@@TheHarrip Hey bro being from the UK, you’ll end up finding that at least in our country in the United States, the majority of the shit going wrong has to do with Democrats, or people on the far left that tend to want to ruin things. All major gun violence, crime, low education, and poverty all happen in democrat run areas. Additionally main stream media as well as all colleges are ran by Democrats. So you get a skewed perspective. Additionally big cities, like New York City and Los Angeles are majority democrat cities. When you go to nine out of 10 towns in the United States, they’re all conservative red states, where people believe in this country and what it was founded on.

As someone who is deeply involved in catching child traffickers, this interview is probably one of the best, most important sources of information for those that are ignorant to the humanitarian crises we face. People need to know that there are horrifying scenarios every single day and night at the border. This is about saving innocent children, women and even men from slavery. God bless Theo.
So how are you helping? Have you seen the videos of Trump charities trafficking children in Houston hotels which is the #1 hub for exporting Children to Trump allies like Russia and Saudi Arabia. Why and how are there still over 300 kids missing under the Trump Administration? Do you think he sold them for profits to pay for his legal fees much like his campaign funds? Why is it always Christian charities involved with child trafficking? Remember Sandusky? or the god damn Catholic Church for that matter? Makes me sick
@@jacksevert3099 oh yeah and Biden is doing a WAAAAY better job than Trump right? Gtfo I literally live in the border and the amount of illegals I have seen in these past few months is ridiculous. And that's only the ones that make it God knows how many don't make it.
@@jacksevert3099 while that might well be true, illegal immigration was much higher under Obama and is significantly higher even still under Biden. Why are you so focused on Trump who's term actually represented a significant low for illegal immigration? Are you only getting your news from CNN?

Just disgusting people
This is why I like Theo Von. he's able to give us the viewpoints from the more conservative side without the absolute arrogance their figureheads portray or the naivety of the other extreme news networks. Dude's a comedian and gives us better looks than traditional media...
I mean, this dude wasn’t really a blue collar worker, he was in charge of over 4,000 people in a US Federal Agency. I do love the blue collar interview though :)
i wouldnt exactly call these guys "blue collar" they spend most of their day in a car with A/C patrolling remote areas..its actually a pretty chill job.
The amount of information that Theo allowed Agent Roy to share uninterrupted was awesome. Also him not being bias on the issue during the podcast really let the guest get comfortable and was willing to share a lot more than he is allowed to share on other platforms. This was an awesome episode!
I agree this is what the news needs for sure! I wouldn’t say no bias, everyone has a bias and this guys experiences have obviously shaped his view on stuff. That being said he seemed genuinely empathetic and understood “the other side” at a very human level.
@Manny but wouldn't that entail having all of those on that come here illegally for other reasons, too? Terrorists, drug smugglers, sex traffickers, if you really want to get EVERYONE that Border Patrol encounters? The "other side" coming here illegally, isn't just people coming here for a "better life"...know what I mean?
@I'll be banned soon you don’t think a border patrol agent has any vested interest or bias in how the border is perceived and funded? Sometimes you need to think a little more critically on things that you agree on. I’m sure you agree with this person, and I’m sure he’s not completely talking bullshit, but I think it’s always a good practice to ask if someone has an interest in thinking the way that they do.
@@Westdawgg it sucks because i feel like this is how interviews should be held but both sides tend to through in their own objectives.. Theo just asked question and allowed dude to answer..
@@a-t5380 Theo didn't have any bias but truth. If you see it differently your not American because no one wants to see lil girls and boy raped taken advantage of by the cartel. Crazy to think your even argue against both there claims that I state

@Manny facts bro very complex subject fr especially when u know people who’ve been doing paperwork for 10-15 years and they keep paying and waiting it’s fucked either way
I’ll have to look into his record further, but this guy is one of the most competent, well spoken and direct LEO I’ve ever heard. This is what being on point sounds like.
In general I'm not a fan of cops but I can respect a very by-the-books officer like this. I may not agree with the laws but at least he's enforcing them fairly and equally.
