Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, Luck and load. The Michael
Verie Show is on the air. I detected.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Of Afghan nationals who end up in this country who
engage in criminal activity. And an Afghan national has been
arrested in the state of Texas for making a terrorist
threat a post by Lieutenant Chris Olivares, who was a
big shot with the Texas Department of Public Safety. The
(00:53):
Texas DPS worked alongside DHS, Department of Homeland Security, and
other federal agencies and local agencies to help arrest the
Afghan national who made that terroristic threat. Lieutenant Olivars, thank
you for joining the show again. We appreciate that what
exactly happened here.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
By Good morning Michael and ls of the morning to
your listeners. You know this really shows just what you know,
great police work, does you know, coming together working with
our local and federal law enforcement agencies, gathering intelligence and
being able to prevent a terroristic attack that was coordinated
by this Afghan national where he posted a video on
(01:33):
social media where he was targeting the Fort Wood, Texas
area and making a bomb. And really really tell I
think it really really shows, you know, underscores, you know
that we face more threats now than we've ever faced before,
and a lot of us to do with the fact
that you know, we dealt with an unprecedented serge at
the board of the past four years and not knowing
exactly who is coming across the border, especially you know,
(01:56):
those from adversarial countries that do want to cause harm
to our country and being released into the country. Now
having to track some of these immigrants down, and this
is a perfect example of what could have happened, what
really could have happened if it wasn't more our DPS
personnel working together with the FBI and DHS and being
able to locate this Afghan national and arrest tempt a
(02:17):
terroristic threat. And one thing I do want to add
is that we're taking a proactive approach when it comes
to these type of matters that affect public safety. Just
most recently in September, we created and developed a Homeland
Security Division within the Texas Department of Public Safety. And
what that does is brings all of our intelligence services
together under one unified command and provides a more robust
(02:39):
intelligence apparatus where we have more services working together, providing
real time information to the field, to the agents to
the troopers to be able to stop events like this
and arrest criminals that do want to cause harm to
our state.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
What do we know about this guy, this Afghan national house,
How did he get here? How long had he been here?
Was he part of a terror cell? Did he arrive
a bad guy based on activities already or or was
he under the throes of one of these m moms
that operate on American soil.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
You know, that's one thing that we don't know. And
it kind of goes back to what I've always talked
about years ago, right when you when you allow people
to come into the country illegally, you don't vet them,
meaning you don't do any background checks, any type of
finger prints, any type of you know, being able to
gather information from some of these other countries because they
don't share information with us as far as any type
of terroristic threats or terroristic database. We have our own
(03:37):
terroristic database, but again, some of these countries don't share
information on some of these individuals that are coming across.
This particular immigrant, this Afghan national was came across the
border and was given status in twenty twenty two by
the previous administration as part of their Welcome Allies operation
and because of that, Again, we don't know exactly what
(03:58):
radicalized this, you know, this particular digual, what caused him
to want to cause harm to our country and make
this terroristic threat. But again we take it very serious
and we have a zero calls for that. Our governor,
Governor Rabbit has made a very care as well that
we're going to prioritize public safety and we're going to
locate and track people down that are making these type
of threats and that do want to cause harm to
our great state.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I wanted to ask you about another post you put up.
It's actually your pinned post, but every time I go
look you up, it's from a year ago. I'd like
to know if this is still happening, and have you
talk a bit about it.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You talked about you said watch.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
An unaccompanied two year old child from El salvad Or
explained she arrived in the US by herself and that
her parents were in the US. The child had a
piece of paper with a phone number and a name.
This morning, Texas CPS encountered group of two hundred and
eleven illegal aliens in Maverick County. Among the group, were
sixty unaccompanied minors ages two to seventeen, and six special
(04:58):
interest immigrants from Molly and Angola. Lieutenant Olivars, Texas Department
of Public Safety. I've seen video, I've talked to other
law enforcement. I've talked to Bill Malusion of Fox who
has covered this beat for quite some time, and the
disturbing aspect of a legal immigration, Perhaps the most disturbing
is children who appear to be trafficked to this country
(05:21):
at the earliest youngest of ages. Your thoughts is that
still going on and how bad is that?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
You know? I keep that post penned as a reminder
of what we faced, you know, during those last four years,
and just as you mentioned, just the travesty and devastation
when we talk about children, they are the most vulnerable population.
However you feel about immigration, the fact of the matter
is that, you know, we were experiencing as a state
police agency. I'm a company child coming across that border
(05:48):
by themselves and not knowing exactly whether we're going to
end up in two days, we do not know exactly
where they ended up. And we're heard stories and we've
seen reports on some of these children being found, you know,
in sex trafficking camp and used for you know, hard labor.
