Number two, and we talked about all this in the movie. Number two, they'll flood a sector. The cartels have five vertical products They sell sex trafficking, human trafficking. They do coyote services taken across. They do illicit drugs. Now they're doing fentanyl. So they'll flood a zone with people. And people really take a lot of officers, a lot of state, local authorities, federal authorities.
So they like hit Laredo and then Del Rio is available or Brownsville is available and El Paso. You can just walk it across. So they sort of flood a zone with people and then walk the fentanyl across. And we got video in this in our documentary. And the third that a lot of people are not aware of.
is on the northern border, we have Border Patrol agents in their sector, in their office, but they're processing people from the southwest border. So they're on Zoom calls all day long doing paperwork with people on the southwest border, and they're not patrolling the northern border. We have big gaps in the northern border cause initially because of the problems of the southwest border.
And I think they were afraid to talk about this. I think that somehow politically they made an early mistake and said, we're going to be open border, we're going to be a fluid border, and they never got off that position. And sadly, FITL is so interconnected with the illegal immigration, and we need to be honest about it. They're directly connected.
I think Biden, President Biden did one meeting that got initially some positive verbiage or talk. But nothing ever followed through. It was they said something nice. They released some information. But it turned out he did not follow through. And I hold President Biden responsible for not holding him to those commitments. He said the right things, but didn't take any action.
And I'd rather have action than words at this point with so many people dying. And again, that's why I think President-elect Trump, the fact that he's gotten everybody's attention threatening terror, and nobody wants a terror war. I mean, let's be honest. We all know we don't want that. But if that's what it takes to get their attention, if St.
Shins is what it takes to get their attention, then we have to do it. Again, if we really believe This is a threat. And in my heart, I really do. We have not been threatened in our country, just think in pure death numbers, since World War II with Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini. And we need to act like that. We need to have a national whole of government response.
We need to have a total, complete change of attitude. And to me, if you're a sovereign country, we need to know who's going across our border and what's going across our border. It's that simple. If you think of it in your own house, you wouldn't say, let anybody walk into your house, just willy-nilly, bring in what they want, take out what they want.
We would never allow that to happen in our own houses. Why are we letting that happen in our own country?
Well, and I spent three weeks in China prepping for this movie, almost three weeks. And the good news is China knows how to take care of this for themselves. There's almost no fentanyl use nationwide in China. So the highest populous country of the world has almost no use. And what they have done is they've criminalized hard drugs. and they hold accountable, and it's certain.
So right out of the box, if you were a distributor, wholesaler of it, they have very strict, very strict, it's very certain, it's very fast. So compare that to us in the United States that's doing things like harm reduction. And I don't think you can reduce any harm. I call it so-called harm reduction because there's no way you can make fentanyl safe or the fentanyl supply chain safe.
You can't make it safe. Yet in California, there are places like San Francisco spent $28 million on a safe consumption site, a block and a half from City Hall out in the public square. where they funded where you can go take your fentanyl and provided you with straws and foil and paraphernalia. Think of that versus China. China has strict punishment in there.
In another area where I'm actually hopeful California legislature has been decriminalizing all type of drugs, high end drugs, every part of it, not prosecuting for a long time. The citizens of California three weeks ago and a lot of this is sort of the rest of the country did not maybe pay attention because they're tied up watching the election. But the citizens of California left California.
leaning group of voters voted two to one to recriminalize high-end drugs against their legislature so even the citizens of california are waking up and saying that we got to start using common sense and you can't say we're going to decriminalize especially hard drugs I get there's a conversation around weed and alcohol and lower end drugs.
But fentanyl is the deadliest drug we have ever seen in the world. It's a synthetic opioid that's 100 times more powerful than morphine. 1 15th of a rice kernel will kill you a bit though, or two to three grains of salt. It's like dust almost. That's why the zero to four age group, this is the fastest growing death rate in America is zero to four children.
They're not calling an addict that they're not calling it. They're not an addict. They're not calling a dealer. They are just getting poisoned because of fentanyl powder out on restaurant tabletops, park benches, around the house. And they put a sandwich down, they pick it up, and they die. I can't tell you how deadly this is.
In California, Washington State, parts of Hawaii, Oregon, many cities have either chosen to say, we're going to legalize this, Or they choose not to prosecute it. And both are just as bad.
And happy holidays to you. And I would encourage anybody, if one hour is worth it, if you're a parent, if you're a child, if you're a policymaker, you'll learn more in one solid hour than you'll ever know about fentanyl. And we need to raise education. We got to do that almost before we start to take these other policy initiatives.
