Speaker 1: Up next, Luna talks with Anna Paulina. Luna part of
Speaker 1: the gang, which we tend to think of propaganda as
Speaker 1: something that exists in authoritarian states like China, Russia, Iran,
Speaker 1: the usual suspects. But don't kid yourself. Propaganda exists right
Speaker 1: here in the United States, and nowhere is it more
Speaker 1: erroneous than our media's own coverage of immigration. This is
Speaker 1: Luna talks with Anna Paulina. So we've noticed that just
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks especially, but really over
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, that one of the top
Speaker 1: issues affecting voters in this country, and I think one
Speaker 1: of the top issues that the media uses to really
Speaker 1: polarize our country is immigration. Right, Immigration does not just
Speaker 1: affect Hispanic Americans. It's one of those multi layered, almost
Speaker 1: onion situations that you can't just take a week approach
Speaker 1: and expect it to go away. It's only going to
Speaker 1: stick a band aid on a very big problem. So
Speaker 1: before I get into this, I wanted to tell you
Speaker 1: my story as to really how I became political and
Speaker 1: when I realized political propaganda was being used in this country.
Speaker 1: So a little bit about myself and I think I
Speaker 1: explained this in the previous episode, is that I didn't
Speaker 1: grow up in a necessarily political family, and in fact,
Speaker 1: my goal for why I eventually went into the military
Speaker 1: and what I wanted to do is I was on
Speaker 1: track to go to medical school, and when my husband
Speaker 1: was shot in Afghanistan, I ended up working with various organizations,
Speaker 1: veterans organizations to shed light on post traumatic stress disorder,
Speaker 1: and had that not happened, I would have never uncovered
Speaker 1: the topic of counter trafficking. And so one of the
Speaker 1: organizations that was a veteran nonprofit that I came across
Speaker 1: was a counter trafficking organization that dealt was specifically rescuing
Speaker 1: children and had a large focus along the US Mexico
Speaker 1: border and to help setting up sting operations, working with
Speaker 1: local law enforcement to get these children out of the
Speaker 1: hands of their traffickers. Now I say this and very naively,
Speaker 1: I had no idea that this was a problem. I think,
Speaker 1: like many Americans, just because we don't see it happening
Speaker 1: right in front of us. It's never one of those
Speaker 1: things that I even think that the news really talks about,
Speaker 1: and they should be. They should be addressing this issue
Speaker 1: because human trafficking is essentially modern day slavery, and it's
Speaker 1: happening all around us and right underneath our noses. So
Speaker 1: after I came across this organization, I started doing my
Speaker 1: own personal research, and it's one of those things that
Speaker 1: you hear about what's happening and you want to make change.
Speaker 1: I've never spoken to anyone today that has heard about
Speaker 1: this and not wanted to actively get involved in combating it.
Speaker 1: So once I realized it was a problem, actually remember
Speaker 1: seeing a promo that Netflix was going to be putting on,
Speaker 1: and ironically enough, we'll get into that in a minute,
Speaker 1: but Netflix actually ended up canceling this series because it
Speaker 1: was prior to the election, and of course it was
Speaker 1: called Contra Land. That was the series that they were
Speaker 1: supposed to put up, and they were working with the
Speaker 1: organization called Our Rescue, and Netflix canceled the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I believe it was for political reasons, because if the
Speaker 1: American people knew it was happening at the border, they
Speaker 1: would never ever ever be okay with these open border policies.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, I ended up ordering and writing the State Department,
Speaker 1: And for those of you tuning in, you can actually
Speaker 1: get a free copy of the Human Trafficking Report. It
Speaker 1: comes out every single year and the State Department has
Speaker 1: it loaded with facts, and so I ordered the eighteen
Speaker 1: and twenty nineteen Human Trafficking Report. And as I'm self educating,
Speaker 1: as I'm reading through this, just imagine it's like late
Speaker 1: at night. I'm going through this. I'm supposed to be
Speaker 1: studying for the m CAT and here I am looking
Speaker 1: over this massive document and book of just information, and
Speaker 1: it was horrifying. And I remember seeing this number eighteen thousand,
Speaker 1: and You're like, what is that eighteen thousand dollars? What
Speaker 1: is eighteen thousand thou is a number of women annually
Speaker 1: that are trafficked on estimation? Okay, this is just a
Speaker 1: slight estimate of how many women are traffic annially along
Speaker 1: the US Mexico border. That's not including women and children.
Speaker 1: So the more I'm going into this, I am googling
Speaker 1: articles and one of the articles that really stuck with
Speaker 1: me was an article by CNN. And so the article
Speaker 1: was published actually November, and I'm telling you that date
Speaker 1: because it's important for this story for you to understand
Speaker 1: what's happening in our national media with propaganda. So I
Speaker 1: read this article about a woman named Carla Jassin though okay,
Speaker 1: if you want to read it later, it's k A
Speaker 1: R L A and then J A C I N
Speaker 1: T O and CNN wrote an article about her because
Speaker 1: she was rescued from a trafficking situation and from the
Speaker 1: time that she was traffic to the time that she
Speaker 1: was rescued, she was raped thousand, two hundred times. Now
Speaker 1: you see that number and you realize that that is
Speaker 1: not a made up number, and it's a lot to stomach.
