in the early 2000s where, you know, basically women were found murdered, raped, and ritualistically killed in a lot of parts in the desert on Juarez.

00:19:57.000 Mostly women that worked in some of the maquiladoras, basically the large industrial plants that work out there. 0.87

00:20:04.000 A lot of weird rumors around that, you know, um, there was a lot of, a lot of the media and the government in Mexico was saying it was cartel related because that's the easiest thing to say.

00:20:13.000 Oh, somebody died.

00:20:14.000 Somebody was killed.

00:20:15.000 He's probably involved in the cartel.

00:20:16.000 That's the way that you just get rid of 90% of most of over 90% of all murders in Mexico were never solved. 0.92

00:20:22.000 So, you know, it's a perfect place for that.

00:20:26.000 At what point does a gang become a cartel?

00:20:28.000 Like what's the difference really?

00:20:30.000 I mean, a cartel specifically, if you're a large enough group where you have influences and or fear on behalf of the police towards you, you're a criminal enterprise.

00:20:41.000 If you tax people to start their businesses where you control, if you are in control of a drug route up into the United States, or if you traffic drugs yourself, I think you're kind of there.

00:20:52.000 I guess the definition of a cartel has to do with merchandising, manufacturing, and distribution.

00:20:59.000 So I guess if you're going back to like the old trope of the mafia, that was just the local group being like, you're gonna pay us, so we're gonna smash your face up, we'll protect you, you know, protection racket, that's more like mob stuff.

00:21:10.000 But with the cartels, it's specifically around the products and the manufacturing and the distribution.

00:21:13.000 So I guess a lot for a lot of drugs.

00:21:15.000 I think specifically, one thing I've always tried to do is just tell people to realize that these guys are defining themselves now.

00:21:22.000 I mean, it's a whole new definition.

00:21:25.000 Well, Trump wanted to send the army down.

00:21:27.000 Remember that?

00:21:27.000 U.S. that wants to not label them a terrorist organization, probably because of immigration.

00:21:32.000 Well Trump wanted to send the army down.

00:21:34.000 Remember that?

00:21:35.000 Yeah, but I think it was a pressure thing they did to Mexico to try to get them to enforce

00:21:40.000 their own borders.

00:21:42.000 So I think the only reason why you won't label the cartels a terrorist organization is because

00:21:48.000 now people fleeing from Mexico have a legal claim to asylum.

00:21:52.000 Because now they're leaving a terrorist group that the U.S.

00:21:55.000 in some way, shape, or form... But the reality is, if they are acting like a terrorist group, then those people really are fleeing.

00:22:02.000 Well, I mean, there's ghost towns in Mexico, people that fled cartel terrorism, basically.

00:22:09.000 This is crazy to me, like, it's self-destructive.

00:22:12.000 I mean, why would the cartels do something that would negatively impact the economy that they want to benefit from?

00:22:19.000 Yeah, again, these groups get formed, grow, leadership gets killed, one cartel turns into two, a 40-year-old cartel head is now a 25-year-old guy after the other guy got killed, and it's a chaotic thing.

00:22:37.000 We talk a lot about the COVID stuff.

00:22:41.000 I don't want to get into specifics of COVID, but basically like a virus.

00:22:44.000 We've talked about how Ebola is a bad virus in that it's so extreme that people become debilitated or get quarantined or noticeably sick, and that limits the ability for it to spread.

00:22:56.000 And the viruses that are quote-unquote good or successful are the ones that your body doesn't react to.

00:23:02.000 So the virus infects every single human possible and flourishes and lives on because it's not causing too much damage.

00:23:07.000 I think about these cartels and I'm like, if you've got a town and people are doing stuff, you can extract, you can steal from those people, but there's a fine line, right?

00:23:16.000 It's the goose that, it's killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

00:23:19.000 And so you eventually find out, you know, this story reminds me of, or like is similar, I guess, to like the virus.

00:23:25.000 They become so extreme They burn out the area cause everyone to flee and there's

00:23:28.000 nothing left to get and then they have to leave There's nothing there for any for them anymore. Yeah, I

00:23:32.000 mean Sinaloa the state of sinaloa and culiacan specifically is a

00:23:36.000 pretty good example of the of you know How some of these cartels classically operate?

00:23:40.000 The mexican president went to sinaloa and shook hands with el chapo's mom and talked to his lawyer

00:23:49.000 And then later, a few years later, two years later, he went and did a meeting with the local poppy and weed growers, like this televised with the, with the head of the, the, of the, of the security of the army next to him and said, people are bringing fentanyl from China and, All these chemicals, like, what about the poppy field growers?

00:24:10.000 And what about the weed growers?

00:24:11.000 Like, what about us?

00:24:12.000 We need to support the local kind, right?

00:24:15.000 That's great.

00:24:16.000 Which president was that?

00:24:17.000 That was Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

00:24:19.000 Really?

00:24:19.000 Wow.

00:24:19.000 Him, huh?

00:24:20.000 He's a pro-Maduro, pro-Venezuela guy.

00:24:23.000 He's way to the left.

00:24:25.000 I heard that he does these things in the morning where he comes out onto his balcony and starts yelling to the people.

00:24:29.000 Is that true?

00:24:31.000 He does that every Mexican Independence Day.

00:24:34.000 What he does is a thing called Los Mañaneros, which is basically goes on a rant for about an hour of different subjects.

00:24:41.000 You know, the last one was he was demanding for Spain to apologize for the conquest, you know?

00:24:49.000 What?

00:24:49.000 Wow.

00:24:51.000 I mean, most Mexicans are a mixture of native and Spanish.

00:24:55.000 We're all kind of mixed, you know?

00:24:56.000 Yeah.

00:24:58.000 It's a weird thing to kind of focus on when the country's burning, you know?

00:25:01.000 So let me ask you about the border, man.

00:25:04.000 When you heard this large man with orange skin and swirly blonde hair say, build a wall, what was your initial reaction with your experience being on the border?

00:25:15.000 The fence, because it was a fence, not a wall.

00:25:19.000 The fence had already been built up and was already kind of highly secure in places like the border between Tijuana and San Diego.

00:25:29.000 And drug prices, specifically cocaine, have been stable for 30 years.

00:25:32.000 So it means that that doesn't realistic.

00:25:34.000 As far as a safety feature for the United States, it's a counter narcotic feature or safety to keep the bad people out.

00:25:43.000 Isn't there like a point where the fence just goes to the water and you can just go around it?

00:25:47.000 Yes, there is.

00:25:48.000 And there's always a, there's a bunch of border patrol there and you know, they'll, they'll tackle you if you, if you try it.

00:25:53.000 They throw you back on the other side or what?

00:25:54.000 No, they'll tackle you, they'll put you in a processing center, and then put you on a bus, and then you'll be walked across San Ysidro probably in a few... Like, right now, the way things are?

00:26:02.000 Like, it's the next day, I think, you know?

00:26:04.000 Doesn't that seem insane?

00:26:05.000 That, like, you're on one side of the fence, and you walk over, and they grab you, and then do all of this crazy administrative work instead of just pushing you back and back together?

00:26:12.000 Yeah, no, I just want to grab you and process you and then send you back, which is an amazing drain of resources.

00:26:17.000 Right.

00:26:18.000 Another thing, like right now during the whole Haitian push into the U.S., a lot of the checkpoints around the area that were usually manned for counter-narcotic interdiction stuff, completely abandoned.

00:26:34.000 And you hear chatter on the southern side of the border with some of the guys that are, you know, crossing the border not to migrate, but with loads on their backs.

00:26:42.000 It's Christmas.

00:26:43.000 Wait, wait, wait, so U.S.

00:26:45.000 Border Patrol is not manning these... U.S.

00:26:47.000 Border Patrol abandoned most of their posts, specifically some of their, you know, some of their roadblocks that they have, and also some of the counter-narcotic interdiction stuff that they usually do in some places.

00:27:00.000 A lot of these places where ghost towns are abandoned because they were all concentrated on that specific border area.

00:27:08.000 And also just hearing some of the conversations here and some of the people that I used to work with on the south side of the border, they're all saying it's Navidad, it's Christmas, you know?

00:27:17.000 The cats are away.

00:27:18.000 Are they walking across the border?

00:27:20.000 Are they going through tunnels?

00:27:21.000 Are they sending drones across?

00:27:22.000 All of it.

00:27:24.000 I found one of the first drones that ever crashed in Tijuana when I was active.

00:27:29.000 Is this the Biden administration?

00:27:31.000 Or just the borders open?

00:27:34.000 The borders open.

00:27:35.000 The borders open and also these massive immigration influx into the United States put most of your already outstretched resources into a single spot, which means it's Christmas for trafficking Everywhere else. 0.96

00:27:50.000 Yeah.

00:27:51.000 Bullets and guns from the north to the south and cash.

00:27:56.000 This country is being strangled out.

00:27:58.000 Yeah.

00:27:59.000 Strangled.

00:28:01.000 There's a pillow over the face of America right now.

00:28:01.000 Slowed demise.

00:28:04.000 And again, this border crisis is making millions and millions of dollars for people that are just waiting for the cat to go, you know, to be busy somewhere else.

00:28:16.000 You know, this is tunnels.

00:28:18.000 There's somewhere, I mean, somewhere over 50 to 60 active tunnels on the border.

00:28:25.000 I talked about fully submersibles way back in the day.

00:28:27.000 Nobody believed me about those.

00:28:28.000 Those have already been found.

00:28:30.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:28:31.000 They're using submarines to smuggle stuff and people and... Drugs.

00:28:37.000 Drugs.

00:28:37.000 You wouldn't use something as valuable as a fully submersible submarine for people because then the people have a tendency to talk, you know?

00:28:43.000 I came here in a submarine.

00:28:46.000 uh but yeah fully submersibles uh drones uh like squadron of drones um catapults small catapult oh i heard these stories they launch them over the trebuchets that's the first time i when i saw one i saw one in mexicali and i saw and i was like That's a trebuchet.

00:29:04.000 How do you know that word?

00:29:06.000 I watched the JPBS ones.

00:29:08.000 I think I learned about them.

00:29:10.000 And so they're flinging drugs over.

00:29:11.000 They fling drug loads over.

00:29:13.000 The RC cars, electric controlled remote cars, RC cars just speed out there.

00:29:18.000 Drones, tunnels, people that have border crossing cards, like there's a sentry program in places like Baja, where people that cross the border regularly get extra verified by the US.

00:29:32.000 and cartels are aware of this so they see oh you're a sentry pass guy let me put some load on the bottom of your car because you're already trusted traveler and that's an easy way to get drugs into the country.

00:29:42.000 It's like that thing that kids do when you're like shopping at a 7-eleven and then your friend puts a candy bar in your hood so you don't know it's happening and you walk just like normally out of the store and you're not acting suspicious and the kid walks up and it's like yeah!

00:29:54.000 Yeah, that only with a, you know, key of coke.

00:29:58.000 You know, that happens a lot on the border.

00:30:01.000 A kilogram of Coca-Cola.

00:30:02.000 Yeah, just a two liter, I guess, right?

00:30:04.000 Yeah, some sugar.

00:30:05.000 It's it's a it's a classic story that a lot of people get caught like that.

00:30:09.000 And it's again, these guys are just looking for holes in the already whole written wall.

00:30:17.000 So Trump was right.

00:30:20.000 He was right about what?

00:30:21.000 Securing the border, in general.

00:30:23.000 I mean, securing the border... Specifically, so what you're saying is Trump is correct and we should build a big, beautiful 30-foot concrete wall from sea to shining sea?

00:30:31.000 I mean, I think a wall's not feasible.

00:30:34.000 I'm kidding.

00:30:35.000 But I mean, like, in terms of, like, focusing on the border and saying we've got serious problems here.

00:30:38.000 Yeah, so there's serious problems with things coming from the U.S.

00:30:42.000 That's part of the issue.

00:30:42.000 into Mexico.

00:30:43.000 It's not just things coming into the... Oh, what's happening the other way?

00:30:46.000 Kidnappings?

00:30:47.000 Bullets, guns...

00:30:49.000 Well, to be fair, Obama gave those people those guns, so that was a fair deal.

00:30:53.000 That's the Fast and Furious program.

00:30:55.000 It was bad, but... That's like CIA delivering weapons to... I mean, I don't know a lot about the Fast and Furious on the U.S.

00:31:01.000 I just know it was a program started by the Bush administration, specifically, and then continued on with the Obama administration.

00:31:01.000 side.

00:31:07.000 Two of my friends were killed by some of those guns.

00:31:09.000 Wow.

00:31:10.000 FN-57 pistols.

00:31:11.000 One of them was coming out of his house with his daughter in the backseat and his wife.

00:31:17.000 Him and his wife got killed and the daughter lost an arm.

00:31:21.000 The kids that shot them had FN-57 pistols.

00:31:24.000 18 and 19 year olds.

00:31:27.000 You were working border security for Mexico, though.

00:31:30.000 I was not working border security.

00:31:32.000 I was working generalized regional security, basically.

00:31:34.000 But a lot of our work was basically working against people that were trying to get stuff through the border or trying to get things from the U.S.

00:31:41.000 How does that work with the cartels, then, right?

00:31:43.000 Because the government's certainly not in complete control.

00:31:46.000 No.

00:31:47.000 I mean, realistically, there's no border security in Mexico.

00:31:52.000 There's a place where people cross by and there's border agents, but they're looking for taxable goods.

00:31:58.000 They're not looking for... Every now and then they'll get contraband.

00:32:02.000 People trying to smuggle guns or bullets in.

00:32:04.000 But they're realistically not looking to secure the border on the Mexican side.

00:32:09.000 And the government itself has a case of amnesia every six years when the new president comes in, everything gets, you know, all this was successful, this was failure, everything's bad, get rid of all of it.

00:32:19.000 I'm going to start this new thing.

00:32:21.000 And they just change the name of the police, change the uniform, and same corrupt people come in.

00:32:25.000 Yeah, they're right on.

00:32:27.000 Why give up?

00:32:28.000 It's cash.

00:32:29.000 All their pockets are getting greased, right?

00:32:30.000 That's the thing.

00:32:31.000 And it's, I mean, I went through two terms of that, basically 12 years working down there.

00:32:37.000 It's unwinnable.

00:32:39.000 Do you think there's any value to the U.S.

00:32:40.000 and of Mexico and the U.S.

00:32:42.000 of America to become one country?

00:32:44.000 The whole concept of an American, a North American union?

00:32:49.000 Well, I mean, I think the U.S.

00:32:50.000 needs to realize, I mean, I hear a lot of people just close the border, you know, just pull the wall, close the border.

00:32:55.000 That's the second largest trade partner, right?

00:32:59.000 We could, however, if we annex Canada and Mexico, conscript the Canadians to fight the cartels for us. 0.78

00:33:05.000 Yeah, sure.

00:33:06.000 Just send them down there. 0.98

00:33:07.000 Put down the FN-570!

00:33:11.000 Well, it's another funny thing.

00:33:13.000 When Trump was in the presidency and the border was a bit harder to get across, people smugglers would just fly people to Canada.

00:33:26.000 Oh, really?

00:33:27.000 Yeah, that was one of the ways they would just fly people to Canada and they'd just walk down.

00:33:31.000 That's clever.

00:33:33.000 There are places in Canada where you can see these videos on Reddit where it's like there'll be like a teenager standing in between the US-Canadian border and it's just like a chain going across like two orange posts and there's no one anywhere near it.

00:33:48.000 There's one part where, I think it's in Minnesota, Where it's the honor system, you drive in, pull up to a booth, go up to the booth, like it's like a little shack, you go inside, pick up the phone and say, hi, you give me your name and say I'm entering the country and say, OK, thank you.

00:34:00.000 And then you hang up and then you drive.

00:34:02.000 Yeah, that will never happen, I think, on the southern border.

00:34:06.000 But it's an interesting thing.

