We're going to play a interview 22 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,400 that I did a couple days ago. Sometimes we can't line 23 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,720 schedules up to do them live, so I wanted to bring it to you 24 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,800 before it's not relevant. And while it is still something 25 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,560 we are thinking about, we've talked a little bit about 26 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,160 abortion. We've talked about the white 27 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,240 supremacy BS. What I wanted to dig into is 28 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,720 more of the open border failure that is existing in the United 29 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,920 States. That open border failure is 30 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,640 something the Biden administration seems very 31 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,360 committed to. And one of the major things that 32 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,000 it does is it kills off Americans. 33 00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,160 We're going to get into that long form. 34 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,080 Before we do that, I want to say thanks to the sponsors that keep 35 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800 the show rolling.

There with the Betsy Ross S 52 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,400 That's all the stars around the S and the the rifle around that 53 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,200 one.

I just did my order and I bought 64 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,080 not just the snapshot, like what they call spill proof lid, but I 65 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,360 got the spill resistant lid which you can pop off and you 66 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,160 can throw like a big straw in, which which works if you're a 67 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,080 smoothie guy, if you're if you're used to doing shakes in 68 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,760 the morning. In any case, folks, I also want 69 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,560 to say thanks to my buddies over at the Catholic vote. 70 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,080 You guys know how to go there and get the loop. 71 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,360 It's catholicvote.org, the website againcatholicvote.org. 72 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,120 And make sure you're following them not just on social media 73 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,200 like a Twitter or whatever.

It's a long form commentary. 81 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,600 You'll get that. Plus a couple of others like 82 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Edify, which is a lot more like a Prager. 83 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,480 You they do some some really good, well produced content 84 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,000 that's short and you can grab and and hand it off to people 85 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,440 about values and Christianity in this country and maybe why maybe 86 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,040 why the godless pagans, as my buddy George Hill talks about, 87 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,680 are really the problem. They're breaking the first 88 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,720 commandment, right? They made themselves God, that's 89 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,880 a no go in this world.

So we are going to do that and I 95 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,280 think you guys will have fun with this one. 96 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,960 We will.

I mean, thank you for what 113 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,200 you've done in the Air Force and FBI, and I know the sort of my 114 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,240 brother's put chills in my body. So thank you. 115 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,160 So what we just talked about before we started rolling here 116 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,520 is that your brother was a hero. In my previous career field that 117 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,880 I served in the Air Force I went to go be a pair rescue man and 118 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,200 that's an incredibly difficult path. 119 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,760 And the men that have died in that career field that in the 120 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,080 line of duty or in that that duty operational sort of space, 121 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,680 they're all known they're they all have plaques on the wall and 122 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,840 I have polisher brothers plaque which is a wild thing you want 123 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,000 to tell a little bit about your brother and then who he was and. 124 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,000 Yeah, so Mike was in the Air Force for, you know, over 20 125 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,160 years. He was actually in Afghanistan, 126 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,080 Operation Enduring Freedom. Unfortunately, the helicopter 127 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,720 went down and he and and five buddies on the on the helicopter 128 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,520 died in a fiery crash in the mountain in Afghanistan. 129 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:26,920 And ever since that day, my life is kind of changed because it's 130 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,200 everything about the country and trying to break down walls 131 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,560 between the different agencies and do what's right for the 132 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,200 American taxpayer to keep America safe. 133 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,640 So yeah, Mike's been an inspiration in every month of 134 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,640 March, every year they have the most challenge. 135 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,240 So we're coming up on the most challenge. 136 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,160 I'll be going to the Under Armour Baltimore Ravens facility 137 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,960 to honor Mike and all these DoD warriors that have died in the 138 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,880 line of duty. We do a CrossFit challenge and 139 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,920 just a day to honor these brave Americans that gave up their 140 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,520 lives. Yeah, truly a hero. 141 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,680 It's a heroic field. It's a heroic job to do pair 142 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,320 rescue and when when you're going through that training and 143 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,760 you may know this already, but all the other trainees that are 144 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,880 going through, one of the things we do is we do a certain amount 145 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,800 of push ups on the way in and out of every building. 146 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,320 We pay homage to those who have come, come before us and those 147 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,240 who have fallen. And so you always do one 148 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,880 additional push up on top of the 50 for teamwork, which is the 149 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,280 name of the game when you're trying to do that job. 150 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,200 And the last one is for a fallen comrade. 151 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,080 And there's always a name. And if we don't know the names 152 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,480 and the stories of them when quizzed, then there's more push 153 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,960 ups to follow. And I've done push ups for your 154 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,280 brother. And anyway, just an honor. 155 00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:31,560 I didn't know that before we started talking. 156 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,520 So I'm excited about that. Let's talk about you growing up. 157 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,840 I can hear from the accent. You've got that sort of strong 158 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:37,880 island sound. You want to talk about who you 159 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,000 are, where you grow up and then give people a lens before we get 160 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,080 into The Dirty business here. I normally say I was born in 161 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,040 Mississippi, but nobody believes me, right? 162 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,560 So I was born in New York. My father was 30 years in the 163 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,200 DEA, very dedicated legendary guy. 164 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,600 As a matter of fact they just named the DEA Jim the John Waltz 165 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,680 Fitness Center. They have a Leadership Award in 166 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,120 the Federal Law enforcement Foundation in New York after 167 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,720 him. But anyway, so I was a kid 168 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,920 growing up with a father that was never home. 169 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,520 And and when I was 22 years old at at the graduating college, my 170 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,840 father actually pushed me into the DEA field. 171 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,800 I'm very thankful that he did because I had no idea like most 172 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,240 kids what I wanted to do. And I had 20 years of fun. 173 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,920 But my father retired as the head of the New York Drug 174 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,800 Enforcement Task Force in Manhattan, the oldest and 175 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,280 largest task force in America, Drug Task Force. 176 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,640 And I ultimately rose through the ranks and took his job in 177 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,240 New York City, which was really cool. 178 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,800 But then in 2005, I got promoted to be the head of the DEA 179 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,480 Special Operations Division in Washington area. 180 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,840 And at the time, there were nine agencies. 181 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,560 But when I retired 10 years later, there were 30 agencies, 182 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,000 three countries and the NYPD. And by the way, we also had FBI 183 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,880 counterterrorism representatives there as well, because over the 184 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,880 years, we now all know that the terrorists tap into criminal 185 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,440 proceeds for funding at times and we need to work seamlessly 186 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,800 across these different agencies. So I had very good relationships 187 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,600 with FBI and these other agencies, built up a 188 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,400 synchronization center. As a matter of fact, one of the 189 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,960 things I always talk about, because I think it's kind of 190 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,840 cool, I'll take the plaque off the wall so that when the White 191 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,080 House called my operation, we went and took down Victor Bow, 192 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080 right. He was the international arms 193 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,600 smuggler that the current administration just sent back in 194 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,760 a prisoner swap swap to Russia for Britney Griner. 195 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,120 So we did some really interesting stuff. 196 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,480 I had a good time and now I kind of bought my passion. 197 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,320 I work for software company that sells, you know, data, analytic 198 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,320 and wiretap software to the government agencies around the 199 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,960 world. But I also actually now have a 200 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,720 passion to support all these families. 201 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,200 As you can see behind me, everyday I wake up and I do 202 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,240 whatever I can to spread awareness and save lives. 203 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,040 Because the families, you know, they had no voice. 204 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,120 They're starting to get a voice. And you know, we try to get them 205 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240 on TV, we try to get them in front of Congress, we bring them 206 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,080 to events. And now I'm also part of Border 207 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,880 911, which is a nonprofit that was set up by the former ICE 208 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,440 director Tom Holman. And on that team is myself, Tom 209 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,000 Holman, Mark Morgan, former CVP Commissioner, Border Patrol 210 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,400 Chief, FBI executive and also Rodney Scott, Border Patrol 211 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,600 Chief, Sarah Carter from Fox News, and Jason Jones. 212 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,320 So I have an event in Mar a Lago on April 4th to try to raise 213 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,120 awareness and actually spread this information of facts around 214 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,360 the country. One thing I want to make really 215 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,520 clear, my day-to-day operation has nothing to do with politics. 216 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,920 It's like I've said now the issues we're talking about are 217 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,000 not red and blue, they're red, white and blue. 218 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,200 Every American is being impacted from the craziness that we're 219 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,280 facing now in America and there's a lot of people to 220 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,400 blame. But I'm not in the blame game. 221 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,400 I'm I'm into like solutions and trying to figure out what to do 222 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,440 to move forward. We want to go back in time a 223 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,760 little bit. We're going to work our way up 224 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,280 to that. Obviously that is a crisis that 225 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,920 people are are are starting to understand the border the the 226 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,840 fentanyl sort of impact on all the families and that that the 227 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,040 collage in your wall is impactful. 228 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,760 So anybody who's listening to our audio show, what you're 229 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,400 missing out on is hundreds. It looks like a faces of 230 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,400 families that have been affected by the poisoning and I think 231 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,960 you're one of the the great voices that's accurately calling 232 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,600 it out like that. I think it takes that knowledge 233 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,080 and background to talk about it. But let me let me step back to 234 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,680 the Academy days before you did. The 28 years you're at the 235 00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,800 Academy, The DEA Academy is at Quantico. 236 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,240 Was it at Quantico at the time? Yes, it was at. 237 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,440 We used a lot of the FBI facilities at the time. 238 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,720 Now they have their own Academy, but yeah, we stayed at the FBI 239 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,960 Academy. Now, what was the rivalry 240 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,760 looking like between FBI and DEA at the time that you were there, 241 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,120 or if there was one? Well, you know, back in those 242 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,600 days, there really wasn't tremendous rivalry. 243 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,480 I remember, you know, when I first came on, they had to, you 244 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,960 know, the the very devastating Miami shooting at FBI, Miami 245 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,760 agents that were killed. I can't remember how many at the 246 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,080 time, but it was devastating as a new agent. 247 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,200 So we kind of were very aligned with FBI at the time. 248 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,880 There was no kind of fighting, really, you know, 'cause it was 249 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,240 like, we're in this together, right? 