Speaker 1: And I apologize if some of you maybe might think
Speaker 1: that this is too heavy, because I think that everyone
Speaker 1: should know this story. And you see this young girl
Speaker 1: and you realize that she was trafficked from the time
Speaker 1: that she was probably thirteen fourteen years old to the
Speaker 1: time that she was twenty one maybe, and that during
Speaker 1: that time that happened. And so I posted this to
Speaker 1: social media, and going back to why social media is
Speaker 1: so important, that's the best way that people learn is
Speaker 1: by peer to peer interaction and sharing information. And I
Speaker 1: wanted people to realize that trafficking is not just a
Speaker 1: clean word. There's a lot of bad things that go
Speaker 1: along with it. And the reaction that I got was.
Speaker 1: I realized people just didn't understand. They weren't educated. People
Speaker 1: thought that this was made up up. They didn't realize
Speaker 1: that it was a true story. And this was one
Speaker 1: isolated incident. This happens on a regular basis at the
Speaker 1: US Mexico border every single day. Seven doesn't take time off,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, unlike drugs, humans can be used time and
Speaker 1: time again, so it is a more profitable industry. As
Speaker 1: I'm continuing this research, I then discover articles from UNA SEF,
Speaker 1: which I would not consider UNA SEF, you know, conservative
Speaker 1: or a Republican organization, and they're saying that the most
Speaker 1: targeted demographics are migrant children and women of the Hispanic
Speaker 1: origin and demographic mainly from South American Mexico. So I
Speaker 1: realized all of this stuff. I'm still on track to
Speaker 1: go to medical school. I'm simply using my social media
Speaker 1: to share information because I believe it's the right thing
Speaker 1: to do. And that's when I had my AHA moment.
Speaker 1: Whether you want to call it a red pill moment
Speaker 1: or it was like a light bulb clicked behind me.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in the hotel room for my friend's wedding,
Speaker 1: and I was doing some work on my computer, and
Speaker 1: I think, like most people, I sometimes I like to
Speaker 1: have stuff on in the background, whether it's music or
Speaker 1: the TV. And at this point, I had the news
Speaker 1: on and I was actually listening to CNN, and as
Speaker 1: I'm just focusing on what I'm writing, I keyed into
Speaker 1: some key things that the commentator was talking about, and
Speaker 1: they were talking about what was happening at the US
Speaker 1: Mexico Boarder. They're talking about this train that had been
Speaker 1: stopped in Mexico City by the federal police, and that
Speaker 1: the federal police had stopped this train and discovered that
Speaker 1: there was a ton I'm talking about a ton of
Speaker 1: women and children, and that among these women and children
Speaker 1: were MS thirteen and for those that might not know,
Speaker 1: m S thrtinas m S thirteen as a cartel. And
Speaker 1: so the federal police end up stopping this train and
Speaker 1: they don't want to let it proceed forward. It was
Speaker 1: inbound to the United States for obvious reasons. You're never
Speaker 1: ever going to see women and children with hardened criminals.
Speaker 1: That's not even normal from what I know on trafficking.
Speaker 1: That is literally the startup to how they run these
Speaker 1: people into this country. And so I start paying attention,
Speaker 1: and mind you, this is after my self education and
Speaker 1: really discovering that we have a huge problem with that.
Speaker 1: And this is also to mind you, the tail in
Speaker 1: the beginning of So this is prior to the November election.
Speaker 1: What I also uncovered as I'm doing my research, and
Speaker 1: this is just kind of interesting footnote, is that according
Speaker 1: to p Hispanic dot org, the largest voting minority in
Speaker 1: this country are Hispanic Americans, specifically of Mexican descent. Okay,
Speaker 1: so watching this segment, I know all this information, and
Speaker 1: the reporter says, here at CNN, we believe everyone has
Speaker 1: a chance and deserves a right to enter this country.
Speaker 1: And so to my understanding, it was either the network
Speaker 1: or people at the network, but they put together money
Speaker 1: to bring these people to the United States, had a
Speaker 1: camera crew on it, and filmed border patrol essentially turning
Speaker 1: these people away. And the segment ended with at the time,
Speaker 1: it was candidate Trump. Candidate Trump, this Trump person has
Speaker 1: these very anti immigration policies and is xenophobic and this
Speaker 1: isn't right and we believe that American deserves better. Here CNN,
Speaker 1: and then they cut the segment and it I think
Speaker 1: it went to a pillow commercial, and I remember just
Speaker 1: like sitting there and it all hit me at once,
Speaker 1: the people that were being trafficked, because there's no doubt
Speaker 1: in my mind that that's what was happening. They were
Speaker 1: talking about what happens with the human trafficking, they were
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that these are young women and children.
