my daughter was working in tucson so we were driving. back to tucson and we got pulled over by a border patrol and he immediately asked me. to state my citizenship. u.s. citizen a mexican citizen and i said i mean all of. them and all of my land. where you from. so he. could kiss his pistol on the side and he put it in my head he said you will say. i'm mexican citizen. and he did that in front of my daughter and my grandson was little and both of them started crying. but he continued to say that he would deport me. on the pavement. in the park. and i said.
7:32 pm
7:33 pm
won't believe. you know. it's really where. we may. be a little good. to. see it like this forever. so if you have a desolate. desert low. ninety ninety million to the whole of the over two thousand two hundred sixty million people. well why you don't try to cross the desert is in the hospital bowl you can't carry enough water we see more
7:34 pm
7:35 pm
a. i guess there's no way to prove it either way but. that i just talked to said that he knew there was a drop here so kind of leads me to believe that they know it's here and my becoming it because again that fits in with their strategy of just making it really difficult for people to cross the strategy of prevention through deterrence where. basically they want to make crossing as difficult and hard as possible. to deter people from doing it but really this is just resulted in suffering and death on the border and just putting people in a really really vulnerable situation. when they catch people they now will put them through operation streamline and give them
7:36 pm
criminal charges and jail time as a consequence for crossing so they've created this other system to just make it even worse to cross and make what this also does is it makes getting caught more of an issue before you might just get deported back but now if you're crossing and you get lost to turn yourself in might mean spending six months in a jail or six months in a prison and so the consequences are just higher and it's harder to do because there's more in force and it's just really set up to make people suffer.
7:37 pm
when they see. these humanitarians out on the trails try to educate them. because these are people that are coming from different parts of the country. believe in the narrative the organization is putting or you're going to be helping people you know survive going through the desert. when you run in and talk to some of these people sometimes your head just one sticks load from the mentality of the thought process. there's a water drop up here probably another half mile which is a mazing because that's a long way for them to carry that much water it's probably in from the truck
7:38 pm
probably and almost a mile away and. he gets steeper than this to get to it and that's the farthest i've ever seen him carry water in a wooden wing goal up there but. i'm sure there's water sitting there the usually of water they're gay to read their food in. so. it's a bit of a sling you know where it will hike in and enjoying the beautiful day will run into one of their water drops and sit down and they have individually wrapped meals. you know. they're old wars in that the older stuff like that can be the most and. i want the. british really get our rate when somebody calls it
7:39 pm
a no man's land they believe that their ranch is their answer and they don't believe that their federal government is taking. responsibility for their security like they would for anywhere else in the country. who was always away a lot of times for everybody else so response time for the sheriff for the border patrol or even the military is a problem. our excerpt from one of those killed let's won't go. he told rangers you're good have to protect yourself do not count on the sheriff can't get there of our and if you are in trouble it is going to take me an hour to get there half an hour to get it or you're going to be able to take care of yourself.
7:40 pm
here is on it is a typical as far as most of the states are concerned we have would be called open carry law or you can carry a firearm full time anywhere in the state of arizona if there are you doing. there are you did you know that yes you do. realize that not going to be a lot of. most people won't do it in highly populated areas like phoenix or tucson but here in rural areas like in tombstone basically the only people who carry a gun when. here are kids in high school. there was a lot of different gun manufacturers but this became one of the most popular firearms it's time to cold single action army and this is what i carry and. the only thing i shoot with now is blanks. when i get into a gun fight occasionally and it's just fine it's fine.
7:41 pm
already lived through it all right now lots of lives. down. that was weird as. we both read it more gunfight. redbird. five minutes. more. or. off. or you have to understand that the white man was an invader in their territorial issues to be nothing but criminals or patches especially down here and of course mexicans in southern arizona when ford was part of mexico. cowboys and indians the mexicans they all just ran back and forth across the border
7:42 pm
pretty much all the time i mean there were organized military on my skin science but for the most part. the borders really. which also was a large part of the problem with the cowboys gang is that they would go across the border steal cattle and sell it and vice versa. you are watching. your. local. brings peace to the chicken hawks. to new socks credit tell you that. you are not cool enough.