250 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,680 We're all trying to save lives and stuff like that. 251 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,680 But I remember that vividly, 'cause I was at the Academy when 252 00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,880 it happened. When I was there, which was 253 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,280 obviously many years later, one of the things that kind of 254 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,240 struck out to me stuck out to me is that I I remember seeing FBI 255 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,880 trainees that were kind of, you know, looking down their nose at 256 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,760 guys at the DEA like it wasn't something else. 257 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,080 And I remember looking over the DEA guys and they looked bigger, 258 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,520 fitter, more militaristic. They look like they were in 259 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,320 formation. They knew how to like form up 260 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,000 and move things. There was a guide on they were, 261 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,320 you know, jogging, There was fitness. 262 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,640 That was part of their, their routine. 263 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,120 And I thought maybe I joined the wrong group here because the 264 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,480 people I'm with look like a bunch of nerds and those guys 265 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,040 look like a bunch of fighters. It's it's always funny. 266 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,080 Those reputations come and go. They always change. 267 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,600 And it's interesting that you guys were aligned, that 1986 268 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600 shooting happened in Miami. And I think that that's that's 269 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,080 fun how that that environment has changed. 270 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,680 It's sad to see it now. All right. 271 00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,560 So you've had tons of experience across all these different 272 00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,200 boundaries. What was the most like? 273 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,080 What was the most rewarding part, 'cause I think people get 274 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,320 a lot of they get frustrated with the concept of the war on 275 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,720 drugs. But maybe we can kind of, maybe 276 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,200 we can humanize with that. It's not about drugs per SE, 277 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,560 because those people wouldn't otherwise be great human beings 278 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,160 if they're trafficking drugs. Is that accurate? 279 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Right. First of all, there's never been 280 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,800 a war on drugs except for a limited time in Colombia when we 281 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,880 use military assets to go after, you know, Pablo Escobar and kill 282 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,040 them, right. So if we had a war on drugs, 283 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,840 we'd have drones up in the sky and we'd be annihilating the 284 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,600 Mexican cartels, super labs and their clandestine operations and 285 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,920 their command and control, because the Mexican cartels have 286 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,280 killed more Americans than any terrorist organization in the 287 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,200 history of this country that I'm aware of. 288 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,520 But so we're not at war with the drug traffickers. 289 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,640 As a matter of fact, they're not even drug traffickers anymore. 290 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,760 They've evolved to narco terrorists. 291 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,880 That's what they are. And they're our enemy. 292 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,320 They're our greatest enemy to our children right now because 293 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,840 they're killing at historic levels. 294 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,920 So I'm not a big fan of those words about war on drugs. 295 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,400 What we try to do every day is when we used to seize these 296 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,240 little glassine bags that had 90% pure heroin, we knew that we 297 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,040 saved a lot. All right, so the DEA agents 298 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,120 understood that every day you're out on the streets, you're 299 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,280 seizing drugs. You're taking away weapons. 300 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,840 You're taking down leaders of these different groups locally 301 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,000 and regionally, internationally, and you just got to keep 302 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,480 fighting, right? So in that sense, it was a war. 303 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,960 Yeah, we were fighting everyday trying to save lives. 304 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,680 But we always tried to rationalize that, you know, that 305 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,200 particular bag of heroin now is fentanyl, and it only takes 2 306 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,400 milligrams to kill. Like, like, Kyle. 307 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,200 Like, people don't realize, like, right here is 30 grams of 308 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,120 salt. If this is 30 grams of fentanyl, 309 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,320 right? This could kill 15,000 people. 310 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,840 OK. It only takes milligrams, like 2 311 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,400 milligrams. So the world is changing 312 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,440 quickly. But in the world of the DEA 313 00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:02,520 agent, it was very rewarding to know when you actually seize the 314 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,600 kilogram of heroin, that's 20,000 in these little bags, OK? 315 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,000 That's a lot of lives you potentially save. 316 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,440 So there's a different way to look at it. 317 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,520 But you know, when I look back at what's really disturbing to 318 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,960 me is how much out of control this is because synthetic drugs 319 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,360 have been a game changer and we'll get to that. 320 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,400 But China and the Communist Party of China's role now in the 321 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,360 global drug trafficking issues, that's what's concerning to me, 322 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:35,120 because it's way beyond the opioid crisis or any drug crisis 323 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,680 we've ever faced. Right now we have mass poisoning 324 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,840 in our country, and our government and our people are 325 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,400 not connecting the dots. And that's what I've been trying 326 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,960 to do as well, to connect the dots, to show people with facts 327 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,640 what's happening. It seems to me that a lot of 328 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,120 folks have biases and maybe they're libertarian. 329 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,920 I think a lot of people on the conservative side kind of lean 330 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,360 towards that libertarian thing. It's like who cares if somebody 331 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,000 wants to do cocaine? Who cares if somebody wants to 332 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,600 do heroin? That's, you know, that's not 333 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,200 really the moral threat as maybe a moral or as a religious 334 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,480 person, you may have some issues with it. 335 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,000 But on the legal side, a lot of people don't understand that 336 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,440 it's not about the drug and the action, it's the fact that this 337 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,880 is funding a bigger apparatus. These are massive multi billion 338 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,880 dollar multinational businesses that basically have said there's 339 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,120 a good way to do business. We're not interested in that. 340 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,880 There's a ton more money in doing otherwise and so smuggling 341 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,120 drugs, smuggling weapons, smuggling people, the real 342 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,400 threat is far bigger than some guy wants to get high in his his 343 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,000 apartment. That's not the thing that I 344 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,960 think that that that the DEA handles. 345 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,080 Maybe we can kind of talk about the apparatus, like what that 346 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,720 threat really is, so that when we hear things like people 347 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,040 mischaracterizing the issue, it's not about some guy who just 348 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,720 wants to do something, listen to records in his basement, and and 349 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,840 wants to sniff a line of cocaine. 350 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,160 Whether that's good or bad morally is another animal. 351 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,440 That's not what the DEA is about. 352 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,280 Would that be fair to say? Absolutely. 353 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,120 DEA has always been about, in my experience is going after the 354 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,040 entire network from top to bottom. 355 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,000 Obviously it's very challenging. It's very complex. 356 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,920 And right now the DEA and other law enforcement agencies are 357 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,680 more and more in the dark now than ever because all the 358 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,320 technology that's been deployed to the bad guys, they have such 359 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,040 a significant advantage because they don't have a budget, you 360 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,760 know, restriction or constraints. 361 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,760 They don't have all this bureaucracy and these legal 362 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,880 obstacles that get in the way. They have a objective to 363 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,920 maximize profits and they're absolutely able to do it because 364 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,240 they're taking advantage of US vulnerabilities and weaknesses. 365 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,160 And now with the wide open border, it's made things worse. 366 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,720 But in regards to your earlier point, right now what everybody 367 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,200 should be concerned about is the Communist Party of China's 368 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,280 influence on the death and destruction in America right now 369 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,400 with these poisonous substances. That's the real issue. 370 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,200 Let's, let's do, let's do pipeline if we can. 371 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,680 Let's start from the logistical end, let's start it over in 372 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,720 China, if you would kind of layout what the precursors look 373 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,080 like, where they go, who they're sent to. 374 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,440 You mentioned super labs as well and I want to kind of hear that 375 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,280 too. If you could kind of talk maybe 376 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,760 from China into household in America, what does that pipeline 377 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,359 look like and how is it, how who are the people involved in it 378 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:13,720 too? OK. 379 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,240 So I think it would be more productive if I gave you look 380 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,319 like little chronology so people would understand how it's 381 00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:21,480 evolved and the roles have changed. 382 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,680 So let's first of all remember that the Chinese criminal 383 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,200 networks, the chemical brokers have had relationships for 384 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,800 probably 30-40 years with the Mexican cartels because they 385 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,400 were the big supplies of the precursor chemicals to make 386 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,040 methamphetamine for a long time. OK. 387 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,600 So that's number one and we're changed in my world is when I 388 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,840 was the head of the SOD operation in Washington, there 389 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:52,720 was a $207 million cash seizure made in Mexico City and it was 390 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,920 the largest seizure that I know of anywhere in the world in a 391 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,920 drug case. I have never heard of anything 392 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,040 bigger. And most of the money seized was 393 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,560 his $100 denominations, which was very unique, very odd. 394 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,600 And it came from a Chinese chemical broker. 395 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,720 So that was kind of an eye opener for me as the head of the 396 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,840 Special Operations division, 'cause it was such an alarming 397 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,680 amount of money. Like, why would a Chinese guy be 398 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,880 involved with a $207 million? And what's scary is if they 399 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,800 declared 207 million in Mexico, Can you imagine how much was 400 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,720 actually there? Oh my God, 'cause you know how 401 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,560 that goes, right? So anyway, now that happens in 402 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,400 2007. Now going back to 2000, I I want 403 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,720 to just go back. I I forgot the important part. 404 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,560 2005, 2006 we had mass amounts of people dying in America from 405 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,960 fentanyl poisoning. It was mostly in the Midwest, so 406 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,600 DEA, Chicago, other agencies, Chicago, PD work with Mexico. 407 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,720 They went after a lab in Toluca, Mexico, 2005 time frame, and 408 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,320 they wiped out the lab and that was kind of our first indicator 409 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,680 of the cartels getting involved with fentanyl. 410 00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:02,920 But again, it went away for years. 411 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:09,640 So now what happens next, 2008, 2009, we had a, what I say is 412 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:15,080 the start of this very, very complex chemical synthetic drug 413 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,360 bombing campaign coming out of China. 414 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:21,240 We started getting hit hard with synthetic cannabinoids, 415 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,400 synthetic cathinones, which are better known as K2, spice and 416 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,200 bath salts in America. And no one really understood 417 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,760 what was going on with that stuff. 418 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,880 So we had to set up two very, very large scale operations in 419 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,320 my old entity and we had all the agencies participating, you 420 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,120 know, trying to get a good picture on these chemicals 421 00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:45,080 coming out of the Chinese labs. And it was basically an 422 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:48,480 operation called Logjam and Project Synergy all over the 423 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,320 Internet, 'cause we crushed these organizations and we 424 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,680 exposed the Chinese lab operators, we we would send like 425 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,320 undercover operatives into China with the iPhones, taking video 426 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,800 and pictures inside these labs, producing all this, this 427 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,360 dangerous chemical. Now if you go and look on 428 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:09,400 YouTube and you find what synthetic cannabinoids and 429 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:14,200 cathinons do to a person, you'll be amazed on the psychosis, the 430 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,760 schizophrenia actions, the mental illnesses that that it 431 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,240 was causing. Again, we didn't really know 432 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,640 much about it. And then 2012? 433 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,320 We started seeing pure fentanyl analogues coming out of these 434 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,920 labs through website sales directly to America. 