That is that is the reality of the situation. When
you allow millions and millions people to come across the border,
(06:08):
to include on in company children. We have not seen
that now with the new administration, and I will say
that is one thing that I am very I guess
would say police to know that we have an administration
has really been cracking down and really now we have
immigration at an all time low, and with that, you're
going to stop the flow of unincompanied children. And now
(06:29):
the problem is where do we find these children? What
can we do to find these to them that were
released that came across the border the last four years,
that had been wasted the country. Now we got to
find them. We've got to find them, reunite them with
their families, and again have some type of permanent solutions
in place for the next four years eight years. You know,
That's the one thing that we got to think about too,
is that, you know, immigration has always been an ongoing cycle,
(06:52):
and we want to make sure that we put some
type of policies in place at the federal level. That's
where our lawmakers to come into play, so we can
stop this from happening again, but again as a stark
reminder of the devastation and trategies that we were dealing
with the last four years when we just had this
unpresident to serve at the border.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know, there is the purely American interest which we
should always serve first of protecting our people and including
our own children. But then there is at the next level,
the universality of decency, particularly as it relates to children,
and the idea that this is part of a trafficking
(07:32):
ring not just of drugs, but of human beings to
be used as sex objects. And we've seen this in
case after case. It's as old as mankind. People can
be evil with regard to their depravity, and it bothers
me on a level. It's almost unspeakable, having children, myself
and a house full of nieces and nephews over the
(07:52):
weekend who were about this age. It's unfathomable. It is
so disturbing. Chris Olivar is with the Texas Department of
Public Safety. As always, sir, thank you for your service
and thanks for making time to talk to us about this.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Keep up the great work, Yes, sir, thank you so much,
appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Moan. Did you know that Catholic mass is just Catholic
force divided by Catholic acceleration?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Sir, please do not call him the fat pick. See
I'm trying to be nice. Don't call him a fat pick.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Getting reports that there was an officer involved shooting just
a few moments ago. The best I can tell from
some other units in the area, the bad guy was
robbing a check cashing facility. Well, I tell you what,
(08:50):
of all the places you might not mind owning, but
you don't want to work check cashing facility pretty high
up there. You look at the number of shootings that
occur at a check cashing facility, It is not good.
The bad guy was robbing the facility because they know
(09:13):
there's cash inside.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So what are we at? Early nine o'clock so this was.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
In the eight am hour. Bad guy takes a hostage
when he exits. Unclear why he did that, because you
don't need a hostage if you're going to jump in
your car and drive away. You need a hostage if
you're I guess, planning to grab their car and have
(09:46):
them drive you, or if the cops have spotted you
already and you feel like that's your exit. I think
you've watched Dog Day Afternoon too many times. It's not
going to end well for you. You're not getting away
when you have a hostage. The numbers bear that out.
(10:06):
So apparently the bad guy exits the cash check cashing
facility with the hostage and then pushes her to the
side and engages in a shootout with the officer, which
beleads me to believe that he realizes the cops are
on him. Thank goodness he pushed her aside because she's
(10:30):
presumably an innocent bystander. In all of this, the bad
guy has been wounded. We don't know if he's dead yet.
We hope he is, but we don't know. He's been
transported to the hospital. Another officer, who was not very
close to the scene but heard from another officer, said
(10:53):
that he believes the suspect is not badly wounded and
will survive, which is unfortunate. But that was the story
that just occurred. So let's talk about the shooting of
the National guardsmen by the Afghan national who was brought
to this country. What does America First mean as a
(11:19):
branch of the Make America Great Again movement? It means
that Americans were watching for years and years and years,
and they knew something wasn't right. Their neighborhood was changing.
They lived in Minneapolis. They noticed that all the Somalis
(11:43):
were moving in. A few here, a few there, and
in short order, the school teachers were Somali. They noticed
that the mayor was making a big deal we have
Somali police officers. And they noticed that there were welfare
(12:03):
centers cropping up everywhere that were serving Somali citizens in Somali.
They noticed radio stations pobbing up a newspapers, and slowly
but surely, it felt like people who'd been there for
some period of time were moving out and being replaced
(12:25):
by Somalis. And Americans started noticing that this was happening
with pockets of people here and there, and just like
any people throughout the history of mankind, there was a
sense of wait a second, this a little place that
I call home. I'm an outcast.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
These people don't speak my language. These people tend to
their own, they show preference to their own. They don't
like me, They're hostile toward me. What happened to the
melting pot? Well, when one of these inti occurs, the
National gu guardsmen being shot is a great example. It
(13:06):
takes something like this to get people to focus on
a problem like this.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But let's unravel how this happens exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
There is the story again and again and again of
the local and Iraqi, Afghanistan and Vietnam for that matter,
where a person assisted in one of ours to get
through the streets to cover a wound.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And we respect that, and I can even respect the fact.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That that person can't continue to live there when we're
gone because they don't have our protection.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But why must they always be brought here?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
If that is on behalf of humanity that we go
into these countries, which we claim it is, why can't
the rest of humanity bear the burden? And it is
a burden of bringing these people into your society. And
a lot of Americans are scared to speak out because
that'll make you a bad person.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And you will be scared to speak.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Out until the moment that it won't be your fear
it keeps you from speaking out.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You be outnumbered. You will be the outcast now.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Lest we speak out against it and be considered a
bad name. See, once you get called a bad name
long enough, you stop caring and that's the greatest power.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
It's a superpower in my business. And it's also it's
also a calming influence.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So on the issue of the Afghan nationals, why would
Democrat Sylvia Garcia and Republican Dan Crenshaw pushed so hard
to get these people relocated to Harris County?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Why?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Well, money for it. There's money for the local government.
