0:00 [Music] a massive drug smuggling tunnel was just found linking tijuana all the way to san diego oh whoa it is a big ass are getting really good because before it used to just be like oh under the wall now it's like 200 under the state directly to bell flower can you imagine like i mean that's a lot of dirty huge food how did they do that and hide that whole situation i don't know maybe they hired north koreans so it's [Laughter] it's about the distance of like five or six football fields they said they did it to code too you see a lot of them it's an ocean yeah they got hard

0:50 they really want a drinking code so it's like wait a minute yeah they have hvac in there with the phone yeah they got ac everything so the cool thing is it starts uh obviously on the mexico side but then it ends underneath like a warehouse in san diego i don't even see people like getting getting out wow and there's these little like there's little access points in other warehouses for like guards to go down ladders how long do you think that took them to make how many miles i don't know but how long do you think it was operating you know if they if you could build a tunnel from tijuana san diego i think you deserve to like self-driving yeah how long you earned it how long is that walk like you get a pass dude san diego to tijuana because like a drive is like less than 30 minutes right well if they said it's about like six football fields that's what like 600 700 yards that's more than what the elon musk is trying to do with this hyperloop right

1:41 you know elon should just be high and wake up do a collab or something remember when we went to uh the border of north korea and then um we saw the tunnels that the north koreans made into south korea they did a better job in mexico but back over there it was like a it was like a little it looked like a cave like it went more and more narrow yeah and it got narrow and i was like man they don't work as good as this because these guys they have a frame they have a ████ ventilation pipe like damn dude you know i just i just crossed from mexico to from back to san diego last week because i was doing this charity thing and like the line to go through the border was like four hours yeah it's a pain in the ass just got the tunnel like you know i know the tunnel's here let me just go fast you should just got on a hoverboard a bird scooter you should just yeah keep

2:32 that tunnel and make it the fast track honestly the crazy thing is when you find tunnels like this uh it's america's job to fill the american side with concrete yeah mexico doesn't have to do nothing that's stupid they should just keep it open and make it our tsa precheck ████ global entry that ████ dude mark can't get in though he can't get in you know it's kind of crazy though it's like we're the americans are so i'm saying it as an american right so we're so obsessed with this idea of border control and board security and making walls but these guys are already like tunneling under these right so this goes underneath the exact wall yeah i'm like how many of these other tunnels haven't been found that are being used like probably through texas ████ new mexico like all across the border they find i think they find them all the time but this particular one was just like a huge find so it was newsworthy but

3:23 imagine how many they find that if they could not tell the press of course you're not gonna say nothing maybe this happened during the trump administration where the cartels were like build a wall i'll build a tunnel the drug the drug dealers or the drug runners that did get caught using it were all socal residents too do you think like the like the homeland security agents when they find the tunnel you think they're in a state of disappointment like what the ████ are they doing or like amazes me like whoa it's longer it gets even longer this is pretty cool i think the way they found it too is that they found one of those warehouses first they were tracking these uh drug smugglers and then they were tracking their cars and then they finally like found the point where they were all kind of originating from or going to yeah so they go to this warehouse and then they

4:14 just find the the ladder in the hole and i think that's how they found they didn't put the rug over it [Laughter] you gotta cover it hair skin that's where they ████ them in the middle of the wheel [Laughter] bart's just over there in the corner like twiddling his thumbs like that don't look over that way that's where they ████ up they forget to dot their eyes with a grandma uh with a hot cocoa on a rocking chair just chilling like nothing to see here you know more the more things you add to cover this yeah that's true

5:05 so what does this say about the war on drugs already winning this war on drugs or dude there's no winning the war on trucks how long has it been for uh the 80s right that's when they started yeah man i think we're losing there's a lot of people i know that are on drugs so that side of is just so good at clapping back at any kind of increased regulation or increased like enforcement they're just too good at like okay we'll make it worse oh you want to make weed legal and then you think that's going to mess it up all right fentanyl for everybody yeah it's like dude look what's happening now man it's just getting crazy and it feels too good all of it all of this like you just have too good of a product man it's great yeah it's it's insane they were able to catch uh through this bust which if you wouldn't even call it that yeah they seized 1762 pounds of cocaine 165 pounds