@@aniquinstark4347 I feel you. I hated cops too until I realized the reason I kept getting locked up and interacting with them, was that I was a real deal piece of shit. Once I got my stuff together, what do ya know, it’s been 11 years and not a single negative interaction with a single cop. I don’t know what the other possible explanation could be other than I was the one who changed. Most cops are legit good people. And I assure you 99.9999% of people in jail or prison deserve to be there. Hell, one let me go the other day because he could tell I was stressing about work and was just trying to get to a client. They’re mostly good dudes
I love how Theo asks real, honest questions. He's so in awe of what is being said to him, he just says what any normal person would say. Proud of you and what you're doing ✌
Super insightful and enjoyable podcast. I learned a lot that I never had any idea about with the border. Also, couldn’t have picked a better ex-BP agent. He’s super well spoken and could tell he was really appreciative to just be able to have a real life conversation about the border and the issues facing it.
This is pure gold. A wealth of information presented professionally and also entertaining. No media bias (lies). Straight facts along side decades of personal experience. True journalism at its best. What a world. Thanks, Theo! You’re a gem.
Lmao maybe try a dictionary. Bias and lies are not the same thing. This interview is extremely biased. It’s coming directly from a former border patrol director. You think there’s no bias? Jesus
@@YungRekless also, are you aware that I can see every comment you've posted to Theos page by clicking on your profile? "Oh gee golly," is an actual thing you wrote in your comments hahaha
Theo... This was amazing. Literally filling in the gap for stuff Rogan used to expose us to. I can't get this angle or info from ANY news station. Please, Godspeed bro, keep this stuff up!
i just want to say... this is GENIUS having guests like this!!! you never get to here these people talk for this long. The mortician one was awesome. fucking hilarious too lol
People are dualistic in nature. A person can be a hero one moment and a villain the next. I'm a 6 year army reserve vet. Not all people who serve are good people, or heroes.
@@franciscoreyes7370 People are prismatic in nature. Sometimes heroic, sometimes villainous, but most of the time a myriad of things in between. Your point is well taken, though.
Thanks Theo for opening up the conversation about what is really going on at the border from a man who has been there for over 30 years! Love this type of interview from you! Keep bringing on different people!
As a current BP Agent .. I’m glad Chief Villareal was able to say a lot in very little time. The American people don’t even know how bad our Southern Border is right now.
@@effu9593 way way back around 19 91 or 92 we saw Noam Chomsky to a lecture at University of Pennsylvania and it was so disturbing to hear him say that many children from below the border are murdered for stealing their organs for the organ donor industry .
Loved this interview! Born and raised in Tucson Arizona Lived on pantano myself. We deal with this everyday and it’s great to hear someone from the inside talk about it.
Really? I live near Pantano. Haven’t seen shit out here. As a matter of fact, I’m all over Tucson and I’ve NEVER seen illegal aliens anywhere much less causing havoc. How would I know if they’re illegal?? Exactly!
I thought building walls had more to do with prioritizing xenophobia over compassion. But this conversation opened my eyes to the fact that it is very compassionate to protect our border.
makes me think he's a deep state plant who uses fearmongering to control the populace and takeaway people's freedom! Don't let marxist police unions and their communism destroy America! Don't give into fear! Fight back! Open all borders! Total Freedom! No more communist laws!
That thing about the wall was very interesting, i never thought about the thing he mentioned with infrastructure and that makes so much sense, its not just a dumb wall, its about being effective and safe. Media would never talk about that Such a good vibe bringing in people like this, actual good questions, informative answers while still being entertaining, none of the fake bs and bs questions. Seriously great job Theo
This was the most informative and interesting 1.5 hours about the border that I could ever listen to! WITHOUT making it political!!! Keep up the Lords work you’re doing Theo❤️
Just the infrastructure from having to build the wall alone helps the border patrol in ways I never thought of before. Good roads, power, internet, the strength of the boarder patrol improved drastically. This guy was so understandable and refreshing from what we see every day in the media.
Lol it’s so strange how ppl talk about Theo or dudes like Bryan Callen, Joe Rogan, etc. and act like they aren’t apart of main stream media These guys are signed to the same 1 or 2 agencies that own the media, they’re no different than “the media”
Must be very intimidating for a regular person to be on the show. For someone not used to cameras, spotlights, talking to celebrity ... It is quite something. Respect to all the guest that been on the podcast, you handle your emotions much better than I.
@@cl20999 Yeah but you do a bit of research and find out you’ll probably have at least 100 thousand people listening too you and could put some nerves on for most people, would for me anyways.
Why are you assuming all this? Did you even see the podcast? This guy was well spoken and relaxed. And podcast cameras are tiny. you hardily notice them when you are having a conversation in a relaxing environment
Amazing interview Theo! And agent Roy couldn't have been a better guest. Incredibly informative. Thank you for making the world a better place by interviewing regular folks that make a difference.
