Most of all, Jerry over their Jerome Chase. Their of all- and this stuff is now three years old, thirty from shovelling hole,

internal. Here she is, and if you don't mind, I would like to point out something very exciting new. I do my little girl This is the very first episode of eight hundred and seventy plus episodes were Josh's wearing, advance. Why would you say that I do mine? I do mine. I take it back because I've seen you wear shorts like twice in my life, while on hunt get a load of this. While aside from every morning when we tumble out of our bunk beds, of course, anywhere in Europe, of tax Ito pants Box, but yet you never wear shorts as a rule. So I was astounded that you are them into the off at LA I like astounding, you I'd like to just you know, mix things up once a rate years. My look warted, what's gonna happen in a year. Sixteen twenty thirty two

quick math chuck. I used to play darts. Oh, you know, there's a dirty word here, but no backward yeah, it's it's! It's like free will and who cares about the dry, walk and the situation is very much crazy. Sixteen two big number and are so you get used to adding interpreting it. Is it? What's balls, I worth a million. Well I mean it depends on the historically to gains your plan D. Neither can cricket or a wine three o under five at one under her that second. Well, that's really the main game like if you watch professional darts and when they show at once, Yoni espionage, which has great fine, but the way there playing a wine which is restart with three hundred and one or five hundred one, and you work. You weigh down to zero to you getting rid of points yes, you're, throwing just for his high numbers, as you can

drivel ring and like a ton, eighty is the most. You can hit that three triple twenties and overthrow, which is amazing. So what's what's the balls, I wirthin the bulls, I know one is worth fifty and the red and twenty five and uttering ok and then you have to comply with a show and that's why I guess we are in now and then you have to go out on a like. Let's say you have thirty two left I have yet to go out on a double see. If that double sixteen to go out man, the sounds tat everybody does is drunk where that's really impressive. That right, I didn't know you play yeah played in Athens in illegal in Atlanta League, and you know Justin is he's like chairman or something of the dark legal

Or else you make their way column call me chairman: we should do in a dark, many s, the love playing do much anymore to it, so shorts darts and help them, and now we pot Gaston, then, on wednesdays we were pink today, Tuesday, there somewhere. In short, I'm wondering at meetings that wrongly little five minute, they're going to take any time. We explain something we get somethin wrong, you have, you noticed her and our job is to explain things which you said so checkers You know how, when you go through the airport, yes- and you come back into the country. From out of the country we were in the UK. Did you notice it took longer unusual to get through the airport to your stuff and out although a million I get pretty lucky, it was a pretty speedy experience. I wasn't yeah that's great

but it can vary wildly yet anything can vary while these called customs yeah passing through customs and actually used to be customs and immigration which, depending on the poor, your flying into other, be a sea port and airport spaceport, yeah, inner dimensional port teleport, Hell Report, yet scuba port sure submarine, port yup, thin airport. I guess it's the same as an airport. It? Those might have been two different agencies, customs and immigration right, not so, and in two thousand three, as the two thousand three in the United States, there were mixed together and put in Department of Homeland Security, another called customs and border protection,

and there are there one agency. Now, yes, but the point is when you come through there. If you encountered back in the day the Customs agency, they were said, hey your person, we don't care about you, we don't care where you, and we ll carry going. We don't care where you're born, but we want to know. What's on you write woods by while you're out of the country did you buy something, tell us they migrate, your shirt and shake you a little bit. Guys and you'd start crying for sure they will see to it. Yet and then, if you say well, I got this thousand dollar watch. They say you're, the United States government Money Buddy, that's right! It is a way to regulate importing and export yeah and wine. Trade right trade, exactly in trade, is obviously very old concept right yeah any any time. One group had a surplus that another group wanted. I got

Potatoes Y got lots of wheat right. Let's trade, let's trade right, while at some point people said, wait, wait. This is going way to smoothly. We need the interjected federal entity to extract some sort of a tribute from this trade sure. That's why the duties! sort of tariff is government. Coming in and saying, oh, you want a piece of that Action and depending on how you look at it, it can go. One way, like you can say well said, the federal government is essential. Promoting domestic business with true in a way right, yet good. I mean it's a good way to discourage doing business overseas is by imposing heavy error and have your tariffs yeah behaves towards if somebody's manufacturing potatoes overseas cheaper than their manufacturers. Near the american people are going to say what we want these irish potatoes their way cheaper here in any better to show

and the U S government say: well, we want you guys buying domestic potatoes because it helps our economy again, we have been Idaho right. Every lives I to her. Why not you wanna help out the ita howling, and so they all they'll place a terror for duty, or just basically an extra tax on potatoes that are sourced from outside the country coming in here, so that they cost about the same so that any red, blooded American will say. Well, it's about the same to buy. I too hope Tito as it is to buy our data by the Idaho potato and the federal government you say, look at its stamped with a pesticide. This is made in the USA yeah with tamper with the present thinking, how that would work Should we talk a little bit about history this year, because this is actually this, this technique in the? U S your government, certainly not just the. U s there. Does this fetters customs agencies it just about any develop.

