you have one part i want to ask about before you leave about militias in this
new season
i would like to be part of a militia one day so i want to say that out loud
and and i think because i i believe i'm i'm like the revolution guy i want
there to be a revolution
i want to be like on a horse you know charge you know i want to be like on a
horseback or even a
pony i'll get on a pony it'll be fucking weird and people are like dude hurry
the fuck up i'm
like dude it's this fucking small horse and but i do want to be part of the
revolution right i want
to at least try and charge the hill before we all get gunned down by palantir
allegedly allegedly you
have to go back in time a little bit right but i'm not living in the right time
i don't know actually
might be yes that's what i'm saying so what do you find out about militias are
they good or bad
we don't go into a story thinking about whether they're good or bad however i
would say that there
has been a growth of militias in the united states that it can be dangerous
that we are at a time in
which we're more divided and torn apart than ever we are seeing militias grow
on both sides of the
spectrum so not only right-wing militias but left-wing militias too and they're
both in answer to the
other side right so we filmed with a group called patriots for america who are
operating on the border
and basically what they are seeing is an invasion of amer of immigrants into
america and they decided they
they train they use combat gear they use you know night vision like top of the
line this is it
top of the line uh combat gear and they go out there patrolling the border um
yep we are a diverse
community of patriots that love our country okay yeah so uh what they say they're
doing is they're
just patrolling although they have been accused of actually um detaining one of
the migrants they i
asked them that they say they don't touch the migrants uh ever they just patrol
and they're sort
of a a what do you call it a deterning deterring deterring force yes to prevent
migrants for coming
um what is interesting is that they're also operating we saw it they told us
that they have support of a lot
of uh sheriff's departments in the area and they're also helping border patrol
we saw we were there the
day we filmed we filmed them calling border patrol because they had seen some
migrants crossing we
didn't see the migrants but they did and and they called border patrol the
border patrol came and they
hitched a ride with border patrol we filmed behind as they were going to show
where the migrants were
crossing into the united states they sound awesome to me to be okay to you they
do part it causes all
sorts of trouble problems so actually you uh a well-regulated militia which is
in fact in our
constitution is allowed what is not allowed is unregulated militias acting and
pretending uh as if you
are law enforcement okay uh dressing up uh training combat training for combats
all that is actually not
legal and what we decided is you know sam hall who's the leader of this militia
we spent a night with
him and seeing his work and you know i'm not saying that what they're trying to
accomplish you know
they they believe the country is being invaded they decided that they wanted to
do i i'm a strong
believer our government is broken particularly when it comes to immigration
policy but i'm a strong
believer in holding our country accountable it's very much part of the work
that i do instead of
arming myself and training for war and going down there yeah i agree to scare
girls little girls and
kids and and women i think that is horrible having filmed and spent time with
some of these migrants
who are crossing the border who are victims many times of extortion of rape you
know little kids
who are scared to death and then they come across these heavily armed uniformed
guys that they think are
border patrol that are a deterring factor and therefore probably you know
whatever they do even if they
don't talk it's scary right and so i i don't personally think that's the way to
go right um i think i think
you vote i think you go to the ballot you get involved politically and if you
really want to change you try to
change it that way yeah has it worked no but is that the solution it's not
right i agree it's not i think
there is part of this right i agree it's like somebody that's coming over here
that's looking for a
better life that wants something different um i think the the border system
they left it open and
broken on purpose i think to create a lot almost because it inspires people who
believe in america
maybe these people's parents died protecting their country right and now they're
thinking well they're
having people come across the border and a lot of them weren't even latinos a
lot of them were uh
were bad actors a lot of them were people that came here with ill intent right
um i think only 40
were latinos that came across the border during like this great migration that's
happened during
like the biden administration right yeah and then also you're like yeah it
could it's like but that
doesn't mean that they're bad people no not at all it doesn't but at all i
think it's really tough
though if you're like if you were a person who maybe your dad served in the
military and then you
start to think our government doesn't care about us anymore uh maybe some maybe
uh someone who came
across the border raped somebody in your town or did something bad now you're
all you care about is
protecting your own so it's like i can just see how people can start to do this
sort of thing right
and i don't know and i think in the end to me it's all our government's fault i
think they want the
words they want the videos of the bull they want all the fucking fighting so
they can keep
us arguing about this shit they can get so they can keep getting votes well we're
gonna do it this
year they've never done it they've never figured it out you know i think i
think immigration not to
get animated no i get very animated about this heartbreak it's fucked up and
they they're the ones
letting us all battle this there's a new movie called eddington and it's really
cool it's like
this this sheriff in this town and he during the covid during covid and he has
to and blm and
everything he has to deal with all this stuff and he's the sheriff so he's like
the authority figure
and it's watching him lose authority over himself as he as it all falls apart
anyway i get very
animated i mean particularly with what's happening i don't tend to become
political or to talk politics um
but either kind of feels like it's just a joint thing do you feel like it is or
what do you think
i i do i i am not happy obviously i'm incredibly um just saddened by what's
happening in our city
right now i having spent many years in los angeles you mean yes sorry in los
angeles my city sorry