00:34:07.000 I mean, it feels like it's worse.

00:34:09.000 Well, people just walking through like they don't even have the phone call.

00:34:12.000 They don't have a phone call.

00:34:13.000 Yeah, there's there's videos.

00:34:15.000 There's trail videos and rancher videos in Texas of What if, like, what if somebody has property up against the border and then they see some dude with, like, an AK coming from the border crossing onto their property?

00:34:24.000 basically armed cartel groups in Texas just you know moving around and just

00:34:29.000 coming back and what if what if like what if somebody has property up against

00:34:34.000 the border and then they see some dude with like an AK coming from the border

00:34:38.000 crossing onto their property I mean do they have a right to defend their

00:34:40.000 property and stop this guy's like I mean I think they do have a right to defend

00:34:43.000 their property and they have the means if they're in Texas The problem is that these people can get to you.

00:34:49.000 Yeah.

00:34:50.000 These people have a reach and their reach isn't dependent on them crossing the border.

00:34:55.000 Another weird myth that Americans have is that, oh, we don't want that.

00:34:59.000 They're coming into this country. 1.00

00:35:01.000 They want the cartels here.

00:35:02.000 They're coming.

00:35:02.000 They have been here for years.

00:35:06.000 They have blood ties in this country.

00:35:09.000 They're in the military.

00:35:11.000 They're in the border patrol.

00:35:12.000 They're in politics, apparently.

00:35:15.000 They're everywhere.

00:35:20.000 The border fence and the border itself, they crossed it years back.

00:35:27.000 Places like Chicago, places like L.A.

00:35:30.000 When they legalized weed, some of these groups had already gone into the, you know, they were already producing weed, right?

00:35:37.000 So, they went into the legal weed and the legal weed industry.

00:35:41.000 They did both.

00:35:42.000 They were growing illegal weed in federal lands on the US side.

00:35:45.000 Wow.

00:35:45.000 So, they are here.

00:35:49.000 Like, I hear a lot of people talking about military intervention in Mexico.

00:35:52.000 It's not Afghanistan. 0.67

00:35:54.000 It's not Iraq. 0.92

00:35:56.000 It's right there and also it's right here.

00:35:59.000 If that happens, it's going to be an interesting conflict because I don't think it's going to be like any conflict this country has ever fought.

00:36:08.000 Specifically, it's going to be really close.

00:36:10.000 I mean, they have presence.

00:36:12.000 Many of these cartels have a presence in all the big cities.

00:36:15.000 I know there's graffiti all over Chicago.

00:36:18.000 In New York, there was some big story 10 years ago about MS-13 operating in New York City.

00:36:22.000 So, yeah, man.

00:36:24.000 I mean, it's scary.

00:36:27.000 And also the fact that Mexico has a lot of problems.

00:36:31.000 But it also has a lot of resources.

00:36:32.000 Right.

00:36:33.000 Including one of the largest mineable lithium deposits on the planet.

00:36:33.000 Yeah.

00:36:39.000 Really?

00:36:39.000 Yeah.

00:36:40.000 Are they mining it?

00:36:42.000 They should just splash water on it.

00:36:43.000 Well, there was a Canadian company owned by China that wanted to buy some of those mining rights, and that ended pretty quickly.

00:36:49.000 And then right around the area where some of this stuff is, is where the Mormon massacre happened down there, which is an interesting coincidence.

00:36:56.000 When was that?

00:36:57.000 Oh, that was about two years ago.

00:36:59.000 Yeah, recent.

00:37:01.000 Which is crazy because isn't that a Star Trek episode?

00:37:05.000 What?

00:37:06.000 That like Mormons from Earth go find another planet and then like an alien race kills them and there's an incident where they go and investigate this Mormon massacre. 0.79

00:37:13.000 Are we talking about Next Generation?

00:37:15.000 Next Generation, yeah.

00:37:16.000 I've been thinking about that show today.

00:37:18.000 I was into that when I was a kid.

00:37:19.000 I'm sorry.

00:37:20.000 Who would you be?

00:37:21.000 Maybe I'm misremembered.

00:37:23.000 Riker.

00:37:24.000 You look like him too.

00:37:25.000 Riker all the way.

00:37:26.000 Number one.

00:37:27.000 Riker and I would get some of the data arms, you know, just crush people.

00:37:33.000 Okay, I'm confirming what you're talking about the lithium mine in Sonora largest deposit with proven probable reserves reserves of 243.8 million tons of probable reserves about four and a half million tons of lithium as of 2019.

00:37:45.000 If the US actually goes in there and into Mexico, I think it's not going to be about regime change or cartels or terrorism is going to be about making batteries.

00:37:53.000 Yeah.

00:37:54.000 You guys ever put water on lithium?

00:37:55.000 No, I think I've seen heaven explodes, right?

00:37:57.000 Yeah, it rips the hydrogen out of the water, I guess, or the oxygen out, I can't remember.

00:38:03.000 And then it heats up really, really quickly and starts on fire.

00:38:06.000 That's the craziest thing.

00:38:07.000 Splashing water starts on fire.

00:38:09.000 But this is like grade school, high school science class stuff.

00:38:13.000 Every now and then you'll see somebody with a smartphone with an old battery.

00:38:17.000 Boom.

00:38:18.000 So when you were doing security, you're out on the border, are you spending a lot of time out in the middle of nowhere in the desert and stuff?

00:38:23.000 Yeah, sometimes, yeah.

00:38:24.000 Have you ever seen any aliens?

00:38:26.000 I saw a few U.S.

00:38:27.000 drones flying places where they shouldn't be flying.

00:38:29.000 I was only asking, what I want to say is, like, have you experienced, like, weird things?

00:38:34.000 Creepy things?

00:38:35.000 Yeah, I assume the answer is yes, right?

00:38:37.000 But I don't want to make this, like, obviously, like, Bigfoot or Chupacabra.

00:38:41.000 No, I mean, like, literally, like, have there been, like, weird people?

00:38:43.000 Have you, like, seen operations happening?

00:38:45.000 And weird stuff, like aliens.

00:38:49.000 Weird calls from high up people, you know, telling us to, you know, deliver certain people that shouldn't be arrested, you know.

00:39:00.000 Corruption.

00:39:01.000 Corruption of some sort, but on both sides.

00:39:03.000 Or undercover operations.

00:39:04.000 Could be, who knows.

00:39:09.000 Seeing armed Americans in Mexico working.

00:39:14.000 Whoa.

00:39:14.000 Yeah, Americans working in Mexico armed.

00:39:17.000 That's a thing.

00:39:19.000 I've heard stories that, there was one story I was reading about, I don't know if you've read this one, like a journalist went to El Chapo's house or whatever.

00:39:27.000 You ever hear this one?

00:39:27.000 I think this may have been, it's been a long time, but apparently like, Uh, maybe, maybe this is top, maybe this is confidential

00:39:35.000 information.

00:39:35.000 I can't remember anyway, but he was working with Americans.

00:39:37.000 His security were all North American accent guys, like top level,

00:39:41.000 former military, stuff like that.

00:39:42.000 The new generation cartel has a training camp somewhere in Jalisco and American 0.94

00:39:51.000 SF something or other has trained them.

00:39:56.000 So I don't know if it's an official capacity.

00:39:58.000 It can't be an official capacity, but some sort of former military specialized training.

00:40:02.000 That's what you see out there.

00:40:05.000 Has there ever been a moment where you were like crap your pants scared seeing something? 0.87

00:40:10.000 Geiger counter being put into a drug tunnel. 0.96

00:40:14.000 Yeah, what was up with that?

00:40:14.000 And it went off like crazy or what?

00:40:16.000 No, but just the fact that they were testing the Geiger counter on drug tunnels was weird, you know?

00:40:23.000 Like I knew what a Geiger counter was, and I was like, wait, is this some Jack Bauer...

00:40:29.000 Smuggling in nukes? 0.99

00:40:29.000 Shit going on smuggling in who is who is putting the Geiger counter in there? 0.99

00:40:34.000 We just heard it so usually when you would find something like that you would get somebody on the US side 0.99

00:40:39.000 Coming down into it to verify where you know verify the the exit point or sometimes on the Mexican side would go down 1.00

00:40:46.000 into it Like a we found something we're gonna walk, and then we're

00:40:49.000 gonna ping you to see where it leads. You know The military would usually do that.

00:40:55.000 But experiencing some of that and actually seeing somebody, we heard the guy at your counter and I was like, should we not be here?

00:41:01.000 That was like a weird, unknown thing.

00:41:04.000 I mean, I guess the worry by the U.S.

00:41:05.000 government, somebody might kind of put a nuke into the country like that.

00:41:09.000 I don't know.

00:41:10.000 I experienced that once and that was kind of like creepy.

00:41:13.000 How is it that there are all these tunnels that they know about and they're still there, that they haven't like buried them?

00:41:18.000 Like who knows about them?

00:41:19.000 Well, you just said there were like 80 or some that we know about.

00:41:22.000 People talk about somewhere along the lines of 50 to 60 active tunnels on the border.

00:41:27.000 And if they know... I mean, they know they're somewhere.

00:41:30.000 They just don't know how to find them.

00:41:31.000 Or they know how to find them, but they won't do anything to find them.

00:41:34.000 Maybe.

00:41:34.000 I don't know.

00:41:35.000 What if we did a moat and filled it with alligators?

00:41:39.000 I read once in the news that Donald Trump suggested that.

00:41:42.000 Alligator moat?

00:41:43.000 I think it's going to be expensive feeding all those alligators. 0.79

00:41:48.000 Also, Mexicans have a tendency to make stuff out of alligators. 1.00

00:41:54.000 There was a story where they claimed that Trump suggested building an alligator moat. 0.99

00:41:59.000 That's insane.

00:42:01.000 Is that the Babylon Bee or is that real?

00:42:02.000 It's real, yeah.

00:42:04.000 But they just make stuff up.

00:42:05.000 They just make stuff up.

00:42:07.000 Trump could nudge nudge as a joke and be like, you know what we need is some alligators in a moat, right?

00:42:11.000 I'm just kidding.

00:42:12.000 And they'd be like, he said it, it's true.

00:42:19.000 It's a complicated issue.

00:42:21.000 There's no way you can make from sea to shining sea a border wall.

00:42:26.000 I mean, some of the new parts of the border wall have already fallen over.

00:42:31.000 This is the funny thing about when Trump was like, he wanted concrete.

00:42:35.000 The border patrol agents were like, we need to see on the other side.

00:42:37.000 Yeah, we need to be able to see what's coming.

00:42:39.000 Yeah, and he was like, oh, okay.

00:42:40.000 And so then they experimented with, like, half bollard fencing, half concrete, and they were like, you still can't see a lot of it, and then it doesn't make sense.

00:42:47.000 And so they were like, just do a big, multi-layered fence with patrols, and that seems to work.

00:42:52.000 And target key areas, and that seems to work.

00:42:55.000 There's a lot of areas that's, like, really hard to pass anyway, right?

00:42:58.000 Like mountains and rocks and water.

00:42:59.000 Yeah, and also, I mean, what you want if you're a smuggler is to jump over a fence and have a population where you can blend into immediately.

00:43:06.000 That's what you want.

00:43:09.000 Another reason why you wouldn't have a concrete border wall or just a flat steel fence like that is because wind knocks it over.

00:43:16.000 That's the simple reason why that's just not feasible.

00:43:20.000 But even with these new iron slats that they made, I mean there's a bunch of cartel videos and just smuggling videos of them.

00:43:27.000 Actually making their own fake fence and putting it over the real one and putting a hinge to open it up.

00:43:34.000 Or small concealed doors where they just pierce through.

00:43:37.000 So they'll cut it and then replace it with a door. 0.68

00:43:40.000 The door?

00:43:43.000 Jump over it.

00:43:44.000 Rope ladders.

00:43:46.000 You name it, they do it.

00:43:47.000 It's interesting to see that.

00:43:49.000 And again, they say it's to slow people down.

00:43:52.000 We were talking before about you were doing trainings on occult stuff.

00:43:56.000 Yeah.

00:43:57.000 So there's actually a position in which they're like, you need to explain to these agents occult ideology or like symbolism or...

00:44:05.000 There's law enforcement every now and then reaches out.

00:44:09.000 I mean, agencies, local, state, and federal sometimes reach out with questions and do a lot of consultation related to them finding a safe house somewhere.

00:44:18.000 I don't know.

00:44:21.000 I can talk about some of these.

00:44:23.000 Somewhere on the east coast they found this house with a bunch of cartel stuff in it.

00:44:29.000 Guns, plate armor, with a certain type of setup, and a giant Santa Muerte statue.

00:44:36.000 Santa Muerte is basically In Mexico they venerate death as a deity.

00:44:44.000 So a giant reaper statue in a place and it had certain colors, the candles were a certain way, there was a plate with certain offerings and you know five federal agents that are Caucasian from you know that have no idea what they're looking at are now asking me like what does this mean?

00:45:06.000 And I was exposed to a lot of this stuff growing up in Mexico and also, you know being part of some of that growth and going through my training and then Arresting people that are part of the cult and also just going doing my research out there So they ask questions like what are these candles mean?

00:45:22.000 Or what does it mean if it's this color or the the statue was a black statue?

00:45:27.000 It wasn't sometimes you find them in rainbow colors or red or yellow rainbow death rainbow death Basically, if you want to cover all your bases... Is that an LGBT death? 1.00

00:45:40.000 If you have money problems, love problems, if you want to kill somebody and you don't want to get killed back, and you want to have luck in a future endeavor, you go for a rainbow statue because it covers all your bases. 0.60

00:45:51.000 Yeah.

00:45:51.000 Really?

00:45:52.000 Yeah.

00:45:52.000 But if you want to, you know, if you're in the profession of death dealing, in which some of these people are basically consider themselves agents of death, You have a black statue because she gives you the authority to kill other people and you're under her protection.

00:46:07.000 So small insights like that is what I provide to some law enforcement professionals out there that are finding some of these things and don't know what they mean.

00:46:14.000 Yeah.

00:46:14.000 Do you think that they're using them just to scare other people or that they really believe?

00:46:18.000 I mean, I know it's speculation.

00:46:19.000 It's a belief.

00:46:20.000 It's a belief.

00:46:20.000 And it's not just the cartels.

00:46:22.000 I mean, it's in the, I mean, I was exposed to some of that in the police forces as a hazing, hazing rituals.

00:46:26.000 And it's like some of the people that I used to work with were part of the cult as well.

00:46:30.000 It's like, it's like spread out.

00:46:34.000 It's a desperate place.

00:46:35.000 It's one of the most Catholic countries in the world, and some of these things just thrive in places like that.

00:46:40.000 They have Santa Muerte, which is a death deity. 0.82

00:46:44.000 They have Malverde, which is like a Mexican womanhood.

00:46:47.000 It's a dude that used to rob the rich and would give the money to the poor.

00:46:52.000 He was hanged, and they didn't allow him to bury his body.

00:46:55.000 But where his body eventually rotted away and landed they put a bunch of rocks there and they started venerating him as a saint and you know there's a there's a there's a shrine to him in Sinaloa.

00:47:06.000 You go there and you see pictures of people with their you know new raptors and the states you know like thank you for letting me cross and I just came back to repay you you what you did for me or Somebody with a gold AK somewhere, you know, like this.

00:47:19.000 Wow.

00:47:20.000 So people, it's a belief system.

00:47:22.000 So a lot of this is actually being brought with people stateside.

00:47:26.000 So there's like a Santa Marta church in LA.

00:47:29.000 There's a roadside, every now and then you find like, I find like roadside graffiti and or shrines of Tumal Verde or like some of these things are like, it's here now.

00:47:40.000 Does that just mean St.

00:47:42.000 Death?

00:47:42.000 Santa muerte.

00:47:43.000 Yeah.

00:47:44.000 The holy death.

00:47:44.000 Holy death.

00:47:45.000 Santissima muerte.