Speaker 1: Are they related, are they mothers? Are they told what
Speaker 1: is happening? And then they didn't want to talk about
Speaker 1: the fact that there was a cartel. They simply wanted
Speaker 1: to make it about politics. And I saw this, and
Speaker 1: I remember feeling so disgusted, and I remember feeling so angry.
Speaker 1: I'm not the type of person that's anti immigrant. I'm
Speaker 1: not the type of person that's xenophobic. Here I am
Speaker 1: basically half Hispanic, having grandparents that are immigrants, having multiple
Speaker 1: family members that are from Mexico, and yet I know
Speaker 1: about the trafficking. And part of the reason why I
Speaker 1: agree with legal immigration is because I don't want people
Speaker 1: to get hurt, because it's a very bad world out there,
Speaker 1: and it's naive to think otherwise. And so I see
Speaker 1: all those I film a moment, right, and and then
Speaker 1: I realized it's propaganda and just give you the idea
Speaker 1: of what propaganda is. According to the Merriam Webster definition,
Speaker 1: it's the spreading of ideas or information or rumor for
Speaker 1: the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause,
Speaker 1: or person, ideas, facts, or allegations to deliberately spread in
Speaker 1: information to further once cause or damage an opposing cause.
Speaker 1: And that is what the network was doing. And ironically enough,
Speaker 1: having known that years ago and having that own intuition,
Speaker 1: and I think just being educated on the topics of
Speaker 1: what was happening at the border, not only did I
Speaker 1: assume that, but I apparently assumed right, because only a
Speaker 1: few days ago, in April thirteen, the Project Veritas actually
Speaker 1: just broke a story where they have undercover footage of
Speaker 1: the head Hauncho at CNN admitting that propaganda is used
Speaker 1: at the network against conservatives and people that threatened the
Speaker 1: d n C and their ideologies. Guys, this is a
Speaker 1: huge problem in the United States, the fact that networks
Speaker 1: would knowingly bury information or lie to the American people
Speaker 1: in order to manipulate entire demographics based on their race,
Speaker 1: based on their cultural ethnicity, to get voting blocks so
Speaker 1: that they can have total power and control after you
Speaker 1: realize that you cannot go back to the way that
Speaker 1: you once were. I knew that I could no longer
Speaker 1: stay silent, and that is why I started using my
Speaker 1: social media to make that voice and information heard because
Speaker 1: there was no one like me. There was no one
Speaker 1: from the Hispanic American demographic that was targeting to wake
Speaker 1: the American people up and wake up a demographic that
Speaker 1: had been lied to. And that was only the tip
Speaker 1: of the iceberg. Once you see what's happening at the border,
Speaker 1: you cannot unsee it. Human trafficking, drug running, the real
Speaker 1: life version of Cicario, that movie. It's all happening and
Speaker 1: it's infuriating. But I think the worst part about all
Speaker 1: of this is knowing that establishment elected official and Democrats
Speaker 1: especially know these numbers. They know these facts. It's not
Speaker 1: like they're not sitting in briefings from the State Department
Speaker 1: and the Department of Homeland Security. But before we get
Speaker 1: into all of that, before we get into those numbers,
Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break, So stay tuned
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. So to get into some
Speaker 1: of these numbers that I know for a fact, are
Speaker 1: elected officials are briefed on stats on human trafficking. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna warn you, guys, this is not something that
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people can stomach. And so
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that because I remember when I first
Speaker 1: started getting into these numbers, and when I first started
Speaker 1: researching about it, it actually made me depressed. And I
Speaker 1: do remember reading some of these numbers and I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie. I cried. It's it's horrifying. Ambassador Callistic ing
Speaker 1: Rich actually wrote a paper on human trafficking at the
Speaker 1: southern border. You can read that paper on Gingridge through sixty.
Speaker 1: But they ended up formatting that human trafficking stats happening
Speaker 1: at the border only get worse when you have open
Speaker 1: border policies. And so this is where I tell people
Speaker 1: that this is not a political issue. Okay, they try
Speaker 1: to make it one, but really what we're looking at
Speaker 1: is are you for or are you against human slavery?