So you win favor with local politicians that you get
a few million dollars. Now, I know what you're thinking, Yeah,
but at what costs Michael to bring him in. These
people don't care. It's not going to be their neighbor.
They can assure they can assure themselves of that, because
(15:20):
if it were that have am moved. So Dan Crenshaw's
come under fire for this. He's been heavily criticized for this.
So his response, because remember politicians are never going to
take what you say and go you're right, his response is,
I served in Afghanistan and by the way, he did
by all accounts, honorably, and if you will do me
(15:42):
one favor over the next six months, I will ask
that it be this not criticize the fact that the
man lost his eye in war. He could be the
worst congressman in the history of mankind, it is still
not appropriate to call him I Patch McCain. Can we
not get over the fact that he wears an eyepatch
(16:03):
and understand how he got it? If he was missing
an arm, would we make a joke about that? But
I understand those people helped you in Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Don't bring them to my neighborhood. I get to say that.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
For those of you who over the years have said,
aren't you a Delbert McClinton fan because he went on
a Delbert McClinton country music cruise, I never was. For
some reason. If you say you're not a fan of
something you're unfamiliar with their work.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That is perceived as a slight of the person. It's not.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
The good news is there are a number of great
artists in every medium, and you can't possibly get to
all of them. My problem is I get bogged down.
I find something I like. Can I stick with that
for a while. You can't really master someone's work, but
you really want to understand it more than a superficial level.
(16:58):
So Delbert Mclinton one of those that I just never
got into, never came across I knew the name. I
knew a song or two, but I think that's a
particularly good one. So I have a friend who sent
me an email a couple of days ago, and he said,
I recently reread nineteen eighty four, which, of course we
(17:20):
were all assigned in high school.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
No judgment if you didn't read it carefully.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I recently reread it nineteen eighty four in Fahrenheit four
or five to one, and I wanted another old dystopian
story that feels like today's headlines. Well, I found it,
The Camp of the Saints. The Camp of the Saints,
published nineteen seventy three. It tells the story of a
(17:47):
million poor migrants who sail from India to France on dilapidated,
overcrowded ships. The West refuses to stop them because it
is afraid of being called racist. Politicians freeze, the media
calls the migrants victims.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
And attacks anyone who complains.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Celebrities and churches celebrate the arrival, and regular citizens who
protest because they clearly see what's happening are silenced or
even arrested. Spoiler alert, France collapses without a fight, and
the rest of the West soon follows. Some on the
left call it racists, far right nonsense, but the book's
(18:30):
core warning feels painfully current in twenty twenty five. Guilt
combined with fear of being labeled a racist, can paralyze
and eventually destroy a civilization. I listened to the audiobook
on a road trip, but I've ordered to print version
so I can have it when it eventually gets banned
for its brutal honesty. Be careful you buy the English translation.
(18:52):
The original is in French. The book is called Camp
of the Saints. So I responded and back and forth,
and I got the following. Some of the quotes from
the book mentioned in my original email remind me of
the Dan Crenshaw types and are extremely relevant to today's
news stories.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
This individual is in Dan Crenshaw's congressional district. Here are
a few of those quotes. Quote.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
When the time comes and the people of the West
see the last chance fleet approaching, they will stretch out
their white hands, not to push it away, but to
help it land, and that will be the end of
Western civilization. My friend writes this one sounds like it
could be a tweet from Dan Crenshaw himself. Quote, my brothers,
(19:41):
these are the poor, the humble, the meek. They are
Christ himself coming to us across the sea. We must
welcome them with open arms, with love, with everything we have.
Give them your homes, your food, your wives, if necessary.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Sounded crazy in nineteen seventy three, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Other great quotes about the moral paralysis of the West
and the results. Quote to fire would be racist, To
turn them back, to turn back the fleet would be inhuman.
To let them land would be suicide. So we did nothing,
and that was the most human thing of all. Another quote,
(20:27):
in the name of compassion, in the name of humanity,
we will open our arms to them all, and we
will die. And finally France died that night, not with
a bang, but with a whimper of compassion. I'm always
amazed when someone is caught with their hand in the
cookie jar, when the public reaction is visceral and vociferous,
(20:55):
because they're not simply going to say, you're right, I
made a huge mistake. Forgive me, won't you. They're going
to defend, they're going to deny, they're going to deflect.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
So I saw that.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Dan Crenshaw said, I served in Afghanistan, so first you've
got the service.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I think it's fair to say.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
This show loves and respects our veterans, supports them not
only while fighting, but when they come home in the
many needs that they have. I also don't think that
service in uniform means that you can come back to
(21:40):
the United States, get elected to Congress, and bring a
bunch of Afghan nationals and push them into our neighborhoods.
