Okay, welcome to today's featured interview.
Mike Adams here, and we are joined once again for a second time by our Special Operations Unit Commander.
I'm not able to give his name or rank, but he operates out of Texas, a special ops unit out of Texas, working the border, doing human trafficking interdiction, weapons interdiction, and so on.
And he has been gifted a tremendous amount of satellite communications gear by our sponsor, the Satellite Phone Store.
And today he's coming back to give us an update of what's happening on the border, including in El Paso, and also then the use of these comms for effectiveness at protecting America's borders.
So, sir, thank you so much for joining me.
I really appreciate your time and your experience.
I know it's late.
You've had a long day already, but thank you for joining me.
Yes, sir.
It's always good to speak with you, Mike.
It has been a long day since probably about 5 o'clock this morning rolling out and tracking these illegals and stuff through the canyons as usual.
Things have been pretty crazy down there, but thank goodness to, again, as far as the sponsor providing these satellite ICON 100 SAT radios, And the bivy sticks, they've been amazing.
I want to ask you about that in a little bit, about practically what you're doing, because I know one of those, I think she sent you five of the Push to Talk satellite radios.
I want to ask you, but first, tell us, for those who didn't hear the previous interview, although it was very popular, tell us what's your mission there and what you're doing exactly, or as much as you can.
Well, I'm working the Texas border...
I can't give a direct location, but in the AO we're working is one of the largest of the AO's area of operations that we're working.
We are supporting BP's capture tracking of illegal aliens, human traffickers, possible other foreign people coming across.
Drug interdiction, possibly weapons and explosives if we do come across those, which, you know, has been so far in our area has not been as much as the drugs and human trafficking side.
And then, you know, of course, we have the regular migratory mentality that they just come across the border in large groups.
We track them as well.
So we work on the military side special operations group with the conventional Texas National Guard brush operations as well as special operations DPS What is your assessment of Governor Abbott and his commitment to protecting the border?
Because, honestly, I've heard a broad spectrum.
I've heard some people say, oh, it's great, he's serious, he's putting a lot of money.
I've heard other people accuse Abbott of almost being complicit with the illegal immigration.
What's your take, if I may ask?
You know, I think he's put himself, by some of the speeches he's given, put himself in between a hard place and a rock, and he's either going to have to follow through with what he says, especially based off the Title 42 possibly ending.
He's able to implement state The assets, that would be National Guard, that would be DPS and different things like that.
The State Guard, which is a state-approved or state-mandated militia, able to work on the border in a different capacity where we have more hands-on as far as trafficking, catching, pushing back across the border.
Will he do that?
I don't know.
I believe in some cases, I believe he's a rhino, and in other cases, I believe he's trying to do the right thing.
But if anything, he needs to take some lessons from DeSantos and stand strong and firm with this state and people who want to back him and want to be supportive of him because we'll do it with or without him.
Well, a couple of questions here.
Didn't Governor Abbott not long ago, I think he issued an executive order designating an official invasion status under state statutes.
I don't know the exact legal standing of that, but was that something that made a huge difference in the ability of teams like yours to be able to get resources or to add to the team size?
Did that make a difference?
It should have, and it was supposed to, but as far as adding those numbers or giving us the resources that would probably make a larger difference, that hasn't been implemented as of yet.
I'm not trying to throw the man under the bus and say he's not doing it.
I'm trying to say that it hasn't reached that point yet.
To where it's been funneled down to us yet.
Well, that can also take a lot of time because of all the levels of bureaucracy and who's writing checks and who's doing the accounting and all that.
So maybe it just hasn't trickled into your neck of the desert yet.
Yeah, that's possible.
It is.
But there's a lot to be said with At one point where I'm using some of my own personal equipment as far as my trailer to haul some of our special operations vehicles are having people like the satellite phone store who has supported us tremendously,
God bless them, in supplying equipment that we should already have operating down in the AO. It has come to my attention over the last few months that we will be getting a tower put in in some certain areas to help us give coverage of radio frequencies and cell reach capabilities,
cellular capability, but it won't cover some of the most trickier areas that we are in where the crossings across the river happen, unfortunately.
Yeah, I mean, you just mentioned something really interesting.
So I do want to give credit to the satellite phone store.
The website is sat123.com.
And they have sat phones.
They have the two-way satellite text messaging devices, the bivvy sticks.
I think they got you over a dozen of those for your team.
And then they have the push-to-talk satellite radios, or walkie-talkies, basically.
