recent estimates by researchers know digital ad spending is set to outpace television by next year. keep in mind youtube has only been around for ten years. >> the google sales team brings their advisers up and they walk around and are able to see creators who are shooting real professional content using big fancy equipment. a facility like this brings you a front row seat to what each side is doing. >> nielsen statistics show more 18 to 49-year-olds, that key demographic that advisers want to hit watch youtube more than any other major u.s. cable channel. astonishing. >> this generation has a knack forgetting on camera and creating content. >> pictures are my favorite souvenirs. >> it's because of youtube space that carly kloss can add producer to her resume.

>> i feel honored. producer, i'm not sure if i'm there yet. i've made many bloopers. there's been a huge learning curve about what do people want to know, what can i share. part of the reason for me starting a youtube channel was because i feel so great that i have this point of access, the fashion industry, incredible creators, designers, artists, and i travel the world. >> but for kloss it goes beyond programming her own channel. she's learning how to code, starting code with carly. >> we support scholarships for girls to learn how to code. that's how you sort of make change. that's how you have more women intact. for me my focus is just to encourage more girls to get excited about coding and realize

5:04 pm
we're following breaking news out of waco, texas where there has been a shooting we're told between biker gangs. >> at least five motorcycle gangs gathered. >> nine people dead, more than 170. >> on may 17th, 2015, hundreds of bikers convened at a restaurant in waco, texas. >> nine people dead. >> before long the gathering gave way to the deadliest biking brawl in recent history. it's unclear exactly how it started, but many bullets were fired. some by police. when the smoke cleared, one member of the banditos motorcycle club and eight members of a rival club were dead.
5:05 pm
law enforcement immediately heightened surveillance on motorcycle clubs nationwide. particularly on those known as one percenters, an elite group of biker clubs that consider themselves the toughest around. the government classifies these clubs as criminal gangs. they include the banditos, the hell's angels and a group the federal government has been after for years. ♪ >> the mongols. this east l.a. based club denies allegations that they are criminals and they want to set the record straight. one percenter clubs almost never give interviews but for the first time ever we're invited to embed with the mongols. they are considered to be the biggest and baddest clubs out there but they want us to see what they are about now. the first thing they invited us to is family fun day.
5:06 pm
from what i can see, family fun day is exactly what it sounds like. wives, kids, potato salad, amusements, and a few hundred hard core bikers. >> that's a real biker right here. >> david santian is the mongol's national president. nearly everyone in the club is given a nickname and his is lil dave. when you do normal events, you are normally not stressed in shorts and stuff like that, right? >> obviously we're usually on our bikes wearing jeans, boots and vests with patches on. >> why is it important to not show your colors on a day like this? >> we like to say so we won't attract law enforcement's attention, but law enforcement is still here. >> is this typical? >> sometimes but in light of waco, law enforcement is at a heightened level but as you can see we're no threat. every time we go to an event, we
5:07 pm
police our own people and clean up after ourselves better than the normal citizen. they're just wasting their time. they should be out there chasing real criminals. >> do you think you'll always be played by your class. >> there's always going to be that stigma hanging over our head. we're the mongols motorcycle club. >> the mongols came on the scene in 1969 when a group of latino vietnam vets were allegedly denied access to the nation's most infamous biker club, the hell's angle and like the army, they refused to let anyone stand in their way. they joined the one percent of biker clubs that live outside the rules of american motorcycle association and proud recall themselves outlaws. today, the mongols have chapters all over the world and although they are under constant scrutiny from law enforcement, their membership continues to expand.