This is very different than the Vietnamese resettlement. Very different. Indeed,
a number of other veterans have taken a different approach,
(22:04):
from Rob O'Neil to many more Sean Ryan and these
folks have said, I too, served in Afghanistan, and I
will tell you that this is a culture that is
incompatible with American life. Oh, for shame, can we say
that we're all the same the world over? You can't
(22:25):
possibly say that people are different. That's mean that'll hurt
someone's feelings. But is it true? What is this concept
of BATCHI there's so many military members talk about of
Afghan military figures bringing little boys into their room and
(22:45):
chaining them to the bed and raping them anally for
long periods of time until they trade for another Are
they all making this up? Because some pretty well respected
veterans have claimed that that is commonplace. We're not talking
about a random guy here. We're not talking about the
Epstein files with just a few hundred one thousand.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
We're talking culture. And that's only one If that is true,
is that compatible?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Does somebody leave that and come to this country and
all of a sudden fit in.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
On the street corner boy? It is a dangerous notion.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
To believe that every person across the world is the same,
that they share your same values, that they live the
way you do. I don't think many people are scared, intimidated, worried, distrustful, hateful,
bias prejudice toward another person because they have a different
skin color or language. We all agree that would that
(23:48):
would violate the Western canon. But we would also all agree,
and when we don't, we're dead. If you have traveled
that there are people in other countries who have different values.
(24:08):
In some countries, the rape of little girls is completely
acceptable because their Holy book says it is because their
quote unquote profit did it himself. Now, I would expect
that if I criticize the Malaysian soccer team, other than
(24:29):
a few disparate voices of descent nobody in this country,
from Beaumont or Ballinger or Baton Rouge would say, oh,
you shouldn't be criticizing a Malaysian soccer team. But what
if I were to say, I find it disgusting that
(24:49):
in what is supposed to be a holy book a
person referred to as the prophet engages in the rape
of a child, and it is rape if it is
a child.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Those are Western values.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The moment at which you are uncomfortable, We're not talking
about imposing our Western values on those countries, but the
moment you are uncomfortable defending your own value is the
moment your culture is dead. To their credit, the Muslims
of the Middle East do not deny what they believe.
(25:31):
They do not pander, and increasingly they're recording it and
sending it out Death to America chance on the streets
of Michigan and other places across the country. I don't
know how many Americans would go into a country where
they made up two three percent of the population and
start declaring death to that country, and when questioned, are criticized,
(25:55):
making threats demanding, hey, you should turn on your neighbors here, Frenchmen, Englishmen, Czechs, Danish, Swedes, Norwegians.
Sho you turn on your neighbors because they don't like
what we're saying, They're not good people. There has been
throughout history a natural kinship with our own, our own tribe,
(26:19):
if you will, whether those be Tutons or Normans, Irish Spaniards,
they've always been degrees of kinship based on shared religion.
And if you look at the number of we'll call
them white people for the purposes of ease of conversation
(26:43):
as a very loose term here, if you look at
how many great wars, by great, I mean massive, if
not wonderful, how many great wars were conducted between Protestants
and Catholics.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Oh what a world when.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That was the battle. But battle it was, and it
was fierce. Lands were plundered, people slaughtered, kings deposed, armies routed,
cities raised over people who all looked the same some cases,
(27:18):
speak the same language. If you look at the rift
between the people of the Irish Isle, Belfast and Dublin,
for instance, vicious.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You can't tell them apart.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
The level of hatred they had for each other, not
based on race, not based on language, based on religion.
The Protestants of Northern Ireland and the Catholics of Ireland.
Also based on nationality, the Irish one of the island
to be Irish, the Northern Ireland Ulsters identified as Englishmen,
(27:58):
and they were willing to kill each other over it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Vicious, vicious stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
It is natural throughout history to have conflict on the
basis of differences and to identify with one's own whatever
that may be. And that is as true among people
who we would call black or brown as it is
between whites and blacks, or.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Whites and browns.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
What a small worldview to think that the white American
is a terrible person that he doesn't want to hand
his job over to someone who just came here from
another country on a work visa, To think that he
should suffer being the victim of a crime to a
person who's a different color, because well, supposedly one hundred
and sixty years ago the roles would have been reversed.
(28:49):
But what are we to make of countries who are
the worst of the worst. If I made a list
of countries where you least want to get dropped down,
it was the most backward, the most violent, the most unjust.
You wouldn't simply discover or suffer deprivation. You would suffer
(29:12):
rape females and males. You would suffer violation, you would
suffer torture and death with absolutely no means of precourse,
no opportunity, no sense of fairness. You would say, wow,
I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't want to
(29:35):
live in Albania. It ain't that bad. I don't want
to live in Malaysia or Indonesia, maybe Ecuador or Peru,
even Honduras and l Salvador. Before El Salvador's current leadership,
at least they made a pretense of trying to protect people.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
They just couldn't control it from the gangs. If you
were make a list of the worst or the worst
of the worst.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
You would come up with Somalia Afghanistan. But actually one
of their great assets is nobody ever visits there, and
the Western mind can't wrap itself around how bad it is. Well,
we like to think of things being bad in countries
because they have a bad government, but the people are good.
(30:26):
People are all kind and wonderful if they were just
given a chance.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
But is that true.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Or at some point do we notice that it's not
the government that is the fault. Well, the government is
fraudulent and corrupt and all of those things. That the
culture is not the same as ours, that they do
not share our cultural norms. And isn't it interesting that
people who will tell you women are equal to men,
they deserve every opportunity. What about in countries where they're
(30:57):
rape from childhood, can't show their face, can't drive, can't work,
and can't vote.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Why you just don't like brown people.