435 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,480 And we started seeing reports in America of what was reported 436 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,240 initially as heroin overdoses. When the autopsies came back, it 437 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,880 was actually heroin mixed with fentanyl, illicit fentanyl. 438 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,240 So for me, as the head of this operation, I never realized the 439 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,800 magnitude of fentanyl on the streets of America. 440 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,520 This was all new to me, so we had a lot of learning to do. 441 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,520 But what was really sad, Kyle, is we had a full scale 442 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,840 initiative. We called it Operation Deadly 443 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,240 Merchant. We went to Attorney General 444 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,480 Holder in 2014 with an emergency briefing on an emerging trend 445 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,280 coming out of China. When the first time we've ever 446 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,760 seen China, the Mexican cartels and Dominican distributors 447 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,000 pushing this poisonous substance and seeing massive deaths, well, 448 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,000 again, to be fair, this was new to everyone. 449 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,200 We didn't realize the magnitude at the time and so we watched 450 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,160 this thing grow. Now what happened was around 451 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,720 2015, 2016, a lot of things changed. 452 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:37,360 The cartels in Mexico started wanting to produce this 453 00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,600 fentanyl. So they would send at a China, 454 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,520 some of these Chinese national chemists and other people into 455 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,480 Mexico to try to help them make these fentanyl substances OK And 456 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,520 then they started changing. Instead of sending a lot of 457 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,000 fentanyl directly to America, they would start sending the 458 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,040 pure fentanyl and the analogues over to Mexico so they can make 459 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,920 the pills, so they can make it. They were learning. 460 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,840 It was transitioning. So then they started with 461 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,960 President Trump, came on board, he put a lot of pressure on 462 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,160 China. And then we started seeing a 463 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,560 much, you know, much less pure fentanyl and analogues coming to 464 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,800 America. It started going directly to 465 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,440 Mexico. But here's the game changer that 466 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,920 people don't have any clue. The cartels started. 467 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,880 We're using the Chinese nationals as the money 468 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,760 laundering services people. And so the Chinese criminals 469 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,360 would come into America, stop picking up mass amounts of cash 470 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,720 from the drug traffickers and laundering the money back and 471 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,800 paying the cartel leadership in Mexico very quickly. 472 00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:46,360 So now they became the primary money laundering services for 473 00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:49,680 the cartels and obviously the primary chemical broker for the 474 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,280 cartels. So business started to increase. 475 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:59,000 Now just to give you an idea, in Phoenix, DEA alone in 2015 they 476 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,440 seized 0 fake Mexican Oxy pills. OK, last year they seized 477 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,600 45,000,000 just in DEA Phoenix alone. 478 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,920 Now why did that happen? Because the Sinaloa cartel 479 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,080 controls all the routes into Arizona and especially in the 480 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,120 Gallus. OK, if you go online and look at 481 00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:23,320 CB PS website, you can't believe the amount of fentanyl they're 482 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,880 seizing at the the Gallus port of entry alone. 483 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,800 So then it started really ramping up because the cartel 484 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,520 started getting more experience with not only making the fake 485 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,160 pills, of making the powder that they were blitzing into the 486 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,040 country, and now local distributors around America were 487 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,880 buying the powder, buying pill presses and making their own 488 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,240 pills all over America. So the madness continues. 489 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,640 But when we started seeing the Chinese involved with the money 490 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,320 laundering, it really created a whole new opportunity for the 491 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,120 cartels to make more money, reduce the risk of losing the 492 00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:04,200 bulk cash shipments. None of the cash, or I shouldn't 493 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,800 say none of it. The majority of the cash was not 494 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,720 going through the US banking system. 495 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,160 The Chinese businessmen were picking up the cash in America. 496 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,160 They were using the cash to buy farm land, to buy property, to 497 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,800 buy real estate, to invest in America. 498 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,040 And then they will move in the money on their personal phones 499 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,600 from their bank account in China to someone else's account in 500 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,920 China to order up consumer goods, to order up precursor 501 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,600 chemicals, to buy Bitcoin, and then that shit gets shipped to 502 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,720 Mexico. They sell all these goods and 503 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,720 then the cartels get paid instantly. 504 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,440 There's no risk, there's no vulnerability. 505 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,920 So they're brilliant. And they were charging 0% 506 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,920 Commission when they first started doing this. 507 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,880 So the cartels recognized it as a way not only to reduce risk 508 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,960 and losing money, but they weren't paying any, you know, 509 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,920 brokers fees. OK, so now that then that 510 00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,560 started. That madness started. 511 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,480 Now we started seeing deaths climb, rising, boom, boom, boom, 512 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,520 boom, boom. Now they're into the new phase 513 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,800 of chemical attack. Because right now what we're 514 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,840 seeing is, yeah, a lot less fentanyl is being exported out 515 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,120 of China into America. But now they're exporting 516 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,520 chemicals that are 20 times more powerful than fentanyl, like 517 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,520 nitazine, edonitazine, isonitazine, metonitazine, 518 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,440 protonitazine. It's a class of synthetic drugs 519 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,280 that we call new psychoactive substances. 520 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,120 And now America's faced with all these deaths from these new 521 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:39,880 substances and at the same time they're making the xylazine, 522 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,840 which is the trank which causes necrosis in a body, the rotten 523 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,040 of human tissue from inside out. And people are in the streets of 524 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,360 this country rotten on the streets. 525 00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:57,000 Just go look at, just go look at Philadelphia, Kensington, you 526 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,840 know, Pennsylvania. It's a war zone of all these 527 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,320 zombies. It's all Xylazine mixed with 528 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,800 fentanyl and other substances. So the Chinese have started a 529 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,600 full blown campaign to destroy and destabilize America using 530 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,640 these deadly substances. And Americans aren't putting the 531 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,720 pieces together. They're still thinking this is 532 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,800 grandpa's opioid crisis. OK, now one last phase of this 533 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,560 thing. Now because the board is wide 534 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,640 open, we're now seeing record levels of Chinese nationals 535 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,240 crossing into America. So as an example, in in 2021, 536 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,200 there was 342 apprehended illegally by the Border Patrol 537 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,960 in the southern border. Last year it was over 24,000. 538 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,400 Now this year alone, we have well way over 18,000 that were 539 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,600 apprehended. We have no idea how many are 540 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,280 coming through in the Gotaway numbers where the cartels are 541 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,520 getting paid more money to get them into the country. 542 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,680 But what are they doing? They're establishing marijuana 543 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,120 grow operations throughout America, sophisticated, complex 544 00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:07,480 marijuana grow operations with very high content THC. 545 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,440 OK. And they are like there was a 546 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,920 report leaked out of DHS where there were 270 in the state of 547 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,960 Maine alone. We, we estimate over 1000 that 548 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,960 are out there in America now. Now people want to know, well, 549 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,720 no big deal, they're growing marijuana. 550 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,000 It's OK go read CN NS health report yesterday. 551 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,640 How marijuana that's being sold today is causing increased heart 552 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,680 attacks, strokes mental illness. Is all this new you know studies 553 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,280 coming out and I talked to emergency room doctors. 554 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,960 So kids are coming into emergency rooms now with very, 555 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:48,680 very, you know, psychotic or schizophrenia, you know, mental 556 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,440 illness, depression, anxiety. Because what's happening, Kyle, 557 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,960 their smoking is pure THC marijuana their their highs are 558 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,200 going so high and then so low, their brain is whacking out. 559 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,920 It's a new form of and I'm not one of these. 560 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,920 Like believe me, I'm not guys, you know I. 561 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,000 Like that has a technical term, the technical term whacking, the 562 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,240 technical term whacking out. I really like that, like they're 563 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,280 getting whacked out. But there there's something 564 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,400 because so I I used to be a paramedic on the street. 565 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,520 I've seen this sort of thing with the synthetic cannabis type 566 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:23,840 products and what do you call them? 567 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,040 Cannabis. K2 Spice, yeah. 568 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,120 K2 Spice guys would come in. They would be catatonic, then 569 00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:33,160 they'd be euphoric and they would be like we were fighting 570 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,400 somebody that was on PCP. They would go back and forth. 571 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,600 They were so hard to handle. They would literally be. 572 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,760 There's a great example of this. This is one of the weirdest 573 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,920 stories I ever remember. I'll I'll never forget the guy 574 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,760 because he was a Mexican Mafia piece of garbage. 575 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,000 He was just, you know, basic scumbaggery on the street. 576 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,680 He was blacked out with his pants around his ankles, laying 577 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,920 in a puddle. So he was wet, which is always a 578 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,360 pain in the butt. They brought him in on the 579 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,600 ambulance. He came to you in the back of 580 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,960 the ambulance. He looks over, there's a female 581 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,080 paramedic there. He starts touching himself. 582 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,840 That's terrible. We don't like that either. 583 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,240 Comes into the ER, He's back to catatonic. 584 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,960 Then we go out there and we're going to get a urine sample 585 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,560 because we got to figure out what the hell is wrong with this 586 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:07,960 guy. And as we started to do it, he 587 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,920 fought us and it took eight guys to hold him down and put it 588 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,640 down. So these these symptoms are 589 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,960 really hard to deal with in a medical scenario because they're 590 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:15,640 synthetic. But I'm. 591 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,040 You're talking about now actual marijuana that is being grown 592 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,040 with such concentrations. It sounds like it's the same 593 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,800 thing that we are facing with the synthetics. 594 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,600 Is that right? Yeah, it's another thing. 595 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,440 In my opinion, it's another phase and it's the Chinese 596 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,720 strategic plan to take advantage of the weak laws in America and 597 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440 the anti and the legalization movement of marijuana. 598 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,440 They've recognized that is a good opportunity for them to 599 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,200 continue their unrestricted warfare, to destabilize America 600 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,840 under the disguise of drug addiction and drug usage. 601 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,400 So they're very smart, very calculated. 602 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,600 And so it's this ongoing attack and and you know, again, if you 603 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,280 listen to the FBI director, which you know obviously that's 604 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:02,000 a sore subject, but what is Chris Ray saying a lot now that 605 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,760 the Chinese are our number one threat and that you have an 606 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,560 extensive background. So you would be well more versed 607 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,360 than I am with Chinese, you know, counterintelligence 608 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,440 operations in the hacking operations, they're, you know, 609 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,200 stealing intellectual property identity, right. 610 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,480 We can go on all day about that. And I'm so I'm no expert on that 611 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,600 car, but it makes sense that this is another tool in that 612 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,240 toolbox to destabilize this country. 