Hey Guys!

We're glad to be back. After a much needed 5-day break from work wherein we brainstormed in the snowcapped Rocky Mountains about the multinational expansion of C5 after receiving an unbelievably dope amount of international correspondent submissions, we're back on track and in the lab. 

Here is the final episode of the 'Defend the Border' Convoy series, which will wrap up our border coverage for now. This episode documents a rally that took Christian campground called the 'Children's Ranch' in Quemado, TX, which had an expected turnout of 700,000 trucks, according to 'God's Army' projections. 

The campground is about 30 miles north of Eagle Pass, TX, which is the epicenter of the standoff between Texas State Guard and Border Patrol, where we hopped the Rio Grande in our last YouTube episode, Border Patrol Arrest.

In this episode, we talk to the 'Snappin Grannies', a pair of two god-loving, anti-woke rapping cousins from Texas about their Social Security Benefits and so forth. We also speak to our first Brazilian, and film some epic moments of prayer. 

You may notice the audio quality from my voiceovers is a little choppy -- our microphone setup is having some problems so I recorded into my phone, but we're fixing it!

FYI - if you submitted a 5 minute, 55 second Channel 5 Correspondent Submission, we're watching through all 550 submissions on a daily basis and have been getting through about 40 a day, so should be all wrapped by next week and choose our finalists!

Best

AC and LS

Phew, C5 I hear you about taking these groups seriously and trying to understand why they feel like they do, but as we're seeing so much of the philosophy is simply not based in reality. They cannot be reasoned with or convinced otherwise on anything- it's unfounded conspiracies all the way down. The final scene was amazing though, really enjoyed the sirens/megaphone/gentle guitar strumming mix

Exceptional journalistic integrity. I used to get angry about pieces like this not making it to a wider audience due to the MSM quashing of anything outside the narrative. These days I'm just sad. I am grateful for the opportunity I have to experience your content, and utilise the information you bring to expand my own conversational perspective on these topics.

So happy to be on your Patreon and part of this dope ass community of people who appreciate fire journalism and good vibes. Well done #55

When you have people on opposite sides of the political spectrum, all commenting on your video here, thinking you made this video just for them…..you are creating great journalism.

I really wish that when Andrew was doing his little closing comments spiel, that he would have taken a moment to remark on how despite having basically nothing to do with the border crisis, multiple interviewees deemed it necessary to establish their hate/fear/disgust/whatever for trans people. I think that the way trans people have become target #1 for the far right's hate sticks out really prominently in this footage, and it's disappointing that Andrew either didn't notice this undercurrent or chose not to comment on it. I get that you're trying to be Fair and Balanced, but to not draw that connection is to leave out a pretty key part of the story that this interview footage has to tell.

That Brazillian kid is a literal anchor baby. I had to pause the video to die laughing for a few

TransFormAndFunction

I also wish he'd cover it more closely. In a lot of these videos people do drive-by-transphobia, and it goes without comment. The legislation and violence being mounted against trans people is incredible, but for the most part no one is talking about it in the media. When entire states ban healthcare for trans people, mainstream news doesn't even cover it anymore. It really does seem like journalists and Dems are content staying silent while the right makes good on its promise to "eradicate" trans people from our society.

Oh, these comments always astound me. Great video as always the highlight of my week is when you guys post. Loved the Brazilian guy absolutely hilarious.

After watching this video I just felt bummed. We’re able to identify the issues in society so well these days yet we’re just going around in circles not capitalizing on solutions. What will it take for us to breakthrough this bs and work together to progress as a humanity? We’re fucking ready.

great video, awesome to see some journalism that isn't all about dunking on people. the social security angle is interesting, it's practically abolished elder poverty, however i'm not sure it was ever intended to be a 'living wage' so to speak, but rather a supplement when someone is retired. probably worth a deeper dive into the program and whether it'll be solvent in 10yrs. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/socialsecurity.asp

Getting the conservative side isn’t really just going to the rallies that attract the most “out there” crowd. It’s like showing the 1% of the 99% then saying they are the same… oh and the trans community in the comments; give me a break. The video basis is on a completely different subject, don’t detract from a crisis with your own, have some empathy for other issues in the place we call home. Love AC content even though I feel some is directing hate at “the right” inadvertently.