5:08 pm
how long have you been part of the club? >> i've been here for a while. >> i'm a prospect now. >> what does that mean? >> that means i'm fighting to earn my way in. >> and so what kinds of -- can i ask what kinds of things you do as a prospect? >> pick up trash, serve beer. >> did you do that as a prospect? >> yes, you don't come in for free. >> out of curiosity, why the mongols? >> i was in iraq in '07 and '08. the brotherhood is something i always wanted. >> are there similarities between a motorcycle club and the military? >> i can point out any brother here right now and they have got my back 100%. same thing as the military. >> i meet another young member who introduces himself as dead man. >> how did you get the name dead man, because that's probably not your birth name, right? >> no, not my birth name. i think i just would rather not say. i'll keep that one to myself but yeah, that is my name. >> got it. how did you even know about the
5:09 pm
mongols? >> some of them had took me in like father figure. i don't have a father, so that's what it came down to, when they took me in. loved me, treated me how somebody should. when it came to joining, it was no issue. i already knew. >> as someone who grew up without a father, what does this brotherhood mean to you? >> i can count on somebody other than myself. you're here. you see us. what do you think about this? it's great, right? >> it's a great family barbecue. >> this is what we do every sunday among our chapters. we know each other's kids and families. what else could you ask for? the police and everyone else, the stuff they are dishing out. that doesn't discourage anyone from anything. >> these men seem like family guys who just happen to be fond of harleys and tattoos, but i know there is more to the mongols than family fun day. in 2008, news broke that federal agents had infiltrated the mongols and arrested more than 75 members on charges ranging
5:10 pm
from racketeering to drug and weapons trafficking to murder. among the convicted was the club's national president at the time ruben cavazos who they alleged was the mastermind behind their criminal activities. he's since been ex-communicated from the club and lil dave stepped into his role. what i want to know is have they really cleaned up their act? hi dave, how are you? >> i'm hot. >> good to see you. >> and if so, why does the fbi still classify the mongols as a violent gang? >> hey. >> here come more guys. for my first glimpse deeper into club life, i catch up with lil dave and a few of the guys at a local bike shop. how are you? i'm lisa. >> tommy gun. >> nice to meet you. >> pleasure.
5:11 pm
how often do you-all get together, your chapter? >> as much as possible. as much as possible. >> is there like an obligatory weekly meeting? >> every now and then, yeah. [ laughter ] >> getting these guys to answer my questions isn't easy. >> i mean, does the truth ever really come out? >> i notice a couple of them are talking about the shootout in waco. out of curiosity, have you both been in places where things like that have happened, like fire fights or melees or anything like that? >> no. >> no comment? just wondering. i mean, can you -- what do you do in those situations? do you just -- no comment? okay. still, no luck. >> what's up? you're supposed to be a professional. >> but the next day i catch up
5:12 pm
with dead man and one of his brothers, soldier, more willing to open up. soldier, you're the one that introduced dead man to the club. >> yes, i did. i always said i wasn't going to bring nobody in the club but me and him got history together. >> but you always said you weren't going to bring anyone in? >> yeah. >> why is that? >> it's a big responsibility. you got to vouch for somebody that may not make a lifetime commitment. i take this as a lifetime, it's either death of prison. i'm not going nowhere. >> that's serious, death or prison. >> that's how i live my life for this club. if i could die for my brother to live or go to prison for a brother that can't handle going to prison, i'll do it. i've already been there, done that. >> you have mentioned that you've been in prison. can i ask you what for? it club related? >> no, it wasn't club related. i was cultivating a little bit of marijuana. >> must have been more than a
5:13 pm
little bit more than a little if you went to prison. >> just a little bit. nothing major. >> would you be able to have the same size marijuana operation under dave? >> no, dave don't put up with that. right now criminal activity isn't even a part of club life. >> why do you think you're so often referred to as a gang? >> well, it's not always been kosher, you know. always some little bumps in the road here and there and right away they have to label us as a gang. >> one kind of similarity you might have with gangs is there are wars over territory, like for example, if some hell's angels came into this bar, what would happen? i'm just curious. >> maybe nothing would happen. i don't know. maybe they might buy me a beer, you know, but i wouldn't take it. i would probably spit it back in there and give it to them and say here is your beer, thanks but no thanks. [ laughter ] >> which would probably start something.
5:14 pm
>> hey, might happen. but i don't -- they wouldn't come in here, though, i don't think they would. it wouldn't be for their best interest. >> there is clearly some hostility between the mongols and the hell's angels. i want to figure out what started it and how serious it is now. ♪ nothing artificial. just real roasted turkey. carved thick. that's the right way to make a good turkey sandwich. the right way to eat it? is however you eat it. panera. food as it should be. when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan.
5:15 pm
treatment with xarelto®. hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto®. nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve
5:16 pm
or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto®... ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. (patrick 2) pretty great.ke to be the boss of you? (patrick 1) how about a 10% raise? (patrick 2) how about 20?
5:17 pm
(patrick 1) how about done? (patrick 2) that's the kind of control i like... ...and that's what they give me at national car rental. i can choose any car in the aisle i want- without having to ask anyone. who better to be the boss of you... (patrick 1)than me. i mean, you...us. (vo) go national. go like a pro. hey, brother, what's going on? okay, cool, yeah, because we got a busy next two weeks to get everything done before nationals. >> in two weeks, the mongols motorcycle club will hold one of their national runs, an event they have been having a few times a year since 1969. >> thanks, bro, later. >> hundreds of members from all over the country will ride in a pact from los angeles to palm springs. then spend the weekend partying and taking care of club
5:18 pm
business. the national president lil dave is knee-deep in preparations. >> we got to run. just robbed the place. just kidding. [ laughter ] >> just a little biker humor. going to pick up some patches for the run and be patching some brothers that earned their right to become full-fledged brothers in our club. >> at this national run a few perspective members will receive a patch that signifies their full acceptance into the mongols. i asked dave for more details how the patches work. can you talk about the patches on the back of the vest? the mongols top rocker and the center patch with genghis kahn rocker and identifies the state that the brother is from.