So you hold it down, you know, you talk, and then the other team members hear it, just like a walkie-talkie, but it's going through the satellites.
It seems odd to me that a state like Texas wouldn't already be working with somebody like the satellite phone store and already have this gear for teams like yours that are in these very remote locations, no cell service, no satellite oversight or anything.
I mean, they're not keeping an eye on you.
You're out there on your own, right?
I mean, you and your team, you're on your own, correct?
Yeah.
Yeah, we're not being micromanaged.
We're being given a mission, and due to the status of our operations in our type of unit, including the conventional guys, these are infantrymen that have either already been in deployments or have served in mission status.
We do have...
Iridium SAT phones, and I have yet to see one work at all.
We don't personally have those.
They're on the conventional National Guard side, but we haven't seen them work at once.
I tried to use one myself, but it didn't do any good.
I couldn't get out on a call, couldn't receive a call.
I have used...
The Push to Talk Icon 100 set radios and some of the furthest canyons, deepest canyons out there to talk out, to track our guys and give them heads up in the direction that these groups are going so that we can head them off and capture them at an ambush point.
And it's like talking right next, I mean like on a regular radio to each other.
So I mean it's that close.
And they're encrypted.
Yeah.
When you push the button, it beeps twice while it encrypts your conversation, and it's a good encryption.
It's a very secure system.
Now, okay, this is interesting to hear what you're saying, but are you also saying then that the Inmarsat phones, are you using any Inmarsats, or are you just using the bivvy sticks and the push-to-talk satellite radios?
We had tried the MRSat Iridium sat phones prior to receiving the push-to-talks, and we didn't have any luck.
And then the satellite phone store donated these five radios to us, and we started using them.
We just turned the other ones back into the supply chain.
Because they weren't working any good.
We were just using the radios that were given to me.
Okay, I'm guessing, by the way, I'm guessing it's got to be a configuration issue on those iridiums because when configured correctly...
I know that they work, but the thing is, the Iridium satellite network, you know, is a lower-altitude network, and the satellites are passing overhead.
They're not geostationary satellites.
So depending on whether you're picking up one satellite or handshaking, like a handoff to another satellite that's coming into your view, they can, in some circumstances, be a little more troublesome.
But they should work.
I imagine...
I imagine whoever got you those from the state, from the government, just didn't have them configured.
That's my guess.
That's a good possibility.
That would be one of my echo guys who's a comms guy to be able to figure that out.
I just know that when they were handed to us, told that they work or they're in a working status, and we were down in there, we were not able to receive or transmit out information as we needed it in some of the Deeper canyons and some of the more important areas we needed to.
Up closer to the highway or in an open area, it seemed to work better, but we never got them to work down in the canyon, not as well as we did the push-to-talks, which were, once you figured out you needed to, you have to be very point-blank with push-to-talks.
You have to make sure you're out, you know, in the center of the canyon or whatever, or at least make sure you have a good signal on your screen.
It has its limits too, but it's been Pretty much, I'd say, anywhere from 85 to 95 percent on point in all communications that we've used.
Yeah, and thank goodness the satellite phone store got you that solution because the other thing that I love about those is you don't have to dial numbers.
You don't have to navigate a phone book.
No.
You know, because frankly, some of the satellite phones, like figuring out what to dial, is it 011 and then, or is it, you know, what's the prefix again?
But with the push to talks, you just pick it up, you push it, you talk.
Yeah.
You know, I mean, well, you push it, you wait for the beep, which is the synchronization and the encryption, like you said.
Then you talk, you let go of the button, everybody else hears it, and then you wait for the...
It's just so simple.
It's like a fifth grader can use it without...
You don't have to be a geek to figure the thing out, right?
No, it is simple to use.
I mean, we had a few guys that when they first got them, and I wasn't able to be there...
To give them a heads up, because I rotate these radios amongst the teams as they rotate in and out of their scheduled time in the same AO that I'm in.
I provide these amongst the teams.
I have them on my team.
I share them on the SOG DPS side.
And I also share them on the BP side when necessary, especially the bivy sticks.
And I'm also learning more and more about these systems to where the bivy sticks can actually message the push to talk radios is what I'm starting to see.
Yeah, so there's a lot more communication capability if you're not trying to talk or you're in a situation and you have to be extremely quiet.
You know, that works out very well for a tactical situation when you're trying to, you know, get into your different movement orders from...
From being down and watching these groups move through a canyon and you're trying to talk to different interagency groups where everybody operates a little differently compared to, you know, the special operations guys on the military side versus special operations guys on the Texas Ranger side, you know, situation.
