These marijuana girls are either connected to Mexican cartels or high-level criminal organizations that also use human trafficking as they've used workers to work these girls.
On this girl, there are five Chinese nationals that were working this girl that are undocumented, don't speak any English, and are most likely were human trafficked here into the United States to work on these illegal grow-ups.
elijah schaffer
The situation at the border is out of control.
You probably saw the images, the videos that were taken by many fearless reporters exposing the reality of the human rights abuses that are happening every day as, you know, essentially hundreds of thousands of people are either illegally crossing, are trafficked, or just straight up get stuck at our southern border trying to get in.
And our government's response has been, what?
Let's just open up the border.
Let's let them in.
And then, of course, if they got separated from their family, let's pay them out an unspecified amount up to perhaps $450,000.
But what people don't talk about is the real danger and the real problems that are actually happening.
But there is one journalist who was brave enough to go down there, a good friend of mine who made one of the most insane documentaries that we're going to break down and expose the most insane things that are happening at the southern border, Jorge Ventura, or as I call him in White Speak, George.
Welcome back to Slightly Offensive.
jorge ventura
Hey, thank you for having me on, man.
I'm excited to be here.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, so first of all, you're not dead.
So obviously you survived this, but you had some pretty close calls there, didn't you?
jorge ventura
Yeah, and the just recent one too, Elijah, was about three, four weeks ago, I was in Yuma, Arizona.
We were reporting at an area called the Gap because there's literally like a gap of border wall.
And I was actually filming a human smuggler bringing a cartel member into the country and actually taking money.
And as soon as he saw me, he actually put his hand on his gun and started to threaten to shoot me.
And he was demanding to actually steal my phone.
He was saying in Spanish to put my phone on the floor.
And I think it was like a fight or flight moment.
And I just ran back to the U.S. side.
And I'm blessed that he didn't shoot.
Now, the good thing is, I took a screenshot of the video.
We blasted it on Twitter.
And Border Patrol, the Yuma Division, they had actually a whole meeting about it.
And they sent what they call Border TAC, which is like their tactical unit.
So they've been actually looking for that armed human smuggler right there.
elijah schaffer
Well, and we're also glad that you did not die.
I know that's a close call.
I saw that genuinely.
And you were in a lot of this stuff.
But, you know, obviously we have seen videos of what's going on in the border, but you decided to make a documentary.
And before we even look at the clips, what is the documentary actually about?
jorge ventura
So the title of the documentary is Cartelville, USA.
And what's actually pretty crazy is I've been reporting at the border since March, and I actually got to meet Congressman Mike Garcia, a Republican who represents District 25 back in North LA County.
So for folks who don't know, in North LA County, you got communities like Enela Valley, Palmdo, Acton, Neenak.
It's very desert rural.
It's away from the city.
So the people that live there are a lean more conservative.
And according to Garcia, he said, hey, the reason why I'm focused on the border right now is because all these drug cartels and human smuggling that's impacting my district.
And I was shocked because I grew up in Palm Death, lived there my whole life, and I couldn't believe it.
So Mr. Garcia, he actually gave me two town hall meetings to attend.
So a town hall meeting is where all these residents that are complaining about these cartels, they all attended.
And I got to hear the problem from them.
And essentially what's happening, Elijah, is like we literally do have drug cartels moving into our community.
So out there in the deserts, they're starting up an illegal marijuana operation.
Now, I know when people hear illegal marijuana, they think it's not a big deal.
And I get it.
They think that it's like just a Cheech and Chong characters out there just, you know, smoking dope and listening to Bob Marley, but they have no idea that is a whole criminal enterprise.
So it's these drug cartels moving in.
They're starting up illegal marijuana.
They're smuggling migrants from the border and forcing migrants to work on these girls.
So what we're seeing is labor trafficking.
We're seeing water theft because these guys are actually stealing the water from the communities.
We're seeing an environmental issue, but also the violence.
So our homicide rate has jumped up out there in the deserts.
LA County Sheriff will find bodies that have been shot and killed connected to these illegal marijuana grows.
So it's really changing and it's a situation that I think people don't realize that these cartels are officially in our backyards.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, and I was really actually amazed by the quality of this dock.
And I want to talk about this because I didn't know this was happening.
You know, again, it's not Cheech and Chang out there.
It's Enrique and Jose and they'll decapitate you if you get in the way.
So, you know, a little bit less enjoyable.
But before we jump into that, I do want to give a huge shout out to our sponsor for today.
So obviously the holidays are coming around.
Christmas is coming up.
And it's so important to get a gift to somebody that actually is quality and means something to them.
You know, we spend about a third of our lives sleeping.
And so that's why the best gift you can give someone is a perfect night's sleep with pure organic cotton sheets from Bull and Branch that make a truly special gift.
And they are honestly the highest quality gift that you can give that can actually directly change someone's life.
So besides boxers or maybe shoes, there's nothing that we're in contact with more that directly needs to be comfortable than our sheets.
Now, I've had cheap sheets that you wash them and they end up getting all like, they pill and they get gross, they wear out.
But I actually have Bull and Branch.
I have two sets and I have them in white.
They are so breathable.
Me and my wife sleep on them every night.
So I can definitely tell you they're amazing.
And what was so cool too, and I never get over this, is they come in such amazing packaging that it ends up making the perfect gift because it's so beautiful from the inside and out.
You feel the quality immediately.
You wash them.
They don't lose their color and they actually hold the threads and the threads don't pop out and they don't get gross.
And they all are at a fair price, which is absolutely amazing.
I love them and I know that you will as well.
And so I'm typically a hot sleeper.
These help me to actually have a cool sleep.
They actually get the heat outside of my body.
My wife tends to be a cool sleeper, but they keep her warm.
So you get that double team there where we can actually both get sheets that work for our bodies and what we love.
And you can get them too as well with their signature sheets that are 100% organic cotton, completely toxin-free and fair trade certified.
Treat yourself and your loved ones to a new standard embedding from Bull and Branch.
Their gifts come wrapped and ready in their special holiday packaging.
Order by December 19th for guaranteed delivery by Christmas.
The best deals of the year going on now from November 1st through November 11th with promo code offensive at bullandbranch.com.
That's B-O-L-L and Branch.com.
Promo code offensive.
Exclusions may apply.
So obviously you were not getting a comfortable night's sleep making this documentary.
Do you know how many bull and branch?
You made me had some balaclavas and some individuals with guns.
But you talk about the idea that there are these grow ops that are going on that we don't know about that are impacting communities.
And I want to play a clip from this because like you said, this is not just like small grow ops that, you know, some guy bought a house and is growing a few plants in his bedroom and we're just, you know, crying about it.
You know, the devil's lettuce.
This is a full-on criminal cartel.
And a sheriff that you spoke to explains just how much drugs we are actually dealing with in these bus.
Let's go ahead and let's play that clip.
unidentified
Was this number three for you guys?
Yeah.
As my little one would say, kabow!
Okay, guys.
jorge ventura
This is what is known as Operation Hammer Strike by San Bernardino County, where they have these marijuana teams working actively to take down these illegal grows that are really plaguing the communities, both in San Bernardino County and also LA County.
unidentified
Roughly two to three plants, depending on their height, can make a pound.
These should be one pound bags are plant count since they've already gone through it.
This one's sitting on 287 inside there.
