- 0:03Speaker 2: But Joe Logan Experience showIn My Day Joe Rogan Podcast
- 0:08by Night all day. Art was the fast, like driving
- 0:14over from the common Store at like one o'clock in
- 0:16the morning hearing some dude claimed he was a time traveler.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Remember when he uh, there was a dude that claimed
- 0:22to work at Area fifty one and then it cut
- 0:24out that.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Yeah, the show cut out. Yeah, that was a good one.
- 0:29Art was the man. Yeah. Yeah, that's why we put
- 0:32that photo up there because he was you know a
- 0:34lot of the subjects that we covered. He was the
- 0:36original guy talking about these things on the radio. Yeah.
- 0:39Speaker 3: And then the fact that he just kept the open
- 0:41lines if you were a time travel if you're a
- 0:43time travel or just call in and tell tell us
- 0:46what's going to happen in.
- 0:47Speaker 2: The future, people that were kidnapped by Bigfoot, like no
- 0:50matter what. Art was like, interesting, tell me more. Yeah,
- 0:53Like he was open to just talking to anyone. It
- 0:56was great. He never called bullshit, no no. So the
- 1:00last time I saw you, he gave you an Aztec
- 1:02death whistle and Brian Callen blew it on the air
- 1:05and it caused the pandemic. He was very good at
- 1:08it out of nowhere. He's just like grabbing and woo,
- 1:12we have another one. Oh no, don't Probably that's Luke
- 1:17Caverns gave us this one.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good one, right, that is a beautiful one. Probably,
- 1:22let's not repeat it.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I'm I don't know if it's true or not true,
- 1:27but it's an odd coincidence. Definitely, it definitely was.
- 1:32Speaker 3: I got a lot of messages about it, like, hey,
- 1:35this was kind of coincidentally at the start of this
- 1:37pandemic that conducted. Don't put this on me.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Listen, man, people have been blowing them whistles all over
- 1:43the world. Yeah, there's a bunch of those whistles out there.
- 1:45There's no way, there's no way. The only thing is,
- 1:48I don't think anybody ever blew one on a podcast
- 1:50that was seen by millions of people.
- 1:52Speaker 3: I mean, you were directly responsible for those to become
- 1:56this viral popular thing. Like a few people knew about them,
- 2:00but they became this international thing now, like everybody talks
- 2:03about death whistles now because of it.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, they are weird. The sound is creepy, Yeah,
- 2:11you know, definitely weird, ghostly. Yeah, if you heard dudes
- 2:16in the distance making that noise, and you knew that
- 2:18people were after you, and you heard that, you'd be like, oh,
- 2:21fuck yeah.
- 2:22Speaker 3: I mean it keeps it definitely keeps you up at
- 2:24night seeing people do pranks with them just screaming them
- 2:28at randomly in the middle of the night in the street,
- 2:30you know, people running around.
- 2:31Speaker 2: What is the origin of that? Like Aztec death whistles,
- 2:34Like when did they start using them?
- 2:36Speaker 3: Does anybody know people keep finding them? I mean, Aztec
- 2:40is a modern word for Mahika, which were a bunch
- 2:43of tribes that moved from northern you know, northern America
- 2:48down there, and they brought with them a lot of customs,
- 2:50but I think those were around before them. You know,
- 2:54a lot of them emulated animals, so a lot of
- 2:57it was like shamanistic people trying to in view themselves
- 3:00with the spirit of an animal. So a lot of them,
- 3:02you know, have jaguar sounds coming out, uh, But some
- 3:06of the ones that would the scream apparently they're more
- 3:09about the screeching owls that live down there. But they've
- 3:15been like people told me that native people down there
- 3:18told me that they were very much specifically kind of
- 3:21utilized for psychological effect. Yeah, make them not sleep during
- 3:27these flower wars where they would have with the I
- 3:30think the classical Tekens, they had this agreement where they
- 3:33would go and try and capture people to bring back
- 3:36to the pyramid to sacrifice. In a way they would
- 3:41they would, uh you know, tire them is to you know,
- 3:44blow those at night where they were encamped or where
- 3:48the places where they were about to attack. So the
- 3:51you know, loose sleep with those, like a few hundred
- 3:54of those.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Just yeah, people can be really devious, Yeah, when they
- 4:00know how to mess with your head.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Yeah, you know the Mexica and again people glorify a
- 4:06lot of people from Mexico that everybody's Astex You're probably
- 4:10not Asstek, You're probably some other tribe that didn't lose
- 4:13that initial conquest.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Yeah. A lot of badass dudes have like Aztec tattoos
- 4:18on their back and stuff like that. But that's the
- 4:20losing side. Though.