So being able to do what we need to, we have very...
Quick SOPs that we can use within team, inner team working for that.
So it's been very good.
So are there situations you can think of in the last couple months since you've received this equipment where it made a real tactical difference in the field, either in accelerating an interdiction or helping exfil somebody who was at risk or something like that?
Something where it really made a big difference that you can think of?
Yes, we had several groups that came through that had infants with them, where they were all, everybody, the mothers and the babies were dehydrated and cold.
And, you know, so getting them communications to the BP station, chief station, For an exfil, those individuals pronto was absolutely needed.
Also, when we're trying to do an LPOP as a listening post, you know, or observation post, and communicate amongst those to get the correct coordinates and distances that we needed to to get to those groups in a safe manner and in the dark,
It was paramount that we'd be able to talk to each other and coordinate that while it was happening, which ultimately saves lives.
It keeps us alive.
Even though they're invading our country or coming into our country illegally, we don't want human life to be sparingly left to fend for itself.
We still have to make sure we take care of human life.
Well, and I'm shocked to hear you say that they're bringing infants across and they're all dehydrated, including the infants.
I mean, we've all seen children that can walk, right?
But I haven't seen many reports of mothers carrying infants.
Is that a common thing now?
I hadn't seen it much up until just prior to the freeze, but it was still very cold.
And then shortly after, we were both very young toddlers, probably one-and-a-half to two-year-old range, I would say.
One was a female, one was a male.
Two different groups.
It's been pretty interesting.
Our counterparts further west on the border are definitely hitting quite a bit of drug interdiction as far as marijuana and fentanyl and stuff like that.
So they're doing very well up there.
The biggest interest is up by El Paso.
They had, in 18 hours, 300 captures.
They're coming across.
Some of our guys were chasing some IAs to cut them off from going into the neighborhoods and possibly getting into somebody's house or having some sort of a civilian altercation with these, trying to stop that from happening.
And one of the load-up vehicles chased down one of our guys and, thank goodness, jumped for the bushes just as they almost ran them over.
Really?
Yeah, it's gotten very crazy.
And Juarez is a war zone and lots of gunfire and explosions.
It's crazy with the cartel back and forth having it out out there.
Have you seen, and if you can't answer this question, that's fine, but I ask you this because some of my other guests have mentioned that the CCP, you know, communists, or really People's Liberation Army commanders, are co-training with narcos to do things like send fentanyl into the United States in order to harm military-aged young men, which is happening.
But have you seen any evidence that you could talk about of Any kind of communist Chinese involvement in the trafficking groups?
I can speak on an off-the-reservation program that I'm involved in on an intel side, but I can't speak of my capacity, what I'm working in right now on that.
But off on the other side, Afghanistan is in a full-blown workup with the Taliban and And the CCP working with them to push drugs further from The poppy fields,
those drug deals going down with the cartel to push more stuff into the U.S. definitely is abroad and being utilized.
So I would say that...
So what's the routing from Afghanistan into Mexico and then using manufacturing there and then trying to smuggle across the border?
That's correct.
Yes.
Yeah, there's a lot, a lot of things happening against the civilian population.
The people need to not be woke.
They need to be awake.
Yeah.
Let me ask you about Title 42.
As you know, that's been temporarily suspended.
But if it is revoked, then it's believed that there would be just a straight-up daily invasion of perhaps 15,000 illegals streaming across the border through multiple states.
But what do your...
Men and women that you're working with, what is their view of what's going to happen with Title 42 or the importance of it?
Well, we have a terminology.
It's called a pineapple chaos grenade.
And that's exactly what would be happening because it would be an overwhelming scenario.
I mean, other than setting up a strict border...
Um, control, that's like physical control, uh, then, then it's going to be a free for all.
And the best that we can do, because you can't vet all of these people, you have no idea who's coming in, whether they're from a completely different country that came in through the Latin America pipeline, which we know is happening from the Afghanistan chatter that we get on Intel.
Um, That is happening.
It is happening.
So you mean Afghani or Taliban members can, what, pretend to be Mexican and just kind of blend in with the border crossers?
Yeah, they'll make their way and have been known to make their way across the border already.
Yeah.
and not be caught.
So that's now there have been some that have been caught and they've been questioned and they are being dealt with, with I'm sure on the as far as I can speak on the DHS side, trying to do what they can do to, you know, find out where they came from and how they you know, find out where they came from and how they got And if they were Taliban or were they true Afghan Afghans, just trying to refugees trying to get in.