It's that time time, time, Luck and load. The Michael
Verie Show is on the air. I detected.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Of Afghan nationals who end up in this country who
engage in criminal activity. And an Afghan national has been
arrested in the state of Texas for making a terrorist
threat a post by Lieutenant Chris Olivares, who was a
big shot with the Texas Department of Public Safety. The
(00:53):
Texas DPS worked alongside DHS, Department of Homeland Security, and
other federal agencies and local agencies to help arrest the
Afghan national who made that terroristic threat. Lieutenant Olivars, thank
you for joining the show again. We appreciate that what
exactly happened here.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
By Good morning Michael and ls of the morning to
your listeners. You know this really shows just what you know,
great police work, does you know, coming together working with
our local and federal law enforcement agencies, gathering intelligence and
being able to prevent a terroristic attack that was coordinated
by this Afghan national where he posted a video on
(01:33):
social media where he was targeting the Fort Wood, Texas
area and making a bomb. And really really tell I
think it really really shows, you know, underscores, you know
that we face more threats now than we've ever faced before,
and a lot of us to do with the fact
that you know, we dealt with an unprecedented serge at
the board of the past four years and not knowing
exactly who is coming across the border, especially you know,
(01:56):
those from adversarial countries that do want to cause harm
to our country and being released into the country. Now
having to track some of these immigrants down, and this
is a perfect example of what could have happened, what
really could have happened if it wasn't more our DPS
personnel working together with the FBI and DHS and being
able to locate this Afghan national and arrest tempt a
(02:17):
terroristic threat. And one thing I do want to add
is that we're taking a proactive approach when it comes
to these type of matters that affect public safety. Just
most recently in September, we created and developed a Homeland
Security Division within the Texas Department of Public Safety. And
what that does is brings all of our intelligence services
together under one unified command and provides a more robust
(02:39):
intelligence apparatus where we have more services working together, providing
real time information to the field, to the agents to
the troopers to be able to stop events like this
and arrest criminals that do want to cause harm to
our state.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
What do we know about this guy, this Afghan national house,
How did he get here? How long had he been here?
Was he part of a terror cell? Did he arrive
a bad guy based on activities already or or was
he under the throes of one of these m moms
that operate on American soil.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
You know, that's one thing that we don't know. And
it kind of goes back to what I've always talked
about years ago, right when you when you allow people
to come into the country illegally, you don't vet them,
meaning you don't do any background checks, any type of
finger prints, any type of you know, being able to
gather information from some of these other countries because they
don't share information with us as far as any type
of terroristic threats or terroristic database. We have our own
(03:37):
terroristic database, but again, some of these countries don't share
information on some of these individuals that are coming across.
This particular immigrant, this Afghan national was came across the
border and was given status in twenty twenty two by
the previous administration as part of their Welcome Allies operation
and because of that, Again, we don't know exactly what
(03:58):
radicalized this, you know, this particular digual, what caused him
to want to cause harm to our country and make
this terroristic threat. But again we take it very serious
and we have a zero calls for that. Our governor,
Governor Rabbit has made a very care as well that
we're going to prioritize public safety and we're going to
locate and track people down that are making these type
of threats and that do want to cause harm to
our great state.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I wanted to ask you about another post you put up.
It's actually your pinned post, but every time I go
look you up, it's from a year ago. I'd like
to know if this is still happening, and have you
talk a bit about it.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You talked about you said watch.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
An unaccompanied two year old child from El salvad Or
explained she arrived in the US by herself and that
her parents were in the US. The child had a
piece of paper with a phone number and a name.
This morning, Texas CPS encountered group of two hundred and
eleven illegal aliens in Maverick County. Among the group, were
sixty unaccompanied minors ages two to seventeen, and six special
(04:58):
interest immigrants from Molly and Angola. Lieutenant Olivars, Texas Department
of Public Safety. I've seen video, I've talked to other
law enforcement. I've talked to Bill Malusion of Fox who
has covered this beat for quite some time, and the
disturbing aspect of a legal immigration, Perhaps the most disturbing
is children who appear to be trafficked to this country
(05:21):
at the earliest youngest of ages. Your thoughts is that
still going on and how bad is that?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
You know? I keep that post penned as a reminder
of what we faced, you know, during those last four years,
and just as you mentioned, just the travesty and devastation
when we talk about children, they are the most vulnerable population.
However you feel about immigration, the fact of the matter
is that, you know, we were experiencing as a state
police agency. I'm a company child coming across that border
(05:48):
by themselves and not knowing exactly whether we're going to
end up in two days, we do not know exactly
where they ended up. And we're heard stories and we've
seen reports on some of these children being found, you know,
in sex trafficking camp and used for you know, hard labor.
