Democrats passionately arguing for the return of Venezueling gang members to spite Trump. Average Americans want these people removed. And this is another 80-20 issue. So if you find yourself in the position of trying to justify why these people shouldn't be kicked out, you're going to lose. You have signed up to lose. That's it. You've signed up to be a loser. Yeah, I mean, who, bro, like, if you're going to go in first, you're going to try to rush B or 301 with an op?

Okay, at least he waits. Who the fuck wants to defend behavior like this, though? Well, apparently a judge blocked the, uh, block this from happening. Trump ignored the judge and sent him back. Check out the El Salvador president tweet about it. today wait what wait so we sin him anyway

he didn't even give a fuck so today the first 238 members of the Venezueling criminal organization trindea Agra arrived in our country

they were immediately transferred to Seacot the terrorism confinement center for a period of one year that is renewable the United States will pay a very low fee

for them but a high one for us over time these actions combined with the production of already being so el salvador is like they're like the prison they're like the new australia basically he responded to the judge and said too late is it yeah i'll watch the video um over time these actions combined with the production of already being generated of 40 000 inmates engaged in various workshops and labor under the zero idleness so trump is sending these illegals over to el salvador to make them fucking sleep for camps. Oh my God.

And this will help our partisan system become self-sustainable. As of today, it costs $200 million a year. So they're trying to make them work to, oh my God. On this occasion, the U.S. has also sent us 23 MS-13 members, wanted by Salvadoran justice, including two ringleaders. One of them is a member of the criminal organization's highest structure. This will help us finalize intelligence gathering and go out. the last remnants of MS-13, including its former and new members,

money, drugs, weapons, hideouts, collaborators, and sponsors. As always, we continue advancing in the fight against organized crime, but this time we are also helping our allies, making our prison system self-sustainable, and obtaining vital intelligence to make our country an even safer place, all in a single action. May God bless El Salvador and may God bless the United States. This is crazy.

Because, like, back whenever, like, even 10th, 10 years ago before this guy took over, like the country that I would use as an example of a dangerous place was El Salvador. I would be like, oh yeah, like, oh, dangerous places in South America, El Salvador, right? It was a PVP server. This guy totally rewrote the rules. He did. And by the way, just keep in mind, we just got done, uh,

I want y'all to just look at this. Give me a minute. This guy's approval rating. 91% Keep in mind what Trump's approval rating is They fucking love him It turns out when you put all the criminals in jail

Crime doesn't happen as much What? You can't Duh What if they're not all criminals? Oh, I bet they're not I bet there's probably some innocent people in there for sure Yeah

Yeah, it's just what happens So you look kind of like this. There's innocent people that get put in jail, and there's innocent people that get hurt by crime. You will always have collateral damage. Trying to use that as an excuse to do nothing, that's emotional reasoning. Of course you're going to hurt people that are innocent. Of course. Does that mean you just don't do anything?

It's an opportunity cost. Yeah, you've got to crack a few eggs. That's the case in every country. Yeah, it's a retardation. Yeah. We do the same thing, by the way. Do you think every single person in jail here is supposed to be in jail? Fuck, no, they're not. Every single jail has people that are in the jail that shouldn't be there. This isn't some kind of like, yeah, this is, it's again, it's just emotional reasoning. Of course you're going to have bad things like that. You honestly sound insane.

The reason why I sound insane is I say the truth without being apologetic. The fact is that people like to talk around negative side effects to pretend like they don't exist. I don't. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to, there will be innocent people that will be negatively affected, absolutely. Yep. That's right.

And it, like Stalin? It likes, no, not like Stalin. Stalin murdered a bunch of his own people. No, yeah, no, not like Stalin. and not like Stalin, not really like Stalin at all, really. This is it. Doesn't sound insane. Yeah.

And the thing is that people are so afraid of just kind of accepting this reality that they're willing to contort themselves into positions like supporting this stuff. That's a dumbest comparison? Yeah, it's just stupid. And anyway, yeah, we have people in prison here that shouldn't be here. And we have people that are out of prison that shouldn't be out of prison. That's the reality. Of course, that's what happens.

So, yeah, that's absolutely what's going to happen. 100%. Stalin's responsible for killing more than 20 million of his people? Well, he's an asshole. Yeah, people don't like him. He had a great mustache, though. He did. But that was about it.