This is one of my favorite interviews so far. To mirror some of the other comments, this is seriously better than any biased Vice or 60 minutes interview. It really shows how horrible the border patrol agents were represented by main stream media. This is the new news… actually talk to the people, hear their side, ask normal questions, see what they are dealing with and what struggles they have. Much appreciated, Theo!! Gang
Thank you for this Theo! I think this is important for ALL of your fans to hear. This might be the only time that a lot of people are exposed to anything negative about the border.
I’m in the military and last summer I worked with border patrol in Nogales AZ just south of Tucson the amount of people I saw cross was insane you never really think it’s like that until you see it with your own eyes
Amazing episode. Would love to see a part two with Roy at some point. It seemed like he has much more that he could talk about. He seems like a really good guy too.
Very important episode. I already have a good understanding of the border but this taught me even more.. We should all appreciate Theo's questions too. He isn't afraid to ask questions most want asked but don't ask them to avoid sounding dumb or embarrassing themselves. He also paraphrases things to show he understands the answer he's given and relates it to what he already knows. Well done Theo.

shit must be pretty bad when a damn border patrol officer can't figure out why parents would let kids walk 1k miles alone to the border

@@jacksevert3099 while that might well be true, illegal immigration was much higher under Obama and is significantly higher even still under Biden. Why are you so focused on Trump who's term actually represented a significant low for illegal immigration? Are you only getting your news from CNN?
@@thicclizzyisamanbaby5316 um yea becuause trump literally closed the borders the would rip families apart to discourage it. Putin and Mao would be proud of trump! They love him and his fascism! But let's not forget there was more deportations under Obama than any other President in history! Borders are deep state creations too when my true American descendants came here you think there was a damn border?? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! DESTROY ALL COMMUNIST BORDERS! MAGA!
@@thicclizzyisamanbaby5316 so far Obama and Biden haven't been connected to Epstein like old Trumpy.. why else do you think Trump is down in West Balm just a block from the Epstein pedo party mansion? its sick how they get away with it then claim to be "helping" "save the children" BS. Just disgusting people
Somebody who's actually been there. Thanks Theo
This is why I like Theo Von. he's able to give us the viewpoints from the more conservative side without the absolute arrogance their figureheads portray or the naivety of the other extreme news networks. Dude's a comedian and gives us better looks than traditional media...
This is such a important talk. The media is so bad for this situation.
It's brilliant that Theo brings on blue-collar workers on the podcast haha
I agree. I enjoyed the episode where he was talking to the plumber
Listen to the trucker lady ☝️
i liked the mortician.
I mean, this dude wasn’t really a blue collar worker, he was in charge of over 4,000 people in a US Federal Agency. I do love the blue collar interview though :)
i wouldnt exactly call these guys "blue collar" they spend most of their day in a car with A/C patrolling remote areas..its actually a pretty chill job.
Theo is the definition of becoming successful and using your platform for people's voices to be heard.
💯
Him having on normal, everyday, awesome, down to earth people is just the best thing ever. More of this.
I love how Roy was so excited to tell you about all the misconceptions about our Border! Loved this.
The amount of information that Theo allowed Agent Roy to share uninterrupted was awesome. Also him not being bias on the issue during the podcast really let the guest get comfortable and was willing to share a lot more than he is allowed to share on other platforms. This was an awesome episode!
This ain't no regular blue-collar-bad-boy, this is that hero-hitter. Thanks for your service, Roy, sir!
This is what the news needs. Real facts from people with experience, no bias.
I agree this is what the news needs for sure! I wouldn’t say no bias, everyone has a bias and this guys experiences have obviously shaped his view on stuff. That being said he seemed genuinely empathetic and understood “the other side” at a very human level.
@Manny That would be really interesting
@Manny but wouldn't that entail having all of those on that come here illegally for other reasons, too? Terrorists, drug smugglers, sex traffickers, if you really want to get EVERYONE that Border Patrol encounters? The "other side" coming here illegally, isn't just people coming here for a "better life"...know what I mean?
You don’t think there’s a bias here? 🤔
Listen, just because you agree, doesn’t mean there’s not a bias.
@I'll be banned soon you don’t think a border patrol agent has any vested interest or bias in how the border is perceived and funded?
Sometimes you need to think a little more critically on things that you agree on. I’m sure you agree with this person, and I’m sure he’s not completely talking bullshit, but I think it’s always a good practice to ask if someone has an interest in thinking the way that they do.