Hey Andrew. I respect your dedication to covering all sides of the spectrum here in America. As a transwoman I'll say this though, we frequently hear little snippets from far right ppl about how we are a disgrace and part of the problem. Meanwhile trans communities across the country are suffering from many issues you've recently covered like drugs, un/underemployment, housing, etc. as well as violence and policy directed towards queer youth and families. I think it's fine to include these snippets bc it helps characterize the politics of the right, but I hope you are able to find a sympathetic way to portray our trans community in the us as well. I feel like often this channel has a voyeuristic gaze towards trans ppl that isn't as humanizing as what you've extended to other communities in your coverage. Ik it's difficult to include everyone's voice, but I know your team tries to do it's best so I'm just bringing it up here. Keep up the good work!

Landon Willis

Thank you AC! Nicely done. Enjoyed the late video freestyle breakdown

Agreed. I feel like when queer and trans ppl are included in this series it's pretty voyeuristic. Ik his team does their best but it's an obvious blind spot imo. There's a lot of trans ppl speaking up about what's going on in our states rn, a lot of ppl fighting for their lives and their communities. Here's hoping that presents some good opportunities for the C5 team to investigate and share some of our stories.

Yeah I believe you are correct Cole. I am 28 and investing into multiple retirement accounts which will also supplement my social security benefits (assuming it’s still a program when I’m old enough). But I wonder what % of Americans that receive social security have other retirement accounts… I bet there’s a bunch who could never afford to invest in them and are only trying to survive off social security

Sadly you see it on both sides. Its just an instant I dont agree with and refuse to talk to you because of it. Theres never any discussion finding common ground anymore. Its just hate so often. I wish more people saw that the media really is trying to divide us as much as they can. The school I went to showed us how to see bias and what to look for misinfo. Its personally helped me steer away from just going on a full on hate train to once side.

As a child born in the mid-90s by immigrant parents, it's not at all a cakewalk like these folks think it is lmaoo! Especially after this desperate journey. And the majority of folks who think this mass migration doesn't seriously need to be stopped—very rarely do they actively support the immigrant class. People don't immigrate here to fool around. They do it because even being at the working class bottom here in the States, affords them basic conditions that they may not have ever had back in the places they're from. And the icing on the cake is that every day here you can truly dream of becoming greater. Your possibilities of having a "better life" are not capped. They're endless.

Wait… Brazilian dude was an anchor baby? And doesn’t realize it? He was born in America while his parents were “seeing if they wanted to live here”? Edit: also - regarding the editing of the HBO movie/general discord being sewn: I think you are on the right path. “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing”. Continue bringing viewpoints to light without lampooning them and everyone will be better for it. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that”

Yeah from what I’ve experienced, the average conservative supports trump, and to support trump is to stand behind all his stolen votes conspiracies, and and his unfounded knuckle dragging hatred. Sure “the left” being unwilling to understand “the right” is an issue but it doesn’t even compare to the destructive force that is the lunacy of the right and their intolerance towards people who aren’t Christian suburbanites

Me too, but on the other hand I'm sceptical if the same type of content fits here in Germany. Like the man in the street interview style won't necessarily work out like it does in the US, because of the german mentality (I think).

Really like the neutral tone in the interviews and then the commentary in the end.

But waiting for 24 month on an approval to legally enter the US doesn't sound like a plan either, especially if you have external factors at play, that pressure you into illegal entry and/or claiming political asylum.

I wish you could cover the migrant issue in Denver, CO. The city was welcoming migrants, now they closed their doors to the shelter leaving 2,000 people homeless adding to the city’s homeless crisis, and making statements on the local news to “stop sending migrants because there’s no money left in the budget”. Why make the promises to immigrants, and then show no hope? The city has been taken over by migrants huddling at red lights to wash windows asking for pay on Colorado BLVD. I want to ask these people their story, but i have just begun my Spanish and it is not strong. Plus, I’m a woman and as much of a feminist I am, i will admit i do not feel safe to ask people about their life’s due to my past experiences. I’m glad to see you’re back doing this much needed work

People who sing "this land is your land" often do not include or even know about the verse that's about jumping across a wall because there's no such thing as property rights.....