sorry uh having spent many years reporting on immigration are there criminals
who come across
absolutely are there people carrying drugs absolutely are the vast majority of
people coming because
they are under you know there's violence in their hometowns they're in
desperate situations nobody
would be making that very you know very few people i've done that journey parts
of that journey
you know whether it's the death train or the the darien gap i've you know i've
been on the border
right at the beginning of the darien gap which is the jungle that you know a
lot of people die trying
to make it and i've seen what it takes and i've spoken to these people and a
lot of them are mothers
and nothing moves a mother more than trying to provide a better you know life
for their kids for
their children if their children are endangered if they know that their kids
can go out on the streets
and be co-opted or killed by gangs and if they're not killed if they're not
joining the gangs i would
do anything exactly i have a child myself and i would do anything and a lot of
the stories that i hear
again and again they're not lies they're real stories of human beings that are
living in their horrible
situations are trying to do everything for a better life for themselves and
their kids so
i think when we start going out on the streets of la in these raids and you
know i know personally
people have been affected by this refuse you know people have lived there for
decades and are not
are afraid to leave their house yes they weren't born in the united states some
of them came here when
they were still kids some of them came when they were adults but have spent the
last 20 30 years
living paying taxes you know working very hard many hours a day and have done
nothing wrong yeah um and
being treated the way they're treated being handcuffed windows smashed in cars
to remove this mother with
the kid watching these are traumatizing events whatever happens to that adult
person these are this is
traumatizing for herself for the kids that are watching it's you know taking
away the the father of these
military members these are horrible it does it's it's beneath us it's just
beneath us i think one of the
lessons that i've been taught as uh when i was growing up is you should be
judged by the way you treat the
people uh that have less power than you do and not by the way you treat those
above you right yep and
i think we can put that directly on to that's a great statement you should be
judged judged by the
people who have less power than you do and that's how you treat them how you
treat them yeah and that's
our government yeah to me i i don't think this is a conspiracy theory i believe
that they knew they
wanted all this they want because they want this constant battle they want to
be able to have something
to kick ball back and forth we'll do it they'll fix it it's their fault they
because if they fix it then
they can't blame it on the other person exactly and that's the problem i think
with a lot of things
in this country and i agree it's like it's heartbreaking to see um families
separated like
that and it makes you question like well why do i get to be here you know i was
just born here
you know um and then you look at the native americans like well fucking they
didn't yeah they got
exactly and then who did they take it from aliens or somebody i don't know how
far back it goes you
know or mollusks or whatever right but for me it makes me certainly question
well what
you know to say this is mine you know um but at the same time you there has to
be like organized
bookkeeping of inventory and i don't mean i mean all of us is inventory to to
make it so that
everything can make sense and we could do all that if we want i believe that
they don't want to do it
at the top and i also think that i think that we're about to enter a
surveillance state right i was
talking with um sam altman out of the ai guy and i don't know if he knows or
not but he believes that
we'll be under surveillance will be a big part of things in the next few years
that's so scary but i
believe why a lot of this is happening now and it's painful to see it happen um
is because it's all going to be under surveillance soon so you couldn't even be
someone who's here
that's undocumented right they have to figure out all the paperwork now like
they have to figure out
what's in the shelves of our what's on the human shelves of our country so i
believe we're headed
there quick and so that's why i think some of this is all happening now because
in two years if you
even walked out of your house if you even showed up in a parking lot you were
here like undocumented
right um you or you're overstaying a visa if you showed up in a parking lot
there will be like it
is in london they will have like cameras and it will you will know pretty
quickly this person isn't
you know so i think that that's where we're headed and that's why that's
happening right and it is
heartbreaking though i think it's a political tool i do too and that's the
fucking sickest thing it's
like we all humans we're down here having this to have like yeah you know be
scared for
our neighbors scared for ourselves and those people are probably they right you
know they're
getting on horseback what the fuck are they you know but they're they're you
know they've sold a
bill of goods that this is their you know it's like yeah it's crazy and you
start to wonder who's
watching all this are we all just being live streamed somewhere yeah you know i
did a story once about
the flat earthers and of course crazy movement obviously i don't believe in any
of it but one of their
core beliefs again i do not believe it's not true the earth is not flat but one
of their core beliefs
is that is that we are being it's like the truman show we're being watched and
there is somebody kind
of watching well it does feel like it sometimes uh when you start to spin out a
little bit yeah it's
not let's let's say it again flat earth the earth is not flat so they don't
think there's any credence
for me bringing it up but no i don't look but nobody's but it does it just
feels it feels like
we're all being basically being we're pawns in the system right it does start
to feel like that yeah
and not in a way not in a conspiracy in my case i don't think it of it as a
conspiracy i think it's
like they have the power yes as a president to fix certain things and the
reason why certain things
are not being fixed is because it benefits them not to fix them yeah
so i think it's like i think it's going to be a little bit better and i think
it's going to be a little bit better
and i think it's going to be a little bit better and i think it's going to be a
little bit better
and i think it's going to be a little bit better and i think it's going to be a
little bit better
and i think it's going to be a little bit better and i think it's going to be a
little bit better
