MS-13, a product of American foreign policy, questions the need for a wall and advocates curbing violence at its source.
"MS-13 is an American creation, not just in the sense that it was founded here, but in the sense that every step of the way, it was American foreign policy that built it."
"Tell me again why this is the reason we need a wall?"
"Maybe a better idea would be to curtail our foreign policy instead of building a wall."
"You never hear them calling for strict scrutiny or vetting of those people that the U.S. military trains to murder, torture, assassinate, and dominate a community by fear."
"Stop the problem before it starts."
MS-13 has become a boogeyman, leading to calls for building a wall.
Started in California among Salvadoran refugees as a street gang for protection.
Civil war in El Salvador ended, and the US sent gang members back.
The US military trained Ernesto Deris, turning MS-13 into a criminal enterprise.
The School of Americas, linked to many atrocities, could be where Deris was trained.

Beau challenges the irrationality of spending $5 billion on a border wall for a non-existent issue, criticizing the lack of critical thinking in politics and society.
"We are people who elect rulers instead of leaders."
"We are going to spend five billion dollars to address a problem that doesn't exist."
"It shows, one, you don't know how the government works, and two, there's actually a word for a blending of private business interests and the government. It's called fascism."
"So the wall, assuming it works, will actually pump more money into a criminal cartel that is destabilizing our next-door neighbor."
"Nobody in DC is going to look out for you."
Border Patrol uses the number of border apprehensions as a gauge for the influx of immigrants, which is flawed due to technological advancements.
Despite claims of record-breaking illegal immigration, the numbers are actually at a 40-year low.
Trump's immigration policies may not be the reason for the low numbers, as they have remained relatively consistent for the past eight years.
The US is no longer a beacon of freedom and critical thinking, electing rulers instead of leaders.
The government's plan to spend $5 billion on a wall to address a non-existent problem is irrational.
Lack of critical thinking is evident as people donate to the GoFundMe for the wall without understanding government processes.
Beau humorously suggests starting a GoFundMe to audit the funds raised for the wall through the IRS.
Trying to influence politicians through private donations is concerning and hints at fascism.
Beau challenges the idea of the wall being effective, pointing out flaws in the plan and how smugglers could adapt.

Beau explains the concept of "Rule 303" and challenges law enforcement officers to fulfill their duty to protect without excuses or prioritizing self-preservation over others.
"Rule 303 meant having the means at hand and therefore the responsibility to act, not might makes right."
"Your duty is not bounded by risk. Your duty is not to get up and go to work every day. The guy at Hardee's has that duty."
"They care about the students. That's it."
"The gun makes the man. Don't you think that might be reinforcing the thought process of those kids that go into schools and shoot the place up?"
"If you cannot truly envision yourself laying down your life to protect those kids, you need to get a different assignment."
Explains the origins of "Rule 303" among military contractors, originating from a historical incident involving a soldier using his rifle caliber as justification for actions.

Beau delves into the concept of duty through the lens of recent events, from Mattis's resignation to the inherent lack of obligation for law enforcement to protect citizens, urging a reevaluation of governmental roles and citizen empowerment.
"Law enforcement is not there to protect you. We do not live under a protectorment."
"Government is there to control you, not protect you."
"Do some cops save lives? Yes, but they do it in spite of the law, not because of it."
The theme of duty is prevalent in recent news, particularly with the ruling from a federal court in Florida stating that law enforcement has no duty to protect individuals.
General Mattis's resignation is believed to be driven by his strong sense of duty, as described by other Marines who worked with him.
Mattis's disagreement with President Trump on withdrawing from Syria stems from his belief that it leaves allies, like the Kurdish people, vulnerable.
The Kurdish people, an ethnic minority spread across countries like Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, are seen as being left without support once again by the U.S.
The U.S. historically has not supported Kurdish independence due to geopolitical reasons and the Kurds' potential to destabilize the region.
The imminent U.S. withdrawal from Syria may present an uncertain but possibly opportune moment for Kurdish independence efforts.
Law enforcement, as per existing case law, is not mandated to protect individuals, even in extreme scenarios like mass shootings.
Beau underlines the idea that law enforcement is part of a government meant to control rather than protect citizens.
Despite some officers' acts of heroism, there is no legal obligation for law enforcement to protect individuals.

"When we see it on TV, we turn it off. That's happening somewhere over there."
"Money makes the world go round, right?"
"It does have to be somebody from here."
"At this stage in the game, the way everything is interconnected, any revolution that is not global, it's not a revolution."
"It's just a thought."
Analyzing the internet tough guy as a symptom and analogy for American foreign policy.
The internet tough guy's behavior stems from being insulated from consequences, much like American foreign policy.
Americans can ignore horrible foreign policy because they are shielded by the military machine.

Beau lays bare the longstanding tradition of addressing social issues in comics, challenging fans to see beyond the surface and confront their privilege amid societal changes.
"Social issues have always been in comics. You were just too dense to catch it."
"If you have a privilege for so long, and you start to lose it, it feels like oppression."
"Two chunks of plastic have had more of an impact than the actual stories of people who underwent some pretty horrible things."
"There is no tyrannical, feminist regime coming for you."
"It's always been there. The reason you're noticing now is because the social issues being addressed are striking at the heart of the comic book industry's core audience which is white males."
Using Elf on the Shelf to address social issues has sparked anger and controversy on social media, particularly among those who are critical of feminists addressing social issues.
Beau shares his perspective on how comic books like Punisher, G.I. Joe, X-Men, and Superman have always addressed social issues, despite some fans missing the underlying themes.
He points out that even seemingly masculine-themed comics like Punisher and G.I. Joe actually tackle social issues like PTSD, feminism, and political commentary.
Beau explains how characters in these comics represent deeper themes such as trauma, feminism, and societal commentary.
He contrasts the strong feminist undertones in G.I. Joe with the perception that comics should not address social issues.
Beau challenges the idea that addressing social issues in comics is a recent phenomenon, suggesting that it has always been present but may have gone unnoticed by some fans.
The backlash against using Elf on the Shelf for social commentary is juxtaposed with the lack of empathy towards real-life stories of hardship, drawing attention to the disparity in reactions.
He brings attention to how two plastic characters, Libertad and Esperanza, have sparked more reaction than the real-life stories of individuals facing hardships at the border.