Three around the world- and I would say, developing as well that this this this custom of customs Thank you is about as old as the United States itself yeah. Unlike everything in the United States, it starts with Alexander Hamilton. It's too guys so hot right. Now he so hot. I just bought some Alexander Hamilton futures the other day, so I'm sick, pretty users my brain, so what happened was health and said here's the deal goods. We don't have taxation yet because we were fleeing that kind of junk, but we're in trouble, because we need some sort of revenue going to support our growing government with only their and our growing nations infrastructure. Plus we have a lot of debts in the river

Canary war loads of death. Apparently the early Congress used to DE camp from one city to another because they are being chased by war veterans, your own money, I'm sure that nowhere to go there, no Washington DC. Yet. Oh, but I mean they were, it was conquered and they were on the run from revolutionary war. Betsy wanted their money. So, while Hamilton did not himself start the? U S Customs service, the way Where did you find this? The national? U S: Customs Museum Foundation, yes rate from the horses mouth: they they they carried him as the intellectual father, yeah of customs are getting, is a great way to put it because he said: look, we can have a federal government unless the federal government can support itself and the only way the federal government can support itself is if, imposes levies on things that really has nothing to do with yet. So President, George Washington, number one guy yelled at me, I'm ok, you're onto something here, carry your give Hamilton.

But it's a little weird with domestic taxation right now like gear, we can't do that. Yet people are keen on that. Just yet right, like will scruple far worse, the future. Don't you worry yeah just wait right now. People are hip to the idea tat. We tried ex corn in the whisky rebellion happens How do we do this? Why don't we impose tariffs on imports and raise money that way and create the first Congress, let's get together and create the? U S: Customs service. For months after we ratify the constitution there, for it was like really quick and quickly grew to be For many many many years, in fact, for most of the history, the United States, the single largest government agency in terms of size and revenue yeah for the first hundred and twenty two years of it Just answer is the number one revenue generated in an Irish came along and they said they said you can take it.

Collect revenue, yeah just watch the other than they did in two thousand fifteen. The customs agency collected think thirty five billion dollars crazy. Yet the Irish collected three point three trillion dollars. I got up up up into the air well hurry through me. I didn't close enough to make you a libertarian it's our Washington DC when earlier: I owe even have a right right. Yeah money from terrorist built Washington DC money, frontier of built, the tree that Manic trans got no railroad right, built all those lighthouses that we talked about. The Louisiana purchase, the purchase of Alaska yeah a steward, Only one point: five million square miles of land purchase right using tariffs, the the customs off right if it hadn't been for the Customs Agency, the United,

This would have only been able to expand its territory through broken treaties. The wish we were finally show but apparently reminder legitimize it somewhat. Yet so we said well, we'll just pay for some of it. Yet payment We ve been he's on the dollar, but he was very ok like we said they were the first and only federal law enforcement agency. For a long time, they handled kind of everything. Oh yeah like they were. They were doing way. Many more things than they should be doing so out of the Customs service was born things like immigration, like you, said, coastguard border patrol the oh yeah public health service in the d, a all were, formerly all that stuff was under the purview of the Customs Service and the Census Bureau, standards and measures, sage, all those cats- because apparently used to be in Congress, say we need this. We need it

doing this, you save customs, do it has this would do it for decades and finally, going to u gotta. Just we have to have this offers its own agency get eventually. They ve got smart yeah. Now, that's so it makes some what happened in two thousand three, so curious customs itself got folded in with other agencies, under the banner of another larger agency, the exact opposite of what is historically been the case here, and they go that way. So the customs agency and services, long tradition in its early years of on what was called the spoil system and that's basically cronyism political oil teasing and hook in your body, is up in your donors up, but like that cat jobs. In any kind of underhanded shady here back back room. Deal Wailea overtly! Yes, like you, raise a lot of political fun, For my campaign, so he's a cherry pick,

in the federal government's bureaucracy via the Customs service yeah and their Vincent famous men over there. Yes, some of our best writers. Actually here weirdly Nathaniel Hawthorne, he was I'm just not too distant. Here's an ancestor of the pilgrims descended the descended right. They were his ancestor right backwards and he's a great grandson of the judge. You at the same time which trials, and so he got a fat position with the Boston Custom House as the where engaged per year, which apparently is pretty important because you you'd be like humming. Let me gauge that steel to see how much many were right yet allowed him to make money enough. Should, I guess they rely on the side. Don't you think it's more or less expensive goods than what you just got near needed see laid army string me