- 4:22Speaker 3: The Spanish came and allied themselves with everybody that hated
- 4:26the Aztecs, including like the classcal Tecans who were who
- 4:31are apparently bad asses. They Astecs used to send tax
- 4:34selectors out to them and Apparently one of them didn't
- 4:37come back, according to one story, and the soldiers came
- 4:41over like, hey, where's our tax Selector's let's feed you
- 4:45before you before we.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Talk about anything.
- 4:47Speaker 3: So they fed them posole and at the end of
- 4:51the meal they were like, well, you can take your
- 4:53people back with you.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Where are they? You just ate them. They were in
- 4:56the stew.
- 4:58Speaker 3: And those are the guy that the Spanish shyllied with
- 5:02fight against the Mexica Jesus.
- 5:07Speaker 2: The history of Mexico is so strange. I mean, it's
- 5:09so long and storied, and there's so many chapters of
- 5:12it that are very confusing, because like where'd the Mayans go?
- 5:18Like when they found the Aztec pyramids, people weren't even
- 5:22living in them. When the people that eventually wound up
- 5:26living in them, it's they found them.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Ti Wakhan, which they call the It's basically the city
- 5:33of the Gods is what the Aztecs call them, because
- 5:35they didn't it was abandoned when they went through, which
- 5:38is nuts. Yeah, they were the Aztecs in essence, were
- 5:41violent immigrants coming from the north into into the South,
- 5:45which is pretty interesting, you know, But yeah, the city
- 5:50was abandoned completely and when they passed through it was
- 5:54the city of the gods they called the Pyramid of
- 5:56the Sun and the Moon. But realistically, nobody knows what
- 5:58those pyramids are for.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Uh.
- 6:01Speaker 2: And when they made it their way into the.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Valley of Mexico, there were already a bunch of tribes
- 6:06already there and people's older peoples. So Mexico has an
- 6:12ancient history. People that want to assume that the Aztecs
- 6:15of ancient history don't know anything about history. They're pretty
- 6:18new on the on the scene as far as history
- 6:19when it comes to Mexico.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Which is really crazy. Yeah. Yeah. And it's really crazy
- 6:24that most modern people don't even I mean, especially in America,
- 6:28don't even understand that the reason why everybody speaks Spanish
- 6:31is because the Spaniards. It's not that the Mexican native
- 6:35language was Spanish, No, No, it was the language they
- 6:38assumed once they were conquered. Yeah, and there's a bunch
- 6:40of lost languages.
- 6:42Speaker 3: Yeah, something interesting happened with them. And they're non quotes.
- 6:46And the conquista and the Spanish are all perfect villains
- 6:50in history. I guess people, it's it's it's perfect.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Man.
- 6:53Speaker 3: If you kind of look at it from the outside
- 6:55perspective colonial invasion. But when you go but when you
- 6:59look at I mean, they were just getting off their
- 7:02own conquest. They were conquested by the Moors, so they
- 7:07were getting free from that. So they were already mixed
- 7:10in there. Brown people on that boat. It's not blonde
- 7:13haired white people coming on that boat. There's already brown
- 7:15people on that boat coming or non contest is very
- 7:20much painted as a villain in this story. But when
- 7:24you kind of look at the ways that the conquest
- 7:26took place in Mexico versus other parts of the world,
- 7:29there was a lot of brutality, There's a lot of ignorance,
- 7:31a lot of religious nonsense on both sides, because the
- 7:35Astex also did a lot of horrible things. But in
- 7:39the end, I think Mexico went around the route of
- 7:43misty Sake. We decided to mix, like the Spanish decided
- 7:47to take wives among the natives. They decided to give
- 7:51honorary titles to the people that helped fight the Aztecs
- 7:54to help with the conquest of what was in Mexico
- 7:56was just this valley at that time and gave birth
- 8:01to this culture, this mixed culture that very much hates
- 8:05parts of itself, which is a weird part of Mexican culture,
- 8:09because you ask anybody in Mexico, a lot of people,
- 8:12and I went to Mexican school, so I got a
- 8:14lot of this education of how the evil Spanish came
- 8:17and wiped out all of the natives, you know, or
- 8:21most of the natives, when in reality, you know, a
- 8:25lot of us in Mexico have mixed blood. Most of
- 8:29us have mixed both. There's a lot of Spanish blood
- 8:31in us. So we were very much taught to hate
- 8:34ourselves in a way, and I think that has something
- 8:40to do with a lot of the psychology and the
- 8:41culture in Mexico. There's a whole part of our history
- 8:44and ourselves that we hate. But it's essential. Like we say,
- 8:47like the President of Mexico, the past president, the current
- 8:51president are all about sending the King of Spain letters
- 8:56to have him apologize for the Conquista. And it's funny,
- 9:01like some of the bloggers from Spain will respond like
- 9:03you're you're you're asking that in Spanish?