613 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,080 And like Mike McCaul said something in Congress one day, 614 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,080 the former Homeland Security Committee chairman, he said the 615 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:39,040 best strategic plan for China is to sell fentanyl to America. 616 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,280 Let's think about it. Yeah, right. 617 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,560 And now America's too. You know, I don't want to say 618 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,240 America's stupid, but our leadership is stupid. 619 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,440 By not connecting the dots and dealing with this appropriately, 620 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,360 'cause they're misleading the public. 621 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,760 They're not actually explaining to the public the massive 622 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,000 evolution of this problem and why this is important to 623 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,360 everyone. This is not just a, like I said, 624 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,880 a red or a blue problem. It's red, white and blue and 625 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,840 everyone's going to be impacted and it's happening quickly. 626 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,320 Let's talk about the the mechanics of that. 627 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,080 I I tend to agree with you. Well, first of all, I think 628 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,640 China's obviously the biggest threat and they come at us from 629 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,840 all different angles, whether it be attacking infrastructure or 630 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,160 cyber warfare. But they're also moving in and 631 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,280 stealing intellectual property and they're putting people 632 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,680 across the border. This fentanyl thing is unique. 633 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,480 They stand again financially it sounds like they're being able 634 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,520 to buy up the the question of like how are they buying up all 635 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,000 this farmland? It sounds like you just answered 636 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,440 that. Yeah, but. 637 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,360 But by the way, Kyle, I I asked you to go and look at this 638 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,760 story. The Washington Examiner like a 639 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,920 year and a half ago had a story where they determined that there 640 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:45,200 was $6.1 billion in real estate transactions by Chinese 641 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,680 nationals in America. Now what's really alarming, and 642 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,240 it was only like a year period. I forgot the period. 643 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,680 But what was alarming to me is 59% of those transactions were 644 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,400 cash transactions. Now when you look at the 645 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,600 Chinese, what do they call it, the flight laws? 646 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,240 I forgot what they call it. They are limited to a $50,000 a 647 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,120 year export of cash. So these Chinese businessmen, in 648 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,440 my opinion, are using predominantly the drug 649 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,040 traffickers cash to make all these purchases to establish 650 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,120 their operations here in America. 651 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,120 Hey, what would happen if I went to China tomorrow and I wanted 652 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,800 to buy property in China? Are you kidding me? 653 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,640 We're letting these Chinese nationals buy all this property 654 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,680 in strategic locations next to our military bases and next to 655 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,320 our, you know, you know, secret installations out there. 656 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,200 So it's really alarming and like I said, no one's really talking 657 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:41,640 about that in its totality. I That's the thing, the totality 658 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,240 piece of it. That's where it sits for me. 659 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,200 It's everyone looks at the simple I mean we're so busy 660 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,080 trying to do the whack A mole for you know there's there's 661 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,680 fentanyl death. There may be synthetic drugs 662 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,240 coming in. There's cartel people. 663 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,800 There's human trafficking. There's sexual traffic. 664 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,720 All those things are emotional buzz buttons. 665 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,800 You know somebody dies from it. But the bigger game, which is 666 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,520 what the Chinese do, the bigger game is much, much bigger. 667 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,720 And and so let's let's kind of consider what does it look like? 668 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,720 What is that sort of larger strategic plan and and how do 669 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,560 we, how do we assess like handing that to people so they 670 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,720 can digest it in an easy way. The bigger plan is it's not 671 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,200 about drugs coming across the border. 672 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,440 It's not about some guy getting high in his basin. 673 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,800 As we just kind of said, it's strategic purchases with money 674 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,280 laundering. It's the sophisticated, you 675 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,720 know, business of the cartels that's going on South of the 676 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,280 border. And and those players all have a 677 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,800 vested interest. They still have to keep the 678 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,760 United States as a customer, do they not, That's the cartel's 679 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,680 interest. What do the Chinese hope to 680 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,240 accomplish based on what you're seeing? 681 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,360 Because, you know, if they want to defeat America, they don't 682 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,240 want to have like a black hole or a smoldering rubble of the 683 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,800 United States. You know, the continent here. 684 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,280 That doesn't help them, I don't think. 685 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,080 Well, if they weaken America by killing our future generation, 686 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,360 that helps them in a big way, a strategic advantage that our 687 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,320 education system is horrible right now with COVID. 688 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,880 And let's not forget where COVID came from, right? 689 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,520 And let's not forget you're an investigator. 690 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,800 You've been around a long time. We all have instinct about that. 691 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,520 My instinct is it was deliberate. 692 00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:12,920 It was an attack, a biological weapon attack that went bad. 693 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,960 Maybe. I'm not saying I have all the 694 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:15,639 facts. I'm not. 695 00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:19,679 I'm entitled to an opinion. But you can see the devastation 696 00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:23,480 at the COVID cost caused and then look at the impact on our 697 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,800 kids when it was staying home. Social isolation, losing years 698 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,080 of education, right. Depression, anxiety, which also 699 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,320 contributed to all these kids taking the pills. 700 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,840 OK, so there's a much bigger picture. 701 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,239 I'm not an expert on the CCP, I'm not an expert on China, but 702 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,960 it's just common sense to me from everything I've seen over 703 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,280 the years watching this thing about and paying a lot more 704 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,880 attention to it. So that's what I think. 705 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,800 And I I got to tell you, I haven't read it yet and I don't 706 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,280 know what you think. I'm not a book promoter, by the 707 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,880 way, but here, the blood money that came out by Peter Schweiser 708 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,400 this week. I mean, to me that tells the 709 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,680 whole story and I haven't. I haven't even read it. 710 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,440 But I have that. He sent me the outline of what 711 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,400 to expect in the book, and I could tell you it makes perfect 712 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,120 sense to me, right? Well, it's hard. 713 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,080 Anyway, no. No, I haven't seen it yet and I 714 00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:16,560 I'll have to put that on my list as well. 715 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,520 One of the I think we're talking about a a sort of a movement of 716 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,680 sophistication in the time when we're first of all federal law 717 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,320 enforcement is under assault. Because I think it's doing 718 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,280 political actions particularly my old my ex-girlfriend as I 719 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,880 call her the FBI is doing some awful news there's they're 720 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,120 basically sacrificing the ability to go after real poison 721 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,280 real danger CCP whatever it may be going after January Sixers, 722 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,000 which just doesn't make sense as a priority to me as a person. 723 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,600 Just a sensible guy that looks at it and says that's not that's 724 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:43,960 not killing people on the streets. 725 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,840 That's not building up our greatest geopolitical adversary. 726 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,440 But in a time when I kind of saw the DEA fault, like no one's 727 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,160 yelling at the DEA right now, that's actually probably a good 728 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,120 thing because the threat from the DEA that the DEA used to 729 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,000 handle was Colombian cartels, right? 730 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,760 That that was kind of the historical mission that we 731 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,640 remember going back 70s and 80s, bunch of cocaine coming in, 732 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,240 bunch of money happening down there. 733 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,280 There was some narco guerrillas that were happening. 734 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,840 There was some, you know, some different regimes that are 735 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,120 getting funded. Now we're talking about a wholly 736 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,840 different thing that wasn't actually threatening our 737 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,880 homeland in the way that we're talking about with the CCP. 738 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,160 The sophistication has gone up. The danger has actually become 739 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,080 more local. If. 740 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,080 Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. 741 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,000 No, no, no. But you know what, we've seen an 742 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,800 evolution there too. I was involved as the leader of 743 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,080 the SOD in Project Cassandra, which was the multi agency 744 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,680 effort led by us at SOD to actually infiltrate and expose 745 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,040 Hezbollah's global drug trafficking and money laundering 746 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,360 activities. And we actually infiltrated, you 747 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,000 know, the highest levels of the, you know, Kurds forces and the 748 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,040 operatives that were trying to support Iran and support the 749 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,520 radical agenda of of Hezbollah. OK, now they were making 750 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,240 hundreds of 1,000,000 billions actually in the one guy we 751 00:36:57,240 --> 00:37:01,760 indicted, he was moving $200 million a month back to 752 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,560 Hezbollah, OK, And he's on the run still. 753 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,360 But they were doing a used car deal. 754 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,040 What was what they were doing Kyle? 755 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,400 Real quick, as they were shipping multi tons of cocaine 756 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,160 into Africa, the drugs were being sold all over the world, 757 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,760 primarily in Europe. The monies were being collected, 758 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,120 the cash was collected and then Middle Eastern couriers were 759 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,440 transporting the cash back to Beirut. 760 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,520 Hezbollah militants bringing the money into the money exchange 761 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,480 houses, then routing that money into Lebanese Canadian bank and 762 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,080 other banks and then US transfers into America to car 763 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,760 dealerships all over the country. 764 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,000 They were buying cars and shipping them back to West 765 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,720 Africa to sell. And it was all done as this 766 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,640 very, very sophisticated trade based money laundering scheme to 767 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:52,280 support Hezbollah's efforts after the 2006 war with Israel. 768 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,640 They needed cash not only for Israel but for Syria and drug 769 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,000 trafficking was generating so much money for them and it was 770 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,160 easy money and they were tapping into that. 771 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,720 So we've seen the evolution and then of course, this is like at 772 00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:09,440 a whole new level, right, Because China's capabilities, 773 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,720 you know, are just massive. So yeah, it's it's getting more 774 00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:14,640 complex. It's getting more difficult. 775 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:19,000 And unfortunately, Kyle, because Congress has cobwebs in their 776 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,600 eyes, in their ears and their ass, excuse me, they don't pay 777 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,120 attention to technology. They don't know what's going on. 778 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,480 Right. The president's on TikTok. 779 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,280 I mean, wow, we're over here hearing such a, you know, the 780 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,680 first job of a leader is eliminate confusion, not 781 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,680 created. So we have one side of the 782 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,200 government saying, oh, TikTok is very dangerous for national 783 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,280 security. They're getting on our phones. 784 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,880 They're going to steal your information. 785 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,960 And then the president's got that goofy video was an ice 786 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,960 cream video, whatever the hell it was, where he's talking on 787 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,120 TikTok and he's so dry, so boring. 788 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,120 But yet the kids are watching. Oh, the president's using 789 00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,360 TikTok. This is great. 790 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,000 So it's like an advertisement for China with TikTok. 791 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000 It's crazy. But anyway, I don't even know 792 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,960 how I got on that whole TikTok thing. 793 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,000 But but basically it's very dangerous times. 794 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,120 But I want to point out something to you real quick. 795 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,600 So everyone says the kid took a pill. 796 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,400 You know the kids should know better. 