On my recent broadcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with J.J. Carrell, host of Truth with J.J. Carrell on WorldviewTube, to unpack a disturbing web of interconnected threats facing America today. What began as a discussion about a Zero Hedge article titled "Rogue Soros-Funded Non-Government Organizations Plot Multi-City Assault on Tesla as Domestic Terrorism Escalates" quickly spiraled into a broader examination of how NGOs, cartels, and even elements within our own government are working in tandem to destabilize the nation. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the time for half-measures is over.

The NGO-Cartel Connection

The Zero Hedge piece caught my eye because it aligns with a pattern J.J. and I have been tracking for years. Since at least April 2018, we’ve seen coordinated efforts by groups like Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and others—often backed by shadowy funding—to silence conservative voices. J.J. recounted how his own events were canceled mid-tour due to threats from these groups, a tactic that’s now evolved into something far more sinister. Today, we’re seeing NGOs allegedly plotting attacks on Tesla facilities, a company synonymous with American innovation and Elon Musk’s bold vision.

But it doesn’t stop there. J.J. pointed me to an interview by Ben Burquam, a fearless investigative journalist, who exposed how NGOs along the border—like "No More Deaths" and others—are potentially collaborating with cartels. Burquam’s source suggested these groups are strategically placing water drops for illegal immigrants, suspiciously aligned with cartel smuggling routes. How do they know exactly where to place those supplies unless they’re getting intel from the cartels themselves? J.J. put it bluntly: “Criminal activity and criminal conduct overlap each other. It’s a web.”

This isn’t just about immigration—it’s about power. J.J. explained how the cartels, much like Amazon, have built a sophisticated infrastructure within the U.S., moving from subcontracting to gangs like MS-13 to running their own trillion-dollar operations. When you squeeze their smuggling routes, as the Trump administration is starting to do, they don’t just roll over—they fight back. And they’re not alone.

The Deep State’s Role

The conversation took an even darker turn when we addressed a second Burquam clip revealing that ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) is releasing illegal aliens arrested by Tom Homan’s team. J.J., with his decades of law enforcement experience, called a high-level ICE contact to confirm. The answer? It’s not ICE dropping the ball—it’s liberal immigration judges (IJs) under the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR). These activist judges, many former defense attorneys, are bonding out illegals faster than ICE can lock them up.

This is a judicial crisis, plain and simple. J.J. argued that we’re in a constitutional showdown where the executive branch—led by President Trump—needs to assert its authority over a corrupt judiciary. He invoked Andrew Jackson, who famously defied the Supreme Court in the 1830s, saying, “Thank you for your opinion. Now come and enforce it.” Trump, J.J. insisted, should take a similar stand: “I’m the executive branch. Thank you for your opinion, judges. Now go stick it.”

A Nation Without Men

Perhaps the most chilling part of our discussion was J.J.’s lament about the state of American manhood. He recounted footage of Tesla dealerships being vandalized—spray-painted and torched—while employees stood by, calling 911 instead of defending their property. “Where are the men?” he asked. “If I worked at that Tesla dealership, those two would have their heads caved in.”

He’s right. We’ve demonized masculinity and neutered our police, leaving them begging protesters to “please stop resisting” instead of taking decisive action. J.J., a former law enforcement officer, recalled how weak colleagues made his job harder—emboldening criminals who saw no consequences. Today, that weakness is systemic, and it’s why chaos is spreading unchecked.

I took it a step further, arguing that God Himself ordained individuals and families—not just governments—with the authority to defend themselves. Look at Abram in Genesis: when Lot was kidnapped, he didn’t wait for a court order. He armed his militia, rescued his family, and was blessed for it. In America, we’ve lost that. If a father today beats a kidnapper to a pulp, he’s as likely to be arrested as the criminal. That’s not justice—it’s insanity.

The Clock Is Ticking

We wrapped up with a stark warning: if Trump doesn’t act decisively, the left will cement permanent power. J.J. laid out the math: 50 million illegal aliens, counted in the 2030 census, could flip 60 House seats to blue states, giving Democrats an unassailable majority. Add D.C. and Puerto Rico as states, stack the Supreme Court, and it’s game over for the Republic.

Trump’s window is narrow. J.J. urged him to deploy the military domestically, bypass the broken immigration courts, and deport illegals en masse. “Stop this garbage of they get to see an immigration judge,” he said. “You’re illegal, you’re gone.” I agree. This is a national security emergency, and it demands a wartime response.

A Call to Action

J.J.’s new website, jjcarrell.com, is a treasure trove of his work—books, documentaries, and exclusive interviews like his recent hour-long sit-down with Colonel Douglas McGregor. You can also access his vault at worldviewtube.com/jj, where subscribers get his content plus mine and every other host’s archives. It’s a resource for understanding how history and current events collide—and how we can fight back.

America is at a crossroads. The NGOs, cartels, and deep state aren’t testing the waters—they’re waging war. If we don’t reclaim our nation with bold, unapologetic action, we’ll lose it to those who hate everything it stands for. The time for talk is over. Let’s act like men, stand like Abram, and take our country back.