But we're we're finding out a whole lot more negative stuff than we are positive of any of us.
I see.
Okay, so one more question, or at least one more, but as I understand it, one of the areas that your team patrols is...
It's like the desert Badlands, basically.
I mean, it's canyons, it's rock.
You sent me a photo of one of the vehicles that your team uses.
It looks like a really rugged vehicle for...
I mean, it's like a dune buggy type of setup or something, but a tactical version.
And why would people...
Choose to cross over that incredibly rugged terrain when they could go to cities like El Paso, and it seems like they could cross more easily without having to take a hundred mile trek across the desert.
What's behind all that?
Well, generally, it's people who don't want to be caught.
So they go where nobody else wants to go.
Because of the least amount of people to cover such a great area to capture them.
It is extremely hard and some of them don't make it.
Some of them do, but it takes a toll on them.
Next thing you know, they're giving up anyway because they can't go no further.
Or we capture them and they're detained and And depending on what their background is or if they're able to verify it.
Now, there's criminals involved in that.
The criminal element coming to pick them up, which are having high-speed pursuits, which are having crashes, which are killing people, innocent people, including the illegals that they're hauling in the vehicle when it happens, has...
The uptick of that number of those things happening has quadrupled in the last few months.
It's crazy the number of high-speed pursuits that we see or are involved in.
We're not actually in the pursuit ourselves, but our law enforcement partners are leaving our side to go do that Take care of that situation, and we arrive on scene afterwards, and sometimes it's terrible.
Well, if this trend that you just spoke of, if this trend continues, there's obviously a chaos tipping point, or perhaps we're close to that now.
I mean, how can a state like Texas or a country like the USA deal with this if the trends continue?
I mean, what's it going to look like?
Well, They're willing to give, our government is willing to give everything to these illegals that are coming in.
Whether they be criminalistic or they're not, they're just trying to get in because they were told they could for whatever reason.
But they're not willing to take care of, what, our own veterans?
They're not willing to help them with anything?
Our own children in our own country?
They're not willing to spend, they'll spend millions and billions of dollars of taxpayers' money on this situation.
And it is unsustainable.
They want to say that things are unsustainable.
This is unsustainable.
Therefore, you will have chaos.
You will have a criminal element coming in and breaking into homes and raping our children and stealing them and selling them off.
It's not my...
It's not my point of view.
It's not my hypothetical thoughts.
This is facts of what's already going on.
So open up your eyes.
Don't be woke.
Be awake.
It seems like at some point, people in Texas or groups in Texas would just say, look, if the government's not going to protect us, then...
The government, you know, if the government can't protect the border, then it's an illegitimate government, because that's sort of the number one thing, is protect the border, right?
You know, or you're not a nation, so wouldn't a lot of citizens at some point maybe just say, well, it's our job now?
Yeah, well, it is.
It is.
And I can't promote that mentality, because that would be seditious of things on my side, but as a The person who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, protect the citizens and my state specifically, but I would do it for all.
Even the people that I don't agree with and are trying to shove their mentalities on me, I still protect them all.
Yeah.
And that's a God-given right that we had, and they have abused it, and the abuse has to stop.
And either at some point, they're going to have to stand up.
If you put your foot on the neck of the snake, on the neck of a rattlesnake, sooner or later, it's going to turn around and try and bite you.
And I tell you what, keep poking the bear and see what happens.
Let me shift gears here for some of the last questions.
A totally different take.
What do you think...
And this is kind of...
The scenario is if China were to actually launch a land invasion through the Texas southern border as part of a World War scenario, let's say that...
We're in a nuclear war with Russia.
China sees an opportunity of America being in a two-front war.
And China rolls into Mexico, and then with the narcos, just rolls up into Texas.
How capable, in your view, would the Texas Guard...
Texas special ops units, Texas militias, Texas law enforcement, retired veterans, whatever.
How capable is Texas of defending itself in an actual invasion?
I think the possibility is...
Good old Texas attitude adjustment.
You know, double A-S whooping.
But the bottom line is, is we've been breeding a generation of soy boys and weaklings that don't want to stand up for, you know, you hurt their feelings.
They want to go to a room where they can cry about it.
And that's just being honest.
We don't have a tremendous amount of men out there anymore.
Now, thank goodness we have veterans that have served and are from the old school generation that knows what has to be sacrificed to bleed the tree of liberty requires a price.
And nothing is for free.
So it worries me, the generations we have that are caving to this mentality, including military, law enforcement, governmental entities, schools.