Yet any sound gonna knock off at noon today and go right some more stuff. Yet the like this. The museum website makes this case like not just for Hawthorne but later on, for Melville to hear that both of whom were able to pursue their writing careers because of the stability and the working at customs gave them they. They credit the customs Agency for bringing Herman Melville out of an alcoholic depression following his failed attempt at a career in writing yeah, and I didn't even I mean this is a side now, but I didn't even realize it. Melville was not popular Elio after his death Moby Dick didn't blow up to what, like twenty four years later, sunlight that yeah a revised like this books thinks a sovereign area

Now I have here a bartleby. The scrivener, though I made it through that now turn of his good by better short stories is just weird. Now take a red any Melville, that's a good one. Ok, I've got Billy bide and I've read, maybe a third of it, so tough to read them As writing. Here, I think, probably even back then it was tough, but you know failed three and a quarter century and a half removed from that type of in a thought and that type of language in writing. If it's even harder, dense year for a while there I was kind of of the mind of like. Can I die without having read Moby Dick, and I cannot struggle with that and then maybe I just about everybody atheling there could totally I'm fine yet do not going to do now had rather see you know a movie

haven't seen? It only takes a couple hours of arrogance, my remaining years that I have in front of me. Thirty movies, the Casablanca still never seen that at any rate, only right not die without senior, and you should see train spotting sure whether the two classics, I guess we need to talk about prohibition a little bit too with customs and their history, because we had a great episode and prohibition sure or the caught the noble experiment. Yeah recalled the dumb experiment But this article points out that never in the history of customs has been more. You're here to work for customs than during prohibition, yet like straight up gangsters, only they were much more well funded and customs. Worse and were they would whack you now forgotten in their way There was also like a high time for bribery to customs agents were bribed like mad.

Actually there is lakes. There is. There is a general accounting officer, somebody did an investigation of customs the word we haven't found any like systematic bribery going on right, rear, systemic bribery, but just the very presence of drugs in the United States like in the massive quantities. It's in the indicates that somebody's getting bribe somewhere, it's just impossible not to we- should do a short run. Runners too sure he's just this little piece tickled my fancy they were, they had much better.

And much faster boats than customs did, so they would bring this mothership. They call the park at a few miles off. Shore aware, was legal to be their international war loaded with Rome, and then the speedboats word dumb arena for the time speedboats would just make runs out this boat as fast as a good and the customs people like we need seedy boats do right. Well, that's where speedboats came from his proficient near an we. I think we are to talk about the NASCAR thing with the fast cars came for. Prohibition of the lot of speed came out a prohibition- yes, and not the druggie kind. Now that came out of the Nazis were too. I really us the rumour, though I don't know

well we'll stick a break and then we'll come back and talk a bit more about what customs means. Today, New year's resolutions are very very difficult to keep. More exercise, save more money will have on this. We have a resolution that you can really work with stop wasting time going to the post office that right, you stamps dot com instead because they bring all the services of the. U S, postal service, right to your computer, with your small business sitting- voices or package's, or an online seller shipping out products stamps that can handle it all with ease yank it. This was simply com. You get five cents off every first class stamp in up to forty percent of priority mail. This right? U S postage twenty,

seven for any letter, any package, any class anywhere you want to send it, there's no risk and using our promo code s why s gay you're gonna get this offer afore weak trial, plus freedom, judge and a digital scale, and there are no long term commitments or contracts just go to stamp that come click on the microphone off the top of the home page and type in s. Why, as K that stance, I come promo code s. Why, as K stamps that com, we'll go to the post office again. Chuck. Yes, sir, we're back we're talking customs and when, when you talk cousin like you're talking again about the line of defence between unfettered trade across borders,

and not just with not just among major companies like importers and exporters and in manufacturers and consumers, and all that, but also in an individual level, which is why take so long to come in to the states or another country, because you have to go through customs drink there Their aim is to regulate trade names, how larger how small, yet I can. I was surprised that the generated the kind of revenue that good, because I was only thinking about smells like us, but big businesses. An I mean I was a dummy. I would even thinking that they play obviously the biggest part, oh yeah and revenue, because they pay those big tariffs on millions and billions of dollars worth of goods that they info. And it's tough to regulate that kind of stuff. You get inspect every

