00:00:00.000 Did you ever do anything where you actually ever have a moment where you were actually scared?
00:00:04.660 Like, holy shit, we got to be careful with this.
00:00:06.600 Were your camera guys were worried?
00:00:08.020 Oh, all the time.
00:00:08.680 Where was that?
00:00:09.400 What's the scariest one?
00:00:10.820 I mean, personally, probably getting arrested by Border Patrol.
00:00:14.380 Oh, Rob, we have to do this.
00:00:17.580 Can you break down what you did here?
00:00:19.440 Because this is absolutely edgy.
00:00:22.040 Okay, so the video is called Border Patrol Arrest.
00:00:24.520 So let me first, before you watch this, let me tell you the purpose.
00:00:26.400 This is when the border was wide open and there was a big, you know, migrant crisis happening.
00:00:30.780 So I wanted to see what it was like on the Mexican side as far as the final step of actually meeting up with a coyote who was connected to the cartel and crossing the border, specifically over the river, because I wanted to get in the water as opposed to be in the hot desert.
00:00:43.200 And so, yeah, we did that.
00:00:44.400 I didn't actually, I didn't realize that we were going to cross the river until we got there.
00:00:48.980 But then I kind of put two and two together, and there was a guy that was collecting tacks with a machete that he was, like, hitting against this tree in the distance.
00:00:56.780 And I was like, all right, fuck, why?
00:00:57.840 I got to get out of Mexico. 0.97
00:00:59.220 I'm looking at America like, oh, home free, finally.
00:01:02.060 So, you know, I link arms with the coyote.
00:01:04.140 We cross the river.
00:01:05.200 I get to the American side, and I think that I'm good to go.
00:01:08.400 The coyote's like, man, stay down.
00:01:09.940 Like, you know, you can still get arrested.
00:01:11.680 Like, even if you're an American citizen, you can't just hop your own border.
00:01:14.400 And I was like, dude, I can hop my own border.
00:01:16.340 I've been here my whole life.
00:01:17.240 It's fine.
00:01:18.220 So I walk up, and then I get up, and then the Border Patrol agent is like, you know, stand up.
00:01:25.020 I stand up like I've done nothing wrong.
00:01:27.340 And he's like, you know, you just, it's a felony, right?
00:01:29.720 And I was like, what do you mean?
00:01:30.660 He's like, you have to go through a port of entry.
00:01:32.640 And I was like, oh, shit, my bad.
00:01:34.560 Can I get a ticket or something?
00:01:35.700 And he was like, no, bro.
00:01:37.580 So he took me to a processing center for migrants.
00:01:41.460 And, yeah, it was like hundreds of them wearing space blankets in this freezing room.
00:01:45.600 They make it really cold.
00:01:46.320 Did you record it, or they didn't let you record it?
00:01:47.240 I couldn't record it.
00:01:47.580 I couldn't record this, so we had a designer do like a 3D animation rendering of it.
00:01:52.240 So I go into the room after being processed, and like all the migrants, like it was the 1.00
00:01:56.320 worst day of their life, obviously, because they've just gotten caught trying to come
00:01:58.980 into the U.S.
00:01:59.440 Rob, we can hear the audio if you want to mute it, because we hear it.
00:02:01.360 But it made their life, seeing a white guy walk into the holding tank.
00:02:06.140 All these guys were having the worst day, and they just stand up, they're just laughing.
00:02:08.640 They're like, what the hell did you do?
00:02:10.100 What are you doing?
00:02:10.740 And I speak Spanish.
00:02:11.440 Do you have the clip of Speaking to the Coyotes?
00:02:13.780 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:14.420 Go to the front, Rob?
00:02:16.440 I think Speaking to the Coyotes is where?
00:02:18.400 Earlier?
00:02:18.900 Yeah.
00:02:19.180 Okay.
00:02:19.960 Well, I would say around the seven-minute mark.
00:02:24.320 Yeah.
00:02:25.200 Earlier or right there?
00:02:26.140 So that's the Coyote who I blurred out, and he was-
00:02:28.860 Go back a little bit, Rob.
00:02:29.860 Go back a little bit, because he starts talking.
00:02:31.900 Okay, right there.
00:02:32.520 Right there.
00:02:33.120 Right there.
00:02:33.480 Hard wire at all.
00:02:34.680 It's a non-issue and a distraction.
00:02:36.620 Designed to create controversy from afar.
00:02:39.460 He says this is the perfect place to cross. 1.00
00:02:43.900 You're in Mexico now.
00:02:44.700 Yeah.
00:02:44.920 He's worried it's too deep.