One bag is worth anywhere from, I would say the product, the quality that we're seeing out there, it's $12 to $1,500 for one bag.
elijah schaffer
Let me ask you something.
Can you confirm that that bag didn't go home with you?
jorge ventura
No comment.
elijah schaffer
I love how the guy's talking.
He's like, Yeah, this can make one pound.
So, you're saying, So, you're telling me if I just happen to take three of these bags, you gotta hold three pounds of you're saying, okay, no, but but this is so crazy because obviously, people again, yeah, when you hear about this, you wonder why it's important.
I mean, when I'm looking at the images here and I'm understanding this, are these are sheriff, not DEA.
This is local sheriff, yeah.
jorge ventura
So, that's the San Bernardino County Sheriff.
They have a special unit of teams that just enforce and raid these cartel grow-ups.
So, in this clip, actually, Elijah, the raids that we're doing are actually grow-ops connected to the Chinese mafia.
So, we were actually running into Chinese nationals that are working these grow-ups that were smuggled through the border.
So, this is something, like I said, this is not Chichen Chong.
It's a real criminal enterprise.
We're seeing labor trafficking, human trafficking, human smuggling.
We actually seen some women and children on these grow-ups that are forced to live there.
So, the situation is dire.
And I think the big issue with this is that there's a misconception problem, meaning that if you just pull someone off the sidewalk in California and say, hey, man, did you know that we have kind of an illegal marijuana operation crisis?
People literally just like shrug their shoulders, like, okay, and like, you know, just because it's not meth or fennel, they don't, they don't, they don't know that, um, you know, there's a like I said, huge criminal enterprise and the violence that these guys bring.
So, during our documentary, we found out that there's three kind of criminal fractions that are involved in this.
So, it's the Mexican cartel connected to Sinaloa, it's the Chinese mafia, and it's also the Armenian crime organization.
So, those three groups are fighting for territory out there.
And right now, as of right now, Elijah, in LA County, over 500 illegal grow-ups.
The county right next door to us, San Bernardino, has over a thousand.
elijah schaffer
That is so insane.
Honestly, like when I look at this and I try to understand the depth of what's going on, because I've always just thinking of like, oh, marijuana is pot is legal, it people just smoke it, it's not like that big of a deal.
But obviously, these people have taken advantage of the higher prices probably from the tax pot.
But the question is, are they selling this in dispensaries or is this like black market?
jorge ventura
So, they'll sell it to dispensaries, but that's like that, not their main thing.
Their main thing is just to ship it to the East Coast.
So, anytime they ship it to the East Coast, they could earn three times as much.
So, that's that's what we're seeing.
Um, but the dangerous thing, too, here, Elijah, is that a lot of these weed plants that you're going to see are actually sprayed with pesticides and chemicals.
So, even that weed that you're, if you get it from these guys, it's not even good weed because it has pesticides and chemicals all over.
And they do this so the animals out in the desert don't eat the grows.
But, um, unfortunately, these pesticides and chemicals actually reap into the soil and make their way into our riverbed.
And, Elijah, you know, coming from California, water is everything to us out there.
I mean, we're in a drought where I live in Palmville.
I can't even go over a certain like threshold, or we get like billed and tax heavier.
So, it's it's dire.
Like I said, these guys are stealing water.
Uh, it's an environmental problem, it's the violence.
And, like I said, we're literally seeing human smuggling, trafficking, labor trafficking all right here on American soil.
So, it's it's here, they're in our backyards.
And, like I said, just LA County has over 500 illegal grow-ups.
I think, and during our documentary, you're gonna see we discovered an illegal grow-up that was 10 acres long.
We're talking about million-dollar operations.
You would have thought that Jeff Bezos and Amazon was running the operation.
That's how large it was.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, I was gonna say, you know, in California, we pray for more water, and all God gives us is Mexicans.
They just keep coming, and the water stops, and the illegals don't.
The flow continues forever.
And on that note, I want to get into this more and just say, Welcome back to Slightly Offensive.
This is the best worst show on Blaze TV where we always have confetti of color.
And we are talking about the new documentary with George Ventura that we're going to get into in depth.
We also have some other things we're going to talk about as well.
George Ventura is visiting from the Daily Caller.
And if you want to check out this movie before we talk about it, where can they find the movie in case they just want to skip this and go straight to the film?
jorge ventura
So, two ways to find it: one, you could just go on dailycaller.com and it's going to redirect you to the website.
But we have our own website for the documentary, so it's carteldoc.com, carteldoc.com.
You're going to see the trailer there.
So if you want to send it to family and friends, send them the trailer, but the full documentary is there.
And so far, we're getting some really, really great reviews.
On Saturday, actually, I woke up to a missed call from Florida.
And when I called it back, Congressman Matt Gates actually saw the documentary and is now in talks with Congressman Mike Garcia in California just to see what they could do just to even help out.
So we're getting some great feedback on it.
We're opening people's eyes.
And I'm really glad you guys had me on just to get it out there because, like I said, people think that it's Xichen Chun.
It's not.
And, you know, when people talk about, oh, well, you know, the border crisis, it doesn't really impact this.
This is 300 miles away from the border.
This is not San Diego.
And these cartels are here.
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
And that's why I want to break this down because people are not talking about this.
So you explained something interesting earlier.
And I do want to break this down.
People think that the trafficking and everything is simply just Mexican cartels and its gangs.
You spoke to a sheriff, though, who's explaining about how Chinese nationals, you mentioned this earlier, are actually a huge part of this trafficking.
So this is a globalist and a global movement.
This is not just Mexicans.
This is beyond that.
This is so organized.
I didn't know that the Chinese were involved in this.
Let's listen to what the sheriff had to say.
unidentified
Pretty common.
Majority of our grows we see are Mexican national and Chinese national.
Their whole purpose to come here was just to tend for the grow and then it helps cover their costs for whoever brought them over.
Okay, so those are five Chinese nationals.
I would say 90, 95% of the time, the people that are here tending to them are undocumented.
If it's ran from a drug trafficking organization, the most common in our area are the Mexican national Chinese nationals.
We are starting to see Armenian come in the area, but very small right now.
Yeah, they'll work off their debt.
They could be here a year.
They could be here six months.
Depends how much they.
elijah schaffer
So here's the thing.
I guess when you come over to the United States from China, you can either give back massage with happy ending or you can traffic pot.
I mean, really, I didn't know this was like a common thing.
Totally, dude.
I told, I told Kez we went and got massages so bad this massage parlor.
I said, we literally just got a massage at a hand job factory because I swear, like, nobody is going to that place for a massage because I've got the worst massage ever.
And there was like a big line.
And I'm like, I hope that person washed their hands.
But I, but I was, I was weirded out that nobody at the massage place, like, they didn't speak English, like a lick of English.
And I'm going, and they have all these signs like, oh, we're against human trafficking.
And I'm going, this is, there's got to be some sort of, this got to be a front for something, right?
Like, this has got to.
So my question is with the Chinese nationals, how are they, are they getting these people in through the southern border?
How are they getting them in here?
jorge ventura
Yeah, so they're smuggling these Chinese nationals through the southern border.
So the same way that the Chinese make the fentanyl in Mexico and then traffic the fentanyl, same way.
It's just now that they have humans.
So now they're sending their own Chinese migrants.