Speaker 1: And the reason I put it in those terms is
Speaker 1: because the United States prides itself off of being a
Speaker 1: country that quote unquote abolished slavery years ago, and the
Speaker 1: whole slavery topic is used on a regular basis, I
Speaker 1: think against black Americans, right, they don't want to let
Speaker 1: America move forward from it, so they selectively cherry pick
Speaker 1: this information, but they don't talk about what's happening in
Speaker 1: the Hispanic demographic with the slavery that's really impacting our
Speaker 1: community and people like us coming and trying to come
Speaker 1: here into the United States, or sometimes that are being trafficked,
Speaker 1: whether it's for labor or sexual purposes. So to get
Speaker 1: into some of these numbers of human trafficking, journeys are
Speaker 1: made through official border control points worldwide. That means that's
Speaker 1: happening even at our entry control points. So if that's
Speaker 1: happening there, imagine an open sector of the border without
Speaker 1: any officials. And that information is from CT Data Collaborative
Speaker 1: dot org. I've been down to the border multiple times,
Speaker 1: and I can tell you that one of the most
Speaker 1: horrifying things to realize is that at some points on
Speaker 1: the border, if there is even any wall or fencing
Speaker 1: or anything, there's parts that you literally might have a
Speaker 1: string of rusty barbed wire that maybe might be about
Speaker 1: knee high, and then it breaks off and you can
Speaker 1: see these open corridors that are used on a regular
Speaker 1: basis by coyotes. You'll see children's shoes, you see. They
Speaker 1: what they'll do is they'll spray paint these black gallon
Speaker 1: of water jugs. But the thing is is that it
Speaker 1: gets so dangerous and so hot in that open sector
Speaker 1: of the border that I know you the Arizona and
Speaker 1: Border Patrol off officials have posted that the numbers of
Speaker 1: bodies and bones that they find that litter the desert
Speaker 1: into those open sectors number in the thousands. So it's
Speaker 1: not like these people are coming here easily, nor should
Speaker 1: they write like, I don't agree with illegal immigration, but
Speaker 1: you have to think about the impact that it's happening
Speaker 1: with these people who are also probably lied to that
Speaker 1: they are essentially dying in the process of coming here,
Speaker 1: whether they're being forced, who are being lied to about
Speaker 1: the American dream that they'll have access to. In a
Speaker 1: story from the New York Post, according to US Immigrations
Speaker 1: and Customs, moving human beings as cargo pays into the
Speaker 1: billions of dollars for transnational criminal smuggling organizations. So in
Speaker 1: February alone, okay, guys, in February alone, smugglers received four
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven point five million dollars. That's an average
Speaker 1: of fourteen point seven million dollars per day for transporting
Speaker 1: migrants from Central America and Mexico into the United States.
Speaker 1: I first heard these numbers and I remember hearing an
Speaker 1: estimation from Tim Ballard, who's the founder of Our Rescue,
Speaker 1: which is a counter trafficking organization and nonprofit that I
Speaker 1: am connected to. I've worked and volunteered extensively with them
Speaker 1: to shed light on this topic. But again, to put
Speaker 1: it best, drugs are used once human beings can be
Speaker 1: used time and time again, and unfortunately, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of sick people in this country that think that they
Speaker 1: can purchase someone and that it's not a problem and
Speaker 1: that it's totally okay, and it is not. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna plug Our Rescue real quick. If you guys want
Speaker 1: to find more information about how to get involved, and
Speaker 1: go to our Rescue dot org and find out information there,
Speaker 1: and they're always looking for volunteers. In my own research,
Speaker 1: the State Department is sing that the United States is
Speaker 1: the top three in the top three for the world
Speaker 1: for consumption of this And when I realized that I
Speaker 1: could use my voice and after I joined Turning Point,
Speaker 1: I actually wanted to make a documentary a docuseries on
Speaker 1: what was happening at the border. So I linked up
Speaker 1: with a border patrol Union asn't it by the name
Speaker 1: of Art del Quet though, And I remember interviewing him
Speaker 1: and hearing his story about what was really happening down there.
Speaker 1: And this is the stuff that I don't even think
Speaker 1: Fox News would put up there because it was such
Speaker 1: It's one of the stories that you hear and it
Speaker 1: sticks with you and then you realize that this is
Speaker 1: not just political, Like I do believe that people that
Speaker 1: are fighting this or doing God's work because of the
Speaker 1: horrors that of the that you hear that's happening to
Speaker 1: these people. So he was telling me, and mind you,
Speaker 1: Art's family is directly from the other side of the border,
Speaker 1: so he's Hispanic. He's been doing this since he, I
Speaker 1: think was twenty years old. And he's telling me that
Speaker 1: him and another officer came up on a group of
Speaker 1: about I think it was twenty women and twenty men,
Speaker 1: and they were all going together and they were actually
Speaker 1: running what he said I believe was backpacks full of
Speaker 1: marijuana and narcotics, so their drug mules and they're running
Speaker 1: them across the border. And one of these open sectors,
Speaker 1: and I remember he thought it was weird because it
Speaker 1: was just women and just men. And then when he
Speaker 1: obviously arrested them and they all got into one of
Speaker 1: the vehicles for border patrol, this woman would not stop crying,
Speaker 1: and she's uncontrollably crying, and in Spanish, Art goes, what's like,
Speaker 1: what's wrong? Why are you crying? Tell me like, are
Speaker 1: you okay? Are you sick? What's happening? And she goes,
Speaker 1: where's my son? Where my kids? And Art goes, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? Like, what do you mean where is
Speaker 1: your son and your kids? There's no one else. It
Speaker 1: was just you and just the men. She goes, well,
Speaker 1: my husband's over there, but where is my son. They
Speaker 1: said that I would get my son back and my
Speaker 1: kids back, and Art goes, we haven't found anyone. So
Speaker 1: what he found out had happened is that the traffickers
Speaker 1: and the I assumed cartel, had separated the women from
Speaker 1: the men and them from their children, used the children
Speaker 1: as tools to make sure that they ran the drug
Speaker 1: across the border, and then once the families got arrested,
Speaker 1: Art still doesn't know what happened to those kids to
Speaker 1: this day. And you think about that, and it hits
Speaker 1: a really deep spot. I think for me, I just
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what happened to those kids. But I
Speaker 1: can tell you that those people that are doing what's
Speaker 1: happening at the border, that's not they're not influenced by God.