- 9:06Speaker 2: Yeah, right, and you're probably an ancestor of those very people,
- 9:10so it's kind of you more than us. Yeah, because
- 9:13we didn't even go over there.
- 9:14Speaker 3: We're still here, yes, yes, and well right and people
- 9:18that's where the Mayas went, they're there.
- 9:21Speaker 2: You go down there, Yeah, they look they look exactly
- 9:25like the paintings.
- 9:25Speaker 3: If you've ever been to the Anthropology Anthropological Museum in Mexico,
- 9:29which I highly ask people to go and visit, it's beautiful.
- 9:33Uh they have a whole Mayne exhibit there, and it's
- 9:37like startling how their culture was so advanced, uh, so detailed,
- 9:41so detailed orientated, and they know the whole feeling of
- 9:46them just being gone or like disappearing as a mystery.
- 9:49Speaker 2: But then you go down there and you see these
- 9:51people there they look Mayan. Yeah, they look very different.
- 9:55It's interesting. You know, I went to uh chichen Itza,
- 9:59and first you just I mean, I know that the
- 10:03Pyramids of Egypt dwarf even that, but when you go there,
- 10:06you're like, what happened? Like how did you guys do this?
- 10:09Like how are you building these immense stone structures in
- 10:13the jungle. Way before Europeans ever settled into America, Like,
- 10:20way before there was anything like this anywhere else.
- 10:23Speaker 3: A lot of strong backs, a lot of work ethic.
- 10:25You know, there's no doubt.
- 10:26Speaker 2: There's no doubt there was a lot of that, but
- 10:28there was also a lot of like incredibly sophisticated engineering. Yeah,
- 10:33like this isn't just like a one time project. You
- 10:36got it right the first time. Like how were you
- 10:37guys so good at Like when you look at the
- 10:42Chiechen Needs pyramids where you can't walk up them anymore unfortunately,
- 10:46but when you'll get linged, yeah, you get in big trouble.
- 10:49But but I was there back in the day you
- 10:50could climb up them. This is like I guess early
- 10:53two thousand and you were allowed to walk up that.
- 10:58But they'll fuck you up. Now there's just been videos
- 11:00of people doing things and then yeah.
- 11:02Speaker 3: The locals, they'll get lynched in the bottom. I think
- 11:04if you manage to climb that thing right now, there's
- 11:06a there's a watch guy all the way on the
- 11:08top and a bunch of dog always on. That's a
- 11:10weird thing about all pyramids. I don't know why dogs
- 11:12like hanging out up there. Oh really yeah, like the
- 11:15the one in and Uh and in the Sun Pyramid
- 11:19in Mexico, there's always dogs on top of it. And
- 11:20that's when there's also all with dogs on.
- 11:23Speaker 2: No peril dogs. Wild dogs just hang up out there.
- 11:27But I mean, when you see these things, like could
- 11:30give us some of the images of when you see, uh,
- 11:33some of these there's some dogs, when you see some
- 11:36of these pyramids like that, Like that's so different. I mean,
- 11:40that is so sophisticated, it's so bizarre. Yeah, we had
- 11:44a really good guide there when I went, and the
- 11:47guide was showing us this one area where they would
- 11:50take whatever psychedelic plants they had, like some ceremonial room
- 11:54where they would take psychedelic plants. And he was telling
- 11:58me that it's not totally understood what they were doing
- 12:01or why they were doing, but it is widely accepted
- 12:04that some of what they were into had to do
- 12:08with psychedelic rituals, and he thinks that had a lot
- 12:11to do with why they were able to make these
- 12:15kind of insanely complex structures.