The day comedians are the only trusted source of news has come.
It's sad that people who lean left won't see the facts given without seeing "racist". God bless Theo
@@Westdawgg both sides have their bias lets be honest guys lol..
@@Westdawgg it sucks because i feel like this is how interviews should be held but both sides tend to through in their own objectives.. Theo just asked question and allowed dude to answer..
@@a-t5380 Theo didn't have any bias but truth. If you see it differently your not American because no one wants to see lil girls and boy raped taken advantage of by the cartel. Crazy to think your even argue against both there claims that I state
@@Westdawgg Bruh y you looking for issues.... I just commended Theo on being a great interviewer and being non bias dummy... I get reading may not be your strong suit but damn calm down bubba
Theo just did what the MSM can’t do. Props and respect to the funniest man on Earth!
*won't
What's that?? Telling the truth?? You're correct sir!! 👍
30+ years of service and retiring doesn't look old enough! Great interview, what a guy!
My last name is Villarreal, with two r's, shout out to Theo for the proper pronunciation during the intro , GANG!
he's half nicaraguan. rolling r's instead of dollar bills nowadays.
Theo looks like he could be fresh out of high school or also be due for his first colonoscopy.
gang gang
On that jump street ting
Yo facts lmao
This went over my head
@@RUN_IT_UP_ you must be young.
As a Latino who's family immigrated to this county, this is such a complicated subject. Thanks Theo, onwards.
@Point thumbs not fingers It must be nice living in a world devoid of nuance.
I got My citizenship legally. idk about this dude
@Manny again you have to come , legally
@@mariobtron5907 wants it to be as slow as possible.. so they don’t lose their lame excuse “come here legally.” Also keeps the illegal market alive. What a genius
@Manny facts bro very complex subject fr especially when u know people who’ve been doing paperwork for 10-15 years and they keep paying and waiting it’s fucked either way
No ego, no politics, straight facts.
I’ll have to look into his record further, but this guy is one of the most competent, well spoken and direct LEO I’ve ever heard. This is what being on point sounds like.
Well he did say he had 4000 people working under him. Dude is a boss
In general I'm not a fan of cops but I can respect a very by-the-books officer like this. I may not agree with the laws but at least he's enforcing them fairly and equally.
@@aniquinstark4347 I feel you. I hated cops too until I realized the reason I kept getting locked up and interacting with them, was that I was a real deal piece of shit. Once I got my stuff together, what do ya know, it’s been 11 years and not a single negative interaction with a single cop. I don’t know what the other possible explanation could be other than I was the one who changed.
Most cops are legit good people. And I assure you 99.9999% of people in jail or prison deserve to be there. Hell, one let me go the other day because he could tell I was stressing about work and was just trying to get to a client.
They’re mostly good dudes
He seems more like a Sagittarius to me honestly. But still competent.
@@robwaters8848 ha! I see what you did there
No politics. Just real talk. YESSSSS!
Dude Theo is such a champion for the Everyman. That’s why I love this dude so much!
Thank you for having interesting guests on Theo. This is truly one of the best podcasts out there.
I love how Theo asks real, honest questions. He's so in awe of what is being said to him, he just says what any normal person would say. Proud of you and what you're doing ✌
I really have to respect Theo's creativeness with who he has on for guests. You're really doing your thing. Keep it up.
I learned more from this man about the border than I ever thought!!!
This man is TRULY a Hero!
Thank you Theo for this!!!
Super insightful and enjoyable podcast. I learned a lot that I never had any idea about with the border. Also, couldn’t have picked a better ex-BP agent. He’s super well spoken and could tell he was really appreciative to just be able to have a real life conversation about the border and the issues facing it.
I didn't like it. It had a very negative point of view on immigration. A perfect interview for a fox news audience.
@@juanjones6463 @juan Jones what exactly is the positive of unchecked illegal immigration?
This is pure gold. A wealth of information presented professionally and also entertaining. No media bias (lies). Straight facts along side decades of personal experience.
True journalism at its best. What a world.
Thanks, Theo! You’re a gem.
Lmao maybe try a dictionary. Bias and lies are not the same thing. This interview is extremely biased. It’s coming directly from a former border patrol director. You think there’s no bias? Jesus
I wanna see a vid titled Theo and Roy patrol the border.
This is actually a great educational interview . Good job Theo
This feels like a fun day at school
Way better education. Real life.
Big daddy Theo coming through with another hot hitter baby.