00:47:47.000 Santa muerte.

00:47:48.000 The saint of death, basically.

00:47:50.000 Have you ever encountered some of these people like in your dealings with security?

00:47:53.000 Yeah.

00:47:54.000 Do they come off as like weird when you're encountering them?

00:47:57.000 I mean, they are realistically, they're as weird as a Catholic. 0.99

00:48:02.000 Because it's concealed within Catholicism, but it's basically a cult or a veneration of an Aztec death deity.

00:48:13.000 That's what it is.

00:48:14.000 It's a fusion.

00:48:15.000 It is the last surviving lineage of any sort of Mexica or Aztec death worship in Mexico.

00:48:24.000 So you're bringing in the sainthood of Catholicism and you're combining it with... So Catholicism is basically the cloak that it has concealed itself into all day. 0.66

00:48:32.000 Right.

00:48:33.000 So back in the day it wasn't a public thing.

00:48:36.000 So you would see a Virgin Mary statue and behind her there was a skeleton painted.

00:48:41.000 So that's how they would hide their veneration, right?

00:48:44.000 And even to this day, the Virgen de Guadalupe, the Virgin, the brown Virgin that they venerate in Mexico, there's an eagle feathered cherub underneath her.

00:48:58.000 Pushing her up.

00:48:59.000 Interesting.

00:49:00.000 And a cherub doesn't have eagle wings, specifically black-tipped eagle wings.

00:49:06.000 That is the Aztec war god.

00:49:09.000 And the Aztec war god was given birth to by Cuauhtlicue, which later on turned into a holy death.

00:49:18.000 So in a lot of ways, it's always been kind of concealed in plain view for people.

00:49:22.000 But now it's adopted itself into being venerated by marginalized communities, criminal groups, police officers, the military, you know, that is who venerates it.

00:49:32.000 And its elements have crossed the border and every now and then the law enforcement finds them up here and they're like, what the hell are we looking at, you know?

00:49:40.000 And, you know, some of the ritualized killings they do for video purposes that they spread on social media and stuff like that.

00:49:46.000 See, that's a bit different from, like, Christians, you know? 1.00

00:49:49.000 I don't think we get a lot of that.

00:49:51.000 You get some weird stuff, for sure, but... Alex Jones was on before and talking about, like, these kind of blood rituals that they would do, the Aztecs and stuff, and I looked into it, and it's called bloodletting.

00:50:00.000 It's an ancient, very well-known practice.

00:50:01.000 Bloodletting is just like, you have a headache, so you drain blood or something.

00:50:05.000 Similar, yeah, and it's like, he was like, you put glass through your genital, and it's like... Yeah, that's all bloodletting. 0.75

00:50:09.000 That's ancient weird stuff.

00:50:12.000 I went through a bunch of weird hazing rituals when coming up through training and a lot of them were done by people.

00:50:17.000 So a lot of the training that I went through first was done by GAFA members.

00:50:22.000 GAFA members are the people that later on turn into the Zetas.

00:50:25.000 It's basically a Mexican army SF group that said, these guys pay more.

00:50:30.000 So they just left the barracks and became bodyguards.

00:50:35.000 Biggest cartel heads back then.

00:50:37.000 A lot of these guys were the ones that were in charge of our training coming up, so they were pretty brutal in some of the training.

00:50:43.000 And they also introduced a few weird occult elements into some of the training we got, right?

00:50:48.000 Interesting.

00:50:51.000 So, they would cut you to see if you would flinch, right?

00:50:56.000 So, they cut me with a knife right there.

00:51:01.000 And there was always some sort of pain or just suffering of some sort to see if you were strong enough.

00:51:07.000 And there was always bleeding happening.

00:51:08.000 It was a weird thing.

00:51:09.000 So you were under, were you undercover?

00:51:11.000 No, this is, this is, this is from this government training to get you into go to work on some of these things.

00:51:17.000 And again, it's the occultist elements in that are everywhere.

00:51:22.000 Like they're infused into the culture.

00:51:23.000 You see them within the military and you see them within the criminal groups.

00:51:26.000 know, I remember the first time we went to a house and we found this giant

00:51:30.000 actual humans called statue.

00:51:33.000 Um, and the bottom of it, they had a bowl and it had the picture of the guy that

00:51:38.000 ran us or the guy, one of our bosses was in the bowl and looked at it.

00:51:43.000 It's like, took a picture of it and send it back.

00:51:45.000 And he's like, burn the house.

00:51:47.000 Yeah.

00:51:47.000 You ever, you ever experienced anything in like pursuit of or investigation of,

00:51:55.000 you know, some occult stuff that gave you pause or made you question, I mean, stuff real.

00:51:59.000 I think, uh, things have a power that we give them, right?

00:52:03.000 Things have a power, the power that we give them.

00:52:05.000 Uh, so specifically, I think, uh, There was this lady who was, she was pretty famous, I can't say her name, but she was pretty famous for being like the head witch of cartel people. 1.00

00:52:19.000 Oh wow.

00:52:20.000 And everybody feared her.

00:52:23.000 Everybody feared her.

00:52:24.000 She had the mal de ojo power.

00:52:26.000 She could curse you by your sight and stuff like that. 0.88

00:52:30.000 When I wanted to learn more about this type of stuff for my own research and just to know about it, to kind of gather some of this information to then kind of transfer it to people that might need it later on in life.

00:52:41.000 I helped out two of her sons that were in a stolen vehicle thing, right?

00:52:44.000 So I helped them out.

00:52:46.000 And I told him, I just need an intro to your mom so I can, you know, talk about some of these things.

00:52:50.000 Sure.

00:52:51.000 I went to her place where she would do her, you know, her work.

00:52:55.000 She's arrived in a Mercedes in the back, you know, changed out of her, you know, good clothes and put on a weird, you know, you know, witch costume, I guess.

00:53:06.000 Lady comes in. 1.00

00:53:07.000 My husband is cursed and he works for the cartels and he's cursed and I need my work done on him. 0.93

00:53:13.000 Okay. 0.94

00:53:14.000 Um, I don't know the name of the demon that is placed on your husband, so I can't take this job.

00:53:17.000 Slides over the $500 that she just put on the table.

00:53:20.000 It's like, wow, this is an honest witch.

00:53:23.000 Yeah.

00:53:24.000 Wow.

00:53:25.000 But if things start happening at your husband's house at three in the morning, I think I might know the name.

00:53:32.000 So come back.

00:53:34.000 As soon as she leaves, two kids walk in with a bag full of cats.

00:53:38.000 And they get tasked with going and following this lady and going to her house and dumping these cats in her backyard.

00:53:44.000 She comes back with $5,000 to get rid of this curse, whatever this is.

00:53:53.000 Black magic at its core is just a form of weaponized psychology, I think. 0.99

00:53:57.000 So this is not something that made you believe, it's something that made you not believe.

00:54:00.000 This is something that made me respect the ability of manipulation that some human beings have.

00:54:07.000 And reanalyze everything I thought was real.

00:54:11.000 I knew a guy once and he worked with a guy.

00:54:15.000 And when I started talking to him, he told me this story about how he lent his friend five grand.

00:54:20.000 And I was like, what?

00:54:21.000 Why?

00:54:21.000 And he was like, no, it's fine.

00:54:22.000 He's good for it.

00:54:22.000 He's paid me back before.

00:54:23.000 And I'm like, dude, what happened?

00:54:26.000 And he's like, yeah, he asked to borrow 500 bucks, you know, a couple weeks ago and said,

00:54:29.000 I'll pay you back on payday.

00:54:31.000 And I lent him the money and then sure enough, payday comes around, he paid me back, no problem.

00:54:34.000 And then, you know, he needed to help out.

00:54:37.000 You know, he was trying to get married, but his family didn't approve of his wife.

00:54:40.000 So he needed, you know, to go fly back home to China where he could then, you know, 0.79

00:54:45.000 sort things out with his family.

00:54:46.000 And he's got a job here.

00:54:47.000 I was like, bro, you just got conned.

00:54:49.000 He stole all your money.

00:54:49.000 He's never coming back.

00:54:51.000 And that's what they do.

00:54:52.000 You give me 500 bucks.

00:54:54.000 I wait a week, hand it right back to you.

00:54:56.000 I never spent it.

00:54:57.000 That way in a week I can be like, hey, can you lend me five grand?

00:55:00.000 You know I'll pay you back.

00:55:00.000 I paid you back last time.

00:55:02.000 That's the trick.

00:55:02.000 So when she's like, no, no, I can't take your money because I have to know if the demon is real.

00:55:07.000 And then they go nuts on you.

00:55:08.000 And then you're like, she was right.

00:55:10.000 Yeah, I mean, it's, it's a, it's a, it's, I call it, I nickname Mexico the upside down, you know, because it's a different place.

00:55:20.000 People don't realize how different it is.

00:55:24.000 We would get numbers attached to us, like a hall sign or a nickname.

00:55:29.000 My nickname was a Skeletor.

00:55:31.000 They called me Skeletor.

00:55:31.000 I was pretty skinny when I first got out.

00:55:38.000 I had a number given to me, a 2-4.

00:55:40.000 I had an upside down 4 on my number and I didn't realize it was a joke.

00:55:45.000 The joke was my first job working was to cut people down from a bridge that were hung by cartels.

00:55:51.000 That was one of my first jobs.

00:55:53.000 And talking about some hair raising experiences.

00:55:56.000 This was pretty subtle, but it made me realize a few things about Mexico.

00:56:04.000 We got to this place and they had two and what was remaining of another one hanging from a bridge.

00:56:14.000 Uh, we got there and I got, I remember going there and I got like, hey, bring the breaching kit, which is a pair of bolt cutters and a thing to knock down the doors.

00:56:22.000 And I was like, yeah, we're going to hit a house.

00:56:23.000 And then all of a sudden we're going to go somewhere else.

00:56:26.000 And I got handed the bolt cutters and I didn't know what I was going to do.

00:56:28.000 I got there and I was like, oh, we're gonna, you know, you're the one in charge of cutting

00:56:31.000 them down.

00:56:32.000 I go over, they put a flatbed thing on the bottom and we just cut somebody down.

00:56:38.000 And I was like, this is horrible.

00:56:42.000 This is horrible.

00:56:44.000 Older guy there smoking, a guy, Jaramillo was his name, older guy smoking says, that's

00:56:52.000 kind.

00:56:53.000 They're being kind.

00:56:54.000 I was like, how is this kind?

00:56:57.000 I mean, at least his family is going to have a body to cry over and bury.

00:57:01.000 The body is a gift.

00:57:04.000 And I was like, this is kindness here.

00:57:07.000 I've heard crazy stories about what they do to people, like flaying them alive.

00:57:13.000 Explosives put on people, dragging them through a city.

00:57:18.000 Horrible.

00:57:18.000 I mean, the videos are out there.

00:57:20.000 And some of these, I mean, some of the afters of these some things.

00:57:23.000 Like there was a guy, Paul Solero was a stew maker in Tijuana.

00:57:28.000 He never killed anybody, but he said that he learned from Israeli specialists how to get rid of bodies.

00:57:33.000 And he got rid of bodies at an industrial level with caustic soda.

00:57:38.000 Oh, wow.

00:57:39.000 And one of my guys ran through a field once and got his foot inside of one of the pits where he would dump things and he had to go to the hospital for chemical stuff and also the hole exposed the smell.

00:57:55.000 Which is, to this day, I can't go to Korean barbecue places because it freaks me out. 1.00

00:58:01.000 People in the United States do not realize how good they have it.

00:58:06.000 They don't not only realize how good they have it up here, they don't realize how some of this is also starting to pop up up here.

00:58:14.000 And also how some of the stuff that happens down there affects up here directly.

00:58:20.000 You were saying before the show, when we were talking, that like 90% of murders are unsolved in Mexico.

00:58:24.000 Over 90%, yeah.

00:58:25.000 So, I mean, imagine that.

00:58:30.000 I read this crazy story for our more attentive listeners.

00:58:34.000 You may have heard me say it.

00:58:35.000 I think I was reading it on like Reddit.

00:58:37.000 This young woman was at a bar.

00:58:38.000 I think it was in Austin or whatever.

00:58:39.000 And she was with her boyfriend and like two of his friends.

00:58:42.000 So it's like three guys and a chick.

00:58:44.000 They walk out of the bar and she's like 10 or 15 feet behind them.

00:58:47.000 Just like whatever.

00:58:48.000 And then as they're goofing off and walking, her being that far apart was enough.

00:58:52.000 Car pulls up, they jump out and grab her and try pulling her into the car. 0.99

00:58:56.000 She screams, her boyfriend and the friends hear and they run over and they grab her and they're trying to keep her out of the car and the car starts driving and they pull her out and the car speeds off.

00:59:04.000 And apparently that's like these kidnappings in Texas and places like that on the border.

00:59:09.000 You think you're in this American city, everything's going to be great, and then a car just pulls up and the next thing you know you're a slave. 0.91

00:59:15.000 I'll give you the story and you tell me where it happened.

00:59:18.000 A bunch of armed cartel members dressed like federal agents go to a house, do a mock raid on the house, abduct somebody, and then they found him later on dead.

00:59:27.000 Where did this happen?

00:59:28.000 Kansas City.

00:59:29.000 It was California.

00:59:30.000 Oh, I was going to say California for sure.

00:59:31.000 It was California.

00:59:32.000 Where in California?

00:59:34.000 Right across the border to San Diego County.

00:59:38.000 Which one's on the U.S.A.?

00:59:40.000 Mexicali or Calexico?

00:59:42.000 Calexico.

00:59:42.000 And then Mexicali is just on the other side.

00:59:43.000 El Centro, Calexico, yeah.

00:59:46.000 Arizona is the abduction capital of the U.S.

00:59:48.000 Wow.

00:59:49.000 Arizona.

00:59:50.000 Arizona.

00:59:50.000 A lot of abductions happen in migrant communities that never get reported.

00:59:54.000 A lot of executions and murders happen in migrant communities that never get reported.

00:59:56.000 That makes me wonder, when you said 90 or more percent of murders are unsolved, is that accounting for people that just disappear?

01:00:03.000 No, that's not accounting for people that just disappear, which I don't have the numbers in my head right now, but they're pretty astronomical as far as how many people are just missing in Mexico.

01:00:11.000 Which basically means dead.

01:00:12.000 Or they could be sold into slavery.

01:00:15.000 Well, that's an interesting other aspect of it.

01:00:18.000 During the COVID epidemic, protozoa were stocked.

01:00:25.000 Which means in certain parts of the country, child labor is allowed in the states only when it comes to agriculture.

01:00:35.000 There's kids working in some of these fields.

01:00:37.000 Governor Newsom in California has a winery that didn't close during COVID and there was a bunch of kids working on those fields that are, you know, Mexican immigrants.

01:00:48.000 They are working to pay off their crossing, a lot of these people.

01:00:54.000 So in a lot of ways, there's modern-day slavery going on right now.

01:00:59.000 Getting across the border, not like the Haitian push that came in, but if you're a Mexican and you cross the border illegally, you have to pay. 0.54

01:01:08.000 And if you can't pay, you get a little tab on your wrist, so when you get picked up on the U.S.

01:01:14.000 side, they know you're still low, so you get processed in a bit different way.

01:01:19.000 Some of these people end up in fields and in manufacturing places across the country and some of them go into, if they're female, some of them go into the trade as well. 1.00

01:01:30.000 And they're basically working off their debt.

01:01:33.000 And if they can't pay it, their families that are already set up stateside are paying it.

01:01:37.000 Wow.

01:01:38.000 What's like the average that someone would have to pay for something like that?

01:01:42.000 It depends on who you are and where you're crossing.

01:01:44.000 5,000 is a number that I've heard.

01:01:46.000 Where do people get this money?

01:01:49.000 They don't get it, so they cross and they pay it off over years sometimes. 0.91

01:01:54.000 And some people might owe $5,000, but you think they're going to say, oh, with interest now.

