As always, the hotline is 985-664-9503.
Let's take another call here.
Thank you. I just wanted to get your thoughts on a topic regarding what's going
on with the ICE raids down in L.A.
I was a victim of a sexual assault when I was in college, and I never got to go
to trial or any of that because I never reported it.
Thank you for sharing that.
I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing. Onward.
Anyways, I was just thinking about in this country how there's, I mean, I don't
know, at least 25,000 rape kits sitting in evidence lockers that are not tested.
And that while this is happening, people are being pulled from their families,
and that's what our country has decided to spend their money on.
Like, what do you think about that?
Like, do you really think that there is value in what our government is
choosing to do?
Do you think that the citizens of this country who have actually committed
crimes are better than people who have existed illegally?
You know, doing, picking fruit, like having families, like being good people.
Like, I know you love Mexicans.
I love Mexicans.
Like, they are, like, how matters all the whole food moms going to be when they
can't afford strawberries?
Like, this is hilarious to me.
Yeah.
I mean, there's a lot here.
Sorry.
There's a lot in this voicemail.
Yeah.
I love, I love Mexicans.
I would like to be Mexican next time.
I've prayed for that.
God knows that.
So, if something ever happens to me, please look out for me.
And if you see me in El Barrio, say, bienvenidos, Teodoro.
But, yeah, sorry to kind of joke, but you were kind of laughing there at the
end as well.
Yeah, I'm sorry about your sexual assault.
I don't, but let's talk about the ICE situation, you know, because I feel like
that was more the focal point of your call.
I think a lot of things on this.
So, one, I think a lot of what you see, not a lot, I would say, I bet half of
what you see, the videos and stuff out of Los Angeles are not real.
I think a lot of them are seeds that are planted to create conflict, right?
To create more videos, you know, caring people show up, caring for a cause,
they create more videos, and then there's all this extra videography.
But I believe that the, whatever you would call it, the Duralog, whatever
starts that, that that is kind of staged.
I feel like even a lot of the videos are probably staged.
I'm not saying all of them.
I'm not saying that deportations aren't happening.
I'm not saying any of that.
I just don't trust things that a lot of the stuff in Los Angeles, I believe
that a lot of things in our world are staged.
And then we see videos, and then we believe them, I believe them, you believe
them, we believe them.
Obviously, there's a lot of deportations going on.
It's sick when you see, like, children crying and people being taken from their
parents.
It's heartbreaking.
It's, you know, it's, it's, it's, anybody thinks that that's heartbreaking.
Now, there's also, in the country, there's, you know, you have rules, you have
laws, you have, like, these are the rules, right?
And some people are here, they're illegal.
They're illegal by the letter of the law, technically.
They're undocumented, right?
Now, 40% of people that are here illegally are Mexican, right?
60% are not.
We're just coming off a huge influx of people that were just led into the
country during the last political administration.
There's no, we've had border patrol agents on, it's, it's undeniable.
A lot of them are not even from Mexico.
A lot of them are not laborers that were just coming over for fruit season or
for farming season and then coming back.
A lot of them are not that.
So, you know, when Trump is a, he's heavy handed, that's who he is, right?
We've also had a, a, a broken system for a long time.
So when the hammer starts to come down or the guillotine is, this is, it's not
going to be comfortable.
And at first it's going to be messy.
It's, it's not going to be smooth.
And I think that, and I know Trump spoke the other day that there needs to be a
way.
And I believe wholeheartedly there needs to be a way where, um, people who are
productive citizens, uh, are allowed to get amnesty or, uh, create a path for
them to have citizenship.
I believe that undeniably, um, there's also people who are like, well, when,
when someone says that they shouldn't be in our country, right?
You hear that they shouldn't be in our country.
Well, you know, this, or this is our land, right?
This, I, I believe that, that our land is still, that America is still fully
entrenched by the ghosts of pain from what happened to Native American people.
I believe that, right?
I believe that the land doesn't forget.
I believe that.