Eamon Mulholland

The thinking of “oh you are dissatisfied with the cost of living or [insert problem in society]? Why aren’t you in favor of leftist social programs or [insert leftist policy]?” is predicated on the leftist philosophy that direct government action is the best way to address most/all problems. If you believe that churches, businesses, and other organizations are not effective or reliable engines for social change, then the government is all you have left to shoulder every burden and fix everything you think is wrong with society. Most conservatives do not believe that, so of course social programs are not their first thought after noticing an economic issue. They think (correctly or incorrectly) that ill conceived government funded social initiatives are PART OF THE REASON why cost of living is an issue, etc. I would love to see Andrew push people a bit more with questions like “and how would you propose to solve that?” or “what do you think the role of the government is in regards to this issue?” etc.

wow, so i signed up for $5/month Patreon to support this young fella that i remembered seeing years ago. When i saw him go to Mexico and come back across i was like damn thats real, and then to hear his braindead commentary on the trucker rally people who are not saying at all that the illegals are bad people in whole, in fact everyone he interviewed said just that, and he goes on to sound like a liberal dumbass criticizing them for protesting an illegal invasion of our country. The old dude who made the analogy of his boss telling him to steal at work hit the nail on the head! All of these people are familiar with corruption and lying politicians and to say that Joe Biden told them to come is such BS , as if that means its okay. Many of these illegals have been lied to and manipulated, true, but it doesn't change the simple fact that they shouldn't be here illegally . Obvious, simple truth, and yet Andrew doesn't get it still. These people are mostly old and white, yes, and they lived in the good ole America that actually was greatness and they are trying to advise you on how to keep it. But your helping the other side with this BS.

Sadly, this problem doesn’t have an easy solution. If you want people to come in legally, it takes a long time. If you are an asylum seeker, you’ll be dead by the time uscis officer will tell you “OK you can come in” .if you want people to come in legally, then you have to agree to spend tax money on it

I think your being overly sensitive or your bias is bleeding through to your interpretation of what Andrew is saying/doing here. The only thing that came off as a criticism (from Andrew towards the convoy) to me was that a lot of people's main complaints were in regards to cost of living and their government money not being enough to cover it, and then blaming migrants for that issue in some form, when migrants have like nothing to do with that in reality. To me it seems like your just the type of person that whenever you encounter even a whiff of something being stated that doesn't fully buy into the conservative narrative it upsets you so you just go on the attack.

who's the other side, MAGA? I found this to be even keeled, & was relieved that Andrew hasnt completely lost sight of the progressive ideals that first brought me here. This video was a little centrist for my tastes, but I can appreciate his intentions. btw it was NEVER greatness here in the USA. Like not ever. Don't let the myths you were taught in elementary school fool ya as a grown ass man. WE are the baddies. Always have been

I find the Holy Bible to be a bit Kayfabe for my liking. Especially in the social media era. Kinda reminds me of the old regional wrasslin' promotions, before WWF globalized the sports entertainment. It just seems.... silly in this day & age. I find the Satanic Bible, & the interpretations of Anton LaVey, to be more salient &/or appropriate for a 2024 United States culture war landscape. Have a gander when time allows.

You're killing it this year Andrew! I appreciate your recent approach with not trying to make anyone look stupid. It's wild to hear these stories where I feel like everyone is coming to the conclusion that our systems are broken, but they come to these conclusions for completely different reasons. I hope journalism like this can help people everywhere start to turn their attention to the real players at hand causing systemic issues.

so judging by most of the responses on my earlier comment this place has become libtard central. Perhaps they were just triggered because i called America great, "AMERICA WAS NEVVERRR GREEEAT !!! OMG WHITE CHRISTIANS !!" yes white Christians the people who freed the slaves, won the wars, and spread civilized society around the globe to shit hole countries where people wipe their ass with their hands! Those terrible white Christians just wont quit complaining about the democrats who completely ignore the laws and undermine society how dare they complain about 3rd world shit holes emptying their mental instututions and prisons and giving those degenerates a one way trip into the states over the open border, what gives them the right !?