01:01:58.000 Of course.

01:02:00.000 And these people get stuck into this circle.

01:02:02.000 And also, if they don't pay and they get something bad happen to them, do you think they're going to report that to the police here in the United States?

01:02:11.000 It's a whole silent community that just doesn't say anything.

01:02:13.000 It's upside down, man.

01:02:14.000 Yeah, I was just thinking like, geez, start a GoFundMe to help pay these people off.

01:02:18.000 And I'm like, can you even get involved in that?

01:02:20.000 Because it's already this illegal trade.

01:02:22.000 You can't pay them.

01:02:23.000 It just would make the system worse.

01:02:25.000 It would incentivize more of the same.

01:02:28.000 How do we fix this?

01:02:31.000 I mean, first recognition of a narco-insurgency with multiple fronts right next door to your country, and it is a narco-insurgency. 0.82

01:02:40.000 Recognize the fact that the Mexican government is not going to help you fix the problem, you know?

01:02:45.000 Because it's part of the problem.

01:02:48.000 Realize that they are terrorist organizations.

01:02:51.000 They are their own definition of a terrorist organization.

01:02:54.000 The U.S.

01:02:54.000 should come up with a new definition for them because they're a new definition.

01:02:58.000 They're utilizing pipe bombs, mortar bombs.

01:03:00.000 They're utilizing IRA-style tactics to develop explosives now on drones that they land on police vehicles.

01:03:08.000 Like in that game, Watch Dogs.

01:03:11.000 You ever play that?

01:03:12.000 Do drones.

01:03:13.000 Drones with bombs on them.

01:03:14.000 Or you can go to Michoacan and see it for real.

01:03:18.000 Man, I remember warning some government officials when I was doing consulting on drone stuff.

01:03:23.000 When consumer level drones were first becoming prominent.

01:03:27.000 I actually, uh, there was this organization that sent a person to, like, these news organizations and they asked me, because I had a bunch of expertise in doing work with drones, and then I was talking to them and they were like, what are the concerns about safety?

01:03:41.000 And I was like, oh, the most obvious one?

01:03:43.000 Someone straps a bomb to a consumer-grade drone for a couple hundred bucks and there's nothing you can do about it?

01:03:48.000 And they were like, Yeah.

01:03:50.000 Like, what do you do?

01:03:52.000 Even if you get the drone down, it's a flying bomb.

01:03:54.000 It's a flying bomb.

01:03:55.000 So the cartels are basically making homemade claymore mines, and they're putting them on the bottom of a drone.

01:04:01.000 And these drones are dirt cheap.

01:04:03.000 Yeah.

01:04:03.000 And all these Chinese Alibaba-level drones, but they're workable.

01:04:08.000 And you have one of those go off high enough, the radius is pretty good to get a lot of people.

01:04:15.000 Or they land on top of a car and explode them.

01:04:17.000 Especially put, like, nails and stuff.

01:04:19.000 Yeah.

01:04:19.000 Depending on how much weight they can carry on them.

01:04:21.000 If they do, you know, moderate-sized drone, they can do this crazy stuff.

01:04:25.000 I posted a video up recently of a quad drone with a guy holding on to it.

01:04:29.000 Whoa.

01:04:30.000 And they were being lifted up.

01:04:31.000 And it was, like, somewhere in the hills in Mexico.

01:04:33.000 They're kind of testing that out for something.

01:04:34.000 Maybe breaking somebody out of prison or something.

01:04:37.000 Casey Neistat did that big drone where it pulled him on a snowboard and then, like, lifting him up and everything, too.

01:04:41.000 Yeah.

01:04:42.000 That's exciting.

01:04:42.000 I mean, I know it's a different context, but that's super cool.

01:04:46.000 I mean, if El Chapo was in prison long enough, I mean, he probably could have gotten out with a drone.

01:04:52.000 That would be some Batman level villainy going on, right?

01:04:55.000 I mean, it's the craziest thing right now.

01:04:56.000 A drone big enough can just automatically fly by tracking GPS and then stop over you and then drop a rope and it can pull you out.

01:05:03.000 Yeah, that's crazy.

01:05:05.000 I remember finding one of the first drones, like a first drug load drones in Tijuana.

01:05:12.000 And I'd never seen one outside, like in reality I saw them on the internet and stuff like that.

01:05:17.000 And all of a sudden I find this quad drone on the ground with a giant brick of meth, you know?

01:05:23.000 Wow.

01:05:24.000 How big was the drone?

01:05:26.000 I mean, it was probably about that big.

01:05:28.000 Those guys, when they fly, their blades are strong and so fast, they'd slice your fingers off.

01:05:32.000 Oh, wow.

01:05:33.000 Yeah, no joke.

01:05:34.000 When we found it, we still had one of the guys who still had his sirens on, the police car he was driving.

01:05:39.000 He said, shut them off.

01:05:41.000 That was one of several.

01:05:43.000 Like, you could hear the... So that one had gone down, but there were others still up there?

01:05:47.000 Yeah.

01:05:48.000 Oh, boy.

01:05:48.000 And this is a while ago.

01:05:50.000 This is 2008 or something like that.

01:05:52.000 2008?

01:05:52.000 Yeah.

01:05:55.000 Wow.

01:05:55.000 And they're better now at it.

01:05:57.000 Yeah.

01:05:59.000 According to most of those guys, they say magic hour is moonless night with fog.

01:06:05.000 That defeats every single security feature of the border right now.

01:06:09.000 A moonless night with fog, that'll get its magic hour for them.

01:06:13.000 Zero visibility.

01:06:14.000 And you can't fly.

01:06:15.000 You can't send a helicopter out there.

01:06:18.000 Yeah, I think I think like infrared IR, you know, detection.

01:06:21.000 But I mean, I would imagine they don't have all the advanced technology all over.

01:06:25.000 I mean, right now they don't have enough people to I mean, again, it's magic hour for them.

01:06:29.000 Like everybody is, you know, on the border.

01:06:31.000 Well, they were on the border trying to quell this massive migration push into the in the United States.

01:06:38.000 I mean, other parts of the border were probably ignored and were left alone.

01:06:42.000 And just I mean, again, it was magic hour for them.

01:06:45.000 you know, what got through a lot probably, you know.

01:06:48.000 There's no end to this. I mean, I wonder if the stuff we see in the news...

01:06:53.000 Actually, let me ask this. Does it feel like it's worse now than it's been in the past?

01:06:57.000 Yes. I think it's just numbers-wise, it's worse. Having experience, I went through the group that

01:07:06.000 I was a part of, pacified the most dangerous city on the planet at that point, which was Tijuana.

01:07:13.000 And it got off the most dangerous list. Things went back to normal, economic boom, a bunch of

01:07:20.000 high rises came up in Tijuana, and it's currently going through that.

01:07:27.000 And now it's back at almost number one again, right?

01:07:32.000 And you scratch your head like, we did all this work?

01:07:35.000 What happened to all this work?

01:07:37.000 And then you start realizing that, well, the politics went to the left on this side.

01:07:44.000 We were put through a process of selection and also review.

01:07:48.000 So I had to do a polygraph exam every year.

01:07:51.000 And my financials were looked through with a fine-tooth comb.

01:07:55.000 I went through an FBI background check.

01:07:57.000 I had random drug testing, psychological evaluations, and this was tedious.

01:08:02.000 They would go to our houses and take pictures of how many TV screens we had there.

01:08:06.000 And if we had a new one, you'd have to ask.

01:08:10.000 That ended because people started saying I was inhumane and it was against their human rights.

01:08:17.000 So when I, the last day I was on the job, there was a guy in that, the new guy that was in charge, which we investigated for cartel ties.

01:08:29.000 Was there at the office and I was like, wow, weren't you like not here?

01:08:34.000 Oh, I'm back.

01:08:35.000 And also my back pay, my back back paid everything.

01:08:39.000 He's back.

01:08:40.000 And now he's in charge.

01:08:42.000 Yeah, sounds like they sold you out.

01:08:44.000 I mean, they sold everybody out.

01:08:46.000 And another thing about it is, like, I'm not I'm not specialty guy.

01:08:50.000 I know a lot of things.

01:08:51.000 I train a lot of people.

01:08:52.000 And I had a lot of weird training from the US side and the Mexican side.

01:08:56.000 All the people that I used to work with, which were also trained like me that speak the same level of English that I have that have the same training, same education, same experience.

01:09:04.000 Those people don't didn't have the opportunities that I had.

01:09:07.000 What do you think they're working on?

01:09:10.000 Why they're working?

01:09:12.000 $12,000 every two weeks.

01:09:13.000 And they're working for one of the largest cartel groups on the planet right now.

01:09:17.000 So they were like, basically every year they were testing and checking, checking to see if you'd been co-opted.

01:09:22.000 And then who decided, like what president or what organization decided to stop?

01:09:26.000 The last president was, uh, the last president went through a process of kind of changing some of those things.

01:09:32.000 Again, Mexico has six years of a presidency and that just goes into a process of amnesia or everything that the last president did, even if it was good, it's bad.

01:09:41.000 And we went from the far right down there, which was Felipe Calderon, which started the drug war, to a president now that invited the Venezuelan military to march on Mexican Independence Day and shout, Viva Maduro, Viva la Revolución.

01:09:56.000 So that's what we're going through right now.

01:09:58.000 And most of the people that I used to work with, I mean, they clearly were like, this is BS, let's just go to work for the bad guys or the good guys, depending on where you're down, right, where you are down there.

01:10:09.000 You can see what this leftist Maduro stuff manifests into.

01:10:12.000 I mean, this guy went to the poppy fields and said, what about our drugs?

01:10:16.000 Yeah.

01:10:18.000 They're normalizing a bunch of stuff that is not normal, you know?

01:10:23.000 Well, it's a fire.

01:10:24.000 It's a fire that's spreading.

01:10:26.000 What's left over after the fire burns down the forest?

01:10:29.000 Burnt husks?

01:10:32.000 When I say normalizing things, I mean, when he leaves office, things are normal.

01:10:36.000 The president going to Sinaloa and talking about supporting poppy field.

01:10:43.000 plantations and and shaking hands with a known like Joel Chapa Guzman's mom and the lawyer and naming the former governor of Sinaloa the ambassador to Spain which is the the door of drugs into into Europe.

01:10:59.000 Wow!

01:11:02.000 It does it because it's fine.

01:11:04.000 Because he's the president and it's okay.

01:11:07.000 And it's fine.

01:11:11.000 Just the behavior and the people that are being invited in and the open relationship to Cuba now and Cuban intelligence being all over the country now.

01:11:19.000 It's kind of weird.

01:11:21.000 I want to pull up this story real quick.

01:11:23.000 This is from the BBC.

01:11:24.000 Biden said, quote, people will pay for horseback charge on migrants at border.

01:11:31.000 So yeah, I'm sure you heard the fake news that the Border Patrol guys were riding the horses, and the photos came out, and the Democrats were like, they're whips!

01:11:39.000 So then what happened is the Biden administration is like, OK, you can't use horses anymore.

01:11:42.000 And now Biden's saying they're going to pay.

01:11:44.000 The reason I bring this up is you were just talking about how, you know, once once the left came in, all of a sudden they were much more in favor or at least, you know, it's like implicit.

01:11:54.000 So the current president down there said, abrazos no balazos, hugs not bullets.

01:11:59.000 That was his whole counter.

01:12:01.000 That was his whole security policy for the cartels.

01:12:03.000 So whether, you know, for the U.S., whether it's intentional or not, you have Joe Biden now, based on fake news, condemning the Border Patrol guys.

01:12:12.000 It's just continually weakening our security.

01:12:15.000 It's erasing it.

01:12:16.000 Just knowing some of the people that were there, because I know some of those people that were there.

01:12:19.000 A lot of them were Latinos.

01:12:20.000 A lot of them were actually Mexican, second generation, third generation Mexican people.

01:12:26.000 Uh, they're riding around in horses and they're utilizing the strap.

01:12:30.000 Have you ever ridden a horse?

01:12:31.000 They're not, they don't have crops that whip, they don't have a whip. 0.60

01:12:34.000 It rains.

01:12:35.000 The rains, that's what you see.

01:12:38.000 They are completely under manned, under supported and they're trying to do a job which is stopping people from crossing the border illegally and also they're I mean, I saw somebody go out down there trying to make it about race.

01:12:52.000 Of course.

01:12:53.000 And just seeing, so the U.S., and again, this from my experience training law enforcement here stateside, just went through the whole Black Lives Matter corrosion, which is a corrosion. 0.98

01:13:05.000 Speaking of somebody that comes from a country where police are not viewed well, this bleeds down a very dark path.

01:13:13.000 Yeah.

01:13:15.000 People don't want to be police officers in the United States anymore.

01:13:19.000 Police academies have whole generations that are just empty.

01:13:22.000 There's places where they don't have police, you know, they can't pay them enough and or you can't get paid enough to work in some of these places.

01:13:28.000 That leads to a void, an authority and policing void in some places.

01:13:35.000 What comes next?

01:13:37.000 You know, Mexico comes next, you know? 1.00

01:13:40.000 The corrosion of the small rules getting set to the side.

01:13:46.000 Small rules get set to the side, you know, you can walk into a Target in California and just fill a bag full of stuff and just walk out, no problem, as long as it doesn't pass.

01:13:56.000 You know, small rules.

01:13:57.000 I'm from Tijuana.

01:13:59.000 You know, it's not a first world place.

01:14:04.000 But I go to L.A.

01:14:05.000 and I want to wash my hands afterwards, right?

01:14:09.000 It's amazing to see how it's slowly shifting.

01:14:13.000 The corrosion that's come in this country as far as being against law enforcement.

01:14:18.000 Again, not all law enforcement is okay.

01:14:19.000 There's bad people in law enforcement. 0.91

01:14:21.000 There's bad, horrible people in law enforcement in Mexico.

01:14:25.000 There's people that did horrible things here in the states. 0.94

01:14:27.000 There's people that are corrupt that are working for law enforcement.

01:14:29.000 There's people that shouldn't be working for law enforcement here stateside that have a completely bad mindset as far as what they're doing.

01:14:37.000 But what comes if you don't have a police force?

01:14:40.000 You know?

01:14:42.000 Like, I was in the Portland riots, day 101 of the Portland riots.

01:14:45.000 I went out there.

01:14:46.000 People would be like, hey, are you going to be out there?

01:14:49.000 Yeah.

01:14:49.000 What do you want to do?

01:14:50.000 What do you want to see?

01:14:50.000 I always want to go to the weird places.

01:14:52.000 So I went to the riots.

01:14:55.000 2% CS gas was being utilized against the protesters.

01:14:58.000 Which is basically pepper.

01:15:00.000 Yeah.

01:15:00.000 And something you put on your steak.

01:15:02.000 There was a snack cart going through the protest line, which is pretty amazing.

01:15:05.000 There was a little Asian girl with a bicycle helmet shouting, you know, kill the police or something like that.

01:15:12.000 And then somebody threw a Molotov at the police and that landed on the feet of a protester there.

01:15:18.000 Who do you think all of them screamed for when that happened?

01:15:20.000 Yeah.

01:15:21.000 And the state police walked over, put him out and went back through the line.

01:15:26.000 You want to know what would happen if there were no police?

01:15:29.000 I'll tell you.

01:15:31.000 If something like Portland happened, in a place where there were no police, the locals would walk out with their guns, and it would not be pretty.

01:15:39.000 See, the issue is, in places like Portland, where you do have the right to keep and bear arms, more so than many other states, regular people know, if Antifa shows up with Molotov cocktails, and I defend myself, I go to prison.

01:15:52.000 So they don't do it.

01:15:53.000 It's because they're scared of the police, and the police allow Antifa free reign.

01:15:57.000 Yeah.

01:15:58.000 So I'm not, I've not been a big fan of, you know, the police over that specifically and over the lockdown stuff.