And the thing is, we've been reporting in Yuma, Arizona, and I've met some of these Chinese nationals that get smuggled in.
So yeah, people, like I said, people don't have any idea about this.
And the same way that the fentanyl comes in is the same way that these Chinese migrants are coming in.
The sad part, really, Elijah, is that these folks are working off of debt with criminal organizations.
So these guys are essentially, you're essentially seeing slave labor on American soil.
So yeah, these guys, as soon as they got arrested, I mean, they were crying and all that stuff.
But yeah, they're heavy.
Yeah, yeah.
They are being forced to work this grow-up.
And the thing is, these cartels arm these migrants.
So these migrants, if they get into, you know, a confrontation with another cartel, they, you know, they got to shoot and kill.
And even last year, LA Times reported there was a 26-year-old man from Guatemala that was smuggled in.
He ran away from the grow-up and was shot and killed.
And they found him out there buried in the desert.
elijah schaffer
And that's, and they're crying because they're probably just scared.
jorge ventura
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
And you're going to see it in the documentary.
Like the sheriff says, hey, these guys, these guys are like the very low, low level.
You know, the guys who are high up controlling this, I mean, they're not going to face any consequences.
I guess the other issue here too, Elijah, is the policy.
So Prop 64, it passed in 2016.
Prop 64, what it did, it legalized cannabis statewide, but it made illegal cultivation downgraded from what used to be a felony in California down to a misdemeanor.
So it essentially just opened up this floodgate.
So think about this, Elijah.
If you and me have an illegal growing operation in California, let's say we have 50,000 plants.
elijah schaffer
How do we do this?
jorge ventura
Well, we could set up in the middle of the middle.
elijah schaffer
Hypothetically, if we wanted to get rich off of weed, how do we do that?
jorge ventura
And it's easy.
So we would literally just drive out to the desert.
We would find some land.
We'll get the infrastructure there with hoop houses and everything.
And then we'll grow our weed.
So let's say me and Elijah had 50,000 plants.
And let's say we get raided.
And the worst thing that's going to happen to us, actually, Elijah, which is kind of a joke, is we're just going to get a $500 ticket, a misdemeanor.
elijah schaffer
Savannah, are you writing this down?
unidentified
I am taking notes on this, actually.
jorge ventura
So to be honest, it's almost like, why would we not do it?
If we can make hundreds of thousands, millions, thousands of dollars, and all we're going to get is a $500 ticket, we're actually stupid for not having an illegal grow-up.
elijah schaffer
No, I know this.
And Brandon's out there outside of the broom closet.
He used to do legal weed.
He used to sell it.
And it's really hard to turn a profit legally now at the competition.
So might as well just do it illegally.
jorge ventura
Exactly.
elijah schaffer
But not us.
But if we did do it, that's how we're doing it.
And it is interesting that you talk about Asians being trafficked and having a hard time and waiting to get out.
Obviously, now you understand how I hired Savannah.
I just literally, she's like crying every day.
She's like, no, that's just because she's a woman and she's working and she doesn't want to be.
But I, no, but I say, Savannah Hernandez, forgot to introduce you, host of the Rapid Fire podcast.
Welcome back on here as well.
You're looking good, Savannah.
unidentified
Thank you.
I'm so excited because we're on with my good friend Jorge.
He and I have been to the border before.
This man never misses.
You know, he'll stay out there all night to make sure he gets the story.
And yeah, we've, it's been crazy down there.
elijah schaffer
No, it, yeah, dude.
Absolutely.
I swear, it's been crazy.
And I've been watching you shifting this.
And what's interesting, people don't realize is beyond just being, you know, a movie and capturing this and really risking your life, you know, you and I have a long history of recording domestic conflict, right?
Throughout all of 2020 into early 2021, there's been massive domestic unrest here in the United States.
And you were like, I would say not famous for, but well, well known for courageous coverage.
And so it's interesting to me, though, over the years, how you switched from like the domestic conflict to seeing, and you told me this, like the biggest conflict and issue now is at our border.
Like, and that's what's happening.
And it's after Trump left, it's interesting to see how accelerated the chaos has become and how absolutely out of control things have gotten.
It makes me wonder, like, can any of these people, even the law enforcement, any of these, keep up with this at this level?
jorge ventura
Oh, absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
And the numbers just came in.
July and August were the first time ever in border patrol history.
We had back-to-back months with over 200,000 apprehensions.
The scary number about that, Elijah, is not, it doesn't even count the gotaways.
So the gotaways are the migrants that come into the country that we don't stop, we can't detect.
So the number is actually a lot higher.
It's the situation is so bad that Axios even put out a report saying one out of three unaccompanied children that get released into the United States, the government loses track of.
So now we're literally losing kids in the system.
Situation got so bad.
elijah schaffer
They didn't treat kids like my tax dollars.
Just losing them.
I have no idea where they're going.
jorge ventura
The situation got so bad that the DOJ, Department of Justice, is running an investigation on our own government to see if we are releasing unaccompanied minors to labor traffickers.
And that's what you're going to see there in a documentary.
What?
elijah schaffer
We don't know this.
Do you know what this reminds me of?
Like, whenever you hear the government doing things, Savannah, did you see that study that was like, we're going to start studying to see the long-term effects of the vaccine on the heart?
And then it was like, I read, I think it was Jesse Kelly that said, that's a good thing that we're doing this study before we roll it out to hundreds of millions of people around the world.
Like they're so backwards, the government.
And you look at this and they're always complaining like, oh, we want to treat people better.
Like trans rights matter.
You know, trans black lives matter.
What about these people?
Do their lives matter to you?
Because it looks like the way we're handling things that they're being taken advantage of.
jorge ventura
Oh, absolutely.
Then also, Elijah, I was on the ground in late September when those 15,000 Haitians came to Del Rio at once and they released 12,000 into the public.
And we were literally driving up to gas stations and Haitians were just waiting outside.
So we would like jump out the car and be like, hey, have you been tested for COVID-19 before being released into the public?
And they'd be like, no.
And I'm like, I thought we were in a so-called pandemic, but then they're releasing 12,000 Haitians.
Then a couple of days later, Secretary of Majorca comes out and says, oh, you know, those 12,000 Haitians we released?
We think like 20% of them are testing positive for COVID.
I'm like, oh, great.
Yeah, that's fantastic.
So yeah, our country right now is just headed backwards.
And yeah, it's just funny, right?
Like if you're an American citizen, you know, you work a job, you have to get the vaccine or you get fired.
But these migrants, you come in illegally, you get released into the United States.
No, you know, no mandate for them.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, I've always thought that's interesting too, that there's no mandate for these people for the vaccine.
And it's like, if there's anybody that probably would need vaccines, it would be random people from different countries like Haiti, by the way, Haiti, which is a shithole country.
It is.
It really is really, really horrible.
And it's a good place for the Clintons to traffic money and children.
But it makes you wonder with the amount of trafficking that's going on, like in all seriousness, it's like, why is this accelerating?
And it's interesting that I was saying about us having a history basically tracking the defund the police riots.
That's really what it was.
They weren't Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots.
It was a movement to defund the police.
And that's what they were trying to do across the country.
If you really think about it, it wasn't about black justice.
The ultimate cry of all these people was to disband and disarm the police.
And it seems like people are saying that that movement backfired and is to blame for part of this.