00:02:45.340 You can see my face.
00:02:57.440 I'm like,
00:02:57.660 You see, I'm like, what?
00:03:01.700 But I didn't realize up until this point that we were actually going to cross the river ourselves.
00:03:05.900 I was expecting just like a tour of their route.
00:03:09.060 But obviously, they had other plans.
00:03:10.700 God damn it.
00:03:18.620 It was also going to cost us $5,000 a piece.
00:03:21.060 Did you have it?
00:03:21.640 This was not discussed, but I wasn't sure what to do.
00:03:24.020 So,
00:03:24.220 Okay.
00:03:29.020 Okay.
00:03:40.700 At this point, it became quite obvious that I was in far too deep.
00:03:54.240 The coyote told me that after crossing the river, we had to walk from Eagle Pass to Uvalde, Texas,
00:03:59.400 which is over 67 miles on foot.
00:04:01.780 How would this be possible?
00:04:03.040 According to Apple Maps, it said it would take over 24 hours.
00:04:06.360 We had no water.
00:04:07.100 Plus, we apparently owed these guys $5,000.
00:04:09.400 Looking back, I would have asked to turn around, but we were in far too deep.
00:04:13.200 And while they're being pretty cool, you never know when a switch could flip or something.
00:04:16.680 Abruptly, the younger coyote asked me to duck down because a border patrol boat was speeding by.
00:04:28.040 How are you getting this footage?
00:04:30.040 We got that from just YouTube.
00:04:31.960 They publish.
00:04:33.020 They do this sweeps everywhere.
00:04:34.700 How are you feeling at this moment?
00:04:49.200 Anxiety or no?
00:04:49.860 You look pretty calm.
00:04:50.880 Yeah.
00:04:51.320 The thing is, I don't really feel anxiety until like I'm looking at the footage.
00:04:54.660 Like, it's funny.
00:04:55.480 In the moment, I wasn't nervous, but watching this now, I'm nervous because I realized this is like a bad idea.
00:05:00.780 So what's about to happen next to you?
00:05:02.260 I'm about to cross the border and get arrested by border patrol.
00:05:04.520 Go to the border patrol part when he's talking.
00:05:06.780 Do you record when you're talking to border patrol?
00:05:08.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:08.880 Go up and go.
00:05:09.520 Yeah, right there.
00:05:10.540 Go back a little bit.
00:05:12.140 Is this it?
00:05:12.980 Okay, press play.
00:05:13.460 Yeah, this is now in the U.S.
00:05:15.260 Coyote's telling me to be quiet.
00:05:16.200 Let's be right there.
00:05:24.660 Roly-poly form.
00:05:27.420 Manos arriba.
00:05:30.480 Who is that?
00:05:31.020 Come here, you.
00:05:32.040 Speak English.
00:05:32.740 Hands up.
00:05:33.300 Speak English?
00:05:33.900 Yeah.
00:05:34.240 Get up.
00:05:34.740 Let me see your hands.
00:05:35.420 Got any guns on you?
00:05:36.440 No, sir.
00:05:37.200 Face away from me.
00:05:38.060 We're journalists.
00:05:39.520 You haven't paid five grand yet.
00:05:44.420 You too.
00:05:44.880 You speak English?
00:05:45.800 Yeah.
00:05:46.460 Stand up.
00:05:47.600 I couldn't believe it.
00:05:49.160 Border patrol had been watching us the entire time since we entered the forest.
00:05:53.260 Yeah, I can clearly hear them swimming.
00:05:54.920 And set up the English on the American side to apprehend us. 0.53
00:05:57.700 You too.
00:05:57.900 Face away from me.
00:05:58.980 Walk backwards over here.
00:06:00.040 Oh, my God.
00:06:00.400 Hey.
00:06:01.140 Ven pa'cabue.
00:06:02.760 Immediately, my coyotes jumped back into the water, swimming back to Mexico.
00:06:07.660 Come back.
00:06:08.400 Come back.
00:06:08.760 Over here.
00:06:09.080 Get over here. 0.99
00:06:10.180 This left us alone in border patrol custody.
00:06:14.880 There was one guy here.
00:06:15.980 He obviously ran back.
00:06:17.000 And then the two USCs right there.
00:06:19.920 And watch.
00:06:20.460 He grabs the camera and it's still rolling.
00:06:22.320 He doesn't even realize it's rolling.
00:06:25.260 That's a border patrol agent.
00:06:26.740 No shit.
00:06:27.340 Yeah.
00:06:27.540 That's perfect footage.
