Doc Pete Chambers with a border invasion update, US military vs. drug cartels...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Alright, welcome folks to today's interview here at Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and today we're joined by Doc Pete Chambers in the studio.
Welcome, Doc.
Good to be here again.
It's such an honor to have you.
It's always great to see you, brother.
Absolutely.
And let me give out your website first here.
It's also The Remnant Ministry Texas, and the website is here, TheRemnantMinistryTX.org.
That's us.
That's how you get here.
I want to talk about the border with you and Mexico drug cartels and also about your ministry as well.
Can we start with your latest update on the situation on the border?
Just spent some time down there.
You may know Colonel Douglas McGregor.
Yeah, what a great American.
He got a hold of me through Sam.
He's now working for him.
He went down there and called and said, can you do a documentary on the border?
I'm like, Perfect.
So we brought his producer down, his guys, and we went mostly Eagle Pass to Del Rio, and we took him to every important point, every important person that was a key leader, we call it, including the children's shelter, women's shelter that we have been helping out.
And he did a wonderful job of just talking about the border, but I was able to bring him the tactical level and marry up with his West Point, you know, high-level...
You know, more strategic-level thinking.
He got that out.
It was a great time.
But what's more important, he just posted on the 1st of May with Our Country, Our Choice.
It's a great video.
Their producers made me look good, even though I didn't feel like I was.
I was, you know, kind of like Ricky Bobby, what do I do with my hands?
But, you know, we got through it, and it's a great documentary.
So, I just spoke with Michael Jan, who's here with you today.
Yes.
The invasion traffic, so to speak, through the Darien Gap has dropped to almost zero.
What about the actual invasion traffic at the border, or at least the Texas border?
So what we're seeing is numbers-wise.
I'm going to talk numbers, I'm going to talk what's the optics and reality.
Even though at this point in time, the optics and the reality are marrying up, which is kind of nice, right?
Because we're seeing low numbers, and physically on the ground, we're seeing low numbers.
When I say those numbers, that would be in a day in Texas.
Up to maybe, at the highest day, 100 people that have been counted coming across.
But on a typical day, how much?
Typical day, 20, 30. These numbers kind of go back and forth.
And under Biden, sometimes those days were almost 10,000 a day.
Astronomical, exactly.
My average day three years ago, four years ago, in the Rio Grande Valley, was roughly around 12,000 a week.
12,000 a week?
A day, you can divide that out.
But then you'd have those days, like 18th of December, two years ago, at Eagle Pass, where we had 12,500 in 48 hours.
Oh, wow.
That was Venezuelan Trendy Aragua guys coming over to visit.
Oh, my.
Right?
And that was a LinkedIn job fair, basically, in San Antonio Convention Center, right after that, picking up those guys and putting them to work.
We watched it.
We followed it.
Much different now.
Much different.
All right.
So...
The influx has been largely halted for now, and we see a lot of self-deportation taking place among many, many illegals.
I mean, I even just know this from living in Texas, that there are illegals that are choosing to self-deport.
Trump's offered, I think, a $1,000 incentive for people to leave on their own.
But we're not seeing the big deportation numbers yet that I think many Americans might have expected, given the $10 million plus that came across.
Under Biden, I think that's an estimate.
What do you think needs to happen?
You know, Holman and others are putting forth effort here.
What needs to happen to get the deportation numbers larger?
The ability to hit the numbers that they need, that they talked about during the ramp up to the election.
Look, everybody in elections promises a lot more than they can do.
It's just a fact of our society.
I see the intent.
I've talked to Mr. Homan.
I believe him.
He's a man of his word.
Okay?
I'm just going to throw that out there.
But I will say this, that if I were him, and he plays his cards real tight, he's not bellyaching.
You're not going to hear him bellyache.
But you're going to hear him talk about his intent.
You're always going to catch that through his demeanor and through what he's working on.
His intent is to have the ability to, which I don't believe we have enough infrastructure to do, and when I say infrastructure, the bodies to move those out.
Right?
Because we're talking about who's the heavy hitters as far as handling that task.
Well, it's going to be ICE.
It's going to be Customs Border Patrol.
It is going to be local law enforcement.
And it's going to be U.S. Marshals.
They're going to handle different strata of nefarious actors.
Right.
If they're coming out of a prison, it's going to be the Marshals.
Right?
If they're coming in groups, local law enforcement is going to grab them in a city.
Whether, you know, that's the concern, is it a sanctuary city or not?
All those factors play.
Well, but my understanding is a lot of local law enforcement, at least county sheriffs, for example, they already have a lot of these individuals, or they did have them in the local jails.
They just needed to turn them over to some federal agency that would deal with them, typically ICE.
And maybe that's happening.
But the courts have been a problem here, too, right?
So the left-wing judge is trying to say, You can't deport these people, even though they're not Americans, and they were never naturalized, they nevertheless have America's constitutional protections.
And that's a big debate in the court system right now.
Are you hearing anything on how we deal with that?
Right.
So I have been watching that, and I've been following that, and that's a Department of Justice issue that should be handled pretty quickly.
I've seen them speak about this, and then there again, when we were hoping that Kash Patel and then Bongino as a...
As a guy, the kind of guy they threw in there, which was great.
I believe that their intent is right, but I don't believe that they have their hands fully untied to do their job.
That's clear.
Okay, and then you have to ask at the strategic level.
There's a saying that goes like this in the military, with regard to general officers.
Good generals talk strategy.
Okay, that's the thing I want to do.
Here's my intent, strategy, but how we're going to do that.
Great generals talk logistics.
If you don't have the logistics matching up with the strategy, and this is where I see it as a soldier that's seen this a thousand times, this is the problem set.
It's not matching with the logistics ability to move transport.
Okay, that's a heavy lift.
So we give graces.
We're 100 days in or past 100 days in.
Logistics should catch up with that.
Because right now, logistics is way, way behind on the ability to move those bodies, to move those people.