Let's listen to that.
unidentified
The defund police is the reason why these cartels are so emboldened.
We've come to the decision that things aren't going to change fast enough and probably not in our lifetime.
They don't feel threatened by our law enforcement.
I've made the decision.
We've made the decision that we're going to start looking for places to live.
So it seems like cartels are more powerful than the LA County.
And we're left to fend for ourselves here.
elijah schaffer
So these people don't have any faith anymore in our police system.
And they feel like the movement to defund the police has really hurt the police's ability to probably want to go out and enforce the law because they're going, well, people don't want us anyways.
People have quit in high numbers, including vaccine mandates.
People are being forced to choose between their jobs or their medical freedom.
And these people are saying like they're living in the United States, I'm presuming, saying we don't feel like our government can protect us in our own country.
jorge ventura
Absolutely.
And that's, I think, Elijah was probably like the sad thing about the documentary because we spend time with these working class citizens, folks that want to retire in the desert.
They put all their money into their home only for their community to be taken over by cartels.
And the police can't fight them off because there's just, there's too many that they fund the police movement very like it especially hurt at LA County because they needed as much money when it comes to fighting these illegal grow ups.
So LA County, they just did a, back in July, they did a 10-day raid of these girls.
I mean, just a 10-day raid cost the department $1 million.
So they don't have enough money to keep up with the fight.
And it's sad because at the end of the day, the people who suffer the most are the American citizens that are living in the midst of these drug wars in the desert.
And also the people that are being taken advantage of, which is these migrants when it comes to labor trafficking.
So everyone is losing on this.
And California is losing on this, meaning that all that weed, you're getting no tax revenue on it.
So right now, 80% of the marijuana coming out of California is all black markets.
So the state isn't seeing the revenue.
The violence has gone up.
Water theft.
I mean, it's insane that this is happening on American soil.
I mean, this stuff should be happening in a third world country.
Elijah, when you're out there, they literally have no go-zones for these people because they like, hey, we can't drive into this part of the community anymore because we're going to get threatened by these cartels.
So this is happening on American soil and the defund the police movement.
It always hurts working class people.
The people who push the defund the police, which is a lot of these white, rich liberals, they're good, man.
They got private security.
They're in a gated community.
So yeah, they're good.
But what about the rest of us?
What about these working-class citizens that are stuck in the middle of this?
Who's going to stick up for them?
Who's going to defend them?
elijah schaffer
No, and that's absolutely true.
And it's interesting, though, when I'm looking at this.
I'm trying to see if we have that.
It kind of strikes me as interesting that I feel that too in this country.
And it's like, I've lost hope in law enforcement and I've lost hope in that ability.
And that's why I do want to talk to you guys about the importance of protecting yourself and also by carrying a firearm on you, specifically with Northwest Retention.
I got to tell you guys something awesome.
Obviously, for all rights and purposes, this is not a real firearm and this is fake.
But my buddies in Northwest Retention have the best carrying system for all of my firearms.
So whether it's a side carry in a holster, a custom holster that has a lifetime warranty, all-American-made leather products, so beautifully conscripted, whether it's a concealed carrier like this, or it's like a sling for my AR.
I got to tell you the story.
So I went and spoke at an event, and I can't give a lot of details here because I am not going to say anything.
But I will tell you that I didn't hire security just once.
I usually hired security, but we have this new constitutional carry here in Texas.
So I decided to use my Northwest Retention concealed carrier and just go strapped.
And everyone's like, well, why do you need to be strapped?
Why do you need to be strapped?
Bro, and by the way, if you're watching the show, no, I'm sorry if this was you, but somebody came right up to me and told me they were sent by God and that they were like in a dream and that they had they alerted me to the Jared Leto death cult and that it's like a pedophile thing.
And then they like said they're going to show me something in their backpack and go to like reach in.
And I swear like I was this close to making like the best use of my Northwest Retention concealed carrier.
Like I was so happy I was armed because he ended up being a really cool guy, but it was such a forceful and kind of like frightening reaction knowing that I had a carrier that was keeping me safe.
It's priceless.
So if you want to have the best custom carriers in America, go to nwretention.com.
That's N-W-R-E-T-E-N-T-I-O-N.
You never know when you're going to need your firearm, but make sure that it's in the best carrier system.
Even check out their scout chest carrier.
We love the company.
We love the owner and literally the brand that I put and trust my life with right here.
So thank you at Northwest Retention.
Go to nwretention.com, promo code offensive for 10% off.
That's nwretention.com.
Promo code offensive for 10% off.
I was going to say, why aren't you strapped and carrying one of these when you're around?
You should just store a gun at my house.
jorge ventura
Actually, I was going to say too, Elijah, if you type in the promo code Alec Baldwin, you get an extra 30% off.
elijah schaffer
Alec Baldwin is for prop guns only.
Prop guns.
And if you have a real gun, it's NW Retention promo code offensive.
No prop guns allowed.
No, but I was just saying, like, genuinely, I know this is like the ad, not the ad, but like, I feel so much safer carrying a gun with me everywhere I go in my life.
Like, I feel so safe.
And I, that's why they'd want, they don't want us to have that protection.
Like, it's with the, with not trusting the police and whatnot.
Like, this is, again, this is not part of the ad, but like, legitimately speaking, this is an amazing, an amazing carrier.
And it's, it's comfortable.
And I carry a gun because I don't trust the police.
Like, these people are going, I don't think the police are able to help us anymore.
And it's up to you to be your own security.
I'm not telling people to go shoot people and be vigilantes, but like we saw with Kenosha, what's going on with Rittenhouse right now?
I mean, literally, the police are basically jack shit when it comes to actually being able to stop and mitigate crime.
It's so out of control.
jorge ventura
And the thing with me, Elijah, is I always got the, because I'm, you know, raised, raised in a Hispanic household, I always got the chancla on me, man.
So if anyone, yeah, so I just pull out the chankla and then boom.
So it's still some guy coming.
unidentified
Yeah.
jorge ventura
So it's still, the chancla is still working, um, working for me.
But no, I do need to get armed really soon, especially after running into those close altercations at the border.
So you need to move here to Texas.
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
You need to come here and you need to buy some firearms.
You need to carry firearms on you.
jorge ventura
You need to come and be a Texas boy.
elijah schaffer
In a Texas and Texas ploy.
I got my Texas Mexican.
jorge ventura
But Elijah, you went from full Californian in Hollywood to now full-blown Texans.
You got a gun.
When are you buying a horse, bro?
And the cowboy hat.
Where's that at?
elijah schaffer
Well, I don't know.
I could just, maybe I'll just buy a Chinese immigrant and feed him Ivermectin and then he'll become a horse.
Give Sav ivermectin and then she can become a horse.
jorge ventura
Elijah's trying to get his own show canceled.
elijah schaffer
No, we know.
unidentified
Pretty much.
That's what every show is, Jorge.
Every single show.
elijah schaffer
It's true.
jorge ventura
Sav has the hardest producer job in the world because of this guy.
elijah schaffer
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Shooting a show twice a week.
My plight.
elijah schaffer
Shooting a show twice a week.
Ah, what a burden of a job.
I wish I was a roofer, Sav says.
I wish I was, I wish I was a, yeah.
It's like, no, actually, this is, but it's true.
It is hot up here in the broom closet.