5:57 of meth and 3.5 pounds of heroin in connection with the investigation yeah what do you think is our top seller out of those three what was their biggest weight oh no those are all pretty addictive coke coke yeah probably more the most popular because they don't they don't smuggle weed no more right yeah that's and the thing is what and interesting we bring up the war on drugs so because of weed being legal weed was the harder thing to smuggle because it weighed more and the smells and all that so they're just like thank god it's like i don't want to deal with that ████ exactly so you can you could traffic way more cocaine than weed in the same like packaging technique and you know distribution everything's way easier more profitable per ounce yeah yeah exactly so what if you buy a plane what happened through the toilet fit you cut the wings off you push it down the top and then you put the wigs back on

6:47 she gonna play with tuttle the play just comes out of a warehouse that's not suspicious like the bat plane they should have turned into an airplane hangar honestly they missed an opportunity but then they're like why are they fully taking off from the hangar these guys are in the wrong business because planes they're expensive yeah dude well i mean like okay she'll make that whole list yeah this is the ladder down to the tunnel dude a bear skin really easily that's where the abuelita could have been sitting yeah yeah dude look how easy that is just cover that ████ up like nothing they suck at ████ hiding and the ladder's sticking out they gotta hide the hole better or you just put a bean bag you know easy yeah you have to drop it down they got too comfortable i still don't know which

7:37 cartel is responsible for this tunnel they i mean obviously they have like obvious ones that are like they're maybe the richest one yeah just look at the board with the ████ red strings on it yeah how many cartels are there that's a lot quite a lot but what are your favorite cartels let's go around i'm hearing that in the top five reasons to go to morongo voice [Laughter] arizona oh god they're scary dude yeah i think they're all did you guys continue watching um yeah narcos after what's his name died

8:28 pablo died because there's a few more episodes where it starts to transfer into the mexico side oh cool yeah but then it got boring because i thought it was good [Laughter] i didn't finish do they have like a new like um like el chapo type character that's as charismatic as nah they're not charismatic that's hard that that was a really good uh pablo one she was so good but apparently the medellin cartel pablo and the whole people like those peoples their notoriety is just blown up because of the um dea cia or whatever all those guys and then like um you know how lately a lot of gangsters like to come on uh podcasts and have conversations and stuff and be like a rat uh right right to themselves yeah and uh a lot of top guys are coming out

9:18 saying like uh that was just because d.a agents want to like be like look at what i got i got this big ████ criminal but apparently they weren't that big sounds like they're hating because they're like the real big guy he's like lying about a big fish yeah the real big guys don't get caught they're multi like they're they're they're like they don't conclude you don't even know their names yeah he's like they own actual like businesses like chiquita banana oh that's like the uh the what's it called the telecommunications uh guru or not guru but uh the guy from you know the richest guy in mexico carlos slim yeah slim how they say like he's connected to it but they can't they can't like uh 100 the richest guy in mexico 100 i didn't say anything i'm not gonna say it yeah right but i mean it makes sense right yeah i mean it does i follow this up page on instagram i

10:09 think it's called like asian gangsters or mods i love that page dude sickest page yeah they have all these like like triad yakuza guys that are arrested in their 50s 60s and 70s yeah and on paper they're just real estate developers yeah but then when you read the stuff they're charged with it's like prostitution extortion drug like human trafficking there's like holy ████ visually they look like regular like old asian guys no tattoos they look like dudes you could kick in a stomach 300 style and be like ████ but then you'll regret it afterwards because it's like they have a whole army but they look like geeks dude yeah they look like dorks like there was that one guy all right you have to be nice to die tomorrow he was like a california senator um leland oh yeah yeah he was working with the

11:00 shrimp boy to smuggle guns to the philippines and rpgs and ████ yeah ████ ████ that and he was like one of the biggest proponents of uh anti-gun gun control his name was shrimp boy no or that was yeah that's why you always you always got to suspect the unexpected asian person yeah and when people have like hardcore stances because he was super against the second amendment so that you increase the price in the black market yeah so which benefits him on the other side