It's way behind.
Was that expected?
Yes.
They weighed, how much do we promise with, how much can we really do?
And they're on the backside of that curve right now.
Right.
Well, and I do want to give credit to the administration that they have tended to target the Tren de Aragua groups first, which are the most dangerous, I would say.
And probably a few thousand of those individuals are already out of the country.
And I would say, judicially speaking, even though I agree that all of God's children have a basic human right, like a right to water and shelter and clothing, but I don't think that non-Americans have American constitutional rights to due process, because they came in illegally outside of due process.
It seems to me like we can boot them without due process, at least as long as we can identify.
That they are not Americans.
They would not have what a lawyer would call standing in the court case if they were to bring.
Because the standing would require them to be a citizen and not have spoken the laws.
I don't believe that they have exactly the same due process.
All rights as a human being?
Absolutely.
And I've seen that firsthand.
I've dealt with it, looking at the eyes of people coming across, knowing they're here illegally, knowing they're being used as pawns in what Michael Yon calls human osmotic pressure.
Yes.
Absolutely.
But there are laws, and there is a system, and we're now beyond that.
But, and this is what I say, there's always a caveat to these things, is we've seen that before.
We've seen it wax and wane during administrations.
We've got to prepare and get this thing right before the next administration comes along.
Oh, clearly, because also the presence of illegals alters the congressional seats, the distribution, which is based on the census, and the census is based on how many bodies or people are living everywhere, whether they're legal or not.
So when you have 10-plus million illegals in California, California gets more house seats.
And that's cheating.
That's cheating.
That is cheating.
And that is a game that has been played, what was it, the Cloward-Piven Doctrine?
I mean, these are all things, if people look it up, they are talked about.
We're seeing it in action now.
And that would fall into the category of, if you're talking about fifth-generation warfare, unlimited warfare.
Right.
Because these are things that there's no limit to, is it going to be kinetic?
Is it going to be through the courts?
Is it going to be through human osmotic pressure?
Is it going to be through...
Pandemics, famine, you know, like Michael also talks about, pan for war, pandemics, famine, and war.
War changes things on the, but this is fifth generation warfare.
And the concern for guys like us that are on the ground, that are watching this stuff, that are dealing with it firsthand, in both sides, on both sides of the Rio Grande, for me, on the Mexico side and our side, we have to watch a little bit deeper as to what's going on to predict what's going to happen here.
I have to look for, where's that, before it was a needle and a stack of needles, because there were so many people coming, but where is that needle now?
Where's that dangerous pointy thing that I've got to stop from happening in the seams and gaps of chaos?
Chaos has decreased, but we still are looking to control that controllable, because that's going to help us predict what's the next thing.
Right.
And it's a hard game, but it's something we can do.
It's very difficult.
Yeah.
Okay, so let me ask your opinion on something that...
Myself and others, and Michael Jan agrees with us on this point, where are the DOJ prosecutions for people like Mayorkas, who was really the largest human trafficker into America in the history of our republic, massive human trafficking, funded invasion camps in Panama, helped create the infrastructure of mass invasion.
Acts of treason, like literal wartime treason, because this is a war-like invasion and occupation action.
It seems to me like if we can't prosecute some of these people that were actively engaged in massive human trafficking, then how, you know, what are we doing?
I mean, why can't we prosecute the obvious traitors?
Correct.
So my question would be, if I was sitting with Pan Bondi and Kash Patel right now, In a closed door, no media, no fanfare.
Excuse me, what is your definition of treason?
Right.
Okay, define that for me so we don't change the goalpost.
And if it is what I think it is and what I know it is, then I need to know what is the time frame with which those that have committed it will be brought to justice.
I'm not looking for retribution.
I'm looking for accountability and justice.
And these are the things that they ran on when they were standing up to run or be appointed.
And what they spoke about, sitting across from our Congress members and saying, why should I pick you?
That's the thing I'd want to know in closed doors, because I need to know, as a guy that does this now out of uniform, are you serious about your task?
Right.
Because at some point, we're going to quit taking you seriously.
And they are really risking that.
A lot of questions are being raised about the Epstein files, and she's becoming well-known for appearing on Fox News, but not for releasing files.
Maybe it's in progress.
What choice do I have but to have some patience?
I'm with you.
Yeah, I'm with you, and I truly believe, and I'm not one to cast stones and dispersions, but when I see a pattern.
Right.
And I see a pattern.
And then I say, okay, well, we're going to give you some graces.
And we did.
That's right.
And, okay, you like the media.
I got it.
There are people that love the media, love being in front of cameras.
You know, I'm indifferent to it.
It doesn't matter.
Truth is truth, wherever I'm speaking.
But if I see the pattern of we're playing the, you know, Star Wars, these are not the droids you're looking for game, then I'm going to have to say, all right, now, you know.
Texas thing, don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
There's a truth to that.
I'm not at that point yet, but I want that conversation.
I do want that conversation because I need to know that.
How serious are you?
That changes the dynamics of what we're doing on the ground as we start to entertain different levels of authority.
If we get more authorities, we're going to continue to move forward.
I've got to know somebody's going to prosecute them.
Well, yeah, exactly.
The credibility of the Trump administration on the side of law is at stake, clearly.
100%.
And the illegals that are self-deporting right now are largely doing so out of anticipation of possibly being prosecuted.
If the prosecutions don't happen, then many of those people...
Might decide to come back.
Like, hey, nobody's being prosecuted.
Or the people that were going to leave might decide, I'm not going to leave now because nobody's being prosecuted.
So there's a credibility factor here.
I mean, I've interviewed Kash Patel, and I support Bongino there at the FBI.
Yes, sir.
And I'm glad that we defeated the lunatic lawless left in the election.
But there's only a certain window of time.
Of patience that the American people have.
And notably, the fake Biden presidency, because that was a stolen election, within the first hundred days, they had arrested thousands of peaceful J6 protesters.