797 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,280 Well did this kid know better when he went to the daycare 798 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,240 center? This one year old beautiful boy, 799 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,800 his mom drops him off in New York and because the savages in 800 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,680 New York left the kilos of of fentanyl on the mats, the kid 801 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,400 died. What about this kid from 802 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,240 Louisville Cash? Yeah, he's in the coffin. 803 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:36,000 His mother gave me this. She's trying to get awareness 804 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,360 right. This kid went to the father, the 805 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,560 the father's house and he went upstairs into the tenants room 806 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,960 and he touched some fentanyl. This kids not addicted to drugs. 807 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,080 OK, now what about this? Are we are we paying attention 808 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,440 to the military that's dying at record levels because they're 809 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,320 all stressed out? Because now in the military, all 810 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,240 these new things are being taught to military DEI and all 811 00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,800 this wacky stuff. That's not why you sign up to be 812 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,720 in the military. The brave men and women sign up 813 00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:10,600 in the military to defend America and they will do 814 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,160 whatever it takes. My brother came back in a body 815 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,200 bag doing this stuff. They didn't go there to hear 816 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,280 about all this. The military said they're not 817 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,880 discriminating against their brothers and sisters. 818 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,320 They're fighting with them. They're dying with them. 819 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,720 So it's disgusting. What about this beautiful 17 820 00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:30,360 year old or 19 year old University of North Carolina 821 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,400 management program? Beautiful kid. 822 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,920 She goes to visit her boyfriend and Duke, he gives her a pill, 823 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,040 she dies, and then the universities try to cover it up. 824 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,920 They don't report it. They don't want to paint the 825 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,120 image of their university. And so we have really bad 826 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,960 problems going on in this country. 827 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,600 And for everyone that's a baby watching this, I don't know if 828 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,200 it's on, will be on, but here's the State of the Union right 829 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,560 now. So after 911, you're Kyle, 830 00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,960 you're very familiar with this chart, the Homeland Security 831 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,720 color chart. Right now we're in severe 832 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,720 'cause. We have so many unknowns and 833 00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:08,560 ghost criminals in this country, we have no idea who's here. 834 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,800 Why are they here? What are they going to do? 835 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,000 Who sent them? What's their motive? 836 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,640 So we're sitting here just getting ready to respond. 837 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:19,680 It's intense. I'm going to take a deep breath 838 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,080 for that one, just for one moment. 839 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,640 There's so many. A second ago you said, I don't 840 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,760 even know how we got here, but there's so many of these 841 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,760 interconnected issues and and it's such a big problem. 842 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,960 It's so hard to see the bigger picture cars being sold. 843 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,960 I mean, I I remember I was just thinking about this when we 844 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,680 were, you know, we would see Africans and Middle Easterners 845 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,200 that would buy at car dealerships and we're like, why 846 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:43,880 are these guys buying Bentleys? What the Hell's going on? 847 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,520 And then we'd find out they were putting them into shipping 848 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,640 containers and send them to Africa and their money 849 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,480 laundering, like everything in this global economy is connected 850 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,240 and it's more and more of a complicated threat. 851 00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:56,560 And that's that's the reason I think it's so scary that when 852 00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,120 we're wasting priorities on things that are not the mission 853 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,240 set of your agency or my former agency and we're not getting 854 00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:05,760 involved in, like, this is a really hard thing to wrap your 855 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,400 head around. You just went on a rant about 856 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,120 all these different pieces that are connected. 857 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,400 And it's people's babies and it's, you know, car dealerships 858 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,880 that are that are buying and doing fraud and it's Chinese 859 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,480 business people buying, you know, sensitive property right 860 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,600 next to our military base. It's an enormous threat. 861 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,400 And it takes really, really capable, focused people that 862 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,320 can't take their eyes off the ball because the minute you do, 863 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,720 they've innovative and they've created a new scheme or a new 864 00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:29,800 scam, right? So Kyle, I I want to tell you 865 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,320 one other thing, 'cause I see that you're very educated and 866 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,840 very knowledgeable and had a lot of experience in the FBI with 867 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,000 this stuff. So one thing that we didn't even 868 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,920 talk about, which actually gets me like sick when I talk about 869 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,560 it, but I want you to know and I'll follow up and I'll send you 870 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,440 my document that I made cause I've been obsessed with this for 871 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,800 many years. So what I didn't talk about is 872 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,280 when K2 and Spice was being distributed all over the 873 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,480 country, the majority of distribution emanated from gas 874 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,560 stations, bodegas and convenience stores, all owned by 875 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,680 Middle Easterners and in many cases people from Yemen. 876 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,400 OK, what we watched is the movement of millions and 877 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,520 millions of dollars going back to Yemen, which at the time was 878 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:15,120 the hub for AQAP. Over there in in Yemen, right, 879 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,880 Al Qaeda's South. And there was a guy named Sheikh 880 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,400 Zindani who was Osama bin Laden's bin Laden's radical 881 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,880 cleric that was involved with the East Embassy bombing. 882 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,920 He was recruiting all these radical jihadists for many years 883 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,680 in Yemen and they had these worldwide fundraisers that they 884 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,320 were getting all these young. Kids from around the. 885 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,040 World to understand, you got to send money back because we're 886 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,800 fighting the big, you know, the big issue, right? 887 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,000 And so we were seeing millions of dollars go back there. 888 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,520 And then when the Houthis got down, there they were, they were 889 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,080 advertising on the news that they were collecting all this 890 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,600 money and all this cash was flowing into Yemen. 891 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,720 But here's the scary part. Remember Wally Al Hajj, who was 892 00:43:56,720 --> 00:44:01,160 involved with Osama bin Laden's terrorist attack on the East 893 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,000 Embassy, East African Embassy bombing? 894 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,120 He's in jail for the rest of his life. 895 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,880 He was convicted. He was the terrorist behind 896 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,520 that. He's got like 7 kids. 897 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,440 They lived in a they lived in America and Texas. 898 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,880 On front page of Newsweek, there was an article married to Al 899 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,880 Qaeda. Well, one of his sons was 900 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:26,320 arrested running one of these bodegas in Texas area, Dallas, 901 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:31,040 TX in 2016. So in my opinion, and I have a 902 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,960 lot more information on this. For years, they were using these 903 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,440 convenience stores as mini crime centers, untaxed cigarettes, 904 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:45,040 drug paraphernalia, EBT fraud, underage drinking, you know, all 905 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,120 these different things. And then synthetic drug 906 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,120 trafficking and then sending money back, hundreds of bodegas 907 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,400 around the country, sending money back to support Hezbollah, 908 00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,240 Houthis and ultimately Iran. And I went to the FBI 909 00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:02,320 headquarters. And that's another story for 910 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,960 another day because I'll have a heart attack if I go through 911 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,440 this story. But I went to the FBI and I had 912 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,040 a book similar to this. So now I have my fentanyl book, 913 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,240 right? I went there with all my 914 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:15,760 information on that, and I won the FBI and I won Jim Comedy. 915 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,800 My last day on the job. This was a serious threat. 916 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,520 And now it's kind of ironic when I hear about how effective the 917 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,640 Houthis are with all their missiles and everything. 918 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,680 So I would say, based on my experience as a trained 919 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,240 investigator who's very engaged over the years, that the bodegas 920 00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:37,520 and convenience stores and the illegal activity in this country 921 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,880 has been going to support the Houthis and Hezbollah and other 922 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,080 organizations for many years. And we never really put that 923 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,560 together. That's pretty sad and pathetic, 924 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,680 and it supports what you're saying about prioritization and 925 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,560 investigative work that's being done. 926 00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:57,480 It's it's such an incredible multi faceted multi headed 927 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,040 threat coming at us but they all go back to the same kind of 928 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,880 things. One, a goal of undermining the 929 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,600 United States is as a as a global power and sort of 930 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,640 undermining the the moralization of this country right you're 931 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,000 you're going to take the weakest thing and you're going to be 932 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,680 encourage that, make it easy make it accessible. 933 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,120 I saw guys that were overdosing on Spice and K2 in the military. 934 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,920 I mean they were taking the stuff because it was available 935 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,600 off base in these crappy little bodegas or gas stations just 936 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,760 like you're talking about. I saw guys that were standing on 937 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,120 the edge of a bridge and they had to get tackled by MPs 938 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,760 because they lost their ever loving minds because they took 939 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,200 something that was considered to be legal. 940 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,960 They were sold over the counter to people and it had some 941 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,920 concentration of God knows what. But that money even more 942 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,720 nefarious than bothering some poor idiot guy that decided to 943 00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:39,760 take some drug that doesn't make any sense and doing something 944 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,520 stupid on the weekend when it goes back in and is funding a 945 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,360 bigger operation that is actually building weaponry and 946 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,000 supporting Hezbollah, that is supporting an Iran. 947 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,240 And I was also hearing stories about whether or not there were 948 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,480 Mexican cartel connections to things like Hamas because there 949 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,000 is, there's a a trade of skill set. 950 00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:58,280 The the cartels tend to be pretty good at building tunnels. 951 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,800 I don't know why they are, but it seems like Hamas is actually 952 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,160 even better at doing that. And so you've got the guys that 953 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,000 are in Hamas that are professionally building tunnels, 954 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,160 right, Tradecraft, right. So you've got the ability to 955 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,480 smuggle people, drugs, material, weapons, etcetera, into in 956 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,400 Israel or into the Palestinian West Bank of this kind of 957 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,600 situation. All of these things sort of have 958 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,360 overlapping skills, and it's all about can we move things that 959 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,960 are illicit. And that's why I kind of hone in 960 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,520 on the idea that even though I'm not a big guy about caring about 961 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,640 whether people do drugs or not, as a personal level I I really 962 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:27,640 don't care what my neighbors are doing. 963 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:28,960 It doesn't matter. As long as you don't come into 964 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:29,920 my yard, it doesn't matter to me. 965 00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:33,760 However, the people we're talking about are not just 966 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,280 trying to sell some recreational product. 967 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:37,960 And if it was illegal, they will. 968 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,640 They'll move, you know, bombs, explosive, they'll move people, 969 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,040 they'll move children, they'll move a drug, anything that's 970 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,280 illicit. Basically what they've said is 971 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,600 that there's money to be made in contraband. 972 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,600 When I was going through the Academy, they always used to 973 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,720 yell contraband, the government's property. 974 00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:52,360 It was like the joke in the FBI Academy. 