Cringe
@@YungRekless your name is Yungrekless....yea im cringe tho lol
@@YungRekless also, are you aware that I can see every comment you've posted to Theos page by clicking on your profile? "Oh gee golly," is an actual thing you wrote in your comments hahaha

@@MantissToboggan you also thought putting 2 “s”s and 2 “g”s in your name would make it look cooler. Cringe af
Joe Rogan: “Let’s bring in a celebrity crack head with daddy issues.”
Theo:”Fuck it give me Jake from StateFarm!”
Lol
Gang
To be fair , I feel like rogan fans would be pissed if he brought in joe schmos
Look up his episodes with Ed Calderon, dude worked the border and the podcasts with him are really interesting
Who's the celebrity crack head?
Rogan brings on a wider variety of guests than literally anybody. That's a big part of why the show is successful.
Theo... This was amazing. Literally filling in the gap for stuff Rogan used to expose us to. I can't get this angle or info from ANY news station. Please, Godspeed bro, keep this stuff up!
i just want to say... this is GENIUS having guests like this!!! you never get to here these people talk for this long. The mortician one was awesome. fucking hilarious too lol
As an 11 year active duty vet who's been in OIF and OEF, this man is a hero.
People are dualistic in nature. A person can be a hero one moment and a villain the next. I'm a 6 year army reserve vet. Not all people who serve are good people, or heroes.
@@franciscoreyes7370 People are prismatic in nature. Sometimes heroic, sometimes villainous, but most of the time a myriad of things in between. Your point is well taken, though.
Amen. 100%
Stroke your own ego because no one else will lol. I will do the same
I love how Theo proposed tagging smugglers. lol
Comedians are doing more in depth interviews than major news outlets.
Great job!
Thanks Theo for opening up the conversation about what is really going on at the border from a man who has been there for over 30 years! Love this type of interview from you! Keep bringing on different people!
Theo on the border situation: "it almost has a freeze-tag kind of vibe, almost"
Lmao
So the border like a 4 square strategy
“it’s like playing against Andy Reid” 😂
I cried laughing. hes so versatile
Let’s blow this pod up. Everyone needs to here this. Gang gang bro great job
I love these ones with just normal dudes
This was an awesome interview that actually talked about issues rather than blaming one person or another for those problems
As a current BP Agent .. I’m glad Chief Villareal was able to say a lot in very little time. The American people don’t even know how bad our Southern Border is right now.
Theo is a great interviewer.I love how he keeps he’s comedic flow but stays genuine to the subject/guest.
Brilliant choice to bring this man on. Extremely informative and hilarious at the same time. Thank you for all that you do Theo! Gang gang baby!
Wow the renting of children thing broke my heart.
Even worse than that those children disappear
@@effu9593 way way back around 19 91 or 92 we saw Noam Chomsky to a lecture at University of Pennsylvania and it was so disturbing to hear him say that many children from below the border are murdered for stealing their organs for the organ donor industry .
@@effu9593 very interesting Name by the way
Loved this interview!
Born and raised in Tucson Arizona
Lived on pantano myself.
We deal with this everyday and it’s great to hear someone from the inside talk about it.
Really? I live near Pantano. Haven’t seen shit out here. As a matter of fact, I’m all over Tucson and I’ve NEVER seen illegal aliens anywhere much less causing havoc. How would I know if they’re illegal?? Exactly!
I thought building walls had more to do with prioritizing xenophobia over compassion. But this conversation opened my eyes to the fact that it is very compassionate to protect our border.
So happy to see someone state this. Now you can (try) to explain it to other people.
@@justwatchin4545 I can and will, but I wish trump had said it that way.
@@ptfarm1704 yea, Trump was a bad messenger.
This guy can speak
gang gang
Except he can't pronounce "myriad" but otherwise, he was great!
Nice pfp. Stay noided
makes me think he's a deep state plant who uses fearmongering to control the populace and takeaway people's freedom! Don't let marxist police unions and their communism destroy America! Don't give into fear! Fight back! Open all borders! Total Freedom! No more communist laws!
@@jacksevert3099 what is more likely? He can speak well or he is involved in a giant conspiracy to convince YOU to embrace communism
That thing about the wall was very interesting, i never thought about the thing he mentioned with infrastructure and that makes so much sense, its not just a dumb wall, its about being effective and safe. Media would never talk about that
Such a good vibe bringing in people like this, actual good questions, informative answers while still being entertaining, none of the fake bs and bs questions. Seriously great job Theo
@@ObesePuppies did you even read my comment cupcake
Theo is based for having this guy on, love to see it.