Anyway, so false imprisonment is 2 to 5%, but not imprisoning anyone affects 100% of people. Well, what I'm saying is that... So a lot of people have problems with... Effectively, there's a lot of... like moral and ethical issues that are trolley problems where you're effectively choosing who you're going to hurt and I embrace this like I'm not a very emotional person so I just look at it from like let's how can we do the most good for the most people and that's it I just think about it like that

but if you are weak on crime you hurt more people that are innocent people and if you're tough on crime, there are some cases where innocent people get put in jail. That's the truth. And you do one or the other. And you've got to pull the lever. Utilitarian ethics can be tricket sometimes. Of course they can be. But yeah, that's the way that I see it. The most good for the most people. Yep, exactly. Police states suck, though. It's not a police state. Don't commit crime. anyway so i just wanted to explain that and i i have no problem talking about it in plain english a lot of people don't want to do that because it doesn't sound good i don't worry about sounding good okay it's just what it's it's just the way it is and so anyway um we've basically sent over

238 people of this crime organization to the world super jail in El Salvador. These people came straight for America and we're paying El Salvador now to put them in jail. That's right. Oh, one at a time. The goo lag?

Yep. See ya. Oh. Got one. Oh. Keep his face down. can't see anything? Yep. Wow. And by the way, this prison, I'll show you all a video of this prison. Like, this shit is no joke. Welcome home. Yep. This, by the way, is posted by the president of the country.

And this is the super jail. So dramatic. Yeah, it is. Jesus. They had it good, yeah fucking savage And they put them in these mass cells With like 50 other people Yeah, let me Yeah, they human centipede them They do

Let me see if I can show you guys What's it called again? Cicot This is where they're going Even as I'm stepping through these doors I don't fully grasp What we're about to walk into Suddenly, you're hit with the intense gaze.

They just have to sit there. Look at them all together, just sitting there. ...locking on to you. These men described as the worst of the worst, tattooed with reminders of El Salvador's dark past. It's tense and uncomfortable. But here, officials say, comfort isn't meant to exist. There's no mattresses.

There's no sheets. You've got a toilet over here for them to go to the bathroom. You've got this basin here that they use to bathe themselves. And then you can see there there's a barrel of water that they can drink from. This is a rare look inside El Salvador's terrorism confinement center, known as Seco. He says there's always somebody standing here. Yeah, like y'all understand. Like, you get sent here, you're done.

This is a negative five-star hotel? Yeah. You thought Guantanamo Bay was bad? In front of the cells. And then if you look up, there's a negative five-star hotel. There's another corridor with more security personnel. Yep. Luce 24 hours.

24-7 light. The prison sits like an isolated fortress, nestled in mountainous terrain, about an hour and a half drive from the Capitol. Even with government officials on board with us, were stopped a mile out. So no, ain't nobody getting out. We're gonna inspect bags now too.

Okay, we're clear to get back in. only to hit another checkpoint. Approaching the main gate, our cell signals vanish. They want to do a full search on us before we enter. Jesus Christ. Secots director, Belarmino Garcia, greets us and takes us through a rigorous security check. Wedding ring.

So this is like airport security on steroids. Anything that we're carrying with us. Mobile here? Okay. Anything we're carrying with us has to go there. And then there's a body scan that continues. the other side. This is brutal. Shoes off.

This one back on. Why do the prison guards wear masks? Probably so people can't retaliate against them or figure out who they are or try to figure out like which guard is going to do one thing. Once cleared, we toured the vast campus, starting with the armory. He says they have to constantly remind themselves that they're dealing with essentially the worst of the worst. Jesus Christ. For that reason, they need to be ready for whatever risks they might face.

Look at that. It's been equated to seven football stadiums. It's almost multiple prisons within the prison. I love how like every American measurement of a large space is just football stadiums. Football fields, football stadiums. That's about it. Yeah. Off to the distance, there's three different rings as they describe.

The far end, you have one that's nine meters high of concrete. and then above that three meters of electrified fencing of 15,000 volts 15,000 volts. I wonder if they affect... More than a thousand security personnel, guards, police, and military. Here, let me ask a question. Has anybody ever escaped this place? No. No. Yep. That's not happening. It's impossible to escape. Yeah.

This is like a metal gear base. Inmates are assigned to one of eight sectors. The director tells me, the inmates, once they're inside one of the, these sectors, they never leave. Everything is done within, including doctors, as well as legal visits or court hearings. Each sector holds more than two dozen large cells. Roughly 80 inmates per cell, but it can fluctuate. Most bear the markings of the gangs that held this nation hostage for decades,

committing brutal acts of violence. You've got to kill people, you've got to rob. You've got to do what you've got to survive. You have to do those things. you got to do that. And if you didn't do those things, you wouldn't. You wouldn't be a gang bang. We meet 41-year-old Marvin Vasquez, shackled and heavily guarded.