That is that is the reality of the situation. When
you allow millions and millions people to come across the border,
(06:08):
to include on in company children. We have not seen
that now with the new administration, and I will say
that is one thing that I am very I guess
would say police to know that we have an administration
has really been cracking down and really now we have
immigration at an all time low, and with that, you're
going to stop the flow of unincompanied children. And now
(06:29):
the problem is where do we find these children? What
can we do to find these to them that were
released that came across the border the last four years,
that had been wasted the country. Now we got to
find them. We've got to find them, reunite them with
their families, and again have some type of permanent solutions
in place for the next four years eight years. You know,
That's the one thing that we got to think about too,
is that, you know, immigration has always been an ongoing cycle,
(06:52):
and we want to make sure that we put some
type of policies in place at the federal level. That's
where our lawmakers to come into play, so we can
stop this from happening again, but again as a stark
reminder of the devastation and trategies that we were dealing
with the last four years when we just had this
unpresident to serve at the border.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You know, there is the purely American interest which we
should always serve first of protecting our people and including
our own children. But then there is at the next level,
the universality of decency, particularly as it relates to children,
and the idea that this is part of a trafficking
(07:32):
ring not just of drugs, but of human beings to
be used as sex objects. And we've seen this in
case after case. It's as old as mankind. People can
be evil with regard to their depravity, and it bothers
me on a level. It's almost unspeakable, having children, myself
and a house full of nieces and nephews over the
(07:52):
weekend who were about this age. It's unfathomable. It is
so disturbing. Chris Olivar is with the Texas Department of
Public Safety. As always, sir, thank you for your service
and thanks for making time to talk to us about this.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Keep up the great work, Yes, sir, thank you so much,
appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Moan. Did you know that Catholic mass is just Catholic
force divided by Catholic acceleration?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Sir, please do not call him the fat pick. See
I'm trying to be nice. Don't call him a fat pick.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Getting reports that there was an officer involved shooting just
a few moments ago. The best I can tell from
some other units in the area, the bad guy was
robbing a check cashing facility. Well, I tell you what,
(08:50):
of all the places you might not mind owning, but
you don't want to work check cashing facility pretty high
up there. You look at the number of shootings that
occur at a check cashing facility, It is not good.
The bad guy was robbing the facility because they know
(09:13):
there's cash inside.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So what are we at? Early nine o'clock so this was.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
In the eight am hour. Bad guy takes a hostage
when he exits. Unclear why he did that, because you
don't need a hostage if you're going to jump in
your car and drive away. You need a hostage if
you're I guess, planning to grab their car and have
(09:46):
them drive you, or if the cops have spotted you
already and you feel like that's your exit. I think
you've watched Dog Day Afternoon too many times. It's not
going to end well for you. You're not getting away
when you have a hostage. The numbers bear that out.
(10:06):
So apparently the bad guy exits the cash check cashing
facility with the hostage and then pushes her to the
side and engages in a shootout with the officer, which
beleads me to believe that he realizes the cops are
on him. Thank goodness he pushed her aside because she's
(10:30):
presumably an innocent bystander. In all of this, the bad
guy has been wounded. We don't know if he's dead yet.
We hope he is, but we don't know. He's been
transported to the hospital. Another officer, who was not very
close to the scene but heard from another officer, said
(10:53):
that he believes the suspect is not badly wounded and
will survive, which is unfortunate. But that was the story
that just occurred. So let's talk about the shooting of
the National guardsmen by the Afghan national who was brought
to this country. What does America First mean as a
(11:19):
branch of the Make America Great Again movement? It means
that Americans were watching for years and years and years,
and they knew something wasn't right. Their neighborhood was changing.
They lived in Minneapolis. They noticed that all the Somalis
(11:43):
were moving in. A few here, a few there, and
in short order, the school teachers were Somali. They noticed
that the mayor was making a big deal we have
Somali police officers. And they noticed that there were welfare
(12:03):
centers cropping up everywhere that were serving Somali citizens in Somali.
They noticed radio stations pobbing up a newspapers, and slowly
but surely, it felt like people who'd been there for
some period of time were moving out and being replaced
(12:25):
by Somalis. And Americans started noticing that this was happening
with pockets of people here and there, and just like
any people throughout the history of mankind, there was a
sense of wait a second, this a little place that
I call home. I'm an outcast.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
These people don't speak my language. These people tend to
their own, they show preference to their own. They don't
like me, They're hostile toward me. What happened to the
melting pot? Well, when one of these inti occurs, the
National gu guardsmen being shot is a great example. It
(13:06):
takes something like this to get people to focus on
a problem like this.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But let's unravel how this happens exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
There is the story again and again and again of
the local and Iraqi, Afghanistan and Vietnam for that matter,
where a person assisted in one of ours to get
through the streets to cover a wound.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
And we respect that, and I can even respect the fact.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That that person can't continue to live there when we're
gone because they don't have our protection.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But why must they always be brought here?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
If that is on behalf of humanity that we go
into these countries, which we claim it is, why can't
the rest of humanity bear the burden? And it is
a burden of bringing these people into your society. And
a lot of Americans are scared to speak out because
that'll make you a bad person.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And you will be scared to speak.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Out until the moment that it won't be your fear
it keeps you from speaking out.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You be outnumbered. You will be the outcast now.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Lest we speak out against it and be considered a
bad name. See, once you get called a bad name
long enough, you stop caring and that's the greatest power.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
It's a superpower in my business. And it's also it's
also a calming influence.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So on the issue of the Afghan nationals, why would
Democrat Sylvia Garcia and Republican Dan Crenshaw pushed so hard
to get these people relocated to Harris County?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Why?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Well, money for it. There's money for the local government.