So she does have to put up with a lot.
Imagine having to work.
Imagine having to work for me.
That would not be a fun job.
jorge ventura
No, no.
I wouldn't want to work for me.
Yes.
Someone, please save Sav.
She's a migrant that's been trafficking here and she's being forced to work.
unidentified
Elijah actually got me from the border.
I'm being held here against my will.
Please help.
jorge ventura
Really quick, Elijah.
When I was at the border, Sav gave me a call, and it was the worst idea I ever heard in the world.
And she thought it was the greatest.
She told me to strap a GoPro on my forehead and go into the migrant facility.
unidentified
I said it to the camera.
I said it to the camera.
jorge ventura
Yeah, yes.
So I was like, oh my God.
unidentified
Walk in be like, I'm here for my new job.
elijah schaffer
Just be like, just tape your eyes back with a GoPro on your forehead and be like, just my grant here.
unidentified
No, I was telling Jorge always like, okay, hear me out, bro.
We get a hidden camera.
We get on a bus.
Border Patrol comes and picks us up.
We get two grid and a plane ticket.
I don't see how this could go wrong.
elijah schaffer
Sav is the first Asian that wanted to get trafficked.
I've heard of rape fantasies and women.
Trafficking fantasies.
Damn, girl.
unidentified
Hey, you did.
elijah schaffer
Hey, whatever you're doing.
unidentified
I'm trying to get the investigative news that I need to get, but I'm like, Jorge, I don't speak Spanish, so I got to learn that.
And then, and then catch me on a bus.
Catch me on a bus.
elijah schaffer
Catch me on a bus.
jorge ventura
Just catch me in the facility.
unidentified
Hello, my name is Jorge.
jorge ventura
My name is Jorge.
elijah schaffer
I'm in there too.
They're like, something's wrong here.
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
I'm from Haiti.
jorge ventura
One of my favorite riot moments was when Elijah was covering a riot.
I forgot, you know, what city we're in, Seattle, Portland.
And Elijah puts on a Mexican flag as a bandana face mask.
And I'm just like, why?
Why is this white guy just doing this?
elijah schaffer
Because they're going to think that I like it.
unidentified
He's just out there standing in support, bro.
elijah schaffer
The writers are so stupid that it literally takes just like waving a trans flag for them to be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is one of us.
jorge ventura
Yep.
Hey, Elijah, don't you love it too?
During this Rittenhouse trial, Richie gave out his kind of secret kind of plan when he's out there, which is like, and I love this because it's like one of the best tactics I've ever seen.
But Richie, when he's out on the ground with us, he's always giving rioters like white claws and cigarettes and just like just drinking with him, just vibing.
And it's like, it was, it was hilarious.
Like that, that came out during the Rittenhouse trial.
You know what?
elijah schaffer
It really did.
And I was thinking of this time, not to like totally derail this, but I was laughing because I said that it worked.
One time I was in Portland in front of the courthouse with a bunch of Antifa with my mask, my gas mask up, drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette at a riot.
And we were talking about me, but they didn't know it was me.
And they're like, yeah, like the people here.
And I was like, oh, like Elijah, yeah, I heard he's here.
And we're like just shit talking me together.
Why was like tear gas?
And I just thought it was the funniest thing because I'm going, these people literally like, I'm just, and I did it because they had already gotten doxed.
So I decided to just like, how, what's, I decided to start drinking a beer.
And it was like a very interesting situation because it's like, these people are so out of touch with reality that you just drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette makes them think like, well, couldn't be him.
unidentified
No, I love it how they're like, oh, yeah, you match the exact height and skin color and description of Elijah Schaefer.
And you're like, that's not me, bro.
And they're like, okay, cool.
elijah schaffer
Would Elijah have a Mexican flag band now?
unidentified
No.
elijah schaffer
Everyone knows Elijah.
jorge ventura
But no, man.
Shout out to, yeah, shout out to Richie on that one.
elijah schaffer
That's a fun one.
jorge ventura
Hilarious tactics and it works.
Anyone who knows Richie too, he has the rioter vibe, you know, kind of like laid back, kind of like, yo, I'm just here, man, kicking me against the system.
elijah schaffer
So gets actually front page for the rioter by the New York Times.
jorge ventura
Oh, my God.
elijah schaffer
He had to retract that one.
jorge ventura
Yeah, it was a famous photo where like Richie's like fingers like through the little broken glass.
And he's just, the thing is, Richie just looks like a hippie.
I remember one.
There was a, there were, it was a, there was a protest before the, for the J6.
It was, um, I forgot what it was, it was called, but it was a, you know, Trump had a bunch of people come out and Richie, I run into Richie during this kind of riot, and Richie's literally on a beach bike with no shirt and sandals on.
unidentified
Or hey, it was the Million MAGA Marshals because you and I were there, and then Richie started getting his ass beat by the proud boys, and we were like, we don't know him yet.
Yeah, yeah.
jorge ventura
We were like, Richie, only Richie in the middle of a riot has a beach bike and like no shirt.
unidentified
Oh, such a hat!
jorge ventura
Just such a hippie.
I'm like, yeah, yeah.
Thank you for that.
unidentified
The problem is they're out for blood too.
And so as soon as they saw this like chill ass man with long hair, no shirt, they were like, that's the one.
Get him.
And we were like, Richie, run, bro.
You need to run.
jorge ventura
Yeah, you have no idea.
He's the video director at the Daily Call.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, he'll just go unmasked.
Like, I just see him.
He's just walking around with his hair back.
unidentified
Damn.
elijah schaffer
Drinking a beer.
jorge ventura
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
He's always like, hey, man, you want a beer?
And I'm always like, this is a weird time, but sure.
Like, you know, like, this is, it's strange.
Like, there's a lot of tear gas.
There's rubber bullets.
And he's just like, yo, bro.
Like, you know, I'm like, oh, coffee.
It's like, hey, man, do you need a cigarette?
Didn't it a cigarette?
And I'm like, yeah, whatever.
So here's the interesting thing.
So I want to talk about this, though.
Some of the bigger things about human trafficking.
So one thing that you brought up is how organized all this is.
And I think it might just be B-roll.
But I saw you were the one who was talking about this, about these bracelets and about how there are these identifiers and how this is not just, you know, people like looking for a better life happening to find their way over a border.
Like this is an entirely organized criminal enterprise where they, it looks like they're about to go to Astro World, both deadly.
But I mean, like, seriously, what is this?
A Travis Scott concert?
jorge ventura
It might be worse, but basically what we're seeing here, Elijah, is that, you know, for these migrants to cross into the U.S. illegally, this is actually in Roma, Texas, where they come in these kind of rafts, little boats.
So they need to purchase their weights across.
So the proof of purchase is that bracelet.
So basically, if you and me go to a football game, obviously, you know, we buy a ticket.
That's our mission in.
That's their mission into the United States.
So it's showing you that these cartels treat people almost like Amazon products.
And on those black bracelets, it's going to have the Spanish word entregas, meaning delivered.
And I think one of the scary things during one of those nights that we were at there, Elijah, is some of the men that are bringing these kids over, and you know they're not their dad.
It's just that right there is the eerie of like seeing these adults who are claiming these people as their kids, and you damn well know they're not.
And that's just like a weird, it's just a weird situation to see a kid being human smuggled and traffic, like in you know, real time.