What gang were you part of? MS-13. And do you have any gang affiliations? Yeah, I'm tattooed up. What is this? Crazy criminal. Say crazy criminals. Yeah.

I made this click in 2011. You made the click? Yeah. You were a gang leader. Yeah. What is it like to live here? It's probably not a hotel five star, but... You got to respect the guy

who has a sense of humor who has to live in this fucking place. Probably not yet. They give you the three times of food. They give you some programs. You go to do exercise. Some church or religion programs too. But that's limited to just 30 minutes a day.

The other 23 and a half hours, they're kept inside and locked up. I've seen hamster cages that have more space than that. I've seen like rat experiments that have more space than that. Inmates who get violent with other prisoners or guards. Uh-oh. Go in the box. We're going to close the door. I just want to get a sense of.

Solitary confinement awaits. Jesus Christ. For 15 days, potentially. All right, I'm ready to get out. Critics point specifically to the prison's strict control and isolation of inmates, calling it a violation of human rights. Yeah, probably. The director brought up that a lot of folks will raise concerns from a human rights perspective

and an abuse of human rights, that he's calm. hearing that because he sees it day-to-day, the process they go through to maintain, as he sees it, proper punishment. While you're cut off... They don't give a shit. Yeah. From society here, whispers of life on the outside make their way in. I've heard about it, that it's a new El Salvador. It looks different. That new El Salvador has emerged under President Naiboukele, who took office in 2019 and declared a controversial state of emergency more than two years ago. It sparked an aggressive crackdown on crime.

Yeah, basically what this guy did is as soon as he, like, won, like, got the office, he just literally mobilized the military to just go in and get all the gang members. Yep. Just go get him. Marshall law, yep. We see that firsthand as some 2,500 police and soldiers deploy into one neighborhood. He's going to go on through the night for however long it takes. for them to root out. Any suspected criminal elements.

Late last week, as the U.S. State Department lowered its travel advisory for El Salvador, citing a significant reduction in crime, it also warned that Buchanan... Yeah, I bet. ...emergency measures allow authorities to arrest anyone suspected of gang activity and suspends constitutional rights. Juan Carlos, I see David. Juan Carlos tells me. me he was wrongfully held for five months at a lower security prison earlier this year.

He says the poor conditions led to an infection in his leg. Yep. He said he was lumped in and assumed to be part of a gang. And he said in part because of how he looked, he had long hair. He said he had a long beard. And he says he has tattoos, but he points out that for him, these are just artistic expressions. They have nothing to do with being part of the gang.

And this is what happens, right? Is that mistakes like this do happen? It does. That's not good? Yeah, no, it's not. Mistakes happen. Yep. The administration has acknowledged that innocent people have been swept up in the crackdown, and they say more than 7,000 have already been released. They see it as collateral damage. They should. That's the right decision to make.

Even though it does it and it hurts innocent people, it's better for the greater good, and it's better for most people. It happens in every country. It's worth it. Yeah, it is. Like, it is. It could be a lot worse. I mean, they're not killing them. They're not making them, they're not harvesting them for organs. They're not making, they're not using them for medical testing.

It could get way worse. It could get a lot worse. Godlos, while frustrated with the tactics. It's an evil mindset. People say it's an evil mindset. I think the opposite is the evil mindset. I think the evil mindset is to allow your, country to live in fear in terror of people like this because you're afraid of making a bad

decision. That's the truth. And I understand what you're saying and there's a degree of truth in it, but you're choosing between two evils. Under Bukle, his country is safer. I think that some of the greatest evils are done under the disguise of empathy. They're like, well, let's do this. Yeah, because you're, yeah, they aren't even filing them guards. Yeah, it's, the country is a war zone. Hopefully it changes. Yeah. There are more than two choices.

No, there's not. No. You either go in one direction or another. There's no perfect solution. There never will be. Is this headquarters for you guys? Yes. Okay.

Yes. Bokele's security minister targets gangs with an academic-like approach. I heard you have a book. Is it true? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is a book that has the markings of gang members. Oh, no. The minister compiling his findings from his nearly 30 years in law enforcement to help interpret gang symbols.