in container volumes in now. So, although very random there is, there is something called the safe port sack that was passed in two thousand and six and its it called for one hundred percent of containers that inner? U S, ports of any type to be scanned with x rays, our like cat skins or something like that to be non evasively stand a hundred per cent, and down, there was supposed to be a hundred for up to one hundred percent by two thousand twelve didn't happen. They gave a two year. Extension didn't happen, give another two years, things have been our yet still hasn't happened here and dumb, but their ramping up, though here's the thing there's a big debate like like the National Retail Federation. I think, is the big mouthpiece for manufacturers in this. In this argument to saying dudes this is you can't do it like? If you do, this

cease trading will wreck trade in the United States and other people like what you guys need to figure that out, because we ve gotta have our ports We need to know everything that's coming in. Why would erect trade because it will just hold eyes every yes, delays will will like gum. I remember like when this first got proposed in there. Implemented. I think it was like I m p r piece about the port it long beach and there is a deal. All this fruit, the sitting there rotting offshore because there is a lie. I remember that to get to get the stuff inspector, I guess that makes sense and so their staying still there pushing for this hundred percent mandate and in other, like the people involved in importing and exporting manufacturing, suffer saying like you can't do it you just can't there's gotta be other ways in some of the other ways there talking about her like I'm having way he seals where, like a container, is verified to have you no ex

Wade or whatever ran It's on the way out digitally here and then when it enters a poor. It goes through like an hour if I d scanner rather easier was verified intact. Somehow by and then you know when you have a pretty great idea that the the container has not been messed with, since it is a point of order that an awesome idea, it is, but it is time you have to rely on the people at the point of origin to be like yeah, sure, there's the same amount of cocaine that we put in their at the port, where we send it from Breyer ways the same, but it still Ok that you don't want in the in the third country right. You know to me, sure, depending on who you are well, then? Maybe the country of export their regulations need to be. Stick thus differ. Yeah and the weather in theirs in international proposal called the M safe. Of life at sea. I think word

mandating? A hundred per cent of all containers worldwide need to be weighed in verified before setting sail interesting, so If you put those together, you could have a pretty pretty legitimate international trade network. We do want unshipping containers, time is apparently that since the world, while the sounds like you could be a big part of our platform for run for the presidency and twenty two on, it So are we in favour of the hundred percent men either? Do you think it's insane well say we figure that out? Ok, but way that's gonna, be like you are. If I d thing: ok, it's not mine per se short. I just said with somebody else can thrive. Concern is yours thing Sorry, we were talking about business. Of course, just then, but before you tease with the this, individual, which is what device and leisure and importer Export Odin. Had

more experience with shirt. So what happens? If you come into the United States or any country here, but for EU citizens, I will come back home ok from abroad. Sir, which we just did after one from trip to Ireland and the United Kingdom there and they out on you, just as the as though they can't inspect every shipping container. They can't investigate each of our individual shipping containers, which is our body and our suitcases so they count on you to honestly declare say. I declare that I buy I'm not gonna pay for those that I bought in France, I bought my daughter a little backpack. I think it's ugly, but he likes the end. I bought my mother, a Tito at Q, gardens which is its growth and that That's all we bought. It was all forty five american dollars,

and on the right, the Stone Peace paper and hand it to you and take my word for it. Yes, and we should talk about this chuck, I found a great explain or fundamental flaws that really breaks down here, the the procedure and what the expectations of when you the interval. Traveller entering the United States are expected to say the customs rate, yes forty five dollars sure Can this be like? Who cares about a detail in a backpack that my daughter's using his luggage? now so anyway, you would think obviously don't have to say anything about the three forty four dollars. Well, if you're dummy, yes, possibly not only are useless to declare this right down the value of what you think it is you think values or the actual value based on the receipt you, if Chuck you, you take your daughter's backpack

now that you ve, bought it in already brought it in the country, can have you taken back out and like one of the straps comes off and you get it fixed abroad there you have to write down that you got your daughter's backpack fixed abroad and how much Hosty yet were like a boy Bin Laden upon pastries in Paris. I need to have my pants: let out an inch supposedly you have to cover that and claim your new, larger pants anything you buy, inherit or have repaired abroad or altered. Yet, You have to pay, you have to declare right, you don't necessarily have to pay a duty on phone, that's where the exemptions coming yeah. It varies from country to country in the United States. What is at eight hundred dollars depends on where you are eight hundred bucks is the typical, but it can go to sixteen hundred bucks if Europe in an insular possession like Guam America,