Old republicans want a socialist program to take care of their retirement. This is almost funny. The right should try to abolish it and focus on better tax-advantaged retirement accounts instead if they're so anti-socialist and want to "work hard" for their retirement.

Whenever I hear these people go on about doing it “the right way” it just makes my eyes roll out of my head. Like coming over that way costs a lot of money. Money that these desperate people don’t have. My bf’s uncle brought himself and his family over “the right way” and now he’s here but financially ruined. It cost him his entire life savings.

Respectfully, Andrew, the closer here wasn't a message that I'm down with. The "common ground" and "why do Trump people believe what they do" as an idea is something that so-called mainstream media has ran with since 2016. It's not a new idea, and we've all seen these people with these same ideas since then. I understand that you're trying to hit the gonzo angle to find something new here that isn't mocking them so we can ultimately have a group enlightenment moment about how we all want the same things and need to blame the puppet masters instead of punching down, but these people are absolutely unable to be convinced that their enemy isn't as simple as "people who don't look like us" and I know that you know that. Why is literally nobody asking progressives why they "are the way they are"? Because it's boring? Because we're not generally sycophants with shitty merch? I'm exhausted from being told that I need to understand MAGA folk when they sure as hell don't want to return the effort. And, nah man, it wouldn't have been lit if Trump or Palin showed up. I get that it was kind of a joke, but no. Giving them more attention is literally the problem with MSM right now.

I don't like the assumption that they're being manipulated? Like they wouldn't be aware we're sending hundreds of billions to foreign countries? They can come to an event that's a few days long to protest our money going to immigrants while also being upset with how tax dollars are spent elsewhere. You're assuming they're stupid.

Trump's biggest accomplishment in office was to give the rich a huge tax break. A tax break that even Republican voters overwhelmingly disapproved of. Of course the right has to find a scapegoat, they're sabotaging our main means of funding social programs to help their "donors" out.

Andrew needs to do a piece following some of these migrants further, or somehow getting a better view of this "they're being brought over to vote" thing. I'm pretty damn leftist, but I would never expect to move to another country without doing the whole process they require. It's something I'd considered and passed on before. And sure, desperation would change that equation. So why are there so many desperate people? It'd also be interesting to look at all the old white folks leaving the US for cheaper countries in South America. Seems like the US is a great place to live if you're able-bodied but poor, and SA is great if you have some savings but aren't so able-bodied. But more than anything, I want to know whether any appreciable percent of illegal immigrants are actually voting in Federal elections. I just don't buy it, and I don't know why there hasn't been better investigation of this question.

I do wonder how folks overlook this. Lack of publicity? In-group thinking? At the end of the day, people who are doing well want things to stay the same, and people who aren't doing well will want things to change (and most will look *anywhere* they can to justify needing that change, short of saying "because I personally can't cut it"). Leftism is blaming the system, Rightism is blaming individuals other than yourself. Neither is based in recognizing that we all have common needs and faults (wanting to feel included, not wanting to be on the losing end of a change, etc.). I feel like we could build an entire political party off of that reality if people were OK with being honest with themselves and others about individual limitations and those deep, underlying fears that motivate everyone.

Well, at the end of the day, there's no such thing as fair or unfair, only force. We construct societies because that tends to work better for people than going it alone, overwhelmingly so. I tend to think it's more useful to look at it from a sustainability angle. Can a society sustain itself with extreme inequality? It's obvious that certain people are very good at leveraging their advantages into extreme wealth and power, but will the society they exist within be able to support that indefinitely? I think not, as the cycles of history show us. There's a very good chance we see the US collapse in our lifetimes.