And you know, we interview them, like we say, hey, where's your where's your mom and dad?
They're like, they're back in El Salvador, they're back in Guatemala, back in everybody.
elijah schaffer
And this is you speaking in Spanish.
People know you're fluent in Spanish.
jorge ventura
And I said, I'm like, so you guys came alone?
They're like, yeah, look right here in that clip.
So this is a scary thing, Elijah.
Those are two brothers and one sister, all under the age of 13.
Remember how I said earlier, Elijah, that Axios put out a report one out of three unaccompanied minors that get released in the United States, we're going to lose track of?
Look at that.
That was a sister and two brothers.
They don't know it, but one of them is going to get lost into the system here in the United States.
I think that's the very sad part.
But there you see those bracelets that these human smugglers put on them.
Literally, like I said, treating them like an Amazon product.
And I'm blessed that we were able to be there because when we got all this video footage and we put it out to the world, I mean, American eyes are hopefully waking up to the problem.
Like, look, look, this is happening every single night at our southern border.
As you and me are talking right now, Elijah, migrants are being sex trafficked, human smuggled into the country in record, record numbers.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, and this is what's so insane is that, you know, even though we are able to enjoy our lives, like these people are actually in many ways victims because they are, this is not, again, just climate refugees trying to seek the border.
These are people who are being caught into a system of criminal enterprise.
And as we leave the border open and as we allow this to occur, we're actually letting criminals who let these people die en masse every year who rape them, who molest them.
I mean, like, this is a serious thing.
jorge ventura
There's a thing, Elijah, in the border, it's called a rape tree.
And what a rape tree is, is what these smugglers do is they'll rape these migrant women and they'll hang up their bras and panties on the tree.
Almost like almost them celebrating and almost showing Border Patrol, like, what are you going to do about this?
So there's, you know, we found out that out.
It's just, it's a dark, dark world.
And I think it's appropriate, Elijah, to call it a humanitarian crisis.
And I think a lot of Americans, when they think humanitarian, they think, oh, well, that happens in Yemen.
That happens in Africa.
It doesn't happen here.
It's happening here.
And we should not be okay with it.
I interviewed Brian Babbin, which is a congressman here in Texas, who got access to one of these migrant facilities.
He tells me that these rooms are made for like 50 people and they're stacking like 600 in each of them.
Even NBC News, obviously liberal mainstream, but even NBC News put out a report two months ago saying that there are reports of these migrants getting sexually assaulted in these facilities.
And, you know, where's AOC now?
Where's all those Democrats?
You know, it's crazy.
And the sad thing, Elijah, is, you know, the Democratic Party, they say that they care about black and brown lives.
Who do you think this is impacting the most?
Black and brown people.
And this is sad.
Like all these kids that are all by themselves and they don't even know that they're going to get lost into a system here in the United States.
We've failed these people.
elijah schaffer
Well, and you know what's interesting though?
And I kind of want to know this.
I don't know if you can leave this on the screen, but there was that young boy for our blind viewers.
Remember, this is an audio-only podcast, and you can download the audio on Spotify and Google Play and on Apple Podcasts.
It really helps us out.
And we'll read a couple of reviews at the end.
But because you guys, some of you guys are our blind viewers and you're not seeing this.
It strikes me as interesting that like a couple of these young boys, and especially that one in the orange, they have nice haircuts.
Like their hair is chromed.
Like these are not, this is what I don't understand.
And I need you to help me with this.
And he's wearing a nice, he's wearing nice clothes.
Like, shoot, like, he has nicer clothes than us.
unidentified
I know Nez is wearing Nike out here.
jorge ventura
No, maybe you should.
elijah schaffer
Maybe now we know why you wanted to get purposely trafficked.
It's like you wanted some new clothes.
No, but yeah, it's like they're wearing nice clothes.
So like, are these poor people coming here?
Like, what is going on?
Because I'm saying, like, he's dressed nicely.
He's got a fade.
Like, that's not, that's not important.
Hey, like, you know, like, this is, that looks like, and he looks like a white kid, like Argentina or something.
unidentified
And weren't you saying too that they were using QR codes?
This might have been you.
They were using QR codes to organize at the border as well.
And don't you need a phone for that or a computer for that?
jorge ventura
Yeah, so the crazy thing is, Elijah, is the caravan that's actually coming, I mean, our way literally right now, it organized down in Mexico in a city called Tapachula.
And you could literally go on Facebook and with a QR code, register for the caravan.
So another little issue that I think we need to kind of talk about is Facebook.
Facebook allows human trafficking and human smuggling.
I mean, they literally promote it.
They allow these groups to be up.
There's a tech watchdog group that did an investigation on Facebook, found 50 pages connected to human trafficking and human smuggling.
So Elijah, you and me cannot have the wrong opinion on politics because we get banned on Facebook, but we could smuggle migrants in.
So we should be coming after Facebook.
Facebook is playing a huge role.
And the thing is, after we exposed the QR codes, Facebook didn't even take the group down.
It's like they don't even care.
So they encourage human smuggling and human traffickers.
And think about this.
If you're in the cartoon or you are a human smuggler, you could literally get free advertising on Facebook.
You literally have a social media platform that allows you to do it.
So it's a complete joke because, like I said, you could get banned or censored by saying the wrong thing about the, you know, about the V-word, but you could traffic migrants all day.
I guess Facebook doesn't care about that.
They don't care about black and brown lives.
elijah schaffer
No, they don't.
And that is interesting, though, because obviously Facebook gets a lot of pressure for a lot of things.
And I find it so weird on these social media sites that, like, for instance, on Twitter, you know, the Taliban can be.
But then, you know, the president of the United States can't.
And I find it so odd, though, as somebody who's lost a lot of my platforms and used a lot of legal ways to get them back, how strict these people act when you hold somewhat of a right of center view on anything.
But then it's like when you do something crazy where you would expect them to be really focusing their efforts, like stopping human trafficking on their websites, they don't seem to really care.
I don't get that.
jorge ventura
Yeah, like I said, we live in a crazy world.
Remember after J6, they took down Parlor.
And then the research found out that all the organization happened on Facebook.
So these guys never get hit for anything.
So that's, like I said, that's another big topic that we need to kind of get out there and pressure our politicians.
Say, what are you going to do about this?
People could get human trafficking and human smuggling literally on Facebook and these cartels now get free advertising on one of the biggest social media platforms.
It sounds like I'm laughing because it sounds like a joke.
We live in, like I said, like almost an upside-down world.
But yeah, QR code.
Elijah, you and me could register for the caravan.
Let's head down there, buddy.
elijah schaffer
I'm down there.
unidentified
Jorge, the plan is back in action.
The plan is back in action.
elijah schaffer
Do you want to get Nike's?
jorge ventura
We're going to send Sav down there.
unidentified
The plan is back in action.
Be like, yeah, I registered via QR code on my iPhone.
I also don't speak Spanish because I immigrate.
elijah schaffer
I just have a picture of Gary Franchie Vegas as my background.
He really does.
I really do.
unidentified
Yeah, he really does.
He really does.
elijah schaffer
That was a like serious.
No, but honestly, it is interesting.
I do know some people doing some good work on those caravans, which will probably be out within the year, and then it's going to be really epic as well.
But, you know, with you discussing how this actually affects people, it is interesting with the tech companies.