975 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,040 Contraband is anything that we know is going to be outside the 976 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,200 law, and that's what these people are in the business of. 977 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,600 It's not about a specific product. 978 00:47:58,600 --> 00:47:59,960 Would that be more or less accurate? 979 00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:05,440 100% It's what I would call very, very smart strategic 980 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,440 operations and shame on America, shame on our intelligence 981 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,200 community, shame on law enforcement, shame on everyone. 982 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,040 There's so much flame. You don't want to pick on 983 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,440 anyone. Entity. 984 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,800 But that's what we're supposed to be doing. 985 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,440 Connecting the dots. Keeping Americans safe, right? 986 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,680 Securing our borders right now, it's an absolute, chaotic state. 987 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,440 How do we, how do we address some of these things in the nuts 988 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,920 and bolts way everybody's got? I mean, we can all rant about 989 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,120 the things that that drive us nuts. 990 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,240 And I'm sure we both have our own, you know, hours and hours 991 00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:40,480 of that sort of thing built up in our soul at this point. 992 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,000 But what we always hear this, this, this cry and Americans are 993 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,480 just feeling like do something, I see it in my live chat all the 994 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,840 time. Do something like what? 995 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,320 Is that something that people can, individuals can do, 996 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,520 politicians can do, law enforcement can do. 997 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,000 Let's talk about that. OK, right off the bat. 998 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,760 One of the most important things to do right now that everyone 999 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,040 can control as parents, as uncles, aunts, grandparents, 1000 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,560 right, brothers and sisters, is we have to educate the young 1001 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,960 about the dangers of the illicit drugs today and how it's 1002 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,240 different and why it's different. 1003 00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:13,360 All right, So what I've called for and I still call for it, but 1004 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,480 it hasn't moved very quickly. The president should be 1005 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,440 declaring a national security, public health emergencies from 1006 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,400 these chemicals that are coming into the country. 1007 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,200 And he should bring social media influences, celebrities, role 1008 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:29,360 models, professional athletes, both men and women to the White 1009 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,680 House and educate them about why this is different, why this is a 1010 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,760 mass poisoning and why they need to get involved. 1011 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,480 And how do they get involved? They create 32nd, 45 second 1012 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,720 video reels about the dangers of these illicit drugs. 1013 00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:46,720 And they go on social media, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat. 1014 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,040 And that's where all the kids are every single day, 8 hours, 1015 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,720 10 hours, 12 hours a day. The kids today are not watching 1016 00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:55,600 social media. I'm I'm sorry, they're not 1017 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,280 watching cable news. And I watching mainstream media. 1018 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,120 They're not watching congressional hearings. 1019 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,800 They're not watching, not listening to podcasts and all 1020 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,160 this informative stuff like you're doing and everyone else, 1021 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,400 they're watching the video reels all day. 1022 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,240 They're funny as hell. I watch them. 1023 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,000 You watch them, right? You sit there, you get addicted 1024 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,840 to it. So if some Michael Jordan, not 1025 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,000 even Michael Jordan is a little older, but like Tom Brady, you 1026 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,800 know, you know, Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift, you know, Steph 1027 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:27,120 Curry, LeBron James. They start putting out short 1028 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,200 videos. The kids are going to go, wow, 1029 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,160 we didn't know about this and maybe that's going to save 1030 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,240 lives. They're not even doing the basic 1031 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,840 second thing. We're not actually holding CDC 1032 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,040 Department of Education responsible and accountable. 1033 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:45,440 So right now the CDC stats on fentanyl poisoning is 1034 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,680 horrendous. We don't know how many people 1035 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,640 are poisoned every day because knock cans out there saving so 1036 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,320 many Americans. We would have no idea how many 1037 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,720 people on a national level of being poisoned. 1038 00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,160 The deaths are always miscategorized. 1039 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,640 There's no leadership on consistency of reporting across 1040 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,920 the country. I talked to families about this 1041 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,480 all the time. It makes them so upset because 1042 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,400 they can't get accurate autopsy reports. 1043 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,880 The the the labs are overwhelmed. 1044 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,520 The medical examiners can't handle it like in Seattle, King 1045 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:21,600 County, the 1st 30 was it 23 days of last year? 1046 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:26,040 They had no cooler space in the lab, in the morgue for the dead 1047 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,240 bodies because they don't have resources they don't have. 1048 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,640 They're getting overwhelmed. So there's no really good 1049 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,200 statistics. You got to to really assess the 1050 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:35,920 threat. You have to have the statistical 1051 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,280 data, right? You have to have the data. 1052 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,080 Then you also have no education to our younger Americans. 1053 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,960 Department of Education can go in and teach, you know, all 1054 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,160 these different topics. I'm not going to name them, but 1055 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:48,800 you know what I'm talking about, OK. 1056 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,720 But the kids can't hear about the dangers of taking a 1057 00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:55,600 prescription pill from somebody that it's not, you know, 1058 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,840 prescribed to you. Like little things like that can 1059 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,000 be done. There's a movie Dead on Arrival. 1060 00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:03,960 I encourage everyone in America 20 minutes with your kids, your 1061 00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,960 grandkids. I work with the families. 1062 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,760 As a matter of fact, Monday night I'll be at the FBI 1063 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,920 Academy. Hundreds of state and locals 1064 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,080 will be talking to them, will be bringing the parents in that 1065 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,160 have lost their kids, that have made the documentary Dead on 1066 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,600 arrival. It's like I said, 20 minutes. 1067 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,040 So there's no excuse. And it's very powerful. 1068 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,320 Things like that can be put on steroids. 1069 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,560 When's the last time you saw APSA Kyle during Prime time TV 1070 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,640 from ONDCP as an example? I haven't seen one, OK? 1071 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,600 And I've been calling for him for a long time. 1072 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,960 So there's a lot we can do on the demand side, the education, 1073 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,800 which is not being done and there's no excuse for that, OK? 1074 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:46,320 Now in my opinion, if you walked in your house today and you had 1075 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,920 a massive water leak and your pipe exploded on the in the 1076 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,600 attic or whatever, what's the first thing you have to do? 1077 00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:53,480 Turn off the. Water. 1078 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,400 So the main valve of our problem now with the death and 1079 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,120 destruction is Mexico and the cartels. 1080 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,400 So why are we sitting back rolling out the red carpet for 1081 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,040 the Mexican government instead of being aggressive and telling 1082 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:12,280 them we want to use our best assets, best authorities, to go 1083 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,480 after the cartels? We want to work with you. 1084 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,960 We don't want to do it unilaterally, but we have to 1085 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,440 save the American lives. We can't afford to lose 100,000 1086 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,200 plus every year. Now, if Mexico doesn't want to 1087 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,280 do it, then we have to treat the cartels like ISIS, treat them 1088 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,120 like Al Qaeda, and decimate them, wipe them off the face of 1089 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:34,840 the earth, 'cause we can't have anyone attacking these beautiful 1090 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,200 kids and killing these kids. Nobody really thinks killing 1091 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:42,720 kids is a good thing, right? So we have to be aggressive now 1092 00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:45,440 with China. It's way out of my understanding 1093 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,600 of the complexity of the threat. But they're all little things 1094 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,040 like some of the tariff stuff that President Trump was doing 1095 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,200 to kind of, you know, get them to change with the movement of 1096 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,440 the chemicals. Right now they know America's 1097 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,920 weak and they're going to completely take advantage of the 1098 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,440 weakness. So we have to step it up. 1099 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,400 But the other thing Kyle and having a lot of experience 1100 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,840 running probably the largest you know, synchronization 1101 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,160 operational center in the country on criminal law 1102 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:16,720 enforcement, OK, because of course FBI has a JTTF operations 1103 00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:20,400 and stuff like that. But I will tell you that the 1104 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,480 agencies are not being held accountable across the board for 1105 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:28,400 information sharing, for unity of effort operations focusing on 1106 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,280 the biggest threats to the country. 1107 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,840 That's another leadership problem, right. 1108 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:36,000 So these things that are self-inflicted that we can 1109 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,480 correct overnight to make things a lot better, we're not going to 1110 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,240 solve anything overnight, but we can curtail the amount of poison 1111 00:54:43,240 --> 00:54:46,040 coming in. We can if we shut off the money 1112 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:50,040 flow and the chemical flow, which we could do with U.S. 1113 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,560 military assets by the ports in Mexico where these container 1114 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,360 shipments are coming in. And we have really good 1115 00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,480 capabilities, as you know, in the US government. 1116 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,800 And we're not taking advantage of that right now because we're 1117 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,320 not treating this as like a war. We're under war. 1118 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:08,960 We're in war right now, OK, Not traditional war like the B50 1119 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,400 twos aren't coming over, you know, Northern Virginia right 1120 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,800 now. But we're at war. 1121 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:18,120 The soldiers are on the ground. The gangs are set up and they're 1122 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,160 going to rip apart this country if we don't start doing 1123 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,360 something. So there are tangible things 1124 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,600 that can be done. But you need leadership and you 1125 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,520 need honest people that are going to tell the public the 1126 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,800 truth. Not in the best interest of 1127 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,840 anyone party, but the best interests of the American 1128 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:34,880 citizens that pay their salaries. 1129 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,440 Absolutely. What do you think about the you 1130 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,440 just drew a a really clear line between the narcotics trade and 1131 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,960 the terrorist sort of threat that exists and so counter 1132 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,440 terrorism resources are put into these fusion centers. 1133 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,760 I know that we have task force like Haida and things like that, 1134 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,560 the high intensity drug trafficking areas, do we need to 1135 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,920 be fusing those together that our fusion centers need to be 1136 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,320 dual like narco terroristic trafficking? 1137 00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:01,120 First of all, the first thing that has to be done is an 1138 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,920 assessment of the capabilities that are out there because what 1139 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,000 happens in this country. And actually, Washington Post 1140 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,520 had a really good story years ago in like 2004 Secret, Top 1141 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,480 Secret America, they called it. The government's building up all 1142 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,880 these capabilities all over the Beltway, spending billions and 1143 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,840 billions of dollars. The private, the private 1144 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,920 companies are making all this money. 1145 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,240 The problem is if they're not connected and there's no 1146 00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:28,800 synergy, it's almost defeating the purpose of what we're trying 1147 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,880 to do Now. I believe everyone's well 1148 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,680 intended, right, to build up capabilities, use technology, 1149 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,040 but you have to have leadership, understand how it comes together 1150 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,160 and who's accountable for the results. 1151 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,960 Right now, accountability for results are out the window and 1152 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,480 especially on the information sharing. 