Correct.
So, the next question would be then, are you serious about your job?
And if you're not, then what happens to those kind of people?
And I've done this in numerous countries around the world when I'm dealing with leaders and key leader engagements.
If you're not serious about your job, I'm going to bypass you.
Because in this situation, with an invasion that we just went through, the human osmotic invasion, that portion of it, those things set the conditions for, that's a military term, set the conditions for chaos.
That's what it is.
Because I can't categorize what it is right now.
Are there sleeper cells?
Are there this?
Are there that?
But chaos will ensue.
If something, if there's a catalyst that steps in, a crystal of some sort of chaos, and says, all right, no power in Houston for the next three days.
And there are so many potential catalysts right now.
Trade wars, war in the Middle East, sleeper cells, terror cells, nuclear terrorism, dirty bombs in the USA.
Right?
So many potential catalysts.
Absolutely, yeah.
All right, so...
I love your analysis.
Thank you.
Let's pivot to the question of Mexico and two things.
China's involvement in the fentanyl influence coming across our border, because I believe that's been one of the areas of conversation between Trump and...
I don't know.
It's not clear to me which Chinese officials are actually talking to who in the Trump administration.
It seems like they're not really being very public about it.
But somebody's talking to somebody about fentanyl.
And then secondly, the narcos, the narco cartels, and the fact that Trump appears to be postured toward some kind of military strikes on the infrastructure of the cartels.
And I'm sure that infrastructure have been very clearly identified.
With the planes and the satellites?
I mean, we know the targets.
Will Trump hit them with missiles, you think?
What's the plan?
Right.
Okay, so this is me not using any information that is of classified knowledge, because I don't operate in that world anymore.
But I put that out because people say, you know, you'll see these little comments, oh, he's in the know.
Look, I avoid that stuff.
But I'm going to tell you what I know as a former...
Guy that took care of operators and an operator myself, is that we, I know this, that the conditions are being set, just like I said on our side, for that particular item.
What does that look like?
Now, that's where the playbook is not open to me, and I'm glad, and I'm glad.
But if I were doing it, and I'm reading between the lines right now, if I were doing it, I would have conditions set so that I could do combined joint operations with the Mexican special operations and ours.
To do a strike, a limited strike, with very pinpoint surgical direct action teams on specific cartel targets, which require a positive ID that there are no ancillary or any unneeded casualties.
That's a strike, a personnel strike.
But also to be prepared to.
I'm sorry, but...
Personnel strike.
Personnel.
People in uniform coming in on the objective.
What about the infrastructure of the cartels?
Like the drug, packaging, transport?
Yeah, so that's one of them.
That's just the kinetic part of that.
I would have that on the shelf, ready to go.
Prepare to do.
Be prepared to.
BPT.
And then, I would also have the people in the INT world, the SIGINTS and the humans, and all the people that go in and identify the key...
We've got to look at that.
Are we going to go after that?
They should.
They have the capability to do it.
You've already declared them a foreign, well, FTO, Foreign Terrorist Organization.
If that's the case, then those things are probably underway right now.
I bet you're right.
Yes.
And I'll tell you how I believe that.
Because I'm watching it on the ground and I'm seeing neighborhoods in cartel, pretty heavy cartel areas, former areas on that border that don't have the same ability to have freedom of movement.
They've lost their presence in the sense that there was a much higher presence in those towns.
There's a lot of leveraging going on with threats and things like that.
That's diminished.
And that is, in my side, in my work, where I'm dealing with orphans and trafficked people, I'm watching them, and they're telling us what they're telling us, and neighborhoods are changing.
I speak to mayors on the border, both sides, U.S., because you want to speak to the people that govern the people at the very lowest level.
So when you talk to them, and then you see...
The atmospheric change, atmospherics, and the culture.
Can't change the culture, but I can change the atmospheric.
When I see that, I see that something is working with regard specifically to the cartels.
They're not over.
They're not done.
I would say they've had to regroup.
They don't have the same money that they got for transporting people across.
That was huge.
That was in the hundreds of millions a month in the Rio Grande alone.
So that has changed.
So what are they going to do now?
They're going to go back to their fentanyl.
They're going to go back to the transport.
The ports of entry, with regard to Texas alone, I can't speak for the other states, are, I go back and forth now.
I go south and I go north.
And I see what's going on.
So the inspections that are happening on the Mexican side of the house, much more stringent.
Really?
With uniformed, looks like federales, some military that are screening.
And it takes a lot longer time to come back across unless you've got a pass.
But I'm glad you brought this up because one of my main questions is the cooperation of the Mexican government.
Because as we know, especially at the highest level, the presidency and her whole cabinet and all those people, at least my belief has been that they've always been so heavily threatened and controlled by the cartels that they are not free to act.
In opposition to the cartels, except in very certain limited situations.
Is that changing?
That is changing optically, and how effective that is, I can't tell you, but I can tell you that it has changed the amount of inspections that are taking place coming north.
Okay?
Okay.
So that's just as I see it.
And that, to me, being told to me by some of the missionaries that work down there, we're there every day, that they do go back and forth to get supplies on the U.S. side or whatever.
That has been over the last couple months.
And to me, that's part of the tariff war.
Because if the Mexican side wants to keep moving products and things back and forth without the heavy tariffs, they're going to do that.
And I think that she, the president of Mexico, is standing up and saying, okay, I'm going to do that.
But are there going to be prosecutions and those things as well on that side?
I don't know.
Okay, yeah, I just had to bring up her name.
Scheinbaum.
Scheinbaum.
Yeah, because it's...
It's hard to remember.
It doesn't sound like a Mexican name, for one thing.
No, it sure doesn't.
She had previously made statements saying that any attempt by the Trump administration to engage in military action without cooperation would be a violation of the sovereignty of Mexico.
She has to.
Yeah, she has to.