Speaker 1: And you want to pray for these people because it's
Speaker 1: it's really horrifying what's happening these unaccompanied miners. You know,
Speaker 1: those six hundred that are coming to the border every
Speaker 1: single day. These are kids, guys right there. I know
Speaker 1: that they're not American children, But at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, is it not our moral obligation to ensure
Speaker 1: that any child is not being exploited, and that any
Speaker 1: child is rightfully in the hands of their parents, and
Speaker 1: that we should stop in every possible way the exploitation
Speaker 1: of these innocent children. So recently there was footage of
Speaker 1: miners being dropped on the other side of a thirteen
Speaker 1: foot wall and being left by traffickers. And currently our
Speaker 1: own American adoption program is so bogged down that a
Speaker 1: lot of our youth, if children are over the age
Speaker 1: of twelve, they end up in these boys homes or
Speaker 1: girls homes and in the foster care system, which you know,
Speaker 1: I do applaud any foster parent, but ultimately, no child
Speaker 1: is better off in a government program or government housing.
Speaker 1: They're going to be better off in the hands of
Speaker 1: their parents. And that is one of the issues that
Speaker 1: we're facing now, is what do we do with these kids?
Speaker 1: And a lot of people say, okay, so I talked
Speaker 1: to my friends and family, and this is one of
Speaker 1: those issues, especially leading up to election cycle, that families
Speaker 1: I think couldn't even sit down at the dinner table
Speaker 1: and discuss because there's such a polarization fed by the
Speaker 1: propaganda in the mainstream media about what was actually happening
Speaker 1: and what policies were in place for certain reasons. I mean,
Speaker 1: I will still hold true to this today that I
Speaker 1: would rather have a child separated temporarily from their parents
Speaker 1: to confirm biological ties to that family, then put children
Speaker 1: in the hands of their traffickers. And that's something that
Speaker 1: really the Biden administration went back on, was a policy
Speaker 1: put in place by President Trump to separate children temporarily
Speaker 1: from people posing as their family members. We know that
Speaker 1: children are used on a regular basis to exploit this
Speaker 1: asylum process, and I will never backtrack from that statement,
Speaker 1: because I still believe that we should be doing it
Speaker 1: to today and we're not. There's ways that you can
Speaker 1: talk with your friends and family about that. But what
Speaker 1: I tell you is that this topic, especially when you're
Speaker 1: realizing that our voices have been suppressed, that this is
Speaker 1: not a conspiracy theory. Human trafficking has been going on
Speaker 1: since the dawn of time. But here, you know, we
Speaker 1: are one of the greatest superpowers in the world. We
Speaker 1: have all this technology right that can identify and find
Speaker 1: people that show up to riots. But you're telling me
Speaker 1: that we can't stop what's happening at the US Mexico border,
Speaker 1: or find out information and track down some of these
Speaker 1: people on online sites. It's a hip hopocricy to me
Speaker 1: that I believe that everyone's kind of called to do something,
Speaker 1: and I believe that people tuning into this show really
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to make a difference. You can shed
Speaker 1: light on this, you can use your social media, you
Speaker 1: can organize events to benefit nonprofits that are fighting for this,
Speaker 1: and you know yourself, can actually get involved with local
Speaker 1: law enforcement to help fight some of the worst things
Speaker 1: that we're facing in modern times, which is human slavery,
Speaker 1: So it's not just the only thing that right, Like
Speaker 1: we know that human trafficking is a large aspect, but
Speaker 1: there's this aspect of also labor trafficking, which we'll get
Speaker 1: into in a second, and then drug running and growing
Speaker 1: up in southern California, growing up right near really Tijuana,
Speaker 1: I saw what happened in the nineties. Especially A lot
Speaker 1: of people don't realize that NAFTA, initially when it was past,
Speaker 1: actually tanked a lot of Mexico's economy. So it created
Speaker 1: a surge in illegal immigration because there was such an
Speaker 1: influx in the black market and a lot of the
Speaker 1: farming communities in Mexico we're just completely destroyed by NAPTA.
Speaker 1: So a lot of these people were coming to the
Speaker 1: United States looking for work. And I remember growing up
Speaker 1: in Santa Anna and seeing a lot of and mind you,
Speaker 1: my dad's family had come here legally, but seeing a
Speaker 1: lot of people that weren't legal and you could tell,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't they weren't assimilated as how is
Speaker 1: how you really know? But I remember growing up in
Speaker 1: that environment. But to go along with that, you have
Speaker 1: the lack of assimilation and the fact that a lot
Speaker 1: of these people are living in essentially the black market
Speaker 1: of society, so they're operating under the table, and because
Speaker 1: of that, you have that gang culture that develops. If
Speaker 1: that's not bad enough, you realize that the drugs that
Speaker 1: are coming in through our southern border, they impact every
Speaker 1: aspect of society, right like, they're not discriminatory based on
Speaker 1: race or wealth. I think everyone who's listened to this
Speaker 1: know someone or might have a family friend or know
Speaker 1: someone that knows someone that's been impacted by an addiction
Speaker 1: problem and as either passed away or really struggled with that.