1153 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,120 Believe me, I do this every day. I built the deconfliction 1154 00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:53,280 systems 20 years ago. I had a saying if you want to 1155 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,160 connect the dots, you have to collect the dots because I was 1156 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,080 frustrated seeing the communication data scattered 1157 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,560 throughout all the agencies and it was siloed everywhere. 1158 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,160 So you couldn't connect the networks. 1159 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,840 As you know the saying illuminate the networks. 1160 00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:10,080 We need to illuminate the networks, identify the 1161 00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:14,720 weaknesses and decimate them. We could do it if we have the 1162 00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:16,560 leadership to bring people together. 1163 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,160 Right now the federal agencies are in disarray. 1164 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,080 Everyone's looking for retirement jobs. 1165 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,520 They're looking to retire, take care of their families. 1166 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,360 They feel like they're on a Titanic after it hit the 1167 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,000 iceberg. So they want to get back to to 1168 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,480 the to the to safety and security. 1169 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,040 But unfortunately, once you leave, then you can no longer 1170 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,560 contribute to the fight that we need to fight. 1171 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,640 So we're losing mass amounts of quality experience, law 1172 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,440 enforcement personnel around the country, not just law 1173 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,240 enforcement either. Intelligence community, DoD, 1174 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,160 right? So we're losing that experience. 1175 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,760 At the same time, the traffickers are more and more 1176 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:57,080 sophisticated. The the technologies are putting 1177 00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,680 us in the dark. So we're losing the the ground, 1178 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,640 the good guys verse the bad guys. 1179 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,600 We're losing a lot of ground and the gap between good and evil. 1180 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,400 So I'm going to show you something real quick. 1181 00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,600 I made this on my last week of the DEA and I even showed this 1182 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,760 to director call me on my last day on the job. 1183 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,320 The red line represents the complexity of the threat. 1184 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,320 The green line represents the ability to deal with the threat, 1185 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,960 and the other line is the gap between good and evil. 1186 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:29,440 So as time's going on, the gap between good and bad is growing, 1187 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:31,960 which means every American is at risk. 1188 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,320 It's that simple. It is. 1189 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,120 It's here's the the simple, or maybe the maybe the ugliest 1190 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,640 question. Do you think this is nefarious, 1191 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,960 or is this incompetence in our inability to to go after the 1192 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,120 threat? You know, that's a really good 1193 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,000 question, and I'll try my best to answer that. 1194 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,080 Well, you know, as you when you were working in your job for 1195 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,680 years and you were focused on going after bad guys, you 1196 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:00,800 weren't paying attention to the politics as much. 1197 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,000 You weren't paying attention to all this nonsense. 1198 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,680 When you retire and you look back, you start seeing the 1199 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,960 nefarious side of things. So, crystal, clearly, I will use 1200 00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,960 the example of the Hunter Biden laptop, OK? 1201 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,040 As a guy that grew up in a family of public servants and a 1202 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,520 guy that forever thought everything was like, you know, 1203 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,120 about law and order and keeping Americans safe. 1204 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,440 You know, as you know, law enforcement, we don't make a lot 1205 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,640 of money and we're out there, you know, sacrificing our lives, 1206 00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,080 leaving our kids behind, our wives behind, our husbands 1207 00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,120 behind. And then you look back at all 1208 00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,880 these intelligence officials are signing a letter that Russia, 1209 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,000 that the the laptop was rushing disinformation campaign. 1210 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,400 And then it's funded by the Hillary Clinton Foundation and 1211 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,600 all the stuff that, you know, I don't have to get into all that. 1212 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,720 But that's really, really sad to me, like, as a guy that grew up 1213 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,800 dedicating my life, burying my brother, to think that this can 1214 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,120 happen in this great country. And now when you see the 1215 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,240 weaponization of the Justice Department or you see the stolen 1216 01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:07,080 elections, the fraudulent elections, no voter ID, you 1217 01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:08,920 start scratching your head. I have no hand. 1218 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,240 But you start scratching your head and you wonder, how's this 1219 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:13,920 happening? Why is this happening? 1220 01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,480 It's really, really difficult to understand for people that are 1221 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,640 patriotic, that care about this country And I do believe. 1222 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,880 The vast majority of Americans, no matter what they vote for, 1223 01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,640 they are good family members. They love their country. 1224 01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,480 They love their family. You know that they're trying to, 1225 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,960 you know, make their kids live in a world that is better than 1226 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,240 that they lived in. So I think the majority of 1227 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,640 people. But now we have something going 1228 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,680 on, which is hard for me to articulate, which it is a lot 1229 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:45,160 more nefarious now than ever when our own government is 1230 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,160 actually involved in things that you never would have dreamed of. 1231 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,320 Like, think about it, the intelligence community is 1232 01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:56,040 signing a letter that that laptop is rushing 1233 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,080 disinformation. Are you kidding me? 1234 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,640 Flies or intercepts on these opera? 1235 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:04,560 I mean, it's I can't even imagine when I worked in my 1236 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:08,240 operation, I knew that when I got a top secret document, I 1237 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,120 wasn't leaving that skip. I wasn't coming out of that 1238 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,960 room. Even in my operation right now, 1239 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:17,560 people are going home with this stuff and you'll keep it in the 1240 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:21,080 garage or whatever it may be. It's really exciting. 1241 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,200 And on that note, not playing politics. 1242 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,480 But I want to say this because this bothers me. 1243 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,000 Put aside all politics. Just use the individual. 1244 01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:33,080 Donald Trump's being prosecuted for massive mishandle of 1245 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,880 classified information. Joe Biden obviously mishandled 1246 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:40,480 classified information as well, but he's too senile and he's too 1247 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,960 old and he's forgetful. So we're not going to prosecute 1248 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:44,560 him. Here's my problem with that. 1249 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:49,000 And I'm not suggesting he should be prosecuted or Trump should be 1250 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,360 prosecuted. That's irrelevant. 1251 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:56,160 But he's qualified to run America during the most complex 1252 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,120 times in the history of this country. 1253 01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,560 That doesn't make sense. Not a bit. 1254 01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,200 Not even a little bit to me and and that double standard that 1255 01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,600 that playing politics at DOJI think that that's the thing that 1256 01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,760 confuses so many people. I I tend to agree with you that 1257 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,480 most people, even at the top, they're getting shoved out 1258 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,880 because they came in with the idealism they came in and now 1259 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,600 they're looking for that retirement gig they got to get 1260 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,920 out because the agency that they they joined is not the agency 1261 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:22,000 that they're a part of at this point. 1262 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,280 The word. The word betrayal has come up a 1263 01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:28,080 lot for me in the last couple weeks at the concept of 1264 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,520 betrayal, which is to say you signed up to do one thing. 1265 01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,000 You dedicated your life to doing that as a professional. 1266 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,880 You thought you were part of the team. 1267 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,280 That's Team America not, you know, like you say, not red or 1268 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,760 blue, but red, white and blue and then you're being asked to 1269 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,360 do or your agency is shifting your efforts in the wrong 1270 01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:45,680 direction. Doesn't matter if you're Border 1271 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,520 Patrol, DEAFBI, doesn't matter what agency you're part of. 1272 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,480 Can you reflect a little bit on the betrayal both of the people 1273 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,880 that are currently doing the job, but those who did the job, 1274 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:56,080 that have that retirement check coming in, they have that 1275 01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,440 credentials at the name. They spent all that time 1276 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,440 building a legacy and now we're seeing, it looks like in 1277 01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,760 shambles a lot of times. Yeah. 1278 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,840 So I want to use the Border Patrol as an example because, 1279 01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,640 like, I know a lot of Border Patrol men and women, and I have 1280 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,720 my friends that I work with now, and Border 911 tell me a lot of 1281 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,280 these stories. And they grew up in the ranks of 1282 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,840 Border Patrol. So when these guys and ladies 1283 01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,200 are signing up for Border Patrol, they really believe 1284 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:23,120 they're trying to protect America and they're out there 1285 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,440 putting their lives on the line in the middle of the deserts and 1286 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,720 doing the job. But unfortunately, now they are 1287 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,760 doing babysitting and administrative duties every day, 1288 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:33,760 and they see the country falling apart. 1289 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,520 So they're feeling very depressed, very anxious. 1290 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:41,280 The suicides are going up. The domestic violence is going 1291 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,600 up. The alcohol incidents are going 1292 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,880 up. And the reality is it's because 1293 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,680 they can't understand. Wait a minute. 1294 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,600 I was told that if I took on a job of Border Patrol, I could 1295 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,720 save American lives. And that's what I want to do. 1296 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,920 I'm red, white and blue and I lived in Texas my whole life. 1297 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:58,560 I want to do something for the country. 1298 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,880 And then they realizing, wait a second, that's not what I signed 1299 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,240 up for. And now I'm stalking this. 1300 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,920 But then it gets worse Kyle. Now their bosses are not telling 1301 01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,240 the American public the truth cause the bosses are basically 1302 01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:15,440 giving talking points of what the administration once said 1303 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,840 which is contradicting. The best example is the DHS 1304 01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:22,200 secretary is saying he's got operational control of the 1305 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:27,080 border and everyone in America. If you watch the videos, if you 1306 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,360 see what's going on, you know, that's an outright lie. 1307 01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,800 And he was barely impeached in the House. 1308 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,600 He most definitely, in my opinion, will not go through in 1309 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,880 the Senate, right, because of the politics. 1310 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,080 But he lied to America, he lied to Congress, and there's no 1311 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,800 accountability. So people are getting very 1312 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,520 disgruntled and betrayed. They feel betrayed because they 1313 01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,360 were misled. They could have been involved in 1314 01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:53,840 other professions. Now they're stuck in the mud or 1315 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:57,560 in the quicksand of law enforcement not doing what they 1316 01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,960 signed up to do. So yeah, they were misled. 1317 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,560 They were betrayed, whatever word you want to use. 1318 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,200 And that's what's kind of going on. 1319 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,200 So those that are in the job long enough that can retire, 1320 01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,880 they're jumping off the ship. They're gone. 1321 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:14,320 And now the agencies are stuck with the remains and the remains 1322 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:18,400 don't have a lot of experience in many cases, OK, as you know, 1323 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,160 how many guys, for example, in the FBI. 1324 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:25,200 And I'm not picking on the FBI, I'm just stating the fact, OK, 1325 01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,520 they were brand new agents at Quantico. 1326 01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,200 They got assigned to the counter terrorism division. 1327 01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,680 They weren't ever arresting anybody. 1328 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,680 They never went out and did real investigations. 