I'm a diehard fan and this is a great video but I have to disagree with increasing Social Security checks. The math just doesn't work. Social Security is already our biggest federal expense, and it's going to get unsustainable. As people get more advanced degrees and start working at 22, or 25, or even 30, there's less working years (compared to working at 16 or 18). And if lifespans increase, then we'll have more old people to collect payments, so the ratio of workers to retired starts going down. I'm just hoping that in 40 years I can collect the same amount instead of 25-50% less.

Agreed with this take. It would take a TON of political willpower to increase it that drastically and I think that money could be better spent elsewhere. Imo the better way to help the elderly would be to increase the regulations on the for profit eldercare industry as a whole - a ton of crazy high costs with garbage care

I get your point, but coming from the Netherlands where social expenses are much higher I tell you: it's worth it.

Nice coverage, Andrew! You mentioned that you don't think they can vote. That's absolutely true! I think it's worth demystifying what undocumented immigrants actually have access to in terms of public funds. (it's not much!) They are relagated to either working illegitimately under the table without building credit, or they have to pay taxes for benefits they will never be eligible for (social security, Medicare, etc). If they are allowed to stay in the undocumented status, they end up becoming a literal second class that lives in the US without equal rights

Anonymous

Immigrant here. I think they need to make "the right way" more approachable. However, I think the argument is fair that we should, at the very least, have a record of who is entering the country. Your uncle came here "the right way", but now his family is able to participate in American society without needing to work under the table. They are eligible for public funding, can build credit, and can even run for public office if they want to. This is not the case for people that cross the border without invitation.

I'm so sick of hearing "I love immigrants, I just want them to come here legally" drivel out of the mouths of these racist assholes.

I think this whole situation is so sad. This is a perfect example of government corruption. Politicians on both sides do nothing but lie and give false hope. They constantly lie to American citizens. So they damn sure don't mind doing it an immigrant. Most of the people coming here are probably good people. People that want to work to take care of their family and build a nice life. They have no idea they are being lied to. Politicians will be the only ones benefiting from this. When they can no longer benefit from it. They will no longer see or have a reason for them to be here. Then they will push the federal government to follow the Constitution.

Except many people feel that way, including people who immigrated who are now full citizens… just because they’re against illegal entry doesn’t mean they’re racist. This stance is held by many people from and in many different countries.

Hey, I love your commentary and these absolute journalistic pearls Channel 5 is making. It is extremely eye-opening and educational for someone learning about USA. I am learning a lot about the American republican mindset and what it's all about. So just as a background I'm from a North European country that is so socialist, even the most far-left transgender illegal immigrant antifa freedom-hating communist American would have a stroke if you knew my opinions and how much I pay in tax. Please take what I say next in this context. I really hope that Channel 5 can be a trojan horse of empathy and understanding between the two sides that have formed in USA. I agree with much of what you said in the closing statement of your video, but I don't like that it could alienate your conservative viewership. I want them to stay on as much as possible. You're really good at letting people speak their truth, and not interject your own opinions on them. This is something Channel 5 does really well. I'm afraid that if you comment too much on how the right wing has "misunderstood" this and that, they will be turned off from the rest of your truth telling. Don't turn them off. Don't lecture them. Do not talk just to pander to the left and show yourself as an "ally" to them. If people think you're a Trump loving racist, then let them. Just show the truth man. And reveal how much the ruling class absolutely disdains them and every inch of freedom they stand for. Thanks for reading.

I think it's important that a certain amount of facts are mentioned between the interviews. Clear neutral facts (migrants without passports cannot vote, for example). If these facts happen to make the interviewee look stupid then thats not Andrew's opinion. I know its getting harder and harder to find a common reality to argue on, but leaving everything said just there as an "opinion" (I think btw that there is a difference between saying what you think and an opinion) wouldnt be propper journalism.