00:06:29.200 Yeah.
00:06:29.700 That's golden.
00:06:30.840 Dude.
00:06:31.300 Right?
00:06:33.120 Wow.
00:06:33.620 Look at this.
00:06:34.140 He's doing a great job.
00:06:35.220 He should be a camera guy.
00:06:36.220 Honestly, this is pretty much a commercial for the US border patrol.
00:06:38.960 Dude, this is like, these guys are great shooters, literally.
00:06:41.280 Yeah.
00:06:41.520 Look at the cinematography.
00:06:42.880 He's holding it like at a perfect eye level here or hip level.
00:06:45.280 And we're sitting in the back of the car there.
00:06:50.340 You can't see us, but.
00:06:53.240 Come on, bro.
00:06:54.260 Good for you.
00:06:55.060 Right?
00:06:55.940 You should have given him the $5,000.
00:06:57.760 It doesn't get better than that.
00:06:58.760 No.
00:06:59.060 Wow.
00:06:59.960 So now what happens?
00:07:00.880 You go to jail?
00:07:01.640 Yeah.
00:07:01.940 Well, I went to a processing center and they just helped me.
00:07:04.140 This is the one you were with a couple hundred other guys that got caught as well?
00:07:06.700 Yeah.
00:07:06.720 And then they put me in a solitary confinement cell for like three days.
00:07:09.800 Did somebody say like, what the, what were you thinking?
00:07:11.660 Yeah, they understood, but like the immigration court system was so bloated because of the
00:07:16.340 crisis that I couldn't get heard by a judge for like three days.
00:07:19.320 As soon as she heard that I was an American citizen, they just gave me a $10,000 fine and
00:07:22.880 dropped me off at a gas station.
00:07:23.720 You paid the fine?
00:07:24.620 Yeah, I paid it.
00:07:25.320 So you didn't pay the $5,000 to the coyote, but you paid the $10,000 to the government.
00:07:28.340 I probably should pay the coyote.
00:07:29.960 Shut up. 0.95
00:07:30.740 You paid the coyote.
00:07:35.180 I never thought that.
00:07:36.660 I can't tell somebody.
00:07:37.660 Well, listen, man, that guy's probably upset.
00:07:39.180 He's like, look, dude, I did my job.
00:07:40.920 Yeah.
00:07:41.500 Well, to be fair, I mean, I got arrested.
00:07:43.140 They were supposed to help me get into the U.S.
00:07:44.900 They're not arrested.
00:07:45.800 No.
00:07:45.920 So he didn't fulfill his commitment.
00:07:47.420 No, not at all.
00:07:48.480 That's disappointing.
00:07:49.300 That's a good point.
00:07:50.360 You're a businessman.
00:07:51.260 You want things to get done and then I'll pay you.
00:07:53.180 Definitely.
00:07:53.540 I'll think about paying you.
00:07:54.720 Dude, it was horrible in there.
00:07:56.460 It was the most depressing place I've ever seen in my life.
00:07:57.800 What's the worst part about it?
00:07:58.740 Just seeing like little kids covered in water from the Rio Grande with sticks in their hair,
00:08:02.820 crying hysterically with their moms as they're being, you know, detained by border patrol
00:08:07.460 and put into freezing rooms where they're just screaming all night.
00:08:11.160 And in my cell, they had a TV and the movie The Matrix was playing and it was, but it
00:08:16.520 was just the loading screen.
00:08:17.460 I couldn't adjust it.
00:08:19.040 So it was like play special features and it was the same song over and over again.
00:08:22.000 And I finally got the jailer to change it to a different movie.
00:08:24.720 And they played the movie Marley and Me, the Owen Wilson film about the dog who passes
00:08:28.020 away, spoiler alert, over and over again.
00:08:30.360 So I had to watch Marley and Me for three fucking days, which is like, at least it's a decent
00:08:39.340 movie, but I don't know for three days.
00:08:40.940 I know every scene by heart.
00:08:42.140 And so I get out and my mom calls me and she was like, you're taking years off my life.
00:08:46.900 You can never do that again.
00:08:47.760 But nowadays, more than ever, the brand you wear reflects and represent who you are.
00:08:52.880 So for us, if you wear a Future Looks Bright hat or a Valuetainment gear, you're telling
00:08:58.720 the world, I'm optimistic.
00:09:00.800 I'm excited about what's going to be happening.
00:09:02.420 But you're a free thinker.
00:09:03.340 You question things.
00:09:04.080 You like debate.
00:09:04.620 And by the way, last year, 120,000 people got a piece of Future Looks Bright gear with