01:16:04.000 And a lot of people have said, oh, you can't blame the cops.

01:16:06.000 You got to blame the leadership.

01:16:07.000 And I'm like, no, I think if the cop walked up to the guy and arrested him and said, you deal with it later, at the very least, you know, that would slowly start putting a stop to these things.

01:16:15.000 If they started actively, you know, going where these rioters were going when they go into residential neighborhoods and stopping them from going to people's homes and threatening the residents.

01:16:24.000 We're not doing it though.

01:16:25.000 I was there for a night, and I'm not the smartest man alive or anything like that, but I was there for a night and I could figure out that all these people there were not from Portland, that they were all bussed in and or drove in and all carpooled in.

01:16:40.000 I could tell you exactly where they parked.

01:16:42.000 I could tell you where their plates were from.

01:16:43.000 I could tell you where they were car surfing.

01:16:45.000 I could tell you just by walking around there and hearing their conversations.

01:16:48.000 I could tell you what social media they were utilizing to organize their Look at the McCloskeys, right? 0.92

01:16:58.000 You can criticize them for waving the guns around or whatever, but the point is, a group of Black Lives Matter people broke into private property.

01:17:07.000 And when they simply brandished their weapons on their own property, as people were on their property and said, get out, they got arrested and charged for it.

01:17:14.000 So regular people know this.

01:17:16.000 Antifa gets free reign.

01:17:17.000 Black Lives Matter gets free reign. 0.99

01:17:19.000 You can't defend yourself.

01:17:20.000 Remove the police.

01:17:22.000 People start defending themselves.

01:17:24.000 The riots are over instantly.

01:17:25.000 People, it would not be, it would not look good.

01:17:27.000 And I would not want to see what happens.

01:17:28.000 But I tell you, if the cops won't actually enforce this, if the justice department, if the justice system will not hold these people to account, Eventually, the police start losing support.

01:17:39.000 We start seeing things like we did, where Trump supporters and conservatives were throwing the Blue Lives Matter flag on the ground and stomping on it.

01:17:44.000 And then eventually they're like, I don't care.

01:17:46.000 Get rid of the cops.

01:17:47.000 Whatever.

01:17:47.000 So be it.

01:17:48.000 If you're not going to protect me, you're going to ignore what they do and then come at me when I try to protect myself, like we've seen in the press numerous times.

01:17:56.000 People are gonna say no to it.

01:17:57.000 As long as they're paying attention.

01:17:59.000 It's the small rules that go first, and then the big ones start getting corroded, and I think we're past the small rules part.

01:18:04.000 Oh yeah, it's insane.

01:18:06.000 And again, I come from a country where that happened probably in the 80s and the 90s, and this is what comes after, you know?

01:18:13.000 Mad Max level.

01:18:15.000 And you see the Haitian migrants walking back and forth.

01:18:17.000 Yeah.

01:18:18.000 There's no border.

01:18:19.000 I'm sorry.

01:18:19.000 There's no border.

01:18:20.000 You can't call it a border.

01:18:20.000 That's not correct.

01:18:22.000 It's not.

01:18:22.000 There's no border.

01:18:23.000 And also, the people that are enforcing the border on this side are now even more neutered than they were.

01:18:28.000 Right.

01:18:29.000 So, you go into, you know, hypotheticals and, you know, again, if somebody, like some evil entity out there wanted to do something on the border, Christmas.

01:18:39.000 Right now.

01:18:40.000 Christmas.

01:18:40.000 Yeah.

01:18:41.000 Navidad.

01:18:41.000 Yeah.

01:18:42.000 This is Christmas right now.

01:18:43.000 You know?

01:18:44.000 And also, Who wants to go into border protection?

01:18:51.000 Who wants to go into any of these jobs?

01:18:53.000 That guy with the reins, he's being demonized by the president.

01:18:56.000 They took their horses away over fake news.

01:18:58.000 Biden is attacking them saying they'll pay because...

01:19:03.000 This is what happens every single time.

01:19:06.000 Look, the Democrats come out and say Hunter Biden's laptop story is fake news when it was real.

01:19:12.000 They come out and say Russiagate is real news when it's fake.

01:19:14.000 Ukrainegate is real news when it's fake.

01:19:16.000 They're whipping people. 0.99

01:19:17.000 It's fake news. 1.00

01:19:19.000 How often are we going to see our culture, our country, capitulate to the lies from these psychopaths who just scream random garbage when they panic? 0.99

01:19:28.000 Yeah, I mean, the racism thing with one of the most Latin groups of federal police out there is pretty insane. 0.98

01:19:36.000 Don't get me wrong, I'm a migrant.

01:19:39.000 Like, I'm a legal resident of this country.

01:19:40.000 I went through my process during Trump's election, which made my process that usually takes six months into one that took two years.

01:19:51.000 And I'm not a fan, and I was pretty disappointed, but I went through it legally.

01:19:55.000 Right?

01:19:55.000 I went through it legally.

01:19:56.000 And... I'm an idiot. 1.00

01:20:00.000 You're just weird. 1.00

01:20:02.000 I'll say it in Spanish, que pendejo.

01:20:05.000 I should have just, you know, just sat on that board and just crossed and get shipped out to any, you know, whatever.

01:20:12.000 I got, I got, I got friends.

01:20:14.000 I have a friend in Eastern Europe and it's actually a brutal conversation to be like, I would like my friend to simply visit, simply visit, you know, two weeks, come see America for once, damn near impossible.

01:20:28.000 And then she's like, should I just go to Mexico?

01:20:32.000 And I was like, well, I can't, you know, obviously you're joking, right?

01:20:36.000 But that's the reality of like, even people in other countries are like, that's why you see people in Africa fly to Brazil and then come to Mexico because they know the border doesn't exist.

01:20:44.000 It's an open joke internationally that, you know, it's a hard thing to get a visa, but it's easy to just travel to Mexico.

01:20:54.000 Yeah.

01:20:54.000 And it's not, you don't, so that you don't even need a visa to go to Mexico.

01:20:57.000 You can just violently cross the Southern border into Mexico, beat, beat federal police in Mexico, beat them up, cross the border violently.

01:21:05.000 Just make it all the way through, go to the border and be welcomed on the other side.

01:21:09.000 That they'll fight.

01:21:10.000 So they'll fight the police and the Southern border.

01:21:13.000 They'll fight the police in the Southern border.

01:21:15.000 They'll throw rocks at them.

01:21:16.000 They'll, they'll, they'll be violent towards them.

01:21:18.000 Uh, they will go through communities and all the communities are just doing this to them.

01:21:23.000 You know, just go past.

01:21:27.000 When the first migrant caravan came up into Tijuana, the locals protested.

01:21:32.000 Yeah, I remember that.

01:21:34.000 The Make Tijuana Great Again hats, which I may or may not have something to do with that.

01:21:43.000 The mayor of Tijuana was wearing a Make Tijuana Great Again hat, right?

01:21:46.000 But they were, like, called racist. 0.93

01:21:49.000 Like, all these guys are brown. 1.00

01:21:50.000 Right.

01:21:51.000 And also, we just absorbed a whole segment of the population of the Haitian migrants coming into Tijuana, which I mean, as far as our experience with them, they were pretty good.

01:22:02.000 They melded into the populace.

01:22:03.000 They worked.

01:22:04.000 They're fine.

01:22:05.000 Now, these Hondurans came in and they were saying that they were going to turn Tijuana into Honduras.

01:22:11.000 They were saying that they were going to shoot people, that they wanted to mess with them. 0.78

01:22:11.000 Right. 0.78

01:22:14.000 Two of them got picked up by the cartels immediately.

01:22:17.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:22:19.000 Immediately.

01:22:20.000 So they calmed down a bit.

01:22:21.000 And then they were complaining about the food that they were being given.

01:22:26.000 Because they didn't want beans.

01:22:29.000 They thought that was pig food. 0.55

01:22:31.000 Which is, if you tell that to a Mexican, it's like... But that's the experience that the locals have had with them.

01:22:40.000 And it's not a good experience.

01:22:42.000 And it's amazing that, you know, the first camp they had was next to a school.

01:22:46.000 They had to cull the school down because they kept getting harassed by the people there.

01:22:53.000 But the Americans would come in and hand out backpacks, tents, food, clothing, and these guys were like, thank you, muchas gracias, thank you, thank you, and then you would see that at the open-air market being sold and flipped, right?

01:23:08.000 And it was like...

01:23:10.000 Is anybody seeing this?

01:23:11.000 American media shows up.

01:23:13.000 Let's put them around.

01:23:13.000 Get the kids out.

01:23:15.000 And the females out. 1.00

01:23:17.000 Put them here on the, on the outskirts so they can get, that's what they need. 0.98

01:23:19.000 That way AOC can show up and start crying at the fence, tricking a bunch of dumb people into voting away their rights and their, and their sovereignty.

01:23:25.000 The last, the last caravan that showed up in Tijuana set up right on the border and right in the middle of it. 0.90

01:23:31.000 And I'll post this picture up tonight.

01:23:33.000 I think I'll find it.

01:23:35.000 Right in the middle of that camp, Biden flag.

01:23:38.000 Yeah.

01:23:39.000 You know, and yeah, I went around and talked to a few of them.

01:23:42.000 They were pretty defensive.

01:23:43.000 But main thing is that the door's open.

01:23:46.000 Welcome in.

01:23:47.000 This is the time.

01:23:48.000 The door's going to close again, probably in a few years.

01:23:50.000 So we need to go now.

01:23:51.000 Let us in, Joe Biden.

01:23:52.000 You said that in the 80s is when the little things started to become overlooked and then it led, slowly led towards.

01:23:59.000 I mean, Mexico's have always been, their corruption's always been systemic there, but Yeah, I mean the true corrosion that you know that you know criminal enterprises and feeding the massive drug market in the states and the corruption that kind of produced in Mexico kind of started growing and how the corruption seeped into uncorruptible organizations like the military.

01:24:20.000 Mexico had like the military was like the uncorruptible like these are these are the last defense and then you had the Zetas. 0.97

01:24:27.000 You know?

01:24:28.000 And then you had a bunch of generals being arrested for cartel ties.

01:24:32.000 And then that shifted now.

01:24:34.000 That's why you see the Mexican Marines being utilized more now.

01:24:37.000 said, well, we don't use the Mexican military.

01:24:37.000 The U.S.

01:24:39.000 We're going to use the Mexican Marines now. 0.99

01:24:41.000 That's what we saw during the El Chapo raid.

01:24:43.000 But now some of those guys have been arrested guarding cartel guys, you know, bodyguarding cartel guys.

01:24:49.000 Mysterious stuff happening in certain parts where they control the ports.

01:24:54.000 I mean, if they are incorruptible and they are the leading defense in Mexico against the cartels, why are voice fentanyl flooding the country?

01:25:02.000 These guys are in control of the ports.

01:25:04.000 So I think it's all for money.

01:25:07.000 I mean, yeah, for them, yeah.

01:25:09.000 I think a big part of it is money.

01:25:11.000 I think a big part of it is lack of opportunity.

01:25:14.000 I mean, for somebody like me, growing up in Tijuana, either it was going into work for a call center, going to work for a cartel, or going to work for the government.

01:25:25.000 And after coming out of working for the government, I can't tell you the difference between working for a cartel or a government down there as far as how it was at the end.

01:25:33.000 Call centers are rough.

01:25:34.000 That's boring.

01:25:35.000 I mean, that's the opportunity you have down there.

01:25:39.000 Wow.

01:25:41.000 I was studying medicine when 9-11 happened and the economy just went in the toilet down there after that because nobody wanted to cross the border and have fun in Tijuana anymore.

01:25:50.000 So the only opportunities were me and a few of my friends.

01:25:55.000 When I grew up in Tijuana, I was like a skater kid.

01:25:58.000 Skated.

01:25:58.000 The first time I did any lock picking and stuff like that, now I teach that and stuff like that.

01:26:02.000 The first time I did any lock picking and stuff like that, I had to break into some cartel house that had been abandoned and we wanted to skate the pool and stuff like that, right?

01:26:10.000 So that was my childhood.

01:26:11.000 And it was fun.

01:26:12.000 It was interesting.

01:26:13.000 Tijuana was a pretty interesting place.

01:26:16.000 But it changed.

01:26:17.000 A lot of my friends that I grew up with went to work for the cartels.

01:26:21.000 There was a redhead kid that I used to know.

01:26:24.000 I went in to work for the government and we both used to skate.

01:26:29.000 His shorties was his thing.

01:26:33.000 That was his brand.

01:26:35.000 Yeah, yeah, he had the vodka shoes with the zipper tongue thing to hide his weed in there.

01:26:42.000 He was a great kid, you know, hang hung out with him.

01:26:45.000 And we just lost touch when I turned 20.

01:26:48.000 And I went to work for government.

01:26:49.000 He just, you know, disappeared.

01:26:51.000 I found him working later on.

01:26:55.000 I was walking across a gas station.

01:26:56.000 We're doing some surveillance stuff.

01:26:59.000 And he called me over like, God, Ed. 0.99

01:27:04.000 Oh shit. 0.99

01:27:05.000 Like wearing an AK-47 magazine carrier and an AK in his hand. 1.00

01:27:11.000 I was like, hey, what's up, man?

01:27:14.000 He's like, hey, what's up?

01:27:15.000 He's like, no, come over here.

01:27:15.000 Come over.

01:27:18.000 So I wasn't in uniform.

01:27:20.000 I was carrying a gun.

01:27:22.000 I was working, but I wasn't doing anything specific as far as being overtly what I was.

01:27:26.000 He called me over, gave me a hug, was like, hey dude, what have you been doing? 0.88

01:27:31.000 Oh, just fucking looking for work and stuff like that. 0.96

01:27:33.000 And he leaned over and said, I know You probably better get out of here. 0.99

01:27:39.000 It's like, yeah, dude, I'm sorry, man.

01:27:40.000 Yeah.

01:27:41.000 What's up with you?

01:27:41.000 I'm like, I'm just working here.

01:27:43.000 Like, it's a good, I mean, it's well paying and shit like that.

01:27:43.000 You should come over.

01:27:46.000 I'm like, ah, we'll figure it out.

01:27:50.000 I walk out of there, my phone's going crazy because they saw me, you know?

01:27:54.000 And as soon as I got back to the group that I was with, the military showed up and they shoot out for, I don't know, like a solid 30 minutes.

01:28:03.000 Whoa.

01:28:05.000 I went there afterwards and it took me about 10 minutes to find him.

01:28:12.000 He was shot dead underneath a car.

01:28:16.000 He was the only one with red hair there.

01:28:18.000 He was a redhead. 1.00

01:28:20.000 I stayed with his body all night and called his parents to release the body.

01:28:30.000 The war down there is different.

01:28:31.000 It's not going off to Afghanistan and doing things.

01:28:34.000 It's not going off to the Middle East.

01:28:36.000 It's within our homes with people that we speak the same language with.

01:28:41.000 Sometimes we would kill one of them and they would kill one of us and the funerary service were at the same place.

01:28:48.000 It's a different war and as far as what it produces as far as individuals and people and bad people and just The methodology that is being showcased as far as the first people that we've seen in the Western Hemisphere weaponize drones are the cartels.

01:29:07.000 And that's a light that is now like ideological and methodological idea now that is out there.

01:29:17.000 The first people that weaponize torture videos and stuff like that on social media were the cartels, not ISIS.

01:29:22.000 ISIS got the idea from the cartels.

01:29:26.000 It's turning into the school.

01:29:31.000 It's turning into a school of thought, of method.

01:29:34.000 It's turning into a producer of people.

01:29:37.000 Of bad people and good people maybe?

01:29:38.000 I don't know.

01:29:39.000 But people that are capable.

01:29:44.000 What you saw in Afghanistan when the CIA went in there and trained some of the local populace to fight the Soviets.