Speaker 1: And it just stories families. Okay, So it destroys these
Speaker 1: people's lives, and it destroys American people's lives as well,
Speaker 1: because it's literally breaking our families apart. And that's something
Speaker 1: that I told you guys a little bit. Obviously, My
Speaker 1: family's really struggled with obviously drugs to the point of
Speaker 1: I had multiple family members passed away from it, and
Speaker 1: then also to my own father really struggled without and
Speaker 1: that's something I highlighted in the first episode. But when
Speaker 1: you realize the amount that's coming in, that's I think
Speaker 1: what's alarming. So in March alone, this year because of
Speaker 1: the amount of I think media that was shed in
Speaker 1: the run up to and then after the fact when
Speaker 1: they were talking about and when I say that, I
Speaker 1: mean the d n C and the Biden Harris administration
Speaker 1: was talking about giving mass amnesty. You saw this massive
Speaker 1: surge at the border, Like I'm talking not just with
Speaker 1: the illegals, but then also to on drugs, on heroin
Speaker 1: alone and meth emphetamine, meth one up. Heroin went up,
Speaker 1: but poundage seased in alone. This is what's alarming. Three
Speaker 1: hundred and forty seven thousand, seven hundred and fifty five
Speaker 1: pounds in total. And if you realize how much fetanel,
Speaker 1: which only a tiny bit can kill you, how much
Speaker 1: came in it was upwards of five thousand six So
Speaker 1: clearly the U s has an issue with conception of
Speaker 1: illegal narcotics. But when you basically put out a sign
Speaker 1: in front of the United States saying, hey, we're open
Speaker 1: for business, come on over, that creates a problem. And
Speaker 1: that's where the media plays into all of this. Drugs
Speaker 1: are going directly into the inner cities. They feel gang culture,
Speaker 1: and they feel the black market, They feel the exact
Speaker 1: environment that these illegals are hiding in and because they
Speaker 1: don't come here the correct way, the fact is that
Speaker 1: they will never have access to American dream. And I
Speaker 1: do believe that the elected officials that promote this, the
Speaker 1: elected officials that are knowingly sitting on this information because
Speaker 1: they simply want power, talk about a sociopath, talk about
Speaker 1: bad people. They are complicit in all of this. And
Speaker 1: you see the media talk about on a regular basis
Speaker 1: about this viewpoint of the left and progressives, about this
Speaker 1: suppression of minorities. But yet they don't talk about this, which,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, feels these cycles of poverty that these
Speaker 1: people make it very hard for them to break free from.
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to talk about hypocrisy and all
Speaker 1: of it. But then there's this national security aspect, right like,
Speaker 1: where did the war on terror? Did you just go away?
Speaker 1: Because I'm under the understanding that recently you had people
Speaker 1: from Yemen to individuals that were on our terrorist watch
Speaker 1: list that were caught trying to enter the United States
Speaker 1: from the southern border. What about COVID. We literally just
Speaker 1: locked down the economy for one year because of COVID.
Speaker 1: You have half of the states that are still locked
Speaker 1: down with these crazy mandates. We know that COVID has
Speaker 1: a nine nine percent survival rate, and yet people are
Speaker 1: coming into this country. They're not being tested, they're being
Speaker 1: released into states like Texas and Arizona and California and
Speaker 1: all these border states, and yet Dr Fauch and the
Speaker 1: d n C is quiet on it. But yet the
Speaker 1: American people are what's supposed to remain lockdown. I mean,
Speaker 1: is that not infuriating to you? Guys? The hypocrisy is
Speaker 1: so blatant, and it's based on identity politics. They genuinely
Speaker 1: want the American people to believe that if you want
Speaker 1: border security, that you are racist. They don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about the facts. They want every Hispanic American to
Speaker 1: think that the GOP that Republican voters, that anyone who
Speaker 1: supported Trump was anti Hispanic, and that is the farthest
Speaker 1: thing from the truth. To date, the previous administration had
Speaker 1: the highest amount of focus on human trafficking than any
Speaker 1: other administration. And if you're still not supporting him for
Speaker 1: that reason, I don't know what could convince you otherwise,
Speaker 1: because guys, at is modern day slavery. But I mean,
Speaker 1: really look at it. What change? Why did the d
Speaker 1: n C prior to sen Why was the media prior
Speaker 1: to focusing on all of this? Why were they now
Speaker 1: quiet on this? I mean, was it because is of
Speaker 1: the voting demographic? Was it because of who came into office?
Speaker 1: So what changed? If you go out to hayting Tie,
Speaker 1: I'll be back after the break and we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that then. So prior to we know, establishment democrats had
Speaker 1: the same views as GPS and conservatives. You can see
Speaker 1: this video actually of Obama that I ended up posting
Speaker 1: on my social media and he goes, he's sitting down
Speaker 1: an arm turn. He goes, look, do not come here.