Like, Savannah is off Twitter, but her show, her producer, started a show page on Twitter, which is really cool.
That's not managed by Savannah.
So that's really good because you wouldn't want to evade that.
But you still can find her show page for rapid-fire podcasts on there.
But it is interesting, like Savannah, they take her off, but maybe all Savannah needs to do is just become, again, an illegal immigrant.
She might get her accounts back.
jorge ventura
Yeah, come on, Sav.
unidentified
Let's send you down to my citizenships.
Let's send Sav to the caravan.
jorge ventura
Yeah, let's send Sav down there to the caravan, register QR code.
She will get all her social media back.
And also, Sav, when you come in, you're going to get potentially a fat check from the caravan.
unidentified
That's what I'm saying.
I don't see that.
elijah schaffer
She's got a resignation.
It's like, I got 400 grand, baby.
unidentified
No, I was on board for all of this until you said rape tree.
And then I was like, ooh, okay.
Maybe we were that part.
elijah schaffer
I have an immigrant fantasy, not a rape fantasy.
Sorry.
unidentified
No, thanks.
Oh, my God.
jorge ventura
Oh, my God.
unidentified
I know.
elijah schaffer
If you see a training bra on a tree, that's not good.
That is not good, Savannah.
We do not want that to happen to you.
I'm so sorry.
unidentified
Thank you.
elijah schaffer
Thank you.
I would be so sad if Savannah, that's why I don't want anything to happen to you because I literally would die.
If anything bad actually happened to you and you did something like that, I would like, I would go to the ground.
I would say that's the same thing.
Sav is holding this show.
jorge ventura
She's literally saving this show.
unidentified
She covered it for one week and it was bad.
I'm so sorry.
I can never leave again.
jorge ventura
This guy, Elijah.
Yeah, Sav is holding the foundation of this.
elijah schaffer
And literally, and literally, if you actually see the set and how bad it is, Sav's literally holding the foundation of the physical room.
unidentified
I'm actually holding Elijah's microphone cord over here to make sure it's like staying.
elijah schaffer
Go full screen.
Go full screen.
It's still a mess.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
elijah schaffer
Hold up.
I'll put that back in the middle.
unidentified
Can I just shout out to everyone who supports us?
That's what you're funding.
Shout out to you guys.
Thank you so much.
elijah schaffer
I know.
unidentified
I know.
elijah schaffer
And you know, and speaking of funding that, did you know that the average American can fund their life better and has 97 points they can add to their credit score and have no idea how they can actually get them?
Well, Scoremaster is the new credit science that super boosts your credit score.

You got to refinance.
But if you've got gone to Scoremaster first and raise your credit score just the average of 61 points our listeners get, you could have saved nine grand on your car alone.
Literally, it pays to play.
And if you'd gotten to Scoremaster before applying for a home loan and raise your score just that average 61 points, our listeners get, you could have saved yourself almost 100 grand over the life of your loan.
Hell yeah.
I'm talking about good savings.

And I'm telling you, I got my score up and I refinanced my student loans from like 10% to like 2% and I'm going down.
jorge ventura
You get that.
You got that white guy credit.
So I need to get on that, Elijah.
Is this going to help me get white guy credit?
I need white people credit.
elijah schaffer
I have perfect credit.
jorge ventura
Me and Sav are shrugging out here.
We're trying to get the whole thing.
elijah schaffer
Do you have good credit, Sav?
Do you have good credit?
unidentified
I actually have amazing credit because my dad started my credit when I was 16.
So shout out to dad.
jorge ventura
Shout out to dad.
Dad always knows best.
unidentified
Exactly.
elijah schaffer
I know.
I came in and she was like, what's going on with your hair?
jorge ventura
It's like, my, my, bro.
elijah schaffer
This is my hair is your credit score.
It's there.
unidentified
That's actually true.
elijah schaffer
It's there, but kind of all over the place.
jorge ventura
It's true.
That is, that's true.
So, yeah, I'm going to sign up, guys.
I'm going to get that white guy credit.
unidentified
Scoremaster.
61 points.
jorge ventura
Slash white guy credit.
Slash offense.
elijah schaffer
Can I tell you this, though?
jorge ventura
Like, promo code ball.
elijah schaffer
Can I say this, though?
Yeah, hanging out with right-wing people is like something.
This is another little side note if you made it this far on the podcast.
We are going to get back to the border stuff.
But if you made it this far, so this isn't a truthful statement.
Hanging out with right-wing people is so much more fun than left-wing people because we don't get offended and we just like get kind of like rowdy and hang out.
And like, we just, we get that Elijah calls me off camera.
jorge ventura
That's all I'm going to do.
Yeah, no, for you.
unidentified
Same, boy.
elijah schaffer
And same.
And same.
unidentified
No, I have like a list for HR in my phone.
Like, don't cross me and lie.
Don't cross me.
I have all this.
jorge ventura
I literally call Elijah and you'd be like, what's up, my Mexican?
unidentified
No, okay, Passo.
Literally.
elijah schaffer
Literally, if you ever come out, you're gonna find out that she got accidentally like she finally volunteered for that trafficking gig.
She wanted cross me again.
I'm gonna call your traffickers.
unidentified
They're gonna come pick you up.
jorge ventura
Like, something super serious, and he just answers.
What's up, boy?
elijah schaffer
I'm like, I've never said anything like that.
I've never said that.
jorge ventura
You say you say some words me on the way.
I'm like, I'm not gonna say that.
unidentified
Elijah Schaefer, he would never.
elijah schaffer
My favorite thing is, though, is that all my all my like, what's it called?
The POCs, my Latinks, call me the N-word.
And I appreciate it.
Y'all call me the N-word, and I love it.
Being called the N-word as a white guy is like a rite of passage.
It's like, my people.
Wait, wait.
jorge ventura
Yeah, yeah.
No, like, I think it was a couple of weeks ago when Elijah took a picture with Zubi and he puts like, black people love me.
unidentified
Dude, and I was like, that was your immediate response for the caption.
Elijah's like, I don't see race, but also black people love me.
Black people love me.
elijah schaffer
Oh, I see race.
I definitely see it.
unidentified
Oh, we know, honey.
We know.
He actually makes me position the boxes from like lightest to darkest.
So I'm sorry.
I feel like I'm not sure.
elijah schaffer
It's like a great dude.
Literally, Dorge is so Mexican.
He's even shorter in his box.
That's so true, dude.
Hola Alma.
Hello.
unidentified
No, Mr. Superman, no here.
elijah schaffer
No, what I was going to say is like, that's actually one of the side notes of the fun part of knowing right-wing people is like, it's just people are not offended, and it's just one of the funnest friend groups.
You can literally talk about whatever.
And you just, even if you don't know something, people don't get offended.
And there's nothing better than not having to care about people's emotions.
It kind of sounds vindictive, like that, but it's also true.
Like we're all really thick skin in the right-wing.
unidentified
We're essentially living in the early 90s and early 2000s.
elijah schaffer
Literally, we're still in 1993 and our friend groups do should not be recorded.
Like when we all hang out, our conversations should not be recorded.
jorge ventura
No, no, no.
We would be recording.
elijah schaffer
Show the world.
I don't give a damn.
Literally, I'll be like, yeah, that's me, buddy.