Our kids are being brainwashed and abused.
It's terrible.
And then we've got to worry about an invasion on top of that possibly one day.
I mean, the scenario is possible.
We already have Chinese police stations in the United States.
Would we have police stations set up in the United States that are China?
That's ridiculous.
That shouldn't even be allowed.
That should be called an invasion itself.
Yeah.
What you're saying is it's going to resonate with my listeners for sure because there's a tremendous amount of frustration.
You know, here we are.
We just sent $110 billion plus to Ukraine to defend Ukraine's borders against an invasion, but there's not $5 billion for Ukraine.
Yeah, we're protecting everybody else's borders around the world except our own.
And on top of that, half of that money, I say half of it, probably most of that money and weapons is ending up in South Sudan and Africa.
Isn't that nice to know where your taxpaying money is going to?
Yeah, well, a great global weapons laundering machine has to function.
That's exactly right.
Yeah, thank goodness for the Wagner Group, you know?
Everybody's got to get paid along the way.
Whether you're a terrorist or not, it's ridiculous.
It really is.
When you have the diplomatic party, the governmental party, showing up in a room in Kiev, turning in their cell phones and their jackets to go in and party with paid women and Powdered drugs everywhere on tables in the middle of a war.
We got a problem.
There's something wrong with that story.
There's something wrong with that situation.
Yeah.
I didn't even ask you about that.
You just volunteered that description, which I'm sure people will find a little horrifying.
Yeah, it's wonderfully terrible.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, I would just say, you know, thank God for people like you and other members on your team who have the honor and the courage, the determination, the training, the smart, just the wisdom, the street smarts to be out there doing what you're doing, providing at least some level of interdiction, because without you, it would be a free-for-all.
Yeah, I know so.
There's a lot of people struggling out there on the border on both sides.
We have soldiers who've committed suicide because they've been away from their families and terrible things happen while they're gone.
We have young military men and women that are just being run ragged and don't see an end to it.
And they see what's going on around them, and it's not nothing what the media is portraying.
It's lies, and it's frustrating for them, and we've lost lives because of it.
We've lost unneeded lives due to suicide because of it.
I have no doubt that's the case.
Well, I know that you're working hard to keep as many people safe and alive as you can, and I want to thank you for your time here, sir, and also, of course, I want to thank the Satellite Phone Store for providing you the equipment.
Absolutely.
At no cost, and they're paying the ongoing monthly fees as well to keep everything up.
That's correct.
And they are a sponsor of my podcast.
I just want to be clear about that.
And folks, you can reach them at sat123.com, sat123.com.
If you want to use the gear that is being used to help defend America's borders.
Any final thoughts before we wrap this up?
Well, I would like to say that if you aren't Praying to God about the things going on.
In that moment, when you think all's falling apart, you probably will pray.
So, I would say support your communities, your schools, your religious communities, Churches, all of those things that run a community.
Even voting, your votes count, whether you believe it or not.
Get on your school board.
Get those critical race theory things stopped.
Get the abuse to our children stopped in your community.
Your community is the most important thing at this time.
Keep it strong.
And then one last thing.
How important is it right now for people to be armed in self-defense, given the influx of the criminal element that's coming into places like Texas?
Everybody should be taking into consideration the ability to be able to defend yourself at whatever level necessary.
But please, please educate yourself.
Please train yourself.
Don't just go get a gun and decide you're going to carry it around and not know how to use it or be proficient with it.
It's a skill set.
It's a mentality, and it needs to be dealt with.
You need to be training.
You need to arm yourself, because what is coming down the pipeline sooner or later, whether you like it or not, or you want to call people conspiracy theorists or not, or whatever, it's coming, and you're going to be unprepared if you don't.
Well, and I'll tell you, I'm coming up on 30 years of concealed carry myself.
I will have been carrying daily for almost 30 years real soon, and I've never shot myself, never shot anybody else, but I've had magazines fall out of certain pistols because I carried them so much that it wore away the retention indents on some of the magazines.
So that's the only thing I've had.
I've had magazines fall out.
Maintain your equipment.
Yeah.
I've had functional belt failures every once in a while.
What is that called?
A wardrobe failure like Janet Jackson, but not nearly as interesting.
Right, right.
It is important.
Yes, it is.
All right.
Well, thank you, sir, for your time and for everything that you're doing.
We appreciate you so much.
God bless you.
God bless you, too, Mike.
You take care.
Alright, you too.
Take care.
Alright, bye bye.

A global reset is coming.
And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