- 12:18Speaker 3: And weird thing that I've also kind of like realized
- 12:20after just talking to people and going down there and
- 12:23kind of seeing some of the artifacts, a lot of
- 12:26the psychedelics that they actually took were self harm and mutilation,
- 12:32blood letting type activities. Really, Yeah, a lot of the
- 12:37Aztec priests you see the pictures of them pulling a
- 12:42chord with thorns through their private part, trying to trying
- 12:50to trying to invoke.
- 12:52Speaker 2: In them these I don't know visions, So just being
- 12:57in such extreme pain and such a bizarre state of
- 13:01mind that you transcend.
- 13:02Speaker 3: Yeah, which is which which matched up perfectly with some
- 13:06of the Catholic world views when they when they arrived.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Uh.
- 13:11Speaker 3: When when you when you look at a lot of
- 13:13the culture, specifically in Mexico, you see that they met.
- 13:17They met kind of like a perfect culture, like they matched.
- 13:20Speaker 2: In a lot of ways when the Catholics arrived.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Yeah, the Mexicans were venerating a Mother Goddess at at
- 13:29a grotto area in Mexico. That's where the the basilica is. Yeah,
- 13:36some of these rituals, Yeah, what's going on?
- 13:42Speaker 2: Yeah, but their spine boss some spine Yeah. Yeah, and
- 13:47there's a oh that's wrapped around his dick that looks like.
- 13:51Speaker 3: A lot of people want to go a lot of
- 13:53people want to go take ayahuasca down there. But I
- 13:55don't see a lot of this probably coming back or
- 13:57maybe I don't know, but that that was that's a
- 13:59big part of what they also did, you know, a
- 14:01lot of blood letting pain.
- 14:05Speaker 2: A lot of human sacrifice too.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Yes, they which a lot of people in Mexico are now, Oh,
- 14:10it's a big exaggeration. It's like a propaganda denial. And
- 14:14then you go there and there's like stone skull piles
- 14:18commemorating whatever war and depictions of them, and Cody sees
- 14:23that they themselves made of just getting sacrifice people on
- 14:28top of the pyramids pulling out their hearts.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Well, that was that one statue that's on top of
- 14:33the pyramid, that's like a bench. They were explaining to
- 14:36me that that's why they would sacrifice people. I mean, it.
- 14:41Speaker 3: Makes sense even the way that in the art it's depicted.
- 14:45You can't fake that. Most people would think you'd go
- 14:48through the rib cage to get at the heart. No,
- 14:50they go through the diaphragm right down here. So that's
- 14:53why there's a lot of depictions of some of these gods,
- 14:55like Mikantrikuti, which is the lord of the underworld in
- 14:59the Aztecs, sometimes is depicted in with a skeletal form
- 15:02with its hands spread out like this, and you'll see
- 15:05a split diaphragm at the bottom coming out underneath its
- 15:09ribcage as a signifier that you know, that's.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Well, they go up to grab the heart. That's where
- 15:13they go out the heart show. Show that sculpture. That sculpture,
- 15:18that flat bench sculpture that is like a man. It
- 15:21looks like he's sitting on his hands and knees but
- 15:24with his you know, torso faced upward. That one. Yeah, yeah,
- 15:29that was the one they were explaining to me.
- 15:31Speaker 3: And again I imagine that a lot of these things,
- 15:33I mean, you have to interpret because there's there are
- 15:35things out there that I don't understand. But I know
- 15:40blood was very essential, and it was an essential thing
- 15:43for these cultures. It's one of the most powerful offerings
- 15:45you can make. And a lot of the Catholic side
- 15:49of things that came into the country, that came into
- 15:51this area just intermingled perfectly.
- 15:54Speaker 2: You know. They also they were also talking about a
- 15:56god that that with those skulls in the corner right
- 15:59next to your search.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Yeah, in the middle there, yeah, where where the capital
- 16:05of Mexico is right now, there's a big cathedral behind it,
- 16:08there's a there's the Tempo mayor, the major temple of
- 16:11the Aztec Empire, and there's a lot of those types
- 16:15of symbologies around the just skulls, because that's where they
- 16:17would have the sampantly I think it's called sorry if
- 16:20I butchered the word. They would have these racks of
- 16:23skulls on top of the pyramids, on top of their
- 16:25central pyramid, kind of displaying all of the people that
- 16:28had gone, you know, off it.