Speaker 1: It's dangerous. Do not come here legally. In fact, Obama
Speaker 1: was actually, ironically enough, known as the deporter and chief.
Speaker 1: And at the time you can't say that Biden doesn't
Speaker 1: know about the immigration problem because at the time he
Speaker 1: was the vice president. But what changed, guys, and this
Speaker 1: is what I discovered, is that the person that came
Speaker 1: into office, Trump was an uncontrolled politician who took the
Speaker 1: White House. Okay, we know that Trump was a threat.
Speaker 1: He was not controlled and paid for by the establishment
Speaker 1: corporation that's currently trying to run this country. And you
Speaker 1: now have blatantly obvious hypocrisy with the Biden administration not
Speaker 1: just trying to remain quiet on this after they really
Speaker 1: did pour gasoline on fire, but Biden is now actively
Speaker 1: building sections of the southern border a k a oh
Speaker 1: wall because he knew Trump was right. Most Democrats knew
Speaker 1: Trump was right that we needed a physical barrier in
Speaker 1: order to stop some of the things that are happening,
Speaker 1: and that taking a zero tolerance stance on a legal
Speaker 1: immigration is the only way to stop some of these
Speaker 1: atroth cities that are happening. And ironically enough, Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: of all people who has knownly walked out of different
Speaker 1: briefings that are rescue did for Senate on human trafficking.
Speaker 1: I kid you not, guys. Tim Bowlard talked him about it.
Speaker 1: He said he wanted to give the briefing. She got
Speaker 1: up and she left. She's the vice president and she's
Speaker 1: been assigned to handle the border crisis, and yet she
Speaker 1: has yet to be down there. This is the one
Speaker 1: person in the country that was a woman of color,
Speaker 1: was supposed to be representing minority women and the fight
Speaker 1: that all minority women have, and yet she's yet to
Speaker 1: say one thing about it. She's yet to go down
Speaker 1: to the border to cover it. She's completely quiet in
Speaker 1: the media, and she's busy taking photo ops going to
Speaker 1: bakeries in Chicago instead of dealing with the one thing
Speaker 1: that she should be talking about, which is slavery in
Speaker 1: this country. Shaan King, who is a very very liberal
Speaker 1: progressive posted recently of which I posted to my I
Speaker 1: G because I wanted people to realize that it's so
Speaker 1: bad the hypocrisy is being noticed on all sides, so
Speaker 1: bad that Sean King actually posted calling out the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: and yet people are still not talking about I mean,
Speaker 1: where's Vice Magazine talking about this? Where's now this? Where's
Speaker 1: vanity fair? Shaun King? Because Shaun King was one of
Speaker 1: those people that genuinely believed that if you separate someone
Speaker 1: from their family member, that you're the boogeyman not knowing.
Speaker 1: And I do believe it's because Shaun King isn't necessarily
Speaker 1: educated on the topic, but that he was one of
Speaker 1: those people that I would considered quote unquote a true believer,
Speaker 1: and that he believes that we really should have open borders. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's obviously wrong, but he knows that the Biden administration
Speaker 1: ran on that, and now they're pivoting going back to
Speaker 1: the ideology that works, which is basically what conservatives have
Speaker 1: been saying, is that walls work. Aoc this woman made
Speaker 1: her living and she is now a multimillion dollar socialist,
Speaker 1: which is a hypocrisy in itself. But she is completely silent. Okay,
Speaker 1: we know she went down to the border in her
Speaker 1: little white outfit and she's bent over crying for that
Speaker 1: photo opportunity in an empty parking lot. She's saying on
Speaker 1: our Instagram that surge, the term surge is referring to
Speaker 1: insurgents instead of an actual surge of people, which means
Speaker 1: would mean an influx at the border. She's completely silent
Speaker 1: on the amount of migrant children that are coming here.
Speaker 1: She's silent on the human trafficking. In fact, I don't
Speaker 1: even know if she realizes that that's an issue, because
Speaker 1: she's constantly advocating for us to defund ICE. Yet part
Speaker 1: of what ICE does is they actually go out and
Speaker 1: arrest human traffickers. Five of the top ten most wanted
Speaker 1: for human trafficking of ICE is from Tennant Single Mexico,
Speaker 1: and you can see that on their website. They run
Speaker 1: trafficking routes right into the United States, and there was
Speaker 1: actually a docuseriies online that you can see that ran
Speaker 1: a trafficking ring right in from Mexico into Brooklyn, New York.
Speaker 1: But do you see how the d n C shifted
Speaker 1: their stance. I mean, we know that all of these
Speaker 1: elected officials prior to and you had Obama talking about
Speaker 1: you had the entire bomba administration that knew was an issue.
