In this episode, the speaker shares their coping mechanisms during the current humanitarian crisis that has been ongoing for six months. They also discuss the existence of a machine that exploits people's suffering, which is unrelated to the crisis.
The US-Mexico border crisis has been in the news since January, with a focus on illegal immigration and trafficking. The restrictive border policies have affected these issues and benefiting cartels who make the most profit through trafficking in people and narcotics.
The speaker claims to be making money by charging tolls to people crossing the US-Mexico border, and even selling some into slavery. He argues that the situation is exacerbated by the presence of unaccompanied miners who are being physically thrown over the border.
The crisis at the US-Mexico border isn't just about the humanitarian concerns of those trying to cross - there's a bigger issue that people need to address. There is a machine profiting off of smuggling people and it's important to see beyond the surface of the crisis.
A son of a border resident shares that the issues surrounding trafficking across the border extend far beyond when the children get there and also explores the various industries that prey upon these vulnerable people traversing into the US from the South.
The cartel's ability to overrun government and police shows the failure of the state, and the large numbers of people crossing the border is a sign of the impact of that failure leading to people fleeing from terrorism.
The potential for cartel violence to spill over into the United States is a concern that many have had for years, and this episode explores what it might look like when it eventually does happen. The host and guest discuss the role of outsourcing, the importance of monitoring the flow of money, and ways to mitigate the consequences of potential cartel violence.
The speaker highlights the dangers of ignoring police corruption in society, drawing from personal experience and warning against repeating these mistakes.
Joe Rogan mentions his charities, Niñas Perdidos and the Lost Boys, that assist people on the southern border and in the veteran community. He aims to make his community better by helping those struggling with depression and mental health issues.
Liza Ola represents the conservative side of the political spectrum in Mexico and hopes to transform a governed place like Tijuana. Many people do not want to think about the issues in Mexico, but there are actions that can be taken.
The New Generation and Sinaloa cartels are becoming more involved in the US, leading to potential violence and drug trafficking across various American cities. This presence is a result of early recruitment tactics and could lead to unprecedented cartel action within the US soon.
As police departments face underfunding and lower standards for training, there is a risk of cartels infiltrating the force during rebuilding efforts and only those who benefit from the police's lack of confidence with the local populace will want to join the force.
A wedding planner recounts the story of a partner being caught being breastfed by their own mother, leading to a debate on whether or not it's a deal breaker.