I’d love to understand why it is that the conversation in the US doesn’t immediately go towards figuring out why the government, regardless of party in power and for a very long time, has been consistently taking decisions that have ultimately resulted in so much of the country not feeling supported and with low quality of life. It’s not normal to spend as much as the US does on healthcare as a percent of GDP. Forever wars and spending money on them take resources away from supporting people, with whatever is left over being spent on a healthcare system that is so expensive it sucks up 16% of GDP. BUT realizing that this has been piling on for many, many decades across periods of time with both republican and democratic presidencies. The problem is obviously elsewhere..,

Brother man! My first comment is, your comment on the "Snappin Grannies"... you said, and I'm paraphrasing... "these ladies are brain washed by the media and we need to have more social programs that help older people and veterans", I love you, bro!!! Uber talented, great kid! I've been watching you for years! But, (and maybe they and others like don't articulate themselves very well but...) THATS EXACTLY WHAT A LOT OF THESE FOLKS ARE SAYING!!! We have plenty of places to spend our tax dollars! We don't need an extra 5,000,000 people coming in every year, with there hands out! And, just like the snappin grannies there said,I don't blame them, one bit! It's our governments fault!!! I see you growing... you'll figure it out... Not that I've figured it out but, I hope and pray you and other people your age, figure it out! Because I think you could do a lot of great things! I believe we are on the cusp of a revolution of some sort, and it could go either way! Unfortunately, I think if we do, make it out of this in your lifetime and in a positive way... it'll be a dang miracle! Ps - sorry for all that... I'm hitting play again

Andrew, your point about focusing on the underlying issues that cause someone to blame their material problems on others is well taken. However, what you may find, overtime as you do this work, is that these people are just plain _assholes_. and they are assholes because they lack empathy. empathy, and being able to collaborate and build community is core to humanity. it's an ancient trait, gifted to us by evolutionary mechanisms. These people's sense of community building does not exist until: 1) its a problem that affects them directly, 2) the community members are part of the in-group that opposes an outgroup. This is different than building a community based on welcoming others without an 'us vs them' lens to the situation, for the sake of looking out for each other. they seem to lack this ability to empathize with other humans that dont look like them and dont come from their same geographical region, so how do you develop empathy in people so that they stop applying the 'us-vs-them' framing to their whole outlook on life? I applaud your efforts for capturing these events on camera

It truly is the case that propaganda about USA being number 1 has hit every corner of the globe, and most migrants don't know any better.

Love the broad lens on the right but hoping to see some coverage on the left before the election. Maybe visit a college campus like NAU or UCLA to see how the opposite of old white conservatives think because its' an equally narrow but more convoluted scope.

Your finger pointing at the mainstream media as one of the root causes causes for these beserk conspiracy driven points of view is so disappointing. The mainstream media does not represent a single homogenus point of view - CNN and FOX do not speak as one - so But whatever role it plays, has been amplified a trillion fold online. I understand it plays into your own desire and ambition for the new media to supplant the old, but you have to acknowledge the role Twitter, Facebook and yes, YouTube play in spreading ludicrous right wing conspiracies and driving people and politics to extremes.

Honestly I’m doubting how good of an idea social security was in the first place. My hypothesis is that children used to be able to support there parents once the got to the age in which the needed to do that. also most companies used to give very generously retirement funds however many of these systems have been phased out in favor of of the old 401k in which you fund your retirement. I honestly think the invention of social security led to companies becoming less invested in taking care of their people and fed into the hyper capitalist economy we have today.

Kendovak

I’ll add the caveat that churches used to take a larger role in may people lives giving them the structure and support which older Americans needed. In a lot of ways. But as usual smaller scale government tends to cater towards the need of a community more effectively. More education is essential however as many who are apart of these religious groups now have become fragmented and hyper defensive about certain issues as they feel they’re way of life is under attack. Honestly presenting statistics without shutting them down as Andrew does is usually effective with most rational people. A lot more work will have to be done on this front though.

Zaden Smith

Hey Andrew hope all is well, just wanted to say if you’re interested in the underlying reasons why these beliefs occur, I’d recommend checking Jonathan Haidts work out. He’s got a book called righteous minds, and it’s an interesting take from the moral psychologist who tries to explain the complexity that goes on with morality. Additionally, this is something Jordon Peterson (ik, controversial name but his works are interesting too) was working on regarding personality temperament with political beliefs as well. Not sure if they’re entirely right or wrong, but in case you’re interested there’s others out there looking into similar things as you. Always love your content and the current direction you’ve been taking the channel with. Safe travels!