But do you think, and again, I know you don't have access to any...
Do you think that Trump is willing to risk that relationship with Mexico?
I mean, he placed tariffs on Mexico, but is Trump willing to do drone strikes, for example, on cartel targets outside of the cooperation of Scheinbaum?
Yeah, not having talked to him, and I know you know that, you know, I don't talk to him, but I would say that he absolutely should have that on the playbook.
But do you think he will?
Do I think he will?
That would be a tertiary level thing that he would have to do in the event that negotiations between former Senator, but now Director Rubio, for the State Department, Department of State, lead.
If those things fall through, then we're looking at the Von Klaus, which thing that is war or kinetic strike is an extension of diplomacy.
And I think that sometimes...
It would just be a message that may need to be sent, but that would be, in my book, an exigent circumstance.
That would be one of those that this is an extreme threat to the United States proper.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then what about the next level of that escalation, which would be U.S. Special Forces on the ground in Mexico, which to me sounds extremely dangerous, by the way, and to be...
Okay.
Yeah, and that's a great question, and that's the thing I talked about before, the actual boots-on-the-ground type of stuff.
And this is what that looks like.
That looks at what's called AAA Authority.
Advise, number one.
Assist, number two.
Accompany, number three.
So if we did not a unilateral operation, but a joint operation between Mexican Special Forces and ours, which is a very dangerous course of action for our soldiers specifically.
Yes.
We don't want any Americans in body bags.
I don't.
No.
Absolutely don't.
But I can agree to...
As a guy that's put a lot of Americans in body bags, I can agree to advising and assisting in the sense of helping to find them on Mexican soil.
Okay.
In operations centers, in training centers, I can agree to that without any hesitation because those are important things.
Sure.
Right?
Because that advises and we can assist them.
A company is different.
That's the third level of the authorities.
Uh-huh.
And if we accompany, there's just a lot more risk that comes.
But those things, if we do see that, if we do see U.S. troops down there in an advisory capacity, understand that very frequently those things lead to a company.
Yes, yes.
It's a natural thing.
And the worst possible case for me, if I was a soldier or have been a guy that took care of guys like that, it's the worst possible case.
But there are times, there's a season to everything.
And I don't want to see it go there.
No, absolutely.
And because the...
The cartels, at least my perception, is that it's very easy for, let's say, a typical American who's not that familiar with the situation to think that the cartels are not well-trained or well-armed or they don't have good logistics.
The thing is, it's their home turf.
They know everybody.
They control the roads, the bridges.
They know the towns.
They know the mayors.
They probably paid off the mayors of the towns.
Some of them, yes.
Yeah, some, right?
And they paid off part of the Mexican military too, right?
Absolutely.
So you're going into a hornet's nest that you don't control at all.
Right.
I just pray for the safety of anybody that would even think of attempting that.
Correct.
And that would be the...
It would be the second option that we talk about.
The strikes is another one, and that does limit the amount of American casualties, but it also limits the ability to obtain positive ID of the site.
If I don't have somebody on the ground looking at it, everybody talks about smart bombs.
Remember that 90% of those require somebody on the ground identifying the target, and then they've got to get out of there.
The smart guy has to identify the target for the smart bomb.
Because any president that has ever done that, and it has been done.
That does that, just takes a chance, if you will, of PID, positive ID.
If they take that chance, there have been and there always will be casualties that we don't need.
Well, right, and one final point on this, and then I want to pivot back to the United States, but the way the cartels operate in Mexico, at least this is my understanding, there's not a clear division between civilian and cartel in many cases.
Whereas, if you're in a theater of war and you're fighting a...
The military forces of a nation.
And the military men, they're in uniform, they're flying their flag.
It's pretty clear what's a military target.
It's an ammo depot, whatever.
When it comes to the cartels, it's a guy who lives with his grandmother in an abuelo situation.
And you can't just sort out civilians because they are civilians.
You know, it's intertwined.
It is intertwined.
Culturally.
Extremely difficult to obtain PID, but I say that when I talked about the ENTS, you know, the SIG ENTS and the human signal intelligence, human intelligence, open source intelligence, that's where we operate.
When we look at those things, it requires that person on the ground that says that this guy here is dirty.
Uh-huh.
Specifically.
Right.
And that is because we develop relationships with people, for me in my instance, who I know in one particular neighborhood and across from Eagle Pass, I can just talk about it that way.
I know some of the people and they'll say, don't go over down that road because that guy, straight up cartel.
In the U.S. side, let's go there.
On the U.S. side, Kimato, Texas.
A little bitty town nobody's ever heard of, probably about 35 people there.
But there's a women and children shelter there.
So we go and we minister to them, and we also bring supplies.
We built a building for them.
When you look at that, and they say, that house right there, that's cartel.
Okay, it's just close to Bracketville.
It's not too far from Bracketville, Texas, where our friend Sheriff Coe is.
Great Texan.
A great sheriff.
But when you look at that...
And you go, that guy right there.
I mean, I know numerous houses in Laredo, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Rio Grande Valley, Roma.
Cartel house.
Cartel house.
On the U.S. side.
Because you live in the neighborhood.
That's why.
Got it.
So we've got to have that intelligence, that understanding.
And that's just open source.
That's just people saying, don't go there.
But you've got to learn that.
And that's a key principle, that you can scale up.
Yeah.
If you have enough personnel, right?
If you have enough intelligence assets.
Let me bring it back to the United States on the demand side of this.
So this gets to your ministry.
This gets to the cultural war.
None of these drugs would have a marketplace if it weren't for Americans buying them.
So the demand side of this is often ignored in this fight.
Even Trump himself or others in our administration say, well, we've got to stop the We've got to maybe bomb them, maybe cut them off.
What about the American people?
What is happening to our culture where people feel so empty inside that they feel that they need to fill those gaps in their soul with heroin or fentanyl or whatever else?
Can you speak to that side of this?
Yeah, that disease process, if you will.