5:19 pm
>> and do you have to earn those? >> i mean, you earn them in steps. it's a three-step process. >> a perspective member first earns the bottom rocker. then the center patch. and when he finally earns the top rocker, he becomes a full-fledged member. >> so everything is in here that i needed? >> the significance of these patches runs deep. >> can you talk about what that meaning is for you? >> for me it's total commitment to this club. i would be willing to take a bullet for a brother and a brother who would be willing to take a bullet for me so you get into a jam, a brother is there to help you out. >> people have fought and died for -- >> -- for the patches. >> for sure, right. yeah, back in the day, i mean, we win a war with another organization for that purpose. >> dave is talking about the hell's angels. >> the mongols started wearing the california bottom rocker. >> that's correct. >> and the other club wasn't happy with that. >> right, because they felt they were here first. it was a big war. they were blowing each other up. they would disrespect us or shoot us or try to blow
5:20 pm
[ bleep ] up at a funeral home when we're trying to bury our brothers. there was no respect or honor, but at the end of the day, we weren't going to let nobody push us or bully us around or run us out of town. we were here to stay and we weren't going to go nowhere. >> is it obligatory when you come across bikers from a rival club to battle it out? >> i wouldn't think so. maybe back in the days but not anymore. >> so you could kick it with the hell's angels. >> i wouldn't break bread or drink beer with somebody from that organization. i have enough brothers to do that with, and at this point, our fight is against the government. >> the mongols are facing a landmark legal battle. federal prosecutors are seeking forfeiture of the trademark on their patches, arguing they emblemize a violent criminal enterprise. dave invites me to a hearing.
5:21 pm
i see he traded in leathers for a suit. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> i didn't even recognize you. >> i clean up well. at least i'd like to think so. >> is this your attorney here? >> hi, how are you? >> pleasure to meet you. >> how are you doing, buddy? >> good. >> so what could happen today? >> there's a lot at stake, i guess. a chance to maybe get this thing thrown out, put an end to the prosecution. there were roughly men accused back in '08, and they have either served their debt to society or they are currently doing it. what they are trying to do now is go after the other 700 that have nothing to do with what those men did. >> so this is potentially a big day. >> huge day for us. been under indictment for the last seven years now. you would think enough is enough. >> ladies first. >> the judge doesn't allow our
5:22 pm
cameras inside, but a spend a few hours in the hearing. the case does not get dismissed. and i'm a little shocked by some of the things i hear. i mean, when i was sitting in that courtroom and the judge was reading off the different acts of the indictment. >> right. >> he mentioned murder. >> sure. >> and drug trafficking. >> right. >> and robbery and money laundering. >> right. >> you've been in the club for a long time. >> right. >> you had to know that some of that stuff was going on. >> the drug trafficking, i can't really speak on. those are individual acts. it's not as a whole, as a club, but as far as like the murders or the attempted murders, they were self-defense. what i tell my brothers is as an american citizen, you have the right to defend yourself by any means possible, but just somebody saying something or getting in your face ain't enough to jump. if somebody gets shot or stabbed right from the gate, of course you're going to defend yourself. you're not going to sit there and let yourself get murdered or
5:23 pm
killed. >> in court prosecutors referenced a deadly clash between the hell's angels and mongols that took place in 2002. surveillance cameras recorded the incident at a casino in nevada. >> they came to us. we didn't come to them. they drew the first blood. unfortunately, two of their guys died and one of our guys died on the floor of the casino. it was an unfortunate incident like many, but that was a club act of accept defense. we were minding our own business. >> the government also alleged that in addition to the main patches on the backs of their vests, mongols can earn patches for other things. i saw that there is a patch skull and cross bones -- >> uh-huh. >> -- for taking out a target. is that true? [ laughter ]
5:24 pm
>> i mean, here is the thing because it's online so you can, i mean, tell me as much -- >> public record. i haven't seen it online. that's news to me. >> i can pull it up right now. [ laughter ] >> you know, in a self-defense situation, maybe a brother was awarded that, but i can't get into a whole lot regarding the patches. it's just -- >> it is in the indictment, and -- >> it is public record. it is in the indictment but on the patch situation, i just want to keep full anonymity on that. >> okay. >> part of the reason why people i think are suspicious of motorcycle clubs is because there is so much secrecy involved. >> there is secrecy but it's not as sinister and evil as people would perceive it to be and that's why i opened my home and my club to talk to the media for that reason.