I don't believe that we've made amends to those situations.
I think there's other situations in history that we haven't made amends to.
I believe that, um, at the same time, like I believe, and this is a bigger
belief that in a few years, there's this plan with, uh, it was spoken a few
weeks ago that, that Trump picked this company Palantir to create this digital
database, right?
This, to use like AI technologies, create this whole database of everything.
I had asked JD Vance about it, so I believe in a few years in America that
everywhere you go, there's going to be facial recognition.
They're going to be, there's just going to be all built into our society, right?
I mean, built in.
So, I don't think in a few years you would even be able to be in the country if
you're not supposed to be by law, right?
By the letter of the law.
I don't even think it's going to be possible.
I think that's where we're headed, and we're headed there quick, and I think
this is just one of the early stair steps you see of that, right?
Is the organization, the documentation, everybody, you have to know who's here.
You have to.
And I don't think, I think in a few years, it's, you're, it's not going to
matter.
The system will know, right?
I think it's Palantir is the company that's going to do it.
They've also been accused of a lot of dangerous stuff in Gaza.
Um...
But that's, that's the company that's, we're, we're going to be surveilling
basically ourselves, right?
We, as citizens, whoever we are, are going to be under surveillance in our own
country.
That's going to be bonkers, dude.
So, I believe that it's a bigger thing that, that these are the stairs, these
are the baby steps of it.
Is first, is you got to know who's here.
You got to figure everything out.
And, yeah, I, I, I agree.
The stuff's gross.
It's sick.
It's, it's heartbreaking.
Um, there's also people that have been in the country technically illegal,
right?
Like, by the letter of the law.
Whom, I don't know if over the years they've had the opportunity to figure that
out.
Is there, you know, have there been opportunities?
I don't know enough about it.
I'm not an, um, I don't know enough about immigration policy to know if they've
had,
where they could go to an office and get that figured out over the years.
I don't know.
I don't know what that's like.
I bet it's also miserable to be, like, living in the shadows.
And, like, worried all the time.
That this isn't going to be able to get figured out, or this won't be able to
be figured out.
And you also have to believe that different political parties, they will use
these things as kickball.
They'll use certain videos and stuff as kickballs to get us all to watch the
ball in the air, right?
And even though sometimes it's, some of the situations it's horrible, we're
watching the, you're watching the monkey juggle.
Meanwhile, the monkey's stealing all your shit.
The monkey gots all your bananas, baby.
You down fruitless.
You down bad.
Um, but prayers.
If a Mexican person needs to hide at my house, man, I'd be willing to discuss
it.
Fuck, I don't know if I should say that out loud or not.
Ugh.
But, I, yeah, I, I just, and sometimes people are like, you gotta speak about,
you gotta speak about this.
You, you, you, you speak what you feel you need to speak about.
Okay?
You, you speak what you think you need to speak about.
Because also, I don't sit there all day looking at everything, you know?
I don't sit there all day looking at every single thing and moment.
Some stuff I'm not even attuned to.
There's other genocides happening in the world that I don't even know about.
Right?
And that you don't even know about.
And that's okay, you know?
So, anyway, there's a lot going on there.
That's all I'm saying.
And I think this is all part of a bigger, this is, this is just the beginning
step.
This isn't, while we're all watching this, so many other things are going on.
And the crazy part about all of, of everything is, of everything, is that it's
always the same shit.
You look, it's always like, oh, here's a racial issue, here's a this issue,
here, and, and nothing ever changes, it feels like.
Nothing ever changes.
And that's sometimes I think maybe even with that Vance interview, I'd be like,
is anything gonna change?
Because if not, just tell us it's not, you know?
So, you know, I can go back to using and doing adult kickball or whatever.
Just tell, you know?
But, anyway, those are just some thoughts.
And I don't have any perfect answer for you.
And if you're coming to me for some perfect answer, go to yourself.
What is your thought?
What do you feel?
What do you know?
You a, you a magic guy?
You a wizard?
Then do wizard shit.