And I'm going to just say it now, firmly believe satanic process of taking people's hearts and minds and opening doors up for things that they don't need to be dealing with, right?
That change their mindset, that cause a demoralization.
If we're going to talk about Marxist-type things that are messing with this country.
The Marxists claimed many times, as Stalin and others, have said, we'll take America down from within, based upon, and Yuri Bezmenov even talked about.
We will then, through demoralization of that nation, take them down.
Well, all of those things are vectors of attack.
And so if we take prayer out of school, there's a second and third order effect.
If we destroy the nuclear family, there's a second and third order effect.
You start having all these things, all these institutions that were really based upon biblical principle.
I don't care what denomination you come from.
When you start taking down all those key pillars, family, children, patriotism in school, but also praying in school, also understanding we have a constitutional republic, you start separating those out.
And then children growing up in bad neighborhoods who all are seeking one thing at that level.
Me as a kid, I want to belong to something.
Now I joined sports.
Now I belong to a club, right?
Some people at that time, at that age, it was gangs.
Some people at that time, it was selling drugs.
You know, me in high school and all that.
And then I said, well, I'm going to join another club called the U.S. Army.
And I did.
Right?
So I belong to something.
Because that boy needs that.
And girls need that, too.
They need to belong to a sport.
They need to belong to a bunch of friends.
You know, a clique.
Well, now you start adding in all those vectors of attack, which is exponentially higher with the advent of cell phones.
And the ability to, not just the cell phone itself, but to get this information.
So the attacks are constant.
So drugs, because of the addictive nature of them, especially the fentanyl, especially the heroin, cocaine was like that.
Somebody to try it one time and be addicted.
And fentanyl is like that.
The only problem is the threshold of death is very close to the threshold of getting high.
Period.
And so now we're seeing that as a As an opium war being placed upon the United States.
Remember, we didn't do that, but the French and British did it to China.
The opium wars.
Right.
To create destability.
That's right.
And trade routes.
Well, now it's the opium wars in reverse on us, and it's taken hold because it's been going since the 60s and 70s with the drugs.
The gateway drugs are gateway drugs, period.
That's just what they are.
But now they're just so much more dangerous and so much more addictive.
So now when you see that we've got that pull, that's the commodity that it is, and say, well, now we've got the buyers, and it's through the roof.
And so they are going to continue to make their money one way or another.
It's getting across the border is the key.
Well, now because we've essentially shut down the border as far as the numbers coming across, less mules, less chaos, less seams and gaps.
They've got to come across the ports of entry, or by boat.
Those are the gateways coming in across the bridges.
Alright, that's really interesting.
Let me ask a follow-up on that, but first, I forgot to point out that Trump did designate this large sliver of land from the western border of Texas all the way to the western edge of California on the Pacific to be a military-controlled zone.
Do you know the proper name for it?
Well, you know, we've seen that in Korea.
We've seen that in Guantanamo Bay called demilitarized zones.
It's not demilitarized in the sense that it's a no-man's land.
This is a military-controlled.
So what does that mean?
That means that under the title system of the U.S. Code, Title 10, that if he did that, and he did, Operation Lone Star is a prime example of what that looks like.
It was a Texas-run operation when I was on the border.
Texas National Guard, air and land.
And then it went to Title X when he came in and said, we're bringing in Title X. What does that mean?
Active duty military.
And because of the border already had by legislative decree, if you will, and I don't know the specifics on the legislation, but the way it is written is that there is a certain distance inside the border that the Border Patrol, because it's a federal entity, and now Title X, because they are a federal entity, have freedom of movement.
To conduct operations in that specific swath.
Is it three miles?
I don't know.
Is it, you know, I've heard different numbers.
I'd have to look it up to tell you.
But that's a freedom of movement zone for our military to conduct operations.
And listen, it's been like that for a long time.
You know, Doug McGregor and I were talking about this when General, well then at the time, Colonel Pershing, who became General Blackjack Pershing, World War I fame, when he was stationed down there near Bracketville at Fort Clark, I believe, They would go across and chase Pancho Villa 200 miles into Mexico from this specific zone that was demarcated then.
We used to keep Title 10 forces on that border until maybe 60, probably 100 years ago.
Really?
Because we had the raiders coming across.
So, to your knowledge, is Trump deploying more active duty military?
Yes, absolutely.
Right now?
I've seen it.
right now.
Doesn't that put Trump in contention with the governor of California to put U.S. Military troops on the southern border of California when we know that the Democrats of California, they depend on illegal trafficking, human trafficking, drug trafficking, that pay kickbacks to the slush funds and the politicians and the judges in California.
Yes, I would say in that regard, yes.
Not in contention with the governor of Texas.
No, not Texas.
I mean, California.
And Arizona, who has a fake governor, too, by the way.
And Arizona.
Nobody ever talks about New Mexico, and that's a key critical thing to talk about.
Because New Mexico has a large border with Mexico, right?
And nobody talks about it, because that particular...
Very leftward-leaning government of New Mexico, and much of that land on the border is run by tribal land.
So that's kind of a no-man's land for many, I won't say for federal forces, it's not.
It's still on the border, and they do have the freedom of movement.
But the atmospherics of it is difficult operating territory for us to conduct law enforcement operations.
Right.
But this military designation should give The Trump administration and the DOD, a tremendous amount of leeway to operate despite the Democrat governors that don't want to shut down the border, correct?
It's in their face.
It truly is.
Yeah, it is.
And I don't know the numbers in the California sector, San Ysidro, but, you know, I don't know if you saw just recently three Border Patrol agents, and I love my Border Patrol guys, but got rolled up for trafficking.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you and I both know over the years there are a lot of Border Patrol agents that were on the payroll of the coyotes or the cartels.
Human nature.
When you're demoralized, you tend to do these things a little more frequently.
Okay, let me ask you about the next stage of where I believe this is going.