5:25 pm
>> dave may not be willing to tell me everything, but he's already opened the door further for me than for anyone else. in fact, he agrees to deepen my access by allowing me to speak with the prospective member. i've heard that getting into the club can take months, even years of hard work, but the process has remained largely hidden from the outside world until now.
5:26 pm
5:28 pm
5:29 pm
>> mike is a former marine that hung around the club for years before they invited him to be a prospect. so you're a prospect and have three kids? >> correct. >> he's trying to prove his commitment to the club working full time as a carpenter and take care of his kids. >> mind if i check in? >> who do you have to check in with? >> my sarge. >> what? so this is something that's obligatory? >> checking in. >> all right. all right. get with another patch holder and if they see if they need you to pick up their luggage tomorrow. >> 10-4. >> so you might have to go pick up luggage. >> whatever they need. whatever the patch holders need. >> are you on call 24/7? >> pretty much. it's just showing your dedication is here. >> is it hard when your kids are here to have to leave? >> no, it's not because this is what i want and what i'll put first. i know that's what i got to do.
5:30 pm
that's my mentality. >> and how long have you been a prospect? >> 189 days, six months. >> how long could you be a prospect? >> as long as they want you to be. >> when you got the call from leadership saying it was okay to talk to us. >> correct. >> how did you feel about that? >> honestly, i didn't really want to do it. i'm a prospect, and i don't want to say anything wrong or to offend anybody from the club because this is everything to me. this is my family. i'll sacrifice anything right now to be a full patch member. >> where did that passion for the club come from? >> just how they treat me and embrace you. every one of them makes you feel loved. >> the run to palm springs. >> correct. >> i know they will be patching in some people. do you know if you'll be one of those men? >> no, i do not. i'll be patched in when ready but i do not ask. >> if and when you're a full patched member, how do you think you'll feel to be wearing that mongol patch? >> on top of the world.
5:31 pm
on top of the world. ♪ >> seeing how much mike is willing to sacrifice to become a member is helping me understand why full patched mongols are so dedicated. drew is president of the santa fe springs chapter and owner of no regrets tattoo shop. why is it important for members of biker clubs to have tattoos identifying them with their clubs? >> for me it's pride and love i have for my nation for the club. >> are you surprised law enforcement might call you a gang because you kind of look the part? >> yeah, i can see why even other every bike clubs would call us chol, o's on wheels, gangster bikers. >> what is the gang?
5:32 pm
>> you have to be a breadwinner to be in this club. that's one of the first jobs we ask, do you have a job? his family owns a street sweeping and graffiti cleanup company. you can't be a dead beat and join the club. that apt going to happen. >> hey, dave. >> just watching something that looks painful. >> yeah. >> so what exactly is that face you're tattooing? >> pretty much our center patch, depiction of genghis kahn? >> is anybody whose a mongol get a mongol head tattooed on their body? >> you have to ask lil dave. >> have to cut it off me? >> cut it off you. >> what would you do seriously? >> we'd ask you to either remove it or cover it up nicely
5:33 pm
>> what if i refused? >> nicely. [ laughter ] >> that's as nice as it gets right there. >> can you talk about how you earn them? >> no. that's a touchy one right there. >> so can you at least tell me who okayed your tattoo, sweeper? >> he's doing it. >> so what does it mean to be a one percenter. >> being a biker, the bad part of the biker world. we don't take [ bleep ] from anybody. if somebody comes and steps on our feet and don't apologize, then they will get [ bleep ]ed up. it's that simple. we demand respect. respect is a big thing in the whole biker world. ♪ >> the more time i spend with these guys, the more i'm seeing how significant this brotherhood is in each of their lives. there's something primal and tribal about it. these guys are willing to die and kill for each other and there aren't that many other outlets that allow men to feel

that kind of alpha way, and i get it. i'm not a man, but i get it. it doesn't get more alpha than hundreds of men who call themselves brothers riding on the open road. and i'm going to experience it for myself. dave has invited me to join the mongols on their national run to palm springs. >> before you leave i want to give you something. you good with that? >> yeah. >> cool, come on. so i know you're going to go on a ride with us real soon here and just want to give you your first helmet, a jockey helmet, novelty helmet with the tags not used. nobody else has used this. >> thank you for that. >> this is your helmet. >> should i be nervous? >> not at all, you're with us. nothing to be nervous about at all. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> as soon as i pull out, a pass a mongol that's been pulled over
