Investigating Illegal Sweatshops in BangladeshAdded:
Greetings friends and welcome to Bangladesh where today we are searching for the purveyor of this fine textile here, this baby gap sweater. I'm here in the industrial district. We're searching through all the factories to find the source of this piece of clothing. So, let's do it. Hello, sir.
>> Bro, the first thing I found in a store is made in Bangladesh.
3705.
>> How much do you think it cost to make one of those?
>> I have no idea, but not very much. Tiny little thing.
>> All right. Thank you so much.
>> Have a good one.
>> Thanks.
Okay.
Oh my god.
All right. And of course, we got the middle seat on the hardest flight of them all. Hell, I'm not taking any chances, bro. I am not getting sick on thising flight.
All right. Well, this is normally when I would take the mask off, but honestly, honestly, I probably shouldn't. I mean, look at theing air out here, guys. The smog on the horizon.
Welcome to Bangladesh. Oh no, I missed the bus.
Well, >> all right, guys. We finally made it to Bangladesh. The chaos, the madness, it's all here, guys. Right now, the AQI or the air quality index is listed as above 180, which is a dangerous amount. It means that the air is hazardous to breathe. And I know that because I pull it up on my phone here because I have a SY e SIM allows me to stay connected in over 200 destinations and learn interesting facts like the air quality index. Guys, I've done horrible things for data. Terrible, unforgivable things.
In the Delhi airport, I once gave an Indian guy my passport, credit card, and mother's maiden name, and he disappeared for 45 minutes. What he was doing in the bathroom that long, I have no idea. It's such a hassle dealing with these people at the airport when you don't know the currency, the language, and you just want to get to your hotel. That's why in your next trip, you've got to get your eSIM with SY. Scan this QR code right now and check out their convenient packages for your next trip. So, you'll have data right when you land. It honestly can't be overstated how big of a deal this is. When you first land in a foreign country, you have so much to do.
Get through customs, exchange currency, grab food, download the local apps, use Google Translate, bargain for a taxi, navigate to your hotel. Don't add another thing to your list. Download Sale right now. Use code SBA eim at checkout and get 15% off your next eim.
>> Hi, >> how are you? I'm fine.
>> Other taxis.
>> Taxi.
>> You're a taxi driver. I need to go check >> location.
>> Okay. How much?
>> Let the games begin.
>> 1,500.
>> 1,500. Okay, no problem. You know what?
The guy gave me an honest price right off the rip. Everyone else said a taxi should be 1,500.
I'm not going to bargain with these people. It's That's the honest price.
Look at that. No one's screaming at me for filming. I think Africa prepared me for the subcontinent. Okay. All right.
All right. All right. It's fine.
>> This is your car.
>> Mashallah. Thank you, brother. Hab speaking Arabic with this guy. I just saw the women in the jobs and just started to speak Arabic. Byebye.
>> Okay, brother. Bye-bye. I love you.
>> Seems to be some troubling noises from this pen's trunk. I feel like an axle is loose or something. Something major with the car is messed up. But as long as we get there, yala yala habibi.
>> Hello, sir. How are you? Alhamdulillah.
>> Here you go, brother. Here.
>> Get a new axle. That's for you.
>> All right. Thank you, brother. Bye-bye.
I love you so much. Bye-bye.
>> Bye-bye. Mashallah.
>> Byebye.

Hello. I'm thinking we go ourselves, guys. I don't I don't have all day waiting around and we only have a couple days in Bangladesh. I learned my lesson from India. You don't want to stay in these places too long. just kind of hit it and quit it, you know, before things get sour. Cuz right now, everybody's lovely. Everybody's being very nice and polite to me. I didn't feel scared about my pockets being robbed back there, even though we were being crowded by beggars.
Didn't really bother me. I'm feeling really good about Bangladesh still. So, let's strike while the iron is hot and go to Nadagan.

And now they think it's in Nang. I don't know. It's hard to find out any credible information. And there's actually a lot of jurisdiction that goes into hiding these companies within other shell companies in Bangladesh. Believe it or not, they had a lot of controversy back in the early 2010s. Uh a couple factories burned down that allegedly GAP was running. So, um it might be tough. It might be tough.

>> Yeah. No specific uh specific uh characters.
>> Ah, so it's a mystery. You don't know which factory is making clothes from which company. Only for only for gap.
No. Okay.
>> Okay. All right. Yeah. They want to conceal their identity here. They don't want to be associated with any scandals, I guess.

>> See you guys. Thank you brother.
>> They are not lacking for characters in this country. Oh my god. They are everywhere. Bice. Hello B. Hello B.
>> You know and say what you want about Bangladesh but they have mastered the art of friendliness in a big city. Think of any big city in America. Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Atlanta. People do not say hello. people view you as a nuisance to wherever they're going and whatever they're trying to accomplish, right? But here, everybody says hello.
And maybe, yes, it's because I'm white and everyone else is brown, but um that doesn't really matter. They still say hello and it feels good. So, you have all these uh political parties pamphlets littered all over the ground.
There's a bunch of bookstores here. All these pamplets here. The university is just back behind us. Asam. Is there bango bazak?

These guys are chilling.
These guys are chilling. My brain is being scrambled by this place. Holy >> Also, a distressing number of people on life support and ambulances today.
Okay, those those guys are going crazy.
That makes me feel better. They think that where they're going is more important than an ambulance with a sire siren on. But to be fair, the guy with the ambulance is probably justing abusing his power and being like, "Listen, as far as you know, there's a dying man back here, so get the out of my way." Oh, wow. That's a cow stomach. That's what I'm Hey, brother. How are you?
>> Yeah, buddy.
>> That very same industry, the meat people in Somali land, the guy tried to fight me, bro. He raised the fist of me. Those guys are like, "Hey, what's up? Hey, you want to chat?" Unheard of. Unheard of friendliness.
It's exhilarating. Oh my god. They have China has infiltrated the great state of Bangladesh. Oh my god, guys.
Before you know it, everyone's going to be speaking Mandarin. It might be a little cleaner, though.
It looks like the uh ambulance has made it here safely.
I'm not seeing any dead bodies in the back. So, how are you, brother?
>> Yeah, I'm fine. From here, >> it's it's crazy. It's chaotic. Thank you.
>> It's fun. It's fun.

Here we go. We're back in it. We're back in it. We got guys with guns. We got It smells like piss. Uh, where am I going?
Where am I going? Is that it? All right.
Now we got to find our way across the street. No killing me. You stay back.
You stay right where you are. You Prius, dude. Add Bangladesh to the short list of countries where you can film the police. Holy You cannot do that anywhere else.
>> It's here. America, I think India.
Canada, I guess. I don't know about any other country, man. That's a rare privilege we can exercise. And mother got guns, too, bro. They're just strapped on the street for no reason.
Just ready to blow someone's head off with a saw off shotgun.
Oh my god, we made it to the bastion of our five-star resort. Oh, there's a mongoose. Hello, sir. All right.
Now, we have some decisions to make. I don't know where we're going to go tomorrow, but I do want to go deeper. I do want to actually try to find the factory if uh, you know, the shady gap doesn't throw anything our way.
Oh my god, it's it's coming. It's coming.