Speaker 1: There's recorded footage of multiple members of Congress talking about it,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it just goes away
Speaker 1: and changes. I mean, do they really think that we're
Speaker 1: that stupid that Hispanic Americans can't use cell phones? I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe you heard I think Biden said that the reason
Speaker 1: why Hispanic Americans don't want vaccines is because we don't
Speaker 1: know how to use the internet. So maybe they think
Speaker 1: we're that stupid, But I don't. I think that we're
Speaker 1: quite educated, which is why I have this podcast and
Speaker 1: why I'm filling you guys in on this information. But
Speaker 1: you have to fix it. We can't just let this
Speaker 1: continue happening because you see in everything that I just
Speaker 1: laid out, there's so many aspects of this that are
Speaker 1: impacting our society that are impacting people on both sides
Speaker 1: of the border. And the fact is that massive legal
Speaker 1: immigration bogged down our current immigration courts, So you can't
Speaker 1: have as many legal people here because the process to
Speaker 1: even come here is years and in thousands upon thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars, So it's gonna bog that down altogether. But
Speaker 1: it creates also to this depression and wages and takes
Speaker 1: advantage of people that are trying to come here to work.
Speaker 1: We know that if people are operating under the table,
Speaker 1: and you have labor trafficking, which is happening, especially in
Speaker 1: the hotel industry, the farmer industry, and restaurants, all of that,
Speaker 1: that these people are going to be paid cash, if
Speaker 1: at all. Sometimes these people are snubbed, and that's actually
Speaker 1: stories that I've heard from my own father of people
Speaker 1: showing up to work at like home depot. Contractors will
Speaker 1: pick them up, they work, they don't pay them because
Speaker 1: they know that they're legal, and then they drop them off,
Speaker 1: which is basically slavery. But in order to stream on
Speaker 1: the process of actually getting people to come here legally,
Speaker 1: to actually educate them and have them attained American citizenship,
Speaker 1: you have to start by stopping the bleed, and that's
Speaker 1: not going to happen if you have elected officials coming here,
Speaker 1: are going on to national platforms and national media outlets saying, hey,
Speaker 1: come on over, we want mass amnesty. I mean, all
Speaker 1: of that is going to completely just one a d
Speaker 1: out make the matters worse, and it's going to encourage
Speaker 1: this mass illegal immigration. So you have to take a
Speaker 1: zero tolerant stance on this. This is one of those
Speaker 1: things that I tell people all the time. You really
Speaker 1: truly have to realize that this is a tough love
Speaker 1: argument that politicians, with their empty promises that created this
Speaker 1: crisis in the first place, they're willing to stay silent
Speaker 1: on it. But the people that are getting hurt are
Speaker 1: the innocent people. It's the people like you and me.
Speaker 1: It's the people that are being why to telling that
Speaker 1: they're going to come here and have access to this
Speaker 1: American dream, when in actuality, they're never going to have that.
Speaker 1: Their kids are probably gonna end up in gangs and
Speaker 1: on drugs and if not killed, And it's not the
Speaker 1: right thing to do. It's not a woke ideology. That's
Speaker 1: the truth. And sometimes the truth hurts, and I'm not
Speaker 1: here to make people feel better about illegal immigration. I'm
Speaker 1: here to tell you the fact that that you're hurting people.
Speaker 1: This is irresponsible, and that if you are having a
Speaker 1: platform and that you're encouraging it, you're part of the problem.
Speaker 1: So you have Hispanic Americans now as the largest voting
Speaker 1: minority in this country, and if you truly want to
Speaker 1: help this community, it's going to start by informing and
Speaker 1: waking up your neighbor by waking up your family members,
Speaker 1: to let them know that their voice matters, that their
Speaker 1: vote counts, and that in the scheme of national politics,
Speaker 1: when you have a large voting minority that has been
Speaker 1: lied to and realizes that which I think is happening.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look on social media and I don't.
Speaker 1: I try not to stand the echo chambers of guys. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm branching out outside of that. But you have multiple
Speaker 1: very progressive organizations that have now called out the hypocrisy
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration, which I'm glad for. I still
Speaker 1: hold true to my tenants and my beliefs that I
Speaker 1: think we need strong border security as your tolerance stance
Speaker 1: on on illegal immigration, and that we need a wall.
Speaker 1: But the fact is is that people are waking up,
Speaker 1: and that's because we are willing to share that information.
Speaker 1: So again, I'm gonna just plug this. If you guys
Speaker 1: want to get more involved and actually help fight what's
Speaker 1: happening at the border, volunteer with organizations like our Rescue,
Speaker 1: share information right the State Department in order that human
Speaker 1: trafficking report that they put out every single year, use
Speaker 1: your social media, organize events because this is the one
Speaker 1: thing that we can all do that I believe that
Speaker 1: is a truly unifying, nonpartisan issue. And if you want
Speaker 1: to reconnect with your family especially talk about these issues,
Speaker 1: please because at the end of the day, I do
Speaker 1: believe that everyone's put on this earth for a reason
Speaker 1: and that it's our obligation, our moral obligation, to leave
Speaker 1: the earth and our family in our nation in a
Speaker 1: better condition than we initially found it in. And that's
Speaker 1: something that we can all do that I think would
Speaker 1: better the world. So thank you so much for tuning