So you win favor with local politicians that you get
a few million dollars. Now, I know what you're thinking, Yeah,
but at what costs Michael to bring him in. These
people don't care. It's not going to be their neighbor.
They can assure they can assure themselves of that, because
(15:20):
if it were that have am moved. So Dan Crenshaw's
come under fire for this. He's been heavily criticized for this.
So his response, because remember politicians are never going to
take what you say and go you're right, his response is,
I served in Afghanistan and by the way, he did
by all accounts, honorably, and if you will do me
(15:42):
one favor over the next six months, I will ask
that it be this not criticize the fact that the
man lost his eye in war. He could be the
worst congressman in the history of mankind, it is still
not appropriate to call him I Patch McCain. Can we
not get over the fact that he wears an eyepatch
(16:03):
and understand how he got it? If he was missing
an arm, would we make a joke about that? But
I understand those people helped you in Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Don't bring them to my neighborhood. I get to say that.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
For those of you who over the years have said,
aren't you a Delbert McClinton fan because he went on
a Delbert McClinton country music cruise, I never was. For
some reason. If you say you're not a fan of
something you're unfamiliar with their work.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That is perceived as a slight of the person. It's not.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
The good news is there are a number of great
artists in every medium, and you can't possibly get to
all of them. My problem is I get bogged down.
I find something I like. Can I stick with that
for a while. You can't really master someone's work, but
you really want to understand it more than a superficial level.
(16:58):
So Delbert Mclinton one of those that I just never
got into, never came across I knew the name. I
knew a song or two, but I think that's a
particularly good one. So I have a friend who sent
me an email a couple of days ago, and he said,
I recently reread nineteen eighty four, which, of course we
(17:20):
were all assigned in high school.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
No judgment if you didn't read it carefully.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I recently reread it nineteen eighty four in Fahrenheit four
or five to one, and I wanted another old dystopian
story that feels like today's headlines. Well, I found it,
The Camp of the Saints. The Camp of the Saints,
published nineteen seventy three. It tells the story of a
(17:47):
million poor migrants who sail from India to France on dilapidated,
overcrowded ships. The West refuses to stop them because it
is afraid of being called racist. Politicians freeze, the media
calls the migrants victims.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
And attacks anyone who complains.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Celebrities and churches celebrate the arrival, and regular citizens who
protest because they clearly see what's happening are silenced or
even arrested. Spoiler alert, France collapses without a fight, and
the rest of the West soon follows. Some on the
left call it racists, far right nonsense, but the book's
(18:30):
core warning feels painfully current in twenty twenty five. Guilt
combined with fear of being labeled a racist, can paralyze
and eventually destroy a civilization. I listened to the audiobook
on a road trip, but I've ordered to print version
so I can have it when it eventually gets banned
for its brutal honesty. Be careful you buy the English translation.
(18:52):
The original is in French. The book is called Camp
of the Saints. So I responded and back and forth,
and I got the following. Some of the quotes from
the book mentioned in my original email remind me of
the Dan Crenshaw types and are extremely relevant to today's
news stories.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
This individual is in Dan Crenshaw's congressional district. Here are
a few of those quotes. Quote.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
When the time comes and the people of the West
see the last chance fleet approaching, they will stretch out
their white hands, not to push it away, but to
help it land, and that will be the end of
Western civilization. My friend writes this one sounds like it
could be a tweet from Dan Crenshaw himself. Quote, my brothers,
(19:41):
these are the poor, the humble, the meek. They are
Christ himself coming to us across the sea. We must
welcome them with open arms, with love, with everything we have.
Give them your homes, your food, your wives, if necessary.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Sounded crazy in nineteen seventy three, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Other great quotes about the moral paralysis of the West
and the results. Quote to fire would be racist, To
turn them back, to turn back the fleet would be inhuman.
To let them land would be suicide. So we did nothing,
and that was the most human thing of all. Another quote,
(20:27):
in the name of compassion, in the name of humanity,
we will open our arms to them all, and we
will die. And finally France died that night, not with
a bang, but with a whimper of compassion. I'm always
amazed when someone is caught with their hand in the
cookie jar, when the public reaction is visceral and vociferous,
(20:55):
because they're not simply going to say, you're right, I
made a huge mistake. Forgive me, won't you. They're going
to defend, they're going to deny, they're going to deflect.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
So I saw that.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Dan Crenshaw said, I served in Afghanistan, so first you've
got the service.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I think it's fair to say.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
This show loves and respects our veterans, supports them not
only while fighting, but when they come home in the
many needs that they have. I also don't think that
service in uniform means that you can come back to
(21:40):
the United States, get elected to Congress, and bring a
bunch of Afghan nationals and push them into our neighborhoods.