Samoa or the Us Virgin Islands right. You can buy sixteen hundred dollars or the stuffing get bring it in duty free or if you're married, you can declares family and each individual gets that allotment, correct right. So if you have something It's like twelve hundred dollars and Emily's bringing into basic four hundred dollars. You can combine the two in both jointly. I come jointly declare him first for sixteen hundred dollar you got him buying your exemptions, but let me say that on vacation what you ve never bought anything for a thousand dollar except food and wine beer, That's it the cumulative about right. They really wanted article. Is it but that's a whole other bag yeah, but there was a good rate down on us that for bushmeat like it's almost shepherded by than not by it, go abroad is urgently by here, get ripped off, I remember

I might have said this before my friend Andrew one time. His old grandmother was talking about how it's cheaper to go on a cruise. Then did you stay in New York, city cruised? All the time is right. She's like you how it's cheaper to go in the crews of its true, but for her was NEA early. She said it was about, was requested funny it with you, I mean I went on a cruise in which there is a Jerry woman on their who'd, been I'm. We went like may that she led the woman who had been nonsense like December, while she just kept like signing up for the next year's data both the whole time who is having the time of life crazy. We're? Sorry, though, I think that it used to be like you want, for the next time. You see. No, they they don't speak to you for the rest of the truth. They be great. Actually, the bother me we alone, where else

There are different growth programmes and in certain countries like the Caribbean and Sub Saharan Africa, where you can bring back more duty free items in so I guess just trying to encourage more trade with those place site which makes sense, so you have an extension of the eight hundred bucks and after that, after the eight hundred bucks you have are paying duty on stuff faint duty and obvious if you go over by a hundred dollars, you're gonna be you're. Gonna get hit, hard went with it now, not to care for your being serious. Now, no duty, still not that much, it's nothing. So if you Oh, if you, I think that the first thousand dollars after your exemption, so you have to view, would have to spend eight hundred dollars on stuff that you're bringing back in right is still just three percent yeah. So if you're, trying to like

So what did at thirty bucks on a thousand dollars worth of stuff? Yet if you bought a cut, things were a couple, dollars and you're trying to sneak it in there to avoid duty, you're just being foolish yours, you dumb here, it's like a few dollars right on that level. And the men are false. Article actually makes the point that you won't even necessarily be charged the extra additional duty, because their requires paperwork right, that the customs officers to fill out to collect. You know five or ten bucks from you. The police can be. I just keep it go. Brain has not a whole lot. Yeah here You don't have any bags cocaine in pellets in your stomach. Do you know come on? Like me, and I will go through an what's funny if you're allowed one leader of booze right, two hundred cigarettes yet and a hundred cigars, yes, what NASA unless you're an infant or a baby back, you can have

Hundred dollar exemption is a baby, but it doesnt implied a tobacco alcohol right it's no use allowed one leader per person through Customs duty, free and what's funny everybody stops, oh, I can have more than one leader right. You can buy more than when leader and if it's like twenty five bucks, you're gonna, spend seventy five extra sense on the duty. It doesn't matter yeah. I just I wanna go on record as saying I hate duty, free shops. Why? Because they are awful It's just like it's like one giant, especially in an international airport. Your forced the walk through this giant cosmetics, assault of cosmetics and in peace my sincere, and you know me and my smells like sneezing walking through their energy and it's all this, I mean duty,

I was looking up. I was like how much of a deal is this and it really depends on what you're getting well with with alcohol and tobacco, especially its usually of money, better deal. Well, it's it depends on where you are and what you're buying like. I looked up this one site that compare lot at airports in boozes and it is one booze arena was something some italian booze crystal in. Like Germany, it was fifty percent cheaper, our ass, a very good deal, but then I looked up Jack Daniels and They listed fourteen airports around the world and it was no more than like three dollars cheaper right at any of em are three year. I think it's more like the thrill of buying some booze at our big, as I think it is just a big scandia glue free everybody will what's funny, is if you, if you buy a thousand hours with the booze here, you will get that first leader exempted, but then

that you have to pay a duty on, even if you bought it at the duty free airport right his duty free when it's a free store, like they're, saying, weed if the pay duty on right when at last the savings on to you, but if you're pasture exemption, when you go into your home country. You have to pay duty. Right is the duty free refers to the owners of the store, yet they should be called duty free. For me, right men, maybe for you d, better man where you're out with your exempts yet, which is a Conky thing, to call an area. Instead, they just call it things. Remember well, I didn't know this, because I haven't been on a transatlantic fight and so many years, but they saw that jump on the plane. Oh yeah they were walking up and down the aisle can watches that, it doesn't bother me as much as the credit card pushing the credit cards here they

Seven minute announce me area about how they have this great credit card deal and get it now in. Don't you want this and then they send the people of the island could occurred.