Based?
@@doug9116 means based in reality pretty much
@@ethananderson8454 ah.
He just wanted it from the horse’s mouth imo
WTF is "based"? Always wondered what type of people speak like that thinking it makes them cool or something. Outside of rappers.
Thank you for sharing your experience Roy! And thank you Theo for providing a platform for this!
This was the most informative and interesting 1.5 hours about the border that I could ever listen to! WITHOUT making it political!!! Keep up the Lords work you’re doing Theo❤️
Just the infrastructure from having to build the wall alone helps the border patrol in ways I never thought of before. Good roads, power, internet, the strength of the boarder patrol improved drastically. This guy was so understandable and refreshing from what we see every day in the media.
And while it is being built, all of the construction workers milling around the area would be a deterrent. Interview someone hired to build the wall.
Pretty wild a guy like this would never be interviewed by “the media”
He was served a can of liquid death when he walked in. He knew what kind of interview this was.
Pretty sure he's been on fox
Lol it’s so strange how ppl talk about Theo or dudes like Bryan Callen, Joe Rogan, etc. and act like they aren’t apart of main stream media
These guys are signed to the same 1 or 2 agencies that own the media, they’re no different than “the media”
@@HolyDrugLord you think Theo has been bought by the media bro stop sniffing glue
@@HolyDrugLord you aren't to intelligent eh ole bud
I'm at the point where I click like on the video before it even starts. Theo nails it every time
"It's hard to be smart some times" lmao. Best line of the interview. We've all been there.
Thank you for letting people tell their stories! This is what is missing in the world!
Must be very intimidating for a regular person to be on the show. For someone not used to cameras, spotlights, talking to celebrity ... It is quite something. Respect to all the guest that been on the podcast, you handle your emotions much better than I.
This guys wasn't just a regular run of the mill BP agent though. He was in charge of 4,000 people.
I love Theo but he's not exactly a household name, so it might not be so bad.
@@cl20999 Yeah but you do a bit of research and find out you’ll probably have at least 100 thousand people listening too you and could put some nerves on for most people, would for me anyways.
@@ivartheboneless5969 Maybe, but Roy is an older grown man with a very serious job. I doubt he cared about potential viewers.
Why are you assuming all this? Did you even see the podcast? This guy was well spoken and relaxed. And podcast cameras are tiny. you hardily notice them when you are having a conversation in a relaxing environment
From the UK, if this interview had happened on BBC then it literally would have won a BAFTA award, no questions! Gang Gang!
My boy Theo Von quickly morphing into the next Walter Cronkite of today's era.
Amazing interview Theo! And agent Roy couldn't have been a better guest. Incredibly informative. Thank you for making the world a better place by interviewing regular folks that make a difference.
Loved this !! We gotta get a part 2 with this hero. You know he has SO many crazy stories to tell us !!
Why the hell is a comedian having this conversation and not 60 minutes? Thanks Theo, this was a great epidsode.
I love that he picked this because he wants real Information.
This is one of my favorite interviews so far. To mirror some of the other comments, this is seriously better than any biased Vice or 60 minutes interview. It really shows how horrible the border patrol agents were represented by main stream media. This is the new news… actually talk to the people, hear their side, ask normal questions, see what they are dealing with and what struggles they have. Much appreciated, Theo!! Gang
It shows the necessity of red team operations and realistic adversarial simulation. Proactive > Reactive.
Thank you for this Theo! I think this is important for ALL of your fans to hear. This might be the only time that a lot of people are exposed to anything negative about the border.
I’m in the military and last summer I worked with border patrol in Nogales AZ just south of Tucson the amount of people I saw cross was insane you never really think it’s like that until you see it with your own eyes
I'm a former infantry Marine and we were doing JTF missions with Border Patrol back in the late 90's!
Amazing episode.
Would love to see a part two with Roy at some point. It seemed like he has much more that he could talk about.
He seems like a really good guy too.
It is good to see more people bringing these issues to a mainstream light. You the man Theo, gang gang. Much love from Texas.
Gang bruh!
This human is made of gold.
Very important episode. I already have a good understanding of the border but this taught me even more.. We should all appreciate Theo's questions too. He isn't afraid to ask questions most want asked but don't ask them to avoid sounding dumb or embarrassing themselves. He also paraphrases things to show he understands the answer he's given and relates it to what he already knows. Well done Theo.