7:43 pm
along. with. rejected tonight is a comedy new song is it not de frank by the corporate media. would you go after the corporations that just more your live profit over people at every turn. redact it's not for me it's like medicine it's like a cancer joke from all the stress that the news puts you under redacted tonight is a show where you can go to cry from laughing about the stuff that's going on in the world as opposed to just regular crying we're going to find out what the corporate mainstream media is not telling you about how we're going to filter it through some satirical comedic lenses to make it more digestible that's what we do every week
7:44 pm
7:46 pm
the danger element is that. they're not the people who run the live drugs they're all cartels and. they're not going to give up and that's where the danger for ranchers is is you know we have to be smart we're not. the majority the ranchers are going out and catching drug runners. a little we don't want to get killed. so we're smart enough to either turn our i don't turn my head i go. we've advocated. for the last ten years that border patrol should. hire. veterans because they're trained and. it wouldn't be that hard to convert a soldier to a border but. they won't do it. and you know border patrol is their federal agents
7:47 pm
but they're civilians that right there that's a problem. in order to control the border you have to have a military officer and border patrol doesn't. really. scan for radio traffic. trying to find. where they're talking. so we can listen. i took an oath when i first joined the military. and that oath doesn't expire.
7:48 pm
so when my military service ended you know i did a lot of other public service jobs things like that. but this this is a huge huge problem and. being. our government having things the way they are these guys can't effectively do their job beyond a certain point. i figured you know what i've got some decent knowledge of guys decent training when i come out here and give them a hand. the right way and. i think the issue of categorizing people into good and bad people can be really
7:49 pm
problematic because you know somebody who is carrying drugs across the border might be doing that just to pay to get across if you don't have any money that's an easy way that somebody can pay for their trip they can carry drugs across. i think also depending on where you were born if i were born in sonora. might be the only job opportunity i have the only way that i can make money might be to work as a guide through the leading people through the desert or carrying drugs through the desert that might be the only opportunity so i don't think it's that people wake up one day and decide they want to do this bad thing. we had already seen people crossing we didn't have as much surveillance back that people came across more freely and stopped in for food. but i wasn't really aware of all the deaths were going on because it wasn't really
7:50 pm
publicized very much. and then i met valerie was an artist and moved into the area and she had some big dogs and she would go out walking with her dogs and while she was out there she started finding all these. artifacts we call them these backpacks filled with personal items everything you know prayer books rosaries clothing lot of family pictures and letters very personal stuff so we started picking them up. and it was actually her idea to do a large memorial to what was happening to the people that. were just falling by the wayside and nobody was really paying attention to them. we decided to focus on the mothers that are left behind to really emphasize. the
7:51 pm
sadness of families being torn apart and so we came up with a list mothers project. we were going to do three we were going to do a lot of just that we're going to really be going to do one figure for every ten people that have. realised how many have died so we decided to do one hundred. turns out to was way more than that so we did one figure for every thousand and we ended up with three at that point it was over three thousand people at that point in two thousand and three so we decided that if we we used the car thing to make the paper it would have the d.n.a. of the cross because the running they're scared they're tired they're thirsty and all this being poured out into their clothing and so we set out this way the others will be made out of the same essence as the people that they're representing.
7:53 pm
7:54 pm
two so he was the first one these two brian terry was in two thousand and ten in the liz i v was in two thousand and twelve so there's more of this being killed and these guys were killed by gunfire those other ones have been run over. all different other types of death being still with boulders from the fence or other. but these are the ones who are killed by gunfire there's dozens upon dozens of been killed here in the past. ten years. but both doesn't. because they don't tell. and so. we have them to one left over for it's going to have a good. i'm
7:58 pm
we. don't know the. mad mad man a man. called the feeling of freedom to. everyone in the world should experience for me and you'll get it out of the old old. old according to just. look up the modern world cup i am sure there are i. there's a real irony going. on in a lamp think i'm responsible for boys and the people in the us always well that's what it was always it's an interesting new way of dealing with baltimore area now wholesale surveillance you feel you have already in while resume and you saw this
7:59 pm
in the past and trump has used the social media site and while i always thought my story goes it's garbage real genuine some. i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta emails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing planned three months for the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied that the n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale balance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally
8:00 pm
important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable. was was. was. jeff sessions known to prendes as mr magoo years ago raised. over the past even his friends call him that over the past month he has set out on a quest to reinvigorate a war on the american people he has asked congress for permission to prosecute medical cannabis suppliers who are abiding by their state's laws.