You gonna say way be great that's what I second they weren't. There were two. What else. Oh, oh you can't. As of two thousand the year two thousand you can't bring in anything made of dog and cat fur awesome, yeah

I believe that this is a law that had to be passed when other countries. It did different things with dogs and cats. You know so you can't you. If you have a dogskin cap, need better prepared to have their think confiscated at the border. Spanked by me this thing out, just like you, bring em over here, on his interesting patient animal hide drums from animal scan. You can't take it back visit answer. And remember our own stuff? You should know tv show had a supply in an episode about a disease from a drum brought back fake, Jerry, that's rightly by Lissy Wainwright. Yes, she brought back a drawn the head. Was it anthrax wielding recognising fashionitis therewith Ellen was?

had some disease on the drumhead, but apparently- and we wrote this episode, so I guess we got it from the fact that its real thing I do not remember- I mean I don't even recall our teacher at an inn. I drank to forget so chuck. Yes, we have already talked about the thing that that Customs is known for not just regulating trade in shipping containers and all that, but fording smugglers. Right. Yes, because there's, we talk talked a little bit about run runners. That kind of thing still goes on the happy both yeah they're search you in an airport, sure yeah, that's that's the thing about customs is they do not have to have a warrant to search you, they don't even have to happen. Will cause. They can do they everything out here like what your hair looks like. I think you look like a drug smugglers. There an come into this room and take your clothes off and there

like a storied history. I guess, of of customs agents like looking at somebody and like that guy's drug meal and the press. Turns out to be a major drug meal and the vague I read this article in LOS Angeles Times, a camera was called by. It was about how customs agencies trying to on five Attard turn it into like a seminar right like take these. I gotta see their experience and yet who wish and figure out how to your house, If somebody Africa in apparently they turned Gabriel Science. In really like her, there there's courses that they, they teach customs and border control or border protection. How to set out lying or deception had originally profile firewood here, but I think it's that in this particular sector

course right. This one is em, they say well, if somebody you know, has a hat newspaper rising like that, they might put it between you and then because they're putting up your blog earlier. There deceiving the micro expression right micro expressions, body language speech patterns. Right, like I guess, if you have a very pat streamlined answer of where you, abroad bright, that's going to raise a flag interest if your nephew NOS nine back yeah view to smooth that's why way more unusual, then somebody being like well so you know I mean I went to Canada. I wasn't going to go to Canada, but when friends, so those are going to Canada. So we were, we were just gonna hang out and in in in in New York, bread so that's why I'm here yet that's step over here. No, that's

on through. Oh it is you use such an obvious idiot. You couldn't possibly be trusted with them. I thought I was a middle ground if you like, I just went Montreal. Why do you ask right then very they would say till examining his eyes off. You clearly have a suitcase full of average eggs. Would you have no short but you were talking about drugs, which is which is the big thing you again, I think he said that the DE finds its origins in customs right. That's right! An ace everyone works in concert today. The customs service will work with the D. A coastguard and creation and naturalisation because they all want to keep the drugs out so like the cost service will have a plane one of those radar planes that flies very high above looking at boats and then they'll about their would shady and they'll call down there. What's it like the coastguard or maybe their own office, because a coastguard, if you go out and let's see what's going on about yeah and what I think

corruption of this is valerius. They basically just chased him in a beau until a guy's decide to stop. What are you gonna? Do they bore the boat and say put up ear had yet and they do they have a plane. They will get a couple of things go in autumn. A jet plain detract from way behind and then a black hawk helicopter the far right behind the plan, and they don't see him here behind beneath an apparently you can't see, and I was thinking about them, like others, no side view meares on a plane, disk hysterical think about a drug play in this way long like this is a great deal to do. I like that, would gobbler right below them right dislike. I suckers! go ahead and land and then all will introduce ourselves NASA. They do in some people to say I'll. Take my chances walking through an airport with cocaine taped to my body. These people that make for the best crazy stuff smuggled through

