Army veteran and former law enforcement officer Cory Gautereaux, founder of the GOAT Initiative, joins the show to reveal what he’s uncovered while investigating activity along the US–Mexico border. Through grassroots intelligence gathering, recovered cell phones, and on-the-ground investigations, Cory has identified networks tied to human trafficking, counterfeit documents, and even communications linked to Chinese nationals coordinating border crossings. We discuss how volunteer-led efforts and technology are exposing gaps in federal enforcement that most Americans never see. This episode breaks down the evidence, the methods, and why Cory believes the border has quietly become a national security battlefield.