1329 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:39,520 They were headquarters guys. Then they became, you know, 1330 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,280 division, you know, unit chiefs or section chiefs, whatever 1331 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,320 they're called these days. And then it became SES is 1332 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,440 running the entire division now. Call me did change that. 1333 01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,880 I was told that he felt that the guys had to go into the criminal 1334 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:53,240 division. I don't know if that's. 1335 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:54,200 True, they just ignored. It. 1336 01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:58,680 But yeah, But again, like, so you know what I mean by 1337 01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,840 experience. Investigators, unless you're out 1338 01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,840 there in the real world doing the investigations, making 1339 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,760 arrests, going to court, dealing with the interagency, you're not 1340 01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,640 learning the job. So some of these people, not 1341 01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:15,040 just FBI are running divisions of all these agencies now 1342 01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,040 running entire programs for these agencies. 1343 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,560 That's scary. Remember that that chart I just 1344 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,800 showed you? That's contributed to the green, 1345 01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:25,720 OK? A lot of the green is 1346 01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,920 self-inflicted. It's like the prosecutors, you 1347 01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,800 know, Department of Justice for many years, not just the current 1348 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,440 administration. We let these prosecutors get 1349 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:38,680 away with not prosecuting. Now I was very fortunate when I 1350 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,280 was in SOD. We had the Southern District of 1351 01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,120 New York. We were prosecuting all these 1352 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,240 big international criminals. They supported us. 1353 01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,440 But around the country guys were out there. 1354 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:53,040 My buddy just wrote this book, you know, Fast and Furious. 1355 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:54,960 Where the hell is it? The deadly path. 1356 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,360 Peter Forselli, an executive, Go read this book. 1357 01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:03,240 He'll talk about all the weapons and grenade parts that were 1358 01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,320 going to Mexico to supply to the cartels. 1359 01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,400 But the prosecutors wouldn't prosecute. 1360 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,360 They'd have to let him go. Now, this is nothing new to 1361 01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,320 anybody like you and me and others that work in this field, 1362 01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,600 But the public doesn't understand that. 1363 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,800 That also contributes to the Green Line, and that's something 1364 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,600 that can be turned around tomorrow with the right. 1365 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,520 Leadership. No, that's 100% of political 1366 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,760 problem. The will to prosecute is just 1367 01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,920 it's so atrocious and and when you see the declination letters 1368 01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,440 come in for things that are that are legit cases that need to be 1369 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:34,680 prosecuted but it's not the priority of a regime. 1370 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:36,120 You just go God, what are we doing? 1371 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,280 You you also just triggered sort of my my mental crisis of the 1372 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:41,840 number of senior executives at the FBI that have three to six 1373 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,160 years of field experience which is when I was leaving, by the 1374 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:45,080 way. That's when I was getting tossed 1375 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:46,960 that I was right coming into the prime where I was like all right 1376 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,720 now I know how the agency works. Now I know what the mechanisms 1377 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:51,280 are. Now I've seen enough bad things 1378 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:52,480 and I will also by the way, I came in. 1379 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,640 I came in at 36, which is not all that common. 1380 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,080 So I got a lot more life experience and now I'm ready to 1381 01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,440 start doing some real casework. And that's the time when those 1382 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,400 people are moving on to management and they're never 1383 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,320 going to see another case again. And they're not going to see 1384 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,320 another case. They're going to be SES ers 15 1385 01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,640 years in the management track, six years or less of 1386 01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:09,800 investigative of which the first three are just trying to figure 1387 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:11,680 out where your ass is. So most of these people have no 1388 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,680 idea what's going on and then they'll come and tell you, well, 1389 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,080 I had the best cases in my division. 1390 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,040 It's like, no, you didn't. You were the newest person. 1391 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:18,760 You didn't have any of the best cases because you didn't know 1392 01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:20,399 how to run sources. You were a weird weirdo. 1393 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,800 You were just learning how the agency worked and then suddenly 1394 01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:24,439 they moved you on to the next step. 1395 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,399 It's like they checked the box at the minimum level of 1396 01:08:26,399 --> 01:08:29,840 capabilities and qualifications and that is that experience gap. 1397 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,120 Your gap is right on. It doesn't have to be exactly 1398 01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,240 right for us to know that there's a widening gap between 1399 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,640 experience and the and the enemy's capabilities which are 1400 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,000 scary and and and big. I'm really glad that you're out 1401 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,319 there yelling about this stuff. And and I know that's just the 1402 01:08:41,319 --> 01:08:43,120 New York way. You got that that excitement, 1403 01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:45,160 that energy behind it. It feels right. 1404 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,560 It feels like the right energy to have about this problem to 1405 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,160 me. So put it this way, I will tell 1406 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,399 you that. And this is going to sound kind 1407 01:08:52,399 --> 01:08:55,880 of corny, but it's true. There's two things. 1408 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,880 Well, three things now that drive me like this every day. 1409 01:08:59,399 --> 01:09:03,080 Number one, I'll never forget 911. 1410 01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:06,560 I'll never forget my brother's excitement to go fight for the 1411 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,640 country in Afghanistan. He told his mother he's going to 1412 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,960 see it next time. The next time my mother sees him 1413 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,560 is in a body bag. So he knew he was going into the 1414 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,640 bed situation. He trained his whole life in the 1415 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,080 military and finally got some action in Afghanistan anyway. 1416 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,080 And then of course, the families I've been supporting about seven 1417 01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,319 years, doing rallies, making colleges, listening to their 1418 01:09:27,319 --> 01:09:29,399 stories. They've called me the Voice of 1419 01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:32,800 the Voiceless, which I think is a pretty cool title to have 1420 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,600 because you're impacting a lot of people and they and that 1421 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,120 really makes me feel pretty good. 1422 01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:40,000 It's all retired guy. The third thing is, of course, 1423 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,920 my own own family, right? So my own family. 1424 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,479 I want my kids to have a life that I've had. 1425 01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,840 I've had a pretty good life and I want to see those kids to grow 1426 01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,040 up with opportunities financially and family 1427 01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,720 opportunities. And right now I see a train 1428 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,720 going off the Cliff. So I feel like, you know, if not 1429 01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,320 me, then who, right? Like I have to step up. 1430 01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,360 We all have to step up. You're stepping up by doing 1431 01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,640 these kind of things and all the other work that you're doing. 1432 01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,960 So people have to start stepping up. 1433 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,600 We have to have more people, but unfortunately, everyone's afraid 1434 01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,360 to do that as well, Kyle, because they're afraid of the 1435 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:19,760 retribution, the retaliation. I mean, honestly, like, I think 1436 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,640 about it because I'm over here. I I honestly try to stay out of 1437 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,680 the politics as best I can. I'm just saying things that 1438 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,440 impact everyone. You look at my charts, the 1439 01:10:29,440 --> 01:10:33,240 charts of these families, this black, this white, Hispanic, 1440 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:36,640 this Eskimos, this Indians, this rich, this poor, you know, 1441 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:40,040 little cash. His mother was a drug addict in 1442 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,600 Kentucky, and she tells her story. 1443 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,680 You want to hear her story? She says. 1444 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,000 My baby died from someone else's addiction. 1445 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:52,400 When I stop my addiction, 'cause my baby's birthright, it was 1446 01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,720 pretty sad. And that Lady, you know, she's, 1447 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,920 she's very passionate, but she's like these, these families have 1448 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,000 inspired me and motivated me to do more. 1449 01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:06,360 And that's just the way it is. But I feel like a little bit 1450 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:09,400 beat down at times because I don't see the level of 1451 01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,040 engagement. And again, I'm not just blaming 1452 01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:15,160 the current administration, but when you open up the border, 1453 01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,960 you've just facilitated the ability for the Chinese and the 1454 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,440 and the Mexican cartels to kill at record levels and make 1455 01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:23,840 billions of dollars. And one last thing I want you to 1456 01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,160 know about this. I failed to say it. 1457 01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,800 So in September, I went to the DEA's largest international drug 1458 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,440 law enforcement conference in the history of the DEA. 1459 01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:37,880 They had 130 countries together collaborate and cooperating on 1460 01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,080 the international drug crisis. But unfortunately the one 1461 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,720 country that did not show up was Mexico. 1462 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:48,840 Now to me, I immediately made a video from outside the the 1463 01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:53,920 facility in in Jamaica. And I was really upset about 1464 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:57,680 that because the administrator of DEA was talking about all 1465 01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,080 these dead kids that you know, they have to face the fentanyl 1466 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,520 exhibit in in the headquarters and to think Mexico wasn't there 1467 01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,160 and then we let them get away with that. 1468 01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:09,000 I would have shot the money off that day. 1469 01:12:09,480 --> 01:12:12,240 I would call the State Department, say Mexico gets 1470 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:16,240 nothing and when they want to know why Because our kids are 1471 01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:20,040 dying at record levels and they threw sand in our face and they 1472 01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,760 didn't show up at the conference and everyone recognized their 1473 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,240 absence. Seems reasonable too. 1474 01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,560 And yeah, that just seems like a lack of political will in so 1475 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,360 many ways. What is the best way for people 1476 01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,080 to follow support where you want to prioritize sort of the 1477 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:33,880 efforts as as folks that are looking? 1478 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:39,600 At yourightnowborder911.com like I said, I'm on a team with six 1479 01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:42,320 American Patriots trying to fight for everyone. 1480 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:46,680 So I really appreciate any type of support we're having an event 1481 01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:48,800 like I said April 4th at Mar a Lago. 1482 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,360 But I also have, you know, Derek Maltz, under score senior at 1483 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,720 Twitter.

I have a YouTube channel. 1486 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,960 I put all the media hits and all the podcasts and all that stuff. 1487 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,280 There's as much as I can do by myself as, you know, doing this 1488 01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,200 stuff yourself.

Clothes are actually tiny 1579 01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,120 prisons for your lips. 27,000 years ago they didn't wear 1580 01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:09,240 Mickey Mouse T-shirts. Why should I rise and grind your 1581 01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,200 teeth? Moms hate that. 1582 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:15,560 Ride your bike to the furthest possible point from your house, 1583 01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:20,240 then refuse to ride it anymore. Make your dad carry it home. 1584 01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:23,800 Now you're a personal trainer. That's passive income. 1585 01:17:24,480 --> 01:17:28,760 I don't get sick. I become the disease. 1586 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:32,800 If you have a newborn sibling, throw a plastic elephant at 1587 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:36,040 their head. Pressure builds diamonds and 1588 01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,240 concussions. Build hard workers. 1589 01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:43,560 Are my shoes on the wrong feet? Or is the universe completely 1590 01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,160 backwards and I'm actually right? 1591 01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:50,160 Chaos keep having an awesome psychotic attitude. 1592 01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:55,240 Rome wasn't built in a day. That's why I fill my pockets 1593 01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:59,960 with rocks every single day. One day I will have enough rocks 1594 01:17:59,960 --> 01:18:03,600 to build a Colosseum. Why do they call it ground beef? 1595 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:08,680 Because it's ground up. That's typical small minded 1596 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:10,400 thinking. It's because you're supposed to 1597 01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,640 eat it off the ground. The other day I accidentally 1598 01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:15,760 took a sip of my mom's whole coffee. 1599 01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:19,160 Changed my perspective. I was pussy. 1600 01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,280 What a silly guy. That is the way toddlers think 1601 01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:27,120 though, isn't it That the Romas built in the day fill your 1602 01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:28,960 pockets with rocks? That must be what my children 1603 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:30,240 are doing. They're constantly gathering 1604 01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:31,840 shells and rocks.