Customs are crazy ways to smuggle drugs, but I wonder how many like about it. On the news on someone gets caught, people get away with it a lot about right, kiss the that's. What they're doing there playing the odds that you did not gonna get snuffed out, no right exactly, and I think it's it's probably exceedingly difficult these days to make it through the especially if you don't actually have it physically deposited inside your body right, because it is not just a drug dogs, but they have, they have devices they can smell air. Essentially it is. Thing device, yes and it figures out what molecules or floating around the air and if it's like our lessons, cocaine, there's probably cocaine in that person suitcase her whenever an electoral vacuum is what that's called right. Amazing

to get around that difficult to get around the dog plus also year, also being scrutinised by the Customs agent himself or herself. So I would imagine sweet of you get through unless you ve ingested. It ends people, have there's a dude who I think I'm here, for Lauderdale into doesn't fifteen, had swallowed a hundred and think forty eight pellets of coke cheese, three pounds, he had in his stomach, so dangerous and another woman got busted with three pounds in her breasts. I remember that breast implants crazy, so you still get busted, but I think you make a good point I really wonder what the estimate is, therefore, how many people who actually do make it through here, unmolested yeah here, is our deal come in and this time it was way easier and quicker than I thought, like we filled out the lower customs card on the plane, they didn't even ask for that.

Yeah you want. They asked for a couple of questions like what did you bring, and we said you know if you gifts, how much was it worth in eighty dollars and they said I will come back as that? what, through to the luggage and other would be a more have. Scrutinised process after that or something and there wasn't. There were a couple of beagles, very cute living beagles and they were walking around, and that was it. Then we gotta stuff and left well. Your bags authority on serbian X rays and gas EU like exposed to some other stuff gear and in its not just like at the earth. For ports like the border between Mexico and the United States, have like truck size x rays

there are major I my our guide through it's crazy, don't you they x ray I'm in this part of the hundred percent initiative that they want to be able to do that. You're. A hundred per cent of everything all containers come in the United States, he said, for they have x ray rooms like in total recall where you just walk everyone through the room. I may look fur weird bulges right, or a hollow empty spots. It shouldn't meter. He certainly seen smile tat. Ever I have did you ever? I remember a lot of it when, at the base player, Derek small play by Harry here, he's quince when he has met alarm and they have the the metal wand and it's going off every time they pass over his his crotch, his growing a greater and he's like you, don't know. What's going on, I know it's gone. Finally, he takes it yet area. A cucumber Ratan tinfoil stuffed atmosphere

why would it be read in tinfoil? Go out that despite the greatness of that joke, I think that is a good job. Here is very funny. What else I wouldn't things got me, which is pretty smart, so they might take. Dog on a plane air like after the aborted yet and have the dogs- and if around here because they may method is you're walking past. But if you ve been sitting on a plane for eight hours that drug smells gonna get into the sea yeah, maybe the farm income. Smell exactly into that see anything dogs nets that are stable, who is in thirteen b and they'll, say oh Josh, clerk was duty. Free shops Lincoln, like God I love him, for he components are moisturize around my I'm gonna have the by moisturize away, and then the Congo, and the next thing I know, is a bigger sitting down next to me, looking the better

you know you do, though you this space water and the Beagle Phaser for profit and make a cap out of its for what you have to go there, another thing that they're looking for is cash money Maria laundering, money and getting it out of the country is, is a big deal. Yet the custom sees something like fifty three million dollars in bulk currency, and here I think what is it ten grand that yet Claire coming back into the. U S journey anything over there and you do there now you can take it what's in and out as you want, but you have to declare it because they want to keep track of the chemist have because yeah, I don't know if we said in addition to goods being imported and exported a country is especially like a centralized federal gum.

Once. The no words arms are going sure they want to keep it to take control of that and where its monies going, because you can destabilize a country with both of those things, and so they try to keep a pretty good eye on where it's going in and where its coming from not noticing the better. It could destabilize the government, but one piece of it: they wanna tax. That stuff you know. So I am yet one of the easiest way to launder money used to smuggle it from one country to another, smuggler, the? U S, to a country that that really pay nearly as much attention them. You get some with gentlemen funds. Yet We did a absorb a money laundering correct. If we did, Everyone on police dogs are stank is all over the city. And then finally, one of the things that is a big deal if you ve ever travelled

in an out of California, let's say, is one example: they actually heavy produce, stop yeah where you're stopped in your car and they say: do you have any parties on you and vegetables plants, this the cucumber with Temple these are actually legal goods, but they are prohibited in certain areas because of infestations of various pests and notably in California, in the nineteen eighties. A couple of things happen then I can eightys was a bad decade for the Med fly in color. When you early on in the early eighties, it was a bad infestation and then Jerry Brown had a series of me deaths on whether or not the spray, the state with this growth stuff. That would kill the flies, but also et effects on the environment and use an environmentalist than it was. I think I can remember. I think he eventually did spray, but