- 16:31Speaker 2: And what was the story? Was it the completion of
- 16:33Tinochit Lawn or one of the Aztec pyramids where they
- 16:38sacrificed eighty thousand slaves. Yeah, over like whoever they had.
- 16:43Speaker 3: I've heard I've heard like numbers of fifty thousand. I
- 16:45have no idea how you would kind of figure out
- 16:47those numbers, right, But you do get accounts of some
- 16:51of the Spanish conquistathors describing the smell that some of
- 16:56these pyramids had, which if you were into a kill house,
- 17:00like a like a slaughterhouse, Yeah, this this this, Yeah,
- 17:04it's like it's an uncanny. And there's something about human
- 17:07tallow that I've also smelled and blood that is very distinct.
- 17:13I mean, yeah, we're monkeys and we probably have some
- 17:17genetic memory of what that smell is, and it makes
- 17:19us want to run I guess, and they described the
- 17:22smell and on some of these parramids when they when
- 17:24they when they finally got into the city.
- 17:28Speaker 2: The city.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, the Acic Empire, like these Spanish
- 17:32peasants coming off that boat were like awestruck of when
- 17:37they saw this city, like it had water coming into it.
- 17:42It's super consister complex. Uh just this this uh structure
- 17:48and culture that was uncontested there when they when they
- 17:52got there, they were looking.
- 17:53Speaker 2: And completely different than anything European. Yeah, so they came
- 17:57over here and they're like, what was going on in
- 18:01this part of the world. Yeah, what what are you
- 18:04guys doing? Yeah? How do you have so much gold?
- 18:06Speaker 3: Well, there was some gold, not I mean you hear
- 18:09these stories about the city of Gold and stuff like that.
- 18:12There was gold there, but they valued other things, you
- 18:16know that that wasn't their main central things. It was
- 18:18kind of puzzle about why they were so interested in
- 18:20some of the golden regalia they had. But when the
- 18:26when when the conquest kind of like finally kind of
- 18:29subsided and the parties that lost were all being divided up.
- 18:34Because that's what happened, the lords within this same culture
- 18:38became allies of the allies of the invading forces, and
- 18:41when they won, they were like, you're now the title
- 18:44owner or the leader of this area. And here's the
- 18:47royal decree.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Sacrificial stone. Yeah, that's that's in the that's in the
- 18:52sixty thousand human sacrill be got.
- 18:55Speaker 3: They can see where the blood was channeled to drip
- 18:59down from that. I think, I think, I think this
- 19:01is I'm not sure if this is the one, but
- 19:04there was one stone where they would tie somebody onto
- 19:06the stone and he would fight several people until he
- 19:10finally died. It's like a I don't know, it's like
- 19:13a sacrifice about like a fighting sacrifice. It was a
- 19:16different type of sacrifice they did.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Human intelligence applied to cruelty is very bizarre. It's very
- 19:24bizarre when you see, yeah, torture, Yeah, torture, just that
- 19:28kind of stuff, just to what people would do for
- 19:32just pure entertainment or ritual or to to I mean,
- 19:36because everyone's afraid to die, So you just show death
- 19:39in the worst form, in the most cruel and uncaring
- 19:44sacrificial form in front of everybody, children, cutting people's hearts
- 19:48out while they're still alive. It just keeps everybody on
- 19:51a spectacle. Yeah, this is part of the show where
- 19:53I talk about AG one, which I've done for years,
- 19:56and usually I like to talk about routine. And don't
- 19:59get me wrong, because routine is super important and AG
- 20:02one is exactly the kind of daily, easy routine that
- 20:05can help you feel healthy and help you get the
- 20:07nutrients that your body needs. But even if you love
- 20:10a routine, isn't it nice to switch it up a little? Well,
- 20:13here we go. After fifteen years of the original AG
- 20:16one has introduced three new flavors, tropical, berry and citrus.
- 20:20It's still daily, it's still a routine, but it's no
- 20:23longer one flavor fits all, And honestly, the best part
- 20:26is that's the only thing that's changed. Besides new flavors,
- 20:29we're talking about the same science, the same seventy five
- 20:32plus ingredients, and the same exact benefits. I partnered with
- 20:35AG one for so long because they're committed to constantly improving,

- 21:12It's a spectacle, and I'm sure it keeps. Yeah, they're
- 21:15they're sacrificing people and then throwing their bodies off the side.