This is very different than the Vietnamese resettlement. Very different. Indeed,
a number of other veterans have taken a different approach,
(22:04):
from Rob O'Neil to many more Sean Ryan and these
folks have said, I too, served in Afghanistan, and I
will tell you that this is a culture that is
incompatible with American life. Oh, for shame, can we say
that we're all the same the world over? You can't
(22:25):
possibly say that people are different. That's mean that'll hurt
someone's feelings. But is it true? What is this concept
of BATCHI there's so many military members talk about of
Afghan military figures bringing little boys into their room and
(22:45):
chaining them to the bed and raping them anally for
long periods of time until they trade for another Are
they all making this up? Because some pretty well respected
veterans have claimed that that is commonplace. We're not talking
about a random guy here. We're not talking about the
Epstein files with just a few hundred one thousand.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
We're talking culture. And that's only one If that is true,
is that compatible?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Does somebody leave that and come to this country and
all of a sudden fit in.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
On the street corner boy? It is a dangerous notion.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
To believe that every person across the world is the same,
that they share your same values, that they live the
way you do. I don't think many people are scared, intimidated, worried, distrustful, hateful,
bias prejudice toward another person because they have a different
skin color or language. We all agree that would that
(23:48):
would violate the Western canon. But we would also all agree,
and when we don't, we're dead. If you have traveled
that there are people in other countries who have different values.
(24:08):
In some countries, the rape of little girls is completely
acceptable because their Holy book says it is because their
quote unquote profit did it himself. Now, I would expect
that if I criticize the Malaysian soccer team, other than
(24:29):
a few disparate voices of descent nobody in this country,
from Beaumont or Ballinger or Baton Rouge would say, oh,
you shouldn't be criticizing a Malaysian soccer team. But what
if I were to say, I find it disgusting that
(24:49):
in what is supposed to be a holy book a
person referred to as the prophet engages in the rape
of a child, and it is rape if it is
a child.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Those are Western values.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The moment at which you are uncomfortable, We're not talking
about imposing our Western values on those countries, but the
moment you are uncomfortable defending your own value is the
moment your culture is dead. To their credit, the Muslims
of the Middle East do not deny what they believe.
(25:31):
They do not pander, and increasingly they're recording it and
sending it out Death to America chance on the streets
of Michigan and other places across the country. I don't
know how many Americans would go into a country where
they made up two three percent of the population and
start declaring death to that country, and when questioned, are criticized,
(25:55):
making threats demanding, hey, you should turn on your neighbors here, Frenchmen, Englishmen, Czechs, Danish, Swedes, Norwegians.
Sho you turn on your neighbors because they don't like
what we're saying, They're not good people. There has been
throughout history a natural kinship with our own, our own tribe,
(26:19):
if you will, whether those be Tutons or Normans, Irish Spaniards,
they've always been degrees of kinship based on shared religion.
And if you look at the number of we'll call
them white people for the purposes of ease of conversation
(26:43):
as a very loose term here, if you look at
how many great wars, by great, I mean massive, if
not wonderful, how many great wars were conducted between Protestants
and Catholics.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Oh what a world when.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That was the battle. But battle it was, and it
was fierce. Lands were plundered, people slaughtered, kings deposed, armies routed,
cities raised over people who all looked the same some cases,
(27:18):
speak the same language. If you look at the rift
between the people of the Irish Isle, Belfast and Dublin,
for instance, vicious.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You can't tell them apart.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
The level of hatred they had for each other, not
based on race, not based on language, based on religion.
The Protestants of Northern Ireland and the Catholics of Ireland.
Also based on nationality, the Irish one of the island
to be Irish, the Northern Ireland Ulsters identified as Englishmen,
(27:58):
and they were willing to kill each other over it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Vicious, vicious stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
It is natural throughout history to have conflict on the
basis of differences and to identify with one's own whatever
that may be. And that is as true among people
who we would call black or brown as it is
between whites and blacks, or.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Whites and browns.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
What a small worldview to think that the white American
is a terrible person that he doesn't want to hand
his job over to someone who just came here from
another country on a work visa, To think that he
should suffer being the victim of a crime to a
person who's a different color, because well, supposedly one hundred
and sixty years ago the roles would have been reversed.
(28:49):
But what are we to make of countries who are
the worst of the worst. If I made a list
of countries where you least want to get dropped down,
it was the most backward, the most violent, the most unjust.
You wouldn't simply discover or suffer deprivation. You would suffer
(29:12):
rape females and males. You would suffer violation, you would
suffer torture and death with absolutely no means of precourse,
no opportunity, no sense of fairness. You would say, wow,
I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't want to
(29:35):
live in Albania. It ain't that bad. I don't want
to live in Malaysia or Indonesia, maybe Ecuador or Peru,
even Honduras and l Salvador. Before El Salvador's current leadership,
at least they made a pretense of trying to protect people.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
They just couldn't control it from the gangs. If you
were make a list of the worst or the worst
of the worst.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
You would come up with Somalia Afghanistan. But actually one
of their great assets is nobody ever visits there, and
the Western mind can't wrap itself around how bad it is. Well,
we like to think of things being bad in countries
because they have a bad government, but the people are good.
(30:26):
People are all kind and wonderful if they were just
given a chance.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
But is that true.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Or at some point do we notice that it's not
the government that is the fault. Well, the government is
fraudulent and corrupt and all of those things. That the
culture is not the same as ours, that they do
not share our cultural norms. And isn't it interesting that
people who will tell you women are equal to men,
they deserve every opportunity. What about in countries where they're
(30:57):
rape from childhood, can't show their face, can't drive, can't work,
and can't vote.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Why you just don't like brown people.
