No matter how I look at it, the world's going to look at it. It's human smuggling. Even though I'm not

hiding them, I'm not doing it in Cognito. It's still smuggling and it's illegal. So,

you got a truck. Okay.

What's up, guys? I want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas. You're going to love this special holiday episode. We interviewed an actual human smuggler. Last month, we went down to the U.S.-Mexico border and talked to a man who works for a human smuggling organization, somebody who helps smuggle migrants from Mexico into the U.S.

This was an American guy, and he shed light on the situation at the border.

He talked about his job, what he does, his function within the organization, and how he

sees the migrant crisis unfolding in the United States. This was a very important episode.

I enjoyed it. It's different than anything we've ever done. And of course, if you want bonus

content, head over to the Patreon. Patreon.com slash The Connect show. Have a great holiday.

We appreciate everybody so much. Enjoy this episode. My name is Johnny Mitchell and you were watching The Connect.

I don't want to do this any much longer, man, because I don't want to ever get in trouble.

I don't want to be taken away from my family. I don't want any of that. Even though I'm doing a good

thing in God's eyes, the world's looking at me like I am the cartel. That's when I see lights behind me start to flash. And I didn't even think. I just hit it. I was driving like my life depended on. And then I parked the car, popped out, closed the door, and I started running. And he pulls out a burner, shang, it's like six inches. And he passes it to me. And he goes, here, that's yours. Don't ever leave the cell block without this.

He was the reason I made it out of that place alive.

So I guess just start from the beginning.

How did you get into this?

Well, I got tricked into it, actually.

There was a guy back home that was needing some help construction.

And this was during the pandemic.

So, you know, he had a couple people with them, put him in my truck and like,

all right, let's be here six in the morning.

We'll head out.