So we're going to talk about advanced AI robotics.
But small, nimble robots.
So I want you to imagine like a raccoon robot with a payload of fentanyl or something.
So if you're smart and you're part of the Mexican cartels, you're thinking, hey, okay, I can't get maybe people as cross very easily anymore.
Thermal cameras and they're looking for man-sized Things coming across the border.
But I could get a little robot raccoon across the border.
And I could get thousands of those across the border.
And also underwater ocean drones, right?
We've seen that now.
I've heard of that.
Yeah.
Over on the California side.
But I'm thinking, not just in the sky drones, because those are easier to spot with radar.
They can be taken out.
But I'm thinking about land crawling or a robot dog with a payload.
That's coming.
I mean, that's going to be tried.
How will the U.S. defend itself against more advanced mobile robotics technology?
Well, you know, I would imagine that somebody's on that playbook looking at that.
Probably not a priority.
It's still a few years out.
Because I know how slow the military process works as far as planning.
Most of the time it's reactionary.
I hate to say that.
But most of the time it is.
Not the units that I worked in.
We try to be very left-a-bang before the IED went off.
We try to learn from that.
But I would say that that is something that's probably not on the playbooks as far as identifying it, because to know the cues to look for those things, you've got to know what those things can do.
And that's still kind of, I'm going to put that in the DARPA-ish world for me, just because DARPA is the agency that would be building something like that.
And they probably do have that.
Can I point out something?
Sure.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but these robots...
See, China's been providing a lot of the fentanyl.
China's also the leader in robotics technology.
And these robots don't have to ever come back.
Like, they're one-way robots, because the value of the payload is many times higher than the value of the bot.
Right?
And you can even train robots.
If another robot fails halfway...
There can be a GPS signal on it.
Another robot can come along, grab that payload from the down bot, and continue the mission, get to the destination, drop it off in a desert in Arizona somewhere, and then that robot can be programmed to just run off and die.
It never has to come back.
These are going to be very difficult to track.
Yeah, the tracking of that, I'm just going through the scenarios in my head.
Look, put me on that mission, though, because the rules of engagement are pretty simple.
That's true.
Destroy the robot.
Destroy the bot.
I don't want to shoot people in America, but I will destroy a bot all day, drive over it.
Right.
But they're going to have infrared or thermal or night vision cameras.
They're going to run at night, number one.
So they're not going to move in the day.
Yeah.
They're not going to leave a big thermal signature.
Yeah.
Interesting concept.
I've thought about drones coming overhead.
We talk about, when we do defense down on the border, 360 plus one, meaning the sky.
360 on the ground, but I've got to do the plus one.
So we are cognizant of, we've seen drones.
We've seen them come across.
We've seen drones out over the river.
So we know that.
But I hadn't thought of that.
That's a good scenario to talk about.
And I'm sure that somebody's watching that knows what person at DARPA is, Army's future, you know, future Army's guys that they look at the future planning, they're sitting here probably listening going, yeah, we already have that.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
I'm going to ask my producer to roll some of the footage from the Unitree robot company where they've put controllable wheels on the bottoms of each of four legs.
And then the wheels, when they're locked up, they function as hoofs.
And then...
When there's torque applied to the wheels because they're electric motors also, then they can roll rapidly up and down hills.
It can traverse extremely difficult terrain, like rocky hillsides.
And they don't need sidewalks, man.
They can handle the terrain that we are talking about.
That was the 20 years ago was the thing that we all said, there's no way they're going to use robots because they can't get up and down these stairs or hilltops.
Now these can.
They lock up the wheels to climb up.
And then they unlock the wheels to roll down, and they're just cruising.
Now, battery life is an issue, etc.
But anyway, I don't mean to dwell on this, but I wanted to say that as long as there's demand on the U.S. side, that there's money in making deliveries, obviously.
And the cartels are going to be, I think, very creative.
Oh, yeah.
In figuring out how to do this.
Oh, they get real creative.
We've seen it in every aspect of warfare.
They're very creative things.
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they used a Monty Python catapult to send them across.
Yeah, right.
Here comes the rabbits.
Right.
You know, little rabbits popping in.
Run, run, run away!
Or how about robot drones that actually look and act like birds?
Like, you know, buzzards or something.
We see buzzards all the time in this area.
You know, six foot wingspan.
But it's a robot buzzard flying around.
But it's got a payload of fentanyl.
You know, that's really hard to interdict.
And not that expensive to make once they nail down the technology.
And it would even flap its wings like a buzzard.
You know what I mean?
Like biomimicry robotic smugglers.
Fascinating.
I mean, this is really cool stuff.
I mean, you know, I'm sure that when we leave here, Michael Yon and I will be talking about that because it's...
He's definitely into that technology.
Well, you know, the world is changing rapidly, that's for sure.
But I wanted to wrap it up with you by bringing it back to what you said about when a nation turns away from God, then there are second-order and third-order effects, and we are living in that time now.
How do we turn back to bring Jesus into our lives and God into our lives as a nation?
You know, this is, we, principalities, rules of darkness, these things that are talked about in Revelation and in Romans as well, that we're fighting against principalities and rulers of darkness.
Now that's spiritual warfare stuff.
And some people write it off and go, I'm not worried about all that.
Well, you should be.
Because we are a triune being.
We have a force field, if you will, of energy that flies around us.
Some people call it aura.
Some of those people that are into crystals and all that say, well, you got a really cool aura.
I got it.
That's my spirit, right?
That's just what you're feeling.
And then you have a soul, and this soul has the ability to have ties with people and friends and family and those things.
And there are bad ties, you know, that you can have with your soul, your heart and your mind connected.
And then you got this, you know, in the military, you call it a meat sack of a body, right?
And it may live for a long time if you take care of it.
It may not.
But when it's gone, you're still going on in your spirit.
So in your spiritual life, as we're being attacked in the triune manner, the triune attack upon this nation, demonic forces and things like that, And in our souls, in our hearts, you know, demoralization.
