The Michael Berry Show. Todd Benzeman is our guest. The book is overrun. Welcome to the program, sir.

Great to be here. Thank you. Todd, I have to tell you that I've been hearing from listeners

for a couple of years about Colony Ridge. I'm based in Houston, but I'm from Orange. I run that

I-10 Court or I-10 East through Liberty County all the time. I've got listeners all over there.

It was one of those things that I'd never heard of, and then I couldn't stop hearing about. I know

that you were someone that was brought up to me a number of times as get him on the air. He can

talk about what's going on. I don't know how much you know specifically about Colony Ridge,

but I do know that you have made a- a course of study and I've looked at your background

to talk about this infiltration by cartel traffickers, you name it. Could you speak specifically

to Colony Ridge and if not to the subject generally? Yeah, I can speak specifically to it. It's the

subject of an entire chapter of my book and over on it. It's the subject of my final chapter

called Forever Consequences, which is to say that this mass migration crisis, that

this epic migration crisis that we've seen will have permanent transformative effects

on the United States and I kind of use Colony Ridge to show what some of that looks like.

So, what is going on there? Why should people be concerned? Because people moving in that don't

look like us is obviously that's no big deal. Why is this a problem? Well, the way I put it is that

when you have very, very large concentrations of people who are illegally present

and everybody who lives there including the immigrants themselves, the buyers of homes

and property there, school district superintendent police, the people that live there before all

attest that a great many are illegally present, they're not legal, that you have the ultimate

stranger danger, right? You have no idea what their backgrounds and histories are

and so therefore you have a homeland security problem in the sense that cartels are operating there.