01:29:51.000 And what that later turned into.

01:29:54.000 Um, the U.S.

01:29:54.000 trained people in Mexico.

01:29:57.000 I was one of them.

01:29:58.000 And what is that going to turn into in a few decades?

01:30:01.000 You know?

01:30:01.000 Same thing it always does.

01:30:02.000 You know, that's, it's, it's, it's the, uh, it's a scary thing that I, again, I'll see this covered on the U.S.

01:30:09.000 side a lot and people don't talk about it that much.

01:30:11.000 Or if they do, that's, it's like something that's in the future for them.

01:30:15.000 Like they're coming here.

01:30:16.000 Eventually they'll come here.

01:30:17.000 It's here already.

01:30:19.000 Um, you know, that's, that's, that's, that's a scary part of it that just the ignorance around.

01:30:24.000 You think if people learn Spanish it will help?

01:30:26.000 I think all of you are going to be speaking Espanol or Mandarin in a few years.

01:30:32.000 We should be teaching kids like six or seven languages in school.

01:30:37.000 Other countries do, we don't.

01:30:40.000 You can't get into a career path in Mexico unless you know English.

01:30:46.000 That's true for a lot of countries though.

01:30:46.000 A little bit.

01:30:48.000 Yeah, it's always been interesting for me to meet people in the States that don't speak

01:30:51.000 another language.

01:30:52.000 It's pretty weird, right?

01:30:53.000 Yeah.

01:30:54.000 That's most, I'm pretty sure, right?

01:30:55.000 Si.

01:30:56.000 Nice try.

01:30:57.000 Un poquito.

01:30:58.000 Un poquito.

01:30:59.000 I travel across the country every weekend.

01:31:03.000 I do classes all over the country, so I get to see weird places and experience this country.

01:31:08.000 For three years I've been traveling nonstop.

01:31:11.000 So it's just interesting seeing, going from LA.

01:31:13.000 to Alabama, to going to, like, living in Kentucky for a bit, and everybody was like, hey Ed, aren't you worried about Kentucky?

01:31:21.000 It's very racist. 0.89

01:31:22.000 It's like, Mexico's very racist. 0.97

01:31:24.000 These people are amateurs. 0.88

01:31:28.000 Yeah, America's, like, one of the least racist places I've ever been to.

01:31:32.000 You know, maybe it's hard to quantify exactly how racist a country might be.

01:31:36.000 Especially, like, you go to some of the Scandinavian countries and they're, like, arguably way more racist, but some people might be, like, kinda not.

01:31:43.000 But I'll tell you this, I think Sweden is super, super, super racist. 0.52

01:31:46.000 Okay. 0.83

01:31:47.000 Yeah, they're the kind of racist where they really don't like non-Swedish people, but they openly pretend like they're not racist, so they do a bunch of things to make it... They want to make it seem like they're not racist and are super welcoming, but then behind closed doors they're like...

01:32:03.000 Others are not.

01:32:03.000 Yeah, totally.

01:32:04.000 No, legit.

01:32:06.000 We have blackface comedy still on TV in Mexico.

01:32:08.000 Oh, wow.

01:32:09.000 Wow.

01:32:10.000 There's a there's a comic called the Mean Penguin.

01:32:13.000 People can research this.

01:32:14.000 And you tell me that's on the newsstand still.

01:32:16.000 So it's there's there's all of the telenovelas and all the news and a lot of the popular culture down there.

01:32:24.000 Everybody on TV is Caucasian, the Mexican Caucasian people, because that's Our idealized version of beauty, you know?

01:32:31.000 Wow.

01:32:32.000 You give a kid a brown Barbie and a white Barbie and ask the kid which one is the evil one. 0.71

01:32:36.000 Oh wow.

01:32:37.000 No way!

01:32:38.000 It's an experiment they did down there.

01:32:43.000 So what's the result?

01:32:44.000 I mean, raise the brown one. 1.00

01:32:46.000 And what do you think if you did that in the United States today to a kid, which one do you think they would raise up?

01:32:50.000 The white one.

01:32:51.000 Isn't that weird?

01:32:51.000 That's right.

01:32:52.000 Diablo Blanco.

01:32:53.000 How about just like, I don't know, you can't tell if they're evil or not.

01:32:57.000 Well, I mean, that's too hard.

01:33:02.000 As far as the racism thing, I get a kick out of seeing some of the commentary as far as racism here in the United States.

01:33:06.000 When I, you know, like go to Asia, you know, and just see how different Asian countries treat each other.

01:33:12.000 Go to Mexico.

01:33:14.000 I'll tell this story about my family.

01:33:16.000 Can I tell this?

01:33:17.000 It's just a small, short story.

01:33:18.000 My daughter is on the light side.

01:33:20.000 You know, she's a bit light-skinned. 1.00

01:33:23.000 My niece has a daughter and she's a little on the brown side. 0.97

01:33:26.000 On Christmas, my dad put my niece's daughter on his knee and my daughter on his other knee.

01:33:31.000 He told my daughter, tu eres la princesa.

01:33:33.000 You're the princess of the family.

01:33:35.000 My niece's daughter says, what about me?

01:33:37.000 You can be the princess's maid.

01:33:39.000 Wow.

01:33:40.000 That's my dad.

01:33:42.000 Yikes.

01:33:46.000 That's how the culture is down there.

01:33:49.000 That's how it is in Brazil.

01:33:50.000 So when I was down in Brazil, I've been down there several times, I actually have a visa, and what I was being told by our fixer, our local guy, our friend, he's like a pothead on the headshot, he was like, There are people who are both black, and he was like, and they'll argue with each other over who's blacker.

01:34:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.88

01:34:08.000 Because, like, it's bad, and they're all extremely racist, even against themselves. 0.88

01:34:13.000 And he was like, it's crazy to see that people who are darker skinned will, like, they'll become a grandmother.

01:34:18.000 And then there'll be a picture of her with her husband and their kids, and it's like having more and more white kids, and then their great granddaughter is, like, white, and she's like, how proud am I? 0.67

01:34:26.000 That's really weird to me, how racist these people are.

01:34:30.000 Just to get a clip, my dad is brown.

01:34:36.000 That's just how things work outside of the United States.

01:34:39.000 These college kids, they don't get it.

01:34:40.000 They're like, America's racist!

01:34:45.000 Not only that, but I'm like, whenever I hear one of these people say that America's racist, I'm like, have you ever spent 10 minutes in a skate park?

01:34:50.000 In America?

01:34:54.000 You want to go somewhere to hear the N-word more than any... Go to a skate park.

01:34:57.000 I'm not even kidding.

01:34:58.000 It's like every other word.

01:35:00.000 Because it's like an urban culture thing now, I guess, for these kids.

01:35:00.000 Yeah.

01:35:03.000 Yeah.

01:35:04.000 I get... My mind gets blown when I see second generation, third generation Mexican, you know, kids here and they use the N-word more than anything.

01:35:13.000 It was like, why are you using that word?

01:35:15.000 That's not a... You know, again, I'm new here, so I don't know.

01:35:18.000 So I'm just hearing it.

01:35:18.000 Yeah.

01:35:19.000 I'm like, wow.

01:35:20.000 Let's go to Super Chats, everybody.

01:35:22.000 If you haven't already, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel.

01:35:25.000 We love hanging out on Friday nights.

01:35:26.000 We always try to just kind of like chill, lay back, and make Friday nights a little different.

01:35:31.000 Not so heavily focused on like the news cycle of the week or whatever like we do earlier in the week.

01:35:36.000 It's more chill, more chill.

01:35:37.000 So smash that like button, send your Super Chats. 0.99

01:35:39.000 We're going to read some of your comments right here.

01:35:42.000 All right, let's see.

01:35:43.000 Jackson Dowdle says, can you have a debate between an ANCAP and a populist like Brian Kaplan and Jack Murphy?

01:35:50.000 Yes.

01:35:51.000 Not familiar with who Brian Kaplan is, but, you know, we can certainly organize something like that.

01:35:51.000 Brian Kaplan.

01:35:56.000 That'd be fun.

01:35:58.000 All right, this question I'm assuming is for Ian.

01:36:01.000 Ducktator says, so did any of the cults ever manage to summon Cthulhu?

01:36:05.000 Is that what actually happened in 2020?

01:36:07.000 I defer to Ed.

01:36:09.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:36:12.000 I gave a death whistle to Joe Rogan that he blew and not everybody blames COVID on that, so I don't know.

01:36:16.000 No, for real?

01:36:17.000 Yeah.

01:36:19.000 So in Mexico, they have these death whistles.

01:36:21.000 It's an Aztec death whistle.

01:36:22.000 Supposedly, when the Aztecs would attack a village, they would blow those every night before they attack to just keep people up, you know? 0.85

01:36:28.000 Yeah.

01:36:29.000 And then he blew it.

01:36:30.000 I said, that's pretty cool.

01:36:31.000 You want this?

01:36:32.000 Like, oh yeah.

01:36:33.000 He blew it on the show.

01:36:34.000 Yeah.

01:36:35.000 So wait, Joe Rogan blew the death whistle on his show?

01:36:38.000 That proves it.

01:36:38.000 Yeah.

01:36:39.000 There's a few of them, you know, so maybe.

01:36:41.000 Have no fear.

01:36:42.000 I don't know if it was Cthulhu.

01:36:43.000 Maybe somebody asked a version of Cthulhu, you know?

01:36:46.000 I guess the answer's no.

01:36:47.000 Short answer.

01:36:48.000 All right.

01:36:49.000 Steven Valdez says, Ed is a legend.

01:36:51.000 Ed, are you ever going to write a book?

01:36:53.000 It's uh, yeah.

01:36:54.000 Yeah, it's not what people think.

01:36:56.000 I'm not... Most of my writing is going to be related to post-traumatic stress processing.

01:37:04.000 You were saying psychedelics have helped.

01:37:07.000 Certain types of psychedelics have helped in the processing part of it, yeah.

01:37:12.000 It's a...

01:37:15.000 Every now and then I write these things called Fever Dreams and I post them up on my Instagram account and they seem to touch people.

01:37:23.000 My world has ended a few times in a lot of ways.

01:37:25.000 And talking about some of the traumas, talking about some of the... I mean, I'm nine months on the wagon right now.

01:37:31.000 So it was like, how many years were you involved in this experience?

01:37:37.000 Twelve years working and right now six years on the road teaching, training and stuff like that.

01:37:42.000 So it's been a road.

01:37:45.000 Before we move on, I have to ask you, do you think that the reason that some of these military members and police officers use this symbol of Santa Muerte is because it takes some of the guilt of killing other people off of them?

01:37:59.000 it is definitely yes they have dispensation um you and so in a place where the government is doesn't really have your back and there is no realistic um so like in the u.s you go off and fight for your country and you get back and sometimes you get flag waves on you you get you know if you wear a uniform you fly You can fly for a discount or for free and you get preferential treatment if you're a veteran and stuff like that.

01:38:25.000 There's no such thing in Mexico.

01:38:27.000 You get spit on.

01:38:28.000 Oh, what do you do?

01:38:28.000 Like I hid what I did for a living for a long time from my family.

01:38:32.000 Because it's something to be ashamed of.

01:38:38.000 So there's no concept of a veteran in Mexico.

01:38:40.000 Right.

01:38:41.000 Wow.

01:38:41.000 Although it's clearly a giant war that we're currently still going through.

01:38:46.000 Right.

01:38:46.000 So if you don't have any support, if you don't have any... I learned about post-traumatic stress when I came to this country.

01:38:56.000 I didn't know what that was.

01:38:58.000 That's the level of just abandonment that people have down there.

01:39:02.000 Uh, so I think part of that is that, you know, just seeking some sort of comfort or some sort of backing in something that is as dark and or as light as a death deity.

01:39:13.000 You know, that's what I think that's a big reason why some of that is so popular and prevalent down there.

01:39:17.000 Interesting.

01:39:18.000 Okay.

01:39:19.000 All right, John Doe says it costs $2,500 for a U-Haul from Maryland to Florida, but only $600 for a U-Haul from Florida to Maryland.

01:39:28.000 They claim supply and demand.

01:39:30.000 Well, see, it's really simple.

01:39:32.000 If you're in Maryland, there's probably no trucks.

01:39:35.000 Because everybody's fleeing.

01:39:37.000 If you're in Florida, there's a ton of trucks.

01:39:39.000 Because nobody's leaving.

01:39:40.000 Because everybody's fleeing to Florida.

01:39:42.000 So if you want to go back, it actually works out really well for them because you're basically doing them a service, bringing the truck back.

01:39:47.000 Otherwise, they got to go pick the truck up and then bring them back.

01:39:50.000 So yeah, it costs more money.

01:39:51.000 How about that?

01:39:52.000 All right, here's a good one.

01:39:53.000 Jason Brian says, Did Dim Fool talk about the Arizona audit yet?

01:39:58.000 No, we didn't.

01:39:59.000 Why?

01:40:00.000 It just came out.

01:40:01.000 So, you know, I often wonder to myself, I'm like, there's a lot of people who jump the gun on stories and then get them wrong.

01:40:06.000 And I'm like, this thing was like announced, I think like 4pm.

01:40:10.000 And there's like, no way I'd have enough time to go through what they said to talk about it on a show.

01:40:15.000 But, you know, here's, I'll tell you this.

01:40:18.000 The other night a whole bunch of stories emerged where they said the Arizona audit confirms Joe Biden won.

01:40:24.000 Okay.

01:40:25.000 They didn't actually even see the audit when they wrote those stories.

01:40:29.000 And that's the important detail because I'm pretty sure the audits don't actually make

01:40:35.000 any strong assertion like that.

01:40:38.000 What there is something going around, it's showing a list of like failure rates, basically

01:40:43.000 like duplicate votes or things like that.

01:40:46.000 So there's a lot to go through.

01:40:47.000 I have not fact checked any of it.

01:40:48.000 And by the time we're going to do a show on a Friday night, there's just, look, I got

01:40:52.000 to tell you guys the worst possible day to release information like this is on a Friday.

01:40:56.000 Like, everyone's tuned out, view counts are always way down.

01:40:59.000 Honestly, I don't get it.

01:41:00.000 And then they give the media an opportunity to preempt them on a Thursday, which is not a good day, but not a Friday!

01:41:06.000 It's better than a Saturday, I guess.

01:41:08.000 But seriously, a Friday evening is when you publish news to die.

01:41:12.000 So, I'll look into it, and I'm gonna go through all of it, absolutely.

01:41:16.000 And I gotta tell you, I think it's a lot of what we heard from Matt Brainerd.

01:41:19.000 Check out the members-only segments at TimCast.com, and then we'll see what we can get to in those when we break it down.

01:41:26.000 All right.

01:41:27.000 Montana Linderman says, today's my birthday and I'm stuck at work, but at least I have Tim and everyone to listen to.

01:41:31.000 I watch you guys every night.

01:41:32.000 You guys are amazing.

01:41:33.000 Montana, thank you for your super chat and thanks for watching and listening to the show.

01:41:37.000 Happy birthday.

01:41:38.000 You know, it's just, we look at cameras and we talk about stuff.

01:41:43.000 Sam Finley says, Ed Calderon makes James Bond look like a punk.

01:41:48.000 Well done.

01:41:50.000 Jaime Juan.

01:41:50.000 No, James Bond.

01:41:55.000 Alright, let's see.

01:41:56.000 Trevor Cameron says, Tim, gonna play some more D&D?

01:41:59.000 Does the DM have a hard time keeping track of initiative?

01:42:02.000 Check out my Kickstarter and FB, Deck of Heroes and Fiends, October 1st.

01:42:07.000 Well, alright then.

01:42:09.000 Yes, we do plan on playing D&D.

01:42:13.000 Alright, let's see.

01:42:14.000 A lot of people want me to talk about the Arizona audit and, uh, you know, obviously there's a bunch of superchats throughout the show being like, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it.