the two long and cost a lot of money, but he also anger the environmentalist Jill be offers apathy It may be a no one situation and I'm sure some Californians will have a better memory. This in me, but the supposedly in the late eightys, there was one piece of bad fruit that caused the big met outbreak Then I looked up and nineteen eighty nine there was a unintentional, supposedly Eco terrorist attack area where a group called the breeders unleashed med flies in response in retaliation against all the spraying? Well, which does

any sense, because that would only mean they'd have spray more now. Recent stated quite think it through, but I think that they eventually said. I don't think this is real. I think this is a hoax letter, but we also can explain the concentration of some of these outbreaks, and perhaps it may have been intentional, who knows? Well, yeah eco tourism has put his person. But the idea that the first one, though, was completely accidentally, was one bad piece of fruit that one traveller propose Ellie. I couldn't find like Ngos, Euro that started it then I looked around a bunch, but I couldn't find like verification. We hear her wise, really big on that to that, and then out of your memory. But last year in May of two dozen fifteen Johnny Depp caused a huge stink, he and Amber her eye opening his mouth have you ever heard were arm

they were in Australia, for I think, a premiere one of those parts of the caribbean things and down like ages, dogs with them on a private, yet out of that, sending him through quarantine trusted huge stink and rightfully so, like the Erika an amber herders, Amber heard. You know later, I think those who, just like we don't have to deal with the spring. The dogs near who cares is who cares about the stupid quarantine law? This continent's just an island You remember that that's what they call that privilege. Yes, rules on environment and creatures, shame them well good. Johnny. Depp, then listen to this I think, you're finally already said. Finally, cultural artifacts are regulated. Although fine art supposedly is not subject to tear,

right right duty known, are beginning to cultural artifacts, because so much of it is looted. I sit, I should say a legitimately looted. All those things are looted by ice. Apparently, immigration in customs enforcement is big in cultural, artifacts, reproof, repatriation right and there's a difference between ice and customs and border patrol or border protection. Yet apparently, customs and border protection staffs the borders they protect the borders and then ice immigration and customs enforcement carries out law enforcement that has to do with customs in immigration within the United States had so, if you make it through, which you make it passed, customs and border protection, you still have to deal with ice coming in finding kicking down your door

and being like give us back that mesopotamian tablet. I say who are you and they say where ice I've played by the rock? I imagine the guy from the shield eyes that the ball did yeah. I never saw that hurdles get a grip. Yeah yeah! I was definitely arm over. By the wire gazebo came out at about the same time, the wire women's there's, not a fair comparison, there's a few different shows, but it was not a man like there are several episodes that were like episode for the first season of true detective. Seen from beginning to end. You know, I think I realize, after our talk when I said I didn't want on, was Nypd Blue I think I know you're not alone or yellow. In order I haven't aversion. The cop shows oh yeah. I think so

like I watch the wire and watched till street blues when the eighties and wants the level that show which is funny gives it wasn't. Like a kid, Schoeffer told your get Diana and I don't think I watch the whole lot of like a watch Dexter son, but that wasn't exactly any more a serial killer show than a caps here and it got really worth around six men off the rails is but you're gonna want you like options, did watched her detective season, one kind of count. I went off the rails to what foresees you first season, one like the last couple of years is kind of a let them whatever to care for it went on the rails, I'm not that negative its tv some important, and we consider it is reality. Visa now really didn't change your life than anyway, you anything

nope. Third customs, if you want to know more about it, there is plenty more now you can take that word in the search bar has the words that com is unsafe and search box. The listener. I say this is something to open our eyes. I hey guys is a canadian happy to spend one long walk recently listening to the mysterious feet, washing up on the shores of BC, British Columbia, you said that there was a shockingly large number of missing per cases and while its true, you guys express, surprise and threw out if you humor suggestions on why, but there's one concrete factor really contributes the high rate of missing individuals. It doesn't get air internationally, but only recently became newsworthy within Canada, even disappearance and murder of native in indigenous women who live in the province. He heard of this year couple: people email them right after that. I really came out yet very sad

She said no, and let's talk about it, it seems are one our last prime minister, even straight upset you that missing and murdered native women were not a priority, for the government. See now far as I can see the wise, pretty clear it's happening in its allowed to happen because of sex More importantly, racism, you're, really good, making tree challenge sexism. Whenever you can- and I commend you for that but it was a missed opportunity now to discuss racism and open it up to a similar discourse, and I e mail back ass. I thought it know about this until we totally would have so much for continuing you do the show and people ask why I love it so much. I simply tell them your camaraderie and ease makes me feel like. I know you both its always find a listen to things explained by your friends. That is Emily, Owens personally in Kuala Lumpur, but of Montreal of Montreal Canadian.