- 21:19Speaker 3: People keep denying that that actually happened, but it's we
- 21:23I think it's the same phenomenon again in the US,
- 21:26where all of Native Americans were like peaceful and it
- 21:29was like utopia before they came in.
- 21:31Speaker 2: And yeah, but well that's one that really bothers people
- 21:36when they want this binary sort of analysis of North America.
- 21:40You know, the white people were bad and evil, which
- 21:43for sure they were, and they came over here and
- 21:45there's this good people that were just living off the
- 21:47lend in harmony, like not really in fact, they were
- 21:51killing each other. Yeah, not only that, that was their
- 21:53favorite thing to do where we are right now, the Comanches.
- 21:56All those motherfuckers did was eat meat. They didn't have
- 21:59any artwork. They didn't have anything other than bows and arrows.
- 22:03That's all they made. They made teepees, they made bows
- 22:07and arrows, and they fucked everybody up. And their favorite
- 22:10thing was to go to nearby tribes and kill everybody. Yeah,
- 22:14that was their fun time. They loved to And they
- 22:16would torture people in the most horrific ways in empire
- 22:21the Summer Moon, which is an amazing book on the
- 22:23commancheet from right in this spot. And they would take
- 22:27people that they captured. They would cut their arms and
- 22:30legs off while they were alive, so they would hold
- 22:33them down, immediately hack their arms and legs off, and
- 22:35then throw them on a bonfire to watch them wiggle,
- 22:40fucking yo, like you gotta be that's dark. Yeah, that's
- 22:47that's bloodlust. I don't know what that is.
- 22:49Speaker 3: I mean if you let's say, let's say they did
- 22:51that in front of the enemy, the enemy that they
- 22:53just conquered.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Yeah, well they would they would keep one guy alive
- 22:56to watch them and let him go. Ye go tell
- 22:58everybody psychological operations, so everybody else gets butchered. One guy
- 23:03that let go, You go tell everybody, no, we're out here.
- 23:07No no.
- 23:08Speaker 3: And also like if you think about it, some of
- 23:12the horrors that are still happening down south. Yeah, we
- 23:15sent me this message last night, of these six or seven, I'll.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Send it to Jamie because it's pretty crazy how often
- 23:26this stuff happens down in Mexico and how little of
- 23:29it we ever hear about it. We don't really hear
- 23:32too much about these insane mass murders that take place
- 23:37down there.
- 23:37Speaker 3: There was a there was a beheading and uh down
- 23:42down in Mexico, and it was it's a it's a
- 23:46safe or not a historically safe part of Mexico that
- 23:49where this type of stuff doesn't happen that much. But
- 23:53things are changing rapidly down there. It's evolving quickly. The
- 24:01and and the the the culture that we have down there.
- 24:07I don't know, Like I do believe that there's some
- 24:10sort of genetic memory.
- 24:12Speaker 2: I bet there is. That makes sense. I think there's
- 24:14a genetic memory. Six severed head founds on the side
- 24:18of the road, the chilling message in one of Mexico's
- 24:19safest regions. And what part of Mexico.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Is this because uh, Buebla region, if I'm not mistaken, Yeah, well, well,
- 24:32I mean it's a beautiful place.
- 24:33Speaker 2: If you go to Buebla, visit Puebla, it's beautiful. But
- 24:37this is don't the wrong time. I just don't work
- 24:39for the cartels. I guess the the act.
- 24:43Speaker 3: So this is an interesting thing that I heard long
- 24:46ago from somebody. One of the first jobs I did
- 24:51was cut somebody off a bridge, and one of the
- 24:56older guys that was with me, I was like, corr.
- 25:00But by this kid, you know, sixteen seventeen year old
- 25:04kid told me, oh, they're being kind that. I'm like,
- 25:09what's kind about leaving somebody hanging from a fucking bridge naked?
- 25:14His family's going to get something to bury at least.
- 25:18So it dawned on me that that was an act
- 25:21of kindness. So having somebody beheaded is even so it's
- 25:26even crueler, yeah, because now nobody they have nobody to bury. Yeah,
- 25:30and there's a lot of coffins with just ahead or
- 25:33not even that in Mexico, buried in the ground.
- 25:35Speaker 2: But just think of how insane it has to be
- 25:37to where hanging someone from bridge is an act of
- 25:40kindness because at least you could find the body.