01:42:25.000 It's like, I have to go through it and, like, fact check it.

01:42:28.000 Here's the thing.

01:42:29.000 With a lot of stories like, um, Afghanistan.

01:42:33.000 Initially, my assessment is based on the preliminary reports, and then it turns out, like, I didn't realize in the start of the Afghanistan withdrawal that we abandoned Bagram the way we did.

01:42:41.000 So my assessment was, like, changed, and I was like, wait a minute.

01:42:43.000 I read this Wall Street Journal article.

01:42:44.000 Look what they're doing.

01:42:45.000 Here's the challenge with the AZ audit.

01:42:47.000 As you probably already know, the mainstream media is not going to do a fair assessment of what the details are, which means this is one of the stories, along with many other, that we actually have to have our crew dig into, and we're gonna do it.

01:43:00.000 We're gonna look into it.

01:43:02.000 That being said, My opinion is you want to know the easiest way to make sure a Republican never wins again is convince them all you can't win.

01:43:12.000 And then they don't go out and vote.

01:43:14.000 So you've got Democrats going door to door.

01:43:16.000 Look at it this way.

01:43:17.000 New York City.

01:43:18.000 How many people live on one city block in New York City?

01:43:22.000 A lot.

01:43:24.000 Now, one, the same distance, in a rural county, how many people live in that same distance?

01:43:28.000 One?

01:43:30.000 So, when you're in New York and you've got universal mail-in voting, and two little democratic activists can say, we're gonna spend, you know, an hour on one city block, they can talk to a thousand people.

01:43:42.000 If a Republican wants to go to a suburban area, one city block is gonna get him, what, 25?

01:43:47.000 So with universal mail-in voting, denser population areas are substantially easier for voter turnout drives.

01:43:54.000 They knock on the door, did you vote yet?

01:43:56.000 You didn't?

01:43:56.000 There it is, fill it out, have a nice day.

01:43:58.000 Did you vote yet?

01:43:59.000 Republicans doing it, serious disadvantages.

01:44:02.000 So I think you gotta focus on your ground game, your organizational powers, and I'll tell you this, Whatever may be going on here, I think it's demoralizing people.

01:44:12.000 I think the audits are great.

01:44:13.000 I think new investigations build the trust.

01:44:15.000 But man, do conservatives need to get their ground game going.

01:44:17.000 And libertarians, to be honest.

01:44:19.000 Democrats have ground game, dude.

01:44:21.000 They know how to go door-to-door, and they have the advantage of population density.

01:44:25.000 I think that plays the biggest role.

01:44:26.000 And that's exactly why there was such a major push for universal mail-in voting.

01:44:30.000 It's overt.

01:44:31.000 That's why they were screaming when they said Donald Trump was stealing mailboxes.

01:44:34.000 Because that is what gives them their major advantage.

01:44:36.000 And it's not breaking the rules.

01:44:38.000 It's like the law was changed for universal mail-in voting.

01:44:40.000 I had a friend that worked the Obama campaign in 2012 and he said it was so incredibly organized and effective.

01:44:46.000 And then he worked the Bernie Sanders campaign in 2016 and he said it was terrible.

01:44:50.000 So I have a feeling it's not just Democrats.

01:44:51.000 It's this establishment.

01:44:53.000 Exactly.

01:44:54.000 They know how to run a machine.

01:44:56.000 And the establishment Republicans don't want Trump or the populists.

01:44:59.000 So they're like, it's all you.

01:45:01.000 And it's much more difficult.

01:45:04.000 Immediate Casualty Care says, perfect guest for the topic at hand, as well as a guy to learn from when it goes wrong.

01:45:04.000 All right.

01:45:11.000 Ed was kind enough to do an IG review of our low profile trauma kits, asking for nothing in return.

01:45:17.000 A good man who knows all things.

01:45:19.000 Bad guy.

01:45:20.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:45:21.000 Yeah.

01:45:22.000 What is that?

01:45:23.000 It's a low profile way to carry around medical equipment with you.

01:45:26.000 You know, I mean, it's, it's a scary time and I'm not, you know, fear mongering, but it's a pretty good idea to have at least some basic knowledge and base and materials to stop somebody from bleeding out.

01:45:38.000 We have like 30 medical kits here.

01:45:40.000 We had like six, and I was like, Tim, can we get two more?

01:45:42.000 And he bought like 20.

01:45:42.000 I was like, yeah, that's a good idea.

01:45:44.000 Let's pass them out if we need to.

01:45:46.000 30 employees.

01:45:47.000 We've got multiple acres.

01:45:48.000 Animals.

01:45:49.000 It's a weird thing.

01:45:51.000 People want to go and shoot guns and train how to fight with knives and do all this stuff, but they don't want to learn how to plug holes.

01:45:59.000 Or like, every now and then, I do training related to counter-abduction.

01:46:04.000 And everybody's like, we're never going to learn how to get our handcuffs.

01:46:07.000 That's coming.

01:46:08.000 But first we need to talk about Narcan.

01:46:10.000 Right.

01:46:11.000 And first we need to talk about roofies and how to flush your system and how some of the, why chemical restraints are a thing.

01:46:17.000 So you do a hostile environment training, stuff like that.

01:46:20.000 Non-permissive environment training is what I got, what it's called.

01:46:23.000 I didn't name it that.

01:46:25.000 That's what the first people that I started training here in the States said, that's non-permissive environments training.

01:46:29.000 Okay.

01:46:30.000 Do you ever get these really arrogant people who are just like, they think they know more than you, they think they're hot stuff, and they're going to survive the apocalypse?

01:46:39.000 I get all types.

01:46:42.000 I get some people that are preppers that prep, but they can't run a mile.

01:46:48.000 I get the people that are really worried about COVID and they want to wear a gas mask when they go outside, but they would just take some vitamins and eat healthy and just run a bit.

01:46:57.000 A little bit of that might help you.

01:47:00.000 I get all types.

01:47:01.000 I did a hostile environment training, and it was for insurance purposes, they made me do it.

01:47:06.000 Of course.

01:47:06.000 But I've actually, you know, I'd actually been on the ground in a bunch of civil unrest, civil conflict, and, like, I was in Ukraine before it erupted into, like, the separatist fighting.

01:47:15.000 I was in Venezuela, which was, like, probably the scariest, where I had to flee the country.

01:47:19.000 And so they made me do this training, and there was, like, a weather guy there who was, like, trying to give advice to people, and I'm just like...

01:47:27.000 Like, Weatherman, you can't tell this woman what she's gonna do when she gets abducted and there's landmines. 1.00

01:47:31.000 I'm sorry, you have no idea what you're talking about.

01:47:33.000 One of the things that I kind of struggle with, a lot of the stuff that I do is like, I didn't go through SEER training, or I wasn't part of the American military.

01:47:42.000 A lot of my teachers were, like, the first person I saw get out of handcuffs and teach me how to get out of handcuffs was a 15-year-old kid that was a meth dealer.

01:47:49.000 Right?

01:47:51.000 The first person I saw that showed me how to make something to cut through zip ties with a Kevlar cordage was a fisherman.

01:47:58.000 Was that when you were a kid?

01:47:59.000 When you were younger?

01:48:00.000 No, just working and meeting weird people.

01:48:03.000 One of the things that I find the most off-putting is people not realizing the teachers are all around us and they're not all going to wear a green beret and have been a military guy or something like that.

01:48:13.000 Most of the people that know and study the craft of getting around things Those are the best conversations I have.

01:48:21.000 And if I do a class and I start talking about bribing a public official, and Americans start getting like, you can do that?

01:48:30.000 Yeah.

01:48:32.000 They don't get it, man.

01:48:33.000 You don't get it.

01:48:34.000 We got scruples here, huh?

01:48:36.000 Normal is a fluid concept.

01:48:39.000 And you can't travel with your normal.

01:48:40.000 That's the first red pill I give people.

01:48:44.000 Yeah, man. 0.93

01:48:46.000 Egypt was certainly crazy. 1.00

01:48:48.000 Just like... When I try talking to... I'll tell you this.

01:48:53.000 Here's a challenge in the United States.

01:48:54.000 When I was doing the heat training, hostile environment stuff, someone asked the guy running the course if women should be worried about sexual assault. 0.94

01:49:05.000 And his reaction was to stutter and go, Men can get raped? Yes, men. It's like, dude, see this is 0.93

01:49:12.000 the problem. In America, they can't say certain things because they get sued for

01:49:16.000 harassment or treating people, you know, not like, you know, not like for violating people's rights,

01:49:23.000 I guess. Sensibilities.

01:49:25.000 Yeah. When you say like, there's a reality of that women, you know, a guy will get killed and a woman will get raped. 0.99

01:49:30.000 Like, when you're dealing with a lot of these places around the world.

01:49:32.000 And then when I have to deal with stuff like being in Egypt, what the security company is going to allow a woman to do versus what they're going to allow a man to do, you'd probably have every feminist in this country screaming, it's not fair. 1.00

01:49:42.000 There was a story about, I could be getting this wrong, so just keep that in mind.

01:49:46.000 A reporter with Vice was out, I think in Algeria.

01:49:50.000 And she was told not to go to the soccer stadium because women aren't allowed and she said, I'm going to do it anyway. 1.00

01:49:55.000 And she got assaulted and then sued vice over it. 1.00

01:49:57.000 Even though the security people are like, you can't do that.

01:50:00.000 Yeah.

01:50:00.000 But these, there are these people who think that Algeria is going to be like America.

01:50:04.000 Yeah.

01:50:05.000 And they don't realize like you walk in the wrong neighborhood and they should be like, that's a beaten.

01:50:08.000 Yeah.

01:50:08.000 They don't realize that in Egypt, it's like you walk in the wrong neighborhood and like, you're not covered up and you're not here with your man.

01:50:13.000 You're in trouble.

01:50:15.000 Normal is a fluid concept.

01:50:16.000 You can't travel with your normal.

01:50:18.000 You can't travel with your Bill of Rights.

01:50:20.000 That's an amazing thing. 0.89

01:50:21.000 Also, it's like seeing Americans in Mexico doing like, oh yeah, just this guy tried to push me in a van and I just stabbed him in the face.

01:50:27.000 I'm just going to wait for the police here.

01:50:31.000 That guy was probably a cop.

01:50:34.000 What do you recommend?

01:50:35.000 Go to the embassy or flee.

01:50:38.000 Not being allowed to, not being able to are two different things.

01:50:41.000 Outside of the United States, females during training, like I do, restraints for handcuffs, zip ties, duct tape. 1.00

01:50:52.000 Show people how to get out of that and also how to, you know, manage some of that stuff.

01:50:56.000 Women always get more on them because they're going to get it the worst. 1.00

01:51:00.000 Yep.

01:51:00.000 That's my way of treating them differently.

01:51:03.000 Now, to be fair, though, we did in our training do a scenario where we got surrounded at gunpoint and all the women were brought into a barn.

01:51:11.000 And then the trainers told them and start screaming, you know, bloody murder.

01:51:14.000 And and then the guys outside are laughing, saying, I think you know what we're doing and stuff like that, because he was trying to make that point.

01:51:19.000 Yeah.

01:51:19.000 So it wasn't all overtly, like, you know, trying to avoid the realities of these things.

01:51:23.000 Do you have, like, we talked about basic, like, natural rights in the United States.

01:51:28.000 Do you have that in Mexico?

01:51:29.000 Yeah, but nobody, there's nobody to enforce them.

01:51:31.000 So they don't exist, really?

01:51:33.000 I mean, human rights are a thing in Mexico, but usually they only involve people that are, you know, have enough money to kind of put them on their side.

01:51:43.000 We support a small media group that we work with called Demoler.

01:51:47.000 It's on Instagram if you want to check it out.

01:51:48.000 Basically just cartel related news out of Mexico and it's all verified by myself and other people that work around it.

01:51:55.000 There's a guy that stole a few candy bars from the store and got placed into a process, a legal process, for three candy bars.

01:52:04.000 A very lengthy one.

01:52:06.000 Wow.

01:52:06.000 And in the same vein, there's a police commander that was involved in the massacre of 135 people or something like that, that is currently, you know, he just had the lawyer up and there's no problem, right?

01:52:16.000 And we did this comparison.

01:52:20.000 If you have enough money, if you have an influence to the law, it's a matter down there and your rights are, you know, thing to the side.

01:52:26.000 You can own a gun in Mexico if you're upper middle class.

01:52:29.000 There's one gun store in Mexico.

01:52:31.000 Wow.

01:52:32.000 One gun store in Mexico?

01:52:33.000 It's a single gun store in Mexico City.

01:52:35.000 And the only way you can buy one is you have to fly there.

01:52:38.000 Wow.

01:52:39.000 Get a bunch of paperwork and buy an overpriced, underpowered caliber to be able to defend yourself.

01:52:45.000 Like what?

01:52:45.000 Like a .22?

01:52:45.000 Let's say a .380.

01:52:52.000 You can't get a 9mm down there.

01:52:53.000 That's military only.

01:52:56.000 So yeah, low calibers, horrible, horrible quality guns.

01:53:00.000 And they're all, it's a monopoly run by the military down there.

01:53:03.000 And they're in their best interest not to harm people, so they make it really hard.

01:53:07.000 Speaking of guns, DW says, Tim, did you see Matt Gaetz voted yes on red flag laws?

01:53:12.000 2A or bust!

01:53:13.000 Sorry, Matt, you're no longer MAGA.

01:53:15.000 Also, saveamericachat.com is number one for America First discussion.

01:53:20.000 I'm going to look into that because that is a big no-no.

01:53:23.000 Red flag laws are bad, bad, bad news. 0.99

01:53:26.000 They do not work the way people think they do.

01:53:29.000 And if Matt Gaetz voted yes on this, it's exactly the problem we have with Republicans. 1.00

01:53:33.000 That's why I think the Republican Party is garbage. 0.99

01:53:35.000 Now, you want to look that up? 1.00

01:53:37.000 Yeah, I'm looking it up.

01:53:37.000 You're looking it up?

01:53:38.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:53:38.000 Because I'll right now be like, that's dumb. 0.99

01:53:41.000 So you guys aren't familiar with red flag laws? 0.96

01:53:43.000 I am, I am.

01:53:45.000 One day you're at home and you get a knock on the door and it's a bunch of cops being like, we're here to seize your firearms, your weapons.

01:53:50.000 And you're like, says who?

01:53:51.000 Says this warrant?

01:53:52.000 What are you talking about?

01:53:52.000 Well, you're a danger to yourself or others or they're ours now.

01:53:55.000 Now, it's not what 2A says.

01:53:57.000 So the problem is you get no chance to rebut for the most part.

01:54:01.000 If they came to you and said, we are going to make an attempt at a seizure.

01:54:05.000 You have 30 days, you know, here's your court date or whatever.

01:54:08.000 Still bad in my opinion.

01:54:09.000 Because it puts the burden on the individual who has the right to keep and bear arms.

01:54:14.000 But at the very least, you'd be able to go to the court and be like, no, it's not true.

01:54:17.000 Someone's made a false claim against me, and I will not stand for this.

01:54:20.000 But these things end bloody.

01:54:22.000 Yeah, you're guilty.

01:54:23.000 Someone gets a medical marijuana card, and now they're no longer mentally stable.

01:54:26.000 Someone jaywalks, now they're no longer mentally stable. 1.00

01:54:29.000 No.

01:54:29.000 Red flags are not good.

01:54:30.000 They show up to a guy's house, knock on the door, then the guy answers the door with his gun, which he legally owns, and they say, we're taking your guns, and he says, yeah, for my cold dead hands or whatever.

01:54:40.000 They fought and the cops killed the guy.

01:54:42.000 That didn't need to happen.

01:54:42.000 This is not a good idea to go to Americans who are like, my cold dead hands, and instigate that kind of thing.

01:54:49.000 And that's what you get.