Wow, these three dots that signify three things to the gang members, that they have three destinations, essentially. Jail, hospital, or cemetery. From his office, he monitors crime reports in real time and keeps tabs on his officers in the field. You can say, you know, if there's a particular officer that's in an area that's in question, why were you there so long? What were you doing? And you can hold them accountable. So what is the crime rate in El Salvador by year? Yep, there it is. Man, problem solved? Yeah. Who would have guessed?

Even says the program they've built has started to incorporate AI, which can tell them where you have to put your police officer. And yet most we meet seem unfazed by the added show of force. I asked him, I said, how do you feel with all these soldiers? I mean, there's a couple of dozen just even right outside his door. And he said, no, I feel safe. Man. I sat next to Jorge Moran on my flight in. His family fled El Salvador's civil war when he was three.

Just coming to the airport, you feel the sense of like safety, you know. Do you feel it in the U.S.? No. You don't? And you live in Indiana? Yes, sir. Jorge fully supports President Buchele, as do most arriving passengers, it seems.

And folks are actually stopping to get their pictures taken between President Buchele and First Lady. May on. Under Buchele's state of emergency, law enforcement have arrested more than 81,000 people. El Salvador now has one of the world's highest incarceration rates. Most end up in facilities like this. These.

They can work to reduce their sentences. See, this is what they're going to do. And so we send them over to this place and then they're fixing cars and doing work. And that way we don't have to pay for it. They make the money back. Slave labor winning, hey, shouldn't have been in the gang. The most hardened criminals, though, brought to secotte, where inside a life sentence awaits. We did bad things.

We pay it the rough way. doing time. And yet for many on the outside, the prison now a symbol of newfound freedom, the new El Salvador, as they see it. That's crazy. Not slave criminal labor? Yep, that's right. That's right. And so that's it.

And so basically we probably can't send American citizens over there. But if somebody not supposed to be here and you're causing trouble, maybe you just go to super jail yeah yeah maybe you go to super jail that's it and uh very good trash out now yeah exactly right

and uh that that's what it is it saves us money yeah it does and uh maybe you should download the app yeah yeah stop doing it choose your path wide they're going to need a bigger jail probably not i mean honestly uh surprisingly good video from CNN yeah absolutely would you be supportive sending them there instead of the death penalty um I don't know.

Like, I mean, if we could make more money off of them by sending them over there. Like, I mean, because the thing is with the death penalty, like, I ideologically am totally okay with the death penalty. But it costs a lot of money to do that because there's a lot of due process that's involved with killing somebody. So it's a lot easier to put somebody in jail. So the only reason why I'm against the death penalty is because it costs more money than putting them in jail for life. If it was cheaper to just shoot them. And I think that you need to have the due process, right? You need to have the due process.

Because if you don't, then you're just shooting people randomly. So, like, if we can get them into jail and make a bunch of money off of them, I feel like that's way better than just shooting them. That's a thousand times better. And so, yeah, bullets are expensive. Well, no, it's about the process of deciding whether you're going to shoot the bullet. That's the difference. Humans are a resource?

Yeah, yeah, it's a resource. I agree. ideologically, but if we risk even one innocent life to death, then it's not worth it. Oh, I disagree. That doesn't bother me. I mean, really, there's going to be victims in everything, and you're going to have mistakes. Like, is it really that much different if you're putting a person in jail for life versus if you're, you know, killing them? Not really. I mean, like, I feel like, again, and that's why you have the due process. Yeah, again, with the utopian bullshit, yeah, it's just not, that's not how the world works, right? And so there's a huge difference? No, I don't think so.

personally i don't and so yeah you're retarded oh people people don't like that uh yeah because people that are in for life fought for their freedom because they were innocent quite a few times oh yeah well that's why and again that's the reason why the amount of like checks and things for uh whether somebody gets the death penalty are extremely high and that's why i said i support the amount of due process that it has because the amount of due process makes sure that you know basically beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's not going to be a random person, right? It's going to be a person who's actually guilty. And so that's the difference.

So I support the due process. That's why I'm against the death penalty. I'm against the death penalty from a utilitarian perspective. Morally, I'm not. But utilitarian, like, it's just, it's not an effective use of money. right and that's it and so in practice like in practice i don't support it at all so yeah okay so you're saying it's necessary uh because necessary than just yeah yeah sure i thought the plane got turned around or is that a different one uh apparently they said too late yep they're already there and so as far as i know it doesn't

really matter yeah that's it