And in our bodies with chemicals and with, you know, things sprayed out of the skies.
You're heavily into all that.
When we look at those attacks, we say, well, what does that require as a response?
Well, it requires a triune response.
If I neglect the spiritual aspect of it, if it were up to me in the White House or in the Pentagon, I would have the Secretary of Spiritual Warfare.
Right?
I'd have that guy sitting there.
Good point.
Right?
And saying, you know, I'm attuned to this stuff, because if you're not, you're missing a large part of that battle.
Good point.
So, and then when we, and you know, it's not a crazy thing.
This is a thing.
You could still be a centurion, a warrior, and listen to God.
There's nothing wrong with that, because there is a time and a season for everything.
In Nehemiah, in the book of Nehemiah, and he talks about it, they went to war, not to war, they went to build a wall.
And he says in the book of Nehemiah, they went with a shovel in one hand and a sword in the other.
There's a time and place for everything.
Just going through the recent, you know, watching the Lord of the Rings again, and seeing that there was a very biblical or very spiritual connotations that J.R.R.
Tolkien was writing about, it really mimics or echoes, let's say, the life of Christ.
You know, it really does.
And it's pretty deep.
I've read the books, the whole book, all together.
Yeah, when you take the whole series, the Hobbit series and then the Lord of the Rings, you take those and you're really deep.
And I read them first.
I never watched the movies until later on.
Those are long-ass books, by the way.
Long books.
I loved them, though.
I was just enthralled with that stuff.
So much detail in there.
But, you know, when you look at that, there's a disease, and it's called sin.
And they carried it in the form of a ring.
And then everybody's person that got around that ring until it was thrown in the pits of fire and pits of hell.
And so when you take that on, you take that sin on it, it makes you sick.
And our country has had a moral bankruptcy to many of its institutions, many of our leaders.
Moral bankruptcy, not even just damage, bankruptcy.
And so the DOD primary suspect to that while I was in, watching it change from 1983 to the present.
You know, at least in 2022 when I got out.
And just wondering what happened to those leaders.
Where's the honor and the prestige and the esprit de corps that are typically concomitant with morals, right?
The moral bankruptcy has taken control of many of those institutions.
So for us, and those of us on the ground in that fight, we don't hold ourselves any higher than anybody else.
But we look at the fruits of the spirit in this person or in this institution and say, there's something broken here.
And it says in the book that many will take the easier route and few will take the harder route.
And those few are the remnants.
Those believers that, regardless of denomination, those believers that understand those key principles of the triune being and put, you know, the first two rules.
Number one, you'll love your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind.
And number two, you'll love others as you love yourself or as you want to be loved yourself.
If you do those first two, Pretty much everything falls into place.
You're probably not going to murder people.
You're probably not going to covet somebody else's wife.
You're probably not going to steal.
Because if you love people, you're not going to do that.
Right.
So if you just do those basic rules, you're good to go.
You're good to hook.
And you might be lucky enough, if you're a believer, to hear, well done, good and faithful servant.
Right at the end.
Right.
But if you hear at your last judgment, depart from me, I never knew you.
And you could be the biggest top, you know, mega church preacher in the world.
And you may possibly hear that.
Because what's happening in your heart?
I think there's no question that many of the mainstream, especially the mainstream churches, megachurches, have also suffered moral bankruptcy in this country.
That's why I love what you do.
I love your ministry.
And just lately, I've been hyper-focused on the red-letter version of the Gospels, just the words of Jesus himself.
Because I...
It's so clear that Jesus said you demonstrate your faith through your works, by helping others, through your deeds.
And I've had debates with other Christian people that say, no, it's all you have to do is confess your belief in Jesus, and that's enough.
And my answer is that's not enough.
That's a starting point.
But clearly, we must help the needy.
We must...
Feed the hungry.
We must clothe the poor.
Or different renditions of that.
Like I'm building an AI knowledge system to help people live with free knowledge.
You're helping people in person, in towns and neighborhoods close to the border and through your ministry.
You've got so many projects that we haven't even talked about.
But I love the fact that you're very deed-centric.
You're doing things that help people on the ground.
Right, we have to, because faith without, it's written, faith without works is dead.
It's not a requirement to get into the kingdom.
It's not a requirement.
But you will know them by their fruits.
So if you know them by their fruits, we don't judge.
But I tell you what, when I'm looking for people that do things, they generally come with fruits.
Faith, love, and charity, and goodness, and kindness, and self-control.
If I see somebody that doesn't demonstrate a lot of fruits, I'm not judging them.
I'm just not working with them.
Well, right.
Anybody can sit in a room and say, I believe in Christ.
Okay, great.
But to get out into the world and actually do things that demonstrate your faith, to be other-centered, to help others at your own expense, that's something far different.
That's far more powerful, more profound.
You shall know them by their love.
That's the number one.
Right.
That's the number one.
And this is what I see in you and your ministry.
So let me give out your website again.
It is...
What is it?
TheRemnantMinistryTX.org There we go.
TheRemnantMinistryTX.org And thank you for all that you do.
Thank you for being here and for just being open to all my questions and commentary.
And please keep us posted because...
Yes?
Yeah, well, I have one thing to say, and this is about this man, because I'm going to just lift up a little bit, because I believe that you are the same, you're just a different, you know, you're a lot lighter than I am, and you don't wear a cowboy hat.
But in this fight, there are the hands and the feet and the head and the legs and the body.
That's called the ecclesia, the body, right?
That is the church.
That is the real church.
And every single mission that we've been on, every single one of them, There's been one way that you have touched it without even knowing sometimes because of things that you sent us in North Carolina or pieces of equipment that we've used on an operation here in Texas or all the way out to Idaho now and down to Florida.
So we have seen that that's how this all works.
We all got a part, and it all comes together in that ecclesia, which then that's the works part of the faith and works thing.