01:54:50.000 You get Republicans whose position is, I'll compromise Democrats, and Democrats say, give me everything or else.

01:54:56.000 So instead of Republicans being like, we want to repeal the NFA and all gun restrictions, they say, we're okay with some gun control, and then you end up moving further and further into the gun control territory.

01:55:07.000 As somebody that I'm from here, I'm from Mexico, of course, and there's a part in the Constitution that allows for the possession and self-defense with guns in Mexico.

01:55:21.000 But there's a single federal firearms law that just that's that what deals with everything everything firearms in Mexico.

01:55:29.000 You're not legally allowed to buy a gun outside of the normal processes, but it You know, New Year happens and everybody's shooting guns up in the air.

01:55:37.000 What's the... Oh, right.

01:55:38.000 No, but main thing is I've been in places where having a gun is the difference between being targeted and not being targeted.

01:55:47.000 I've been in places where everybody that has guns are having guns illegally.

01:55:50.000 They're all criminals because they have a gun.

01:55:52.000 But if they drop their guns, if they get rid of their guns, the cartels are going to run in and take their daughters. 1.00

01:55:58.000 Right.

01:55:59.000 There's a city Luke talks about.

01:56:01.000 Do you remember?

01:56:02.000 Chiron. 0.78

01:56:02.000 Chiron, where there's no police, there's no cartels. 0.78

01:56:04.000 Well, they kicked out the police because the cartels were on the take.

01:56:08.000 And they armed themselves.

01:56:10.000 There's a problem with some of these groups down there.

01:56:11.000 Like, there was a Netflix documentary on one of these Autodefensa groups that came up during the mid-2000s.

01:56:19.000 Uh, they, they're basically cartel groups that now are being, uh, guarding home, you know?

01:56:25.000 They just switch, you know, t-shirts.

01:56:28.000 Oh, and Sharon.

01:56:28.000 Let me, well, let me, let me, we got, we have some of these groups.

01:56:30.000 We got a super chat.

01:56:31.000 Uh, Smashing Random Key says, how does Sharon still exist?

01:56:35.000 How was it even allowed to happen?

01:56:37.000 I mean it's a small, it's a very small community and a lot of the weapons that they have are not the best weapons.

01:56:43.000 A lot of them were stolen from the local police armory and a lot of them are just hunting rifles or things that have been trafficked there like decades ago.

01:56:51.000 The reason they're not, they're being left alone, it's just too much of a hassle and also they're too much in the public eye right now.

01:56:57.000 So why mess with them?

01:56:58.000 But eventually they'll drop out of the public eye and influence will start seeping in.

01:57:03.000 How they usually kill these groups is that they can't self-sustain.

01:57:09.000 What happens when a bunch of extremely wealthy Bitcoin ANCAPs start sending resources so they can self-sustain?

01:57:16.000 Oh, that would be amazing.

01:57:17.000 Well, that's what we're hearing a lot of.

01:57:18.000 So when this went down, you have a lot of people who are like Bitcoin millionaire ANCAPs who are like, Anarchy?

01:57:26.000 Freedom?

01:57:26.000 No cartels, no government?

01:57:28.000 I'm there, baby!

01:57:29.000 And they're bringing their resources, they're bringing guns, they're bringing security.

01:57:33.000 I mean, if that's one way, another way is basically just televising the revolution.

01:57:38.000 Giving them eyes.

01:57:39.000 One of the main problems that these communities have is that they don't have eyes.

01:57:42.000 They don't have a way to cast out their story, their reality.

01:57:46.000 I get bombarded with pictures, videos, and stuff like that from all over Mexico.

01:57:51.000 And they say, dude, Ed, please post this.

01:57:53.000 I was like, where is this from?

01:57:55.000 This is from here.

01:57:56.000 Okay.

01:57:56.000 Just give me enough.

01:57:57.000 I'll send it to them all there.

01:57:59.000 Or I send it to, or I post it myself.

01:58:01.000 The main thing is that news coverage down there doesn't want to put it up because it goes against the government.

01:58:06.000 And that's not, that's not good.

01:58:07.000 And up here.

01:58:08.000 They don't care unless it's like something specifically related or tied to the U.S.

01:58:13.000 So main thing is giving these people voices.

01:58:15.000 Give these people the ability to tell their own stories and televise a revolution.

01:58:19.000 If they can figure that out, getting them guns, getting them bullets is only going to push them so far.

01:58:28.000 ReallyNow says, I have been to 20 different countries.

01:58:31.000 Listening to you talk about racism is accurate.

01:58:33.000 I have never experienced racism more than in Europe.

01:58:37.000 Definitely, I'd say so.

01:58:39.000 Particularly, people probably don't want to believe it, but Sweden, man.

01:58:45.000 No joke.

01:58:46.000 I go to somewhere like France or the UK and it's like, okay, there's racism.

01:58:50.000 No, you go to Sweden, and it's like extremely ethnically homogenous.

01:58:55.000 They pretend to not be racist, but boy, are they racist.

01:58:59.000 I'm telling you, man, I'm like in a car with a guy driving into a black neighborhood, and he's shaking and freaking out, being like, don't make me do this, man, and we're like...

01:59:06.000 Calm down, what are you doing?

01:59:07.000 We walk around the neighborhood, everything's fine.

01:59:10.000 Or I should say these migrant areas, a lot of Muslims, a lot of Somalis.

01:59:14.000 We walk around and it was like, there's nothing going on, man.

01:59:17.000 Go to Chicago.

01:59:18.000 That guy would fall to the ground and melt into a pile of jelly if you went to Chicago.

01:59:24.000 It's crazy to me, but it's not just about stuff like that, it's about how they don't hire people.

01:59:28.000 They shuffle them into these pocket communities where they force them to fend for themselves.

01:59:33.000 It's just brutal, man.

01:59:36.000 I've had some weird experiences here in the States that are not specifically, I mean, just uncomfortable now.

01:59:41.000 Like somewhere in Tennessee, somebody asked me if I was a Christian.

01:59:44.000 I said, yeah, I'm Catholic.

01:59:45.000 He said, you're not a Christian.

01:59:48.000 And I was like, okay.

01:59:49.000 And I said, you know, I, I took it with humor because it's humorous to me, you know?

01:59:56.000 But realistically, a lot of the specific hate that I've gotten in this country or life specific, like, Discrimination has been by some of the members of my own community, Mexicans.

02:00:07.000 Second generation, third generation people that call themselves Latinx for some reason, you know?

02:00:11.000 I was like, qué?

02:00:12.000 Latinx? 0.67

02:00:14.000 Cabrón, you know?

02:00:17.000 I wonder if YouTube gets mad when you say those things.

02:00:19.000 I mean, it's... Do they?

02:00:21.000 I have to know.

02:00:22.000 Yeah.

02:00:23.000 I mean, it's a whole thing where like... I've been swearing the whole time.

02:00:25.000 Yeah, you just talk.

02:00:27.000 You're talking bad about Mexico.

02:00:29.000 Mexico is a beautiful place.

02:00:31.000 What parts of Mexico did you live in?

02:00:33.000 Yeah.

02:00:33.000 Well, I go down there to Cancun and go there.

02:00:36.000 Mexico City is nice.

02:00:38.000 Mexico City is nice.

02:00:39.000 It's beautiful.

02:00:40.000 There's a lot of stuff that happens in Mexico City.

02:00:42.000 There's, you know, and outside of the outskirts of Mexico City, there's some pretty, you know, they got the pick. 1.00

02:00:47.000 People listen to this.

02:00:47.000 They can tell me about some of the places out there that are pretty, you know, A lot of bad stuff happened.

02:00:53.000 Yes, there's some beautiful places, there's some beautiful people, and I'm not in a fight with the people of Mexico.

02:01:00.000 I love the people of Mexico.

02:01:02.000 Part of me doing this and the stuff that I do is trying to give them voices and telling stories about stuff that happens down there.

02:01:09.000 But most of the hate that I got up here has been people are completely detached from that reality.

02:01:14.000 So talking to the dad who is from Mexico, like, what's the first thing you did when you get out to this country?

02:01:22.000 I bought a gun.

02:01:23.000 That's okay.

02:01:24.000 And then you talk to his grandson, what about you?

02:01:29.000 Oh, my dad's got a gun.

02:01:31.000 It's like, oh, guns kill people.

02:01:33.000 That's scary, right?

02:01:34.000 Aren't you afraid that people are carrying guns up here?

02:01:36.000 They have guns down there.

02:01:37.000 I was like, is that in front?

02:01:38.000 No, that's a beautiful thing.

02:01:40.000 Do the cartels 3D print weapons?

02:01:43.000 No.

02:01:44.000 Because...

02:01:45.000 The reason I ask is because you said in 2008 they were using these advanced technology drones.

02:01:49.000 I'm wondering if they're... Nah, I haven't seen 3D printed.

02:01:53.000 It doesn't make sense for them.

02:01:55.000 I've seen them being utilized a lot in Europe and stuff like that.

02:01:57.000 And in Myanmar I think has some sub guns showing up 3D printed.

02:02:04.000 Mexico, it has the largest commerce of firearms in the world next to it.

02:02:11.000 And the government in Mexico just sued a bunch of the firearms companies stateside because of the guns that are being trafficked.

02:02:19.000 Mysteriously enough, they didn't sue Sig Sauer because they're trying to buy guns for the military.

02:02:27.000 I always tell people when they're like, aren't you scared when you go to these countries?

02:02:30.000 Like, I haven't traveled in a while, but I used to fly.

02:02:32.000 I was on two planes a week.

02:02:34.000 And I'd be like, no, because people aren't crazy.

02:02:37.000 You know, this idea that you have got like kind of two camps of people.

02:02:40.000 You've got these people who think they can ride their bikes to Tajikistan and it's going to be fine. 0.76

02:02:44.000 And then they get hit and then ISIS jumps out and kills them.

02:02:45.000 That literally happened. 0.75

02:02:47.000 And then you have people who think you'll go to South America and they'll drag you through the streets and brutally beat you.

02:02:52.000 And I'm like, Yo. 0.99

02:02:54.000 So, some people believe stupid things, and it drives them to do something. 0.99

02:02:58.000 But it's not like their behavior isn't predictable. 0.98

02:03:01.000 What I mean is, if you're going to an area where you know ISIS is dominant, and you know what their ideology is, and you know what they're looking for, okay, well then, you're probably gonna be watching for that, and you gotta be careful.

02:03:10.000 But I was like, especially with going to like Venezuela and Brazil, South America stuff, I'm like, I know what a general idea of these people's motives, especially when it comes to like gangs, cartels, making money, running a business.

02:03:22.000 You don't interfere, you don't bother them, you mind your own business, you're probably fine.

02:03:25.000 My favorite though is when we were in Venezuela and they told me like a very common thing, one of the most common things is express kidnappings.

02:03:33.000 They'll pull up, they'll throw you in, they'll drive you to an ATM, say, take out your money, and then, you know, they'll ditch you or whatever.

02:03:39.000 But one guy told me a story where he got express kidnapped, and the guys are armed, they're putting a gun at him, and they're like, they, you know, drive him to an ATM, they're like, take out all the money, and he's like, I only have a couple, you know, hundred, whatever, and then they're like, take it out, they take it out, and then they're like, get in the car, and he's like, okay, and they're like, do you want a ride, man?

02:03:56.000 Is there somewhere we can drop you off?

02:03:57.000 He's like, yeah, I gotta go to work, and they're like, yeah, no problem, let's know where, he's like, yeah, it's around here, thanks, man, and they're like, alright, have a good one, dude.

02:04:03.000 Like, it's the craziest story, you know?

02:04:05.000 You think that, like, but after they get their money, they're just like, we'll drop you off now.

02:04:09.000 Yeah.

02:04:09.000 Hope everything's alright.

02:04:11.000 It's a thing.

02:04:11.000 I mean, it's a business.

02:04:13.000 It's a business.

02:04:14.000 They're human as well.

02:04:16.000 I had this guy who was a cardiologist.

02:04:19.000 He got abducted.

02:04:21.000 He spent like two months in.

02:04:22.000 And they did horrible things to him.

02:04:25.000 You know, basically wanted to convince his family to pay up.

02:04:29.000 When he was let go, he was let go because we did something and we found where he was being kept.

02:04:36.000 And, you know, we encountered the people that were holding him.

02:04:41.000 uh, when we were debriefing him, he would kept asking about the people that are

02:04:45.000 watching him because he was worried about them because these people, you

02:04:49.000 know, weren't specifically the ones responsible for abducting him, but they

02:04:52.000 weren't responsible to look out for him when he was, like they're being forced

02:04:56.000 to do it.

02:04:56.000 Dog kennel then they had set up for him.

02:04:58.000 Uh, and he was like, Hey, are they okay?

02:05:02.000 Are they fine?

02:05:03.000 I was like, what?

02:05:06.000 Stockholm Syndrome, basically.

02:05:08.000 They weren't fine.

02:05:09.000 None of them were fine.

02:05:11.000 And he went into a weird depression because of some of the stuff that happened to them.

02:05:15.000 It was so weird.

02:05:17.000 And again, stories like that are... My mom told me this long ago and it kind of made things clearer for me.

02:05:27.000 Nobody's against you.

02:05:28.000 They're for themselves.

02:05:29.000 Exactly.

02:05:29.000 When you learn that?

02:05:31.000 This is basically what I mean when I say people aren't crazy.

02:05:34.000 I've had to explain this to them.

02:05:37.000 If you know like what they're doing and why they're doing it, then it's like they're not going to randomly do things for the most part, right?

02:05:43.000 They don't want to put risk themselves.

02:05:45.000 They want to get something out of you.

02:05:47.000 So understand the motives of the person to the best of your ability and then try and navigate the situations.

02:05:52.000 And that means, like, I had someone try to pickpocket me in Spain.

02:05:56.000 They didn't succeed.

02:05:57.000 But I'm not about to pick a fight with a guy who's probably got friends around the corner operating as their backup.

02:06:02.000 He comes up, tries to grab my phone, fails, and then I just back away and avoid the situation.

02:06:07.000 Because what they do is, they'll have someone waiting around the corner or someone sitting down who's their spotter.

02:06:11.000 In case a fight breaks out, then they jump you.

02:06:13.000 So it's like, he failed, it's better that he's like, my risk is too high right now, I'm gonna walk.

02:06:17.000 And I'm like, and I'm not gonna get into a fight with him.

02:06:19.000 Yeah, part of that normal is a fluid concept lesson that I give people is, you know, I can walk around here with my iPhone, but somewhere else that's going to be a meal for a few weeks for somebody.

02:06:31.000 Month's salary.

02:06:33.000 Yeah, I can walk around here with my earring, but I'll go to Brazil and it's going to be ripped off your ear.

02:06:38.000 Don't be a resource.

02:06:39.000 Check yourself.

02:06:41.000 Make a travel debit card with a prepaid travel debit card.

02:06:46.000 Carry a travel phone.

02:06:47.000 Carry a burner phone that you can give out to somebody.

02:06:49.000 Just give out as a gift.

02:06:51.000 Every now and then I do security contracting jobs and the first thing I do is I go to the parking attendant, go to the major D, or go to the guy that knows everything.

02:07:00.000 And I give him a phone, a smartphone that's worth probably like $150 or $200 on eBay.

02:07:07.000 And I get the best intel on the planet there.

02:07:09.000 I just call him directly.

02:07:10.000 When I'm done, you can keep the phone.

02:07:12.000 Really?

02:07:12.000 Snap?

02:07:13.000 Yes.

02:07:14.000 Key to the city.

02:07:15.000 Yeah, dude.

02:07:16.000 But again, it's weird to tell people like, Ed, so what can I make to defend myself?

02:07:23.000 Buy a phone, give it to somebody there, make a friend.

02:07:25.000 Yeah?

02:07:26.000 Friends.

02:07:26.000 There you go.

02:07:27.000 I love it.

02:07:27.000 Invest in people.