That's funny.
unidentified
Haha.
jorge ventura
Yeah, look, I was raised on South Park.
So it's like, I have that type of humor where it's like super sarcastic.
Always want to say something that is.
elijah schaffer
Family guy, all that stuff.
jorge ventura
Yeah, all that stuff.
elijah schaffer
I have that humor, too.
I love offensive humor.
jorge ventura
Who would have known?
elijah schaffer
I should start a show about that.
jorge ventura
Ah, maybe call it slightly offensive.
elijah schaffer
Slightly, slightly offensive.
jorge ventura
My name is Slightly Offensive.
elijah schaffer
How funny.
jorge ventura
Hey, how funny, bro.
My next, like, next hit on mainstream with like Fox will be like, imagine that.
elijah schaffer
Daily Caller's Jorge Ventura.
unidentified
And he's like, oh, wait, that's actually my, that's my deal.
I just came across border here.
I don't know what's going on.
Here I am.
Speaking.
I like how he has to go like this to do the voice.
elijah schaffer
No, it's like this, but it's like, it's like what it's like.
It's like, hola, amigo.
unidentified
Yeah, he needs, all you're missing is like the one button right here.
jorge ventura
Oh, there you go.
unidentified
Yeah.
That's it.
And a wife beater.
elijah schaffer
All right.
Well, I do tell you this.
So if you guys haven't watched, Jorge has been on my other show as well.
You were here last night and tonight as well.
And so he's been on these these couple days.
And so make sure you go watch it.
Make sure you subscribe to that show as well.
Help us get to 100K.
We're almost at 100K.
We need your help to get there.
And you got to subscribe to this channel.
If you're not subscribed to this channel, I don't know what you're doing.
But I want to talk about this other aspect that is really interesting to me.
So like, obviously, we love racist humor and jokes on this show.
And we really are all lighthearted.
But it's interesting because from being down there, people automatically assume that the border does just mean like Mexicans.
That's why we're joking.
But we saw the Chinese.
And what people aren't talking about, not only is it with Chinese, but it's also Haitians.
And I know we have this B-roll here of Haitians at the border.
I think it's going to shock people who aren't walking, like, who aren't up to date about the amount of black people that are trafficked at the border.
Like, when did this start happening?
Because I feel like I don't remember this as a kid.
Were they not showing us the pictures?
Essentially, it's new.
jorge ventura
Essentially, what happened, Elijah, that the reason why we even have the border crisis and where we are, where we are with this is when Biden came in, they removed on day one with an executive order, remove the remain in Mexico policy.
That right there opened up the floodgates, meaning that, like, if I crossed into the country illegally and I was going to seek asylum under Trump, Trump's like, okay, you could do that, but you're not going to wait in the U.S. You're going to wait in Mexico.
And when I speak to Border Patrol, this is a good policy because even if we give these people a court date, only 13% of the time they even come to their court date.
So they're already in the United States.
So under Trump, he puts the Remain in Mexico policy.
And then the migrants were like, well, why would we pay the cartels, be human smuggled, and go through this dangerous journey only to be told to wait in Mexico?
So that's why illegal immigration really went under under with Trump, just off the Remain in Mexico policy.
But Biden came in day one, removed it, and now we see all these nationalities.
The thing is, too, here, Elijah, I was actually in this part called Yuma.
I was meeting migrants from Ubekistan.
I didn't even know Ubekistan was a country.
I'm just going to keep it 100.
I was meeting migrants, meeting migrants from Uzbekistan, from Romania, from Georgia, all the way from India, crossing through Yuma.
So they're coming from all over the world right there.
We were meeting, like I said, migrants from Yemen, even in the Yuma, Arizona sector.
So Remain in Mexico policy, Biden needs to reinstall that.
But obviously, they have no urgency to fix this issue.
elijah schaffer
Yeah, and it is interesting.
It's like, oh, look in the green.
You see, this is Saab.
unidentified
Has my plan worked?
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
She's like, you see where the pair of Nikes in a suitcase?
But like, it is.
jorge ventura
Look at Saab.
She got a whole new man.
unidentified
That's a whole look.
Don't result.
elijah schaffer
I do want to say this.
In the light of this, I don't know how we always end up laughing.
I know.
It's the saddest thing ever.
But it is crazy that these policies directly, you would say this on camera.
I mean, you're in front of America speaking that directly related to Biden's policies, you can correlate the amount of migrants that are coming over and illegals that are crossing.
jorge ventura
Absolutely.
Because Elijah, now, why wouldn't they come?
Because now you don't have to remain in Mexico.
And the Biden administration is releasing these migrants into the U.S.
So it's like, if you're a migrant back in Mexico or Central America and you're watching what's going on, the time to come is now.
And these cartels and human smuggling groups, they're putting out that signal and said, hey, guys, come now because you're going to get released into the United States.
You're not going to get deported.
And so far, they're right.
I mean, I would hate, you know, I wish it wasn't, but they're right.
Even with the 12,000 Haitians, the 12,000 Haitians got released into the U.S.
I mean, yeah, they deported some single males, but 12,000 got released.
So if you're a migrant and you see that, you're like, oh, why would I not come?
This is the time.
And you're going to see it too, Elijah, in some of our past coverage.
I literally interview migrants.
Like, are you coming right now?
Because Trump's not in office.
They're like, oh, absolutely.
They're like, under Trump, we would never even attempt to.
So there you go.
elijah schaffer
No, and I know.
And it is interesting, though, because obviously I only have a limited amount of stuff here.
But what is it?
What's something that we didn't talk about about the documentary and what you saw that you want people to know?
Like, what is an interesting thing or something that we didn't cover that I missed?
Because obviously there's so much more in this documentary that people need to see.
That's why they need to go watch it.
And so it's like, what is another interesting thing that we didn't happen to cover?
jorge ventura
So we covered pretty much all of it, but there's going to be some different aspects.
So I think one of the interesting aspects that people are going to find is how the real estate industry kind of plays a little bit of a role because these real estate agents sell to the cartel.
Another thing I know we talked about a little, but really, guys, the water theft is a huge thing in California.
So every single day that these illegal marijuana operations are operating, between 3 million to 9.6 million water gallons are being wasted on these girls.
So water, environment, like I said, the real estate aspect, I think that people are going to find really interesting because these cartels have unlimited money so they can buy you out and get and literally literally taking over communities out there all through money.
So the real estate is evolved.
You're going to see like the failed policies.
I still think that the more eye-opening thing, and this is just from the feedback that I've been getting from the viewers, is the labor trafficking.
People have no idea that it's happening.
And an issue like this, like I said a little bit earlier, Elijah, is people think that, oh, well, I don't live next to the border, so it's not going to affect me.
This is 300 miles away.
It's right here, and it's coming.
And this is just a small kind of aspect of this whole thing, right?
We still have a fentanyl problem.
All these criminals that are coming in, the gotaway.
So there's a lot.
And right there, look, you're looking at the footage.
These are human smugglers smuggling minors and women in the middle of the night.
And like I said, some of these adult males are not even the dads of these kids.
That's very eerie.
But I'm excited.
I'm hoping people, you know, check out the documentary, send it to a buddy, a friend, carteldoc.com, carteldoc.com.

Much love and God bless all of you.
Yes, I'll open your eye, all eyes except for your brown eye.
That was one color not mentioned.