So you may not know it, and it's okay.
Because we're going to find out about it in the book of life later on after we're sitting up there going, well done, good and faithful servant, go hang out in the pool room now.
You know, whatever we've got to do wherever we are, worshiping and glorifying God.
It's so interesting how God works through us because, and I'm not going to describe specifically like some of the items that I've offered you today, but those things were sitting in...
In my office building for like eight months.
And I kept thinking, these are for something.
And I don't know what they're for.
And I always ask, God, show me how do I put all these things to the best use?
Because I've been blessed with so much abundance and tools and donations that come to me that I have so many donations that I have to focus on how do I distribute those donations?
Right?
And which is a lot of what my church does.
But it just clicked of one of your projects and this stuff that I had to get to you.
And the flow is automatic.
It's like, I don't even...
You notice I didn't ask you what you're going to do with it.
I don't need to know because I know that you know and I know that you are going to put it to its best use.
And that's how this works.
That's exactly it.
And it's just amazing because there is a tapestry of God.
God has no time.
He's before, he's now, he's after.
And he's going to be for ages.
Yeah.
Unto ages.
But his tapestry works so cool because it's just like, throw us together.
I don't know you, you don't know me.
I'm an army guy.
If I had never been a whistleblower, nobody would know me, which would have been awesome.
But it's not.
Because we've got a mission.
And in this mission that we're in right now, God put that tapestry together and...
You'll touch lives down on both sides of the border, all the way down, you know, 1,250 miles of Texas border without ever even knowing it.
Wow.
Please ask them to make sure I can still get avocados.
It's all said and done.
I'm jokingly, I said, I'm happy to pay a cartel...
Fee for the avocados.
I don't want to give up my avocados.
Just change them and just say, instead of fentanyl, how about avocados, bro?
I'm happy to pay more for avocados if you get rid of the fentanyl.
But anyway, it's a blessing to know you, Doc.
And thank you for being here today.
Absolutely.
Keep us posted.
And keep putting pressure on our governor to do the right thing.
We've got a great man in Paxton.
A.G. Paxton running for Senate now.
Well, I'd love to see that happen.
I want to see him as a Senator, too.
I fully support that.
In fact, I support him for DOJ, but he didn't get that call.
But he can work in the Senate, but we can help Texas heal, and we can help humanity heal.
Yeah, we've got to get the morally bankrupt out, which is a specific case with Paxton, 100%.
He needs to get that gentleman out.
He's exhibited too much counter...
Constitutional Republic activity.
You're talking about the man that Paxton's running against.
Absolutely.
Yeah, Paxton's running against.
Get that man out.
Get that man out.
Yeah.
Cornyn, I'm just going to say it.
Sure.
Because I don't believe he's ever even looked at the Constitution.
No.
No.
He votes like a globalist.
Yes, he does.
Every time.
Yeah.
He votes against the people of Texas.
We're talking about Cornyn.
It's a shame.
Cornyn, absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He would be somebody I would support 100%.
Me too.
Yeah.
Me too.
All right.
Well, thank you so much, sir.
It's an honor to know you.
It's an honor to have you here.
We appreciate you very much.
Appreciate you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right, folks.
There you go.
Doc Pete Chambers, just an extraordinary man and also someone who has influenced my life in so many positive ways, including the fact that my dog, who's sitting right there right now, I wouldn't even have my dog if it wasn't for meeting your dog.
Right.
At the Alex Jones Studios.
That one day when you had Joe there.
Yeah, that's great.
I always love coming back over and bringing him out.
Yeah, it was a good day.
Well, I'll tell you what.
We'll take a break.
We'll go throw some toys for both our dogs.
Have some fun.
Yeah, we might as well.
All right.
Thank you for watching today, everybody.
Mike Adams here with Brighteon.com.
God bless you all.
Take care.
Take care.
Hi, Mom, and to all the moms out there, we appreciate you.
Happy Mother's Day from myself, Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, and HealthRangerStore.com.
We greatly appreciate all the moms out there and the dedication that you have for creating a healthier, happier future for your children and grandchildren.
And thank you for everything that you've done to help humanity be, well, better as we move forward.
And to help celebrate that and to help make...
Healthy living, more affordable in this time when so many products are becoming more expensive.
We have put together a special for you as part of our Mother's Day sale event.
And this is called Mom's Ultimate Pamper Kit.
And if you look at it there, let me walk through it.
It's got the coconut oil, which has, you know, a multitude of uses.
The shea butter, the body oil there, and then a colloidal silver spray, the colloidal silver deodorant.
Then we have the Tea Tree and Lavender Shampoo, and then our Koloda Silver Mouthwash with Citrus Fresh.
That's actually my favorite one right there.
And all of these are put together at a substantial discount.
That's about 40% off the price if you were to purchase them separately.
And these days, I mean, you're not going to get 40% off almost anything.
So this is a special kit with a gift, which is the...
Pine needle spray that has silver and iodine in it.
That's the spray.
Show that again.
That's the spray that you see in the center there, just to left of center.
That's not, you can't even buy that at the store.
That's only as a gift.
Pine needle spray with silver and iodine.
And then also, by the way, the silver fresh liquid deodorant has, it's made with magnesium and baking soda.
So no aluminum.
We don't use aluminum ingredients at all.
You know, we don't use synthetic fragrances.
We don't do any of that toxic stuff.
These are ultra clean, all laboratory tested, and all available as a discount to you to say thank you during this Mother's Day special.
And these prices are good while supplies last, or it ends on May 11th.
But, oh, and you can find it at healthrangerstore.com slash Mother's Day.
All one word, no space, just healthrangerstore.com slash Mother's Day.
You'll also get double points during this special event, which is really extraordinary.
It's almost 10% back that you get in points that you can spend on future purchases.
That combined with the discount that we have in this kit makes this an unbeatable value.
You're just not going to see this again, especially given...