- 25:42Speaker 3: It is the evolution of what is considered normal in Mexico.
- 25:48People will get shot by the dozens, people will get
- 25:53displayed in this horrific and people will just go back
- 25:56to work. That's every day, and that's the scary part
- 26:01of it. I think for most of the people that
- 26:03live down there, is how normalized it has become. There's
- 26:06not that's not an abnormal thing to hear some of
- 26:09these things.
- 26:09Speaker 2: And this is not in terms of America our understanding
- 26:14of Mexico and cartel culture. This is not something that
- 26:19was ever talked about when I was in high school.
- 26:21Who was never talked about when I was a young man.
- 26:23It never came up. It wasn't a thing in the news.
- 26:26Cartel violence was not I think.
- 26:29Speaker 3: I think the first time people would start getting like
- 26:31an inkling of this was in the nineties when the
- 26:34phenomenon of this guy, adult fo Constanzo happened. This was
- 26:37on the this was on the border between Texas and
- 26:40Juadez area. He was They called him that Natanico, the
- 26:45Satanist narc the boy. He was a high level practitioner
- 26:51of something called Palo and Santaria and he would do
- 26:55rituals for people like in cartel's and he started his
- 26:58own cartel because he was pretty successful a social engineering
- 27:02and folk.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Magic basically is what he was doing.
- 27:04Speaker 3: And at some point he started believing in his power
- 27:09and he instructed some of the members of his gang
- 27:11to abduct an American because he needed a brain for
- 27:14his cauldron where he would do some.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Of these rituals.
- 27:19Speaker 3: And I think that's the first time Americans got a
- 27:21little like a small glimpse of the underground brutality, monster,
- 27:29religious occultism, and just torture and murder that has been
- 27:35going on down there for many years. But it has
- 27:40gotten really bad in the past twenty thirty years.
- 27:43Speaker 2: So this has always been going on in a lot
- 27:46of ways.
- 27:47Speaker 3: Yes, brutality in Mexico has been going on for a while.
- 27:50Speaker 2: But cartel brutality, Like when did the cartels really start
- 27:53gaining power?
- 27:54Speaker 3: I think the seventies, seventies and eighties is when they
- 27:57we start seeing the formation of the first large organizations
- 28:00and federations. They're working to produce and or to traffic
- 28:04substances through Mexico up into the United States.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Was it originally cocaine marijuana?
- 28:11Speaker 3: I think originally heroin actually was at the start or
- 28:14the initiation of a lot of this stuff. I think
- 28:16where were they getting the heroin they were they were planting.
- 28:20They were planting poppy in the sierra for the war effort,
- 28:25apparently for the Americans, because they were they were running
- 28:28out of shortage of morphine, so they needed place to
- 28:30planet and that's one of the places where they kind
- 28:34of started like, oh, they can grow this yere and
- 28:36people still getting idea this was the Vietnam War, yeah around, Yeah,
- 28:40this is what that's Vietnam World War two era. That
- 28:46that's when you started seeing the initiation of like people
- 28:49planting certain things sixties fifteen fifty Yeah.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Wow, Well it's like Vietnam itself is connected to heroin, Yeah,
- 28:57because that that's the Dirty Sea secret about why we
- 29:01were interested in that whole area of Vietnam and there
- 29:06was a trafficking area yeah, and the Golden Trine. Yeah.
- 29:09And coincidentally a lot of people got insanely rich somehow
- 29:13or another connected to that. But we had to be
- 29:16over there to stop communism or something.
- 29:19Speaker 3: And it's an interesting point you bring up of Vietnam
- 29:22because it has something to do or elements of it
- 29:25remind you of Mexico. It is Mexico has been a
- 29:30place that has been ruled over by a single party
- 29:32for eighty years, if that the pri and then it
- 29:39went through its democratic period and now we have other
- 29:42parties coming into play. And now you have a ruling
- 29:45party all over Mexico called Morena. Who is you know,
- 29:49this is the party of the Vasos noblasos. That's how
- 29:52they started, you know, hugs not bullets against the cartel's
- 29:55policy which allowed them to grow and also super effective.
- 29:58Speaker 2: Hugs not bullets. Uh.
- 30:01Speaker 3: But this is coming off a Mexico as liberals too,
- 30:04I guess.
- 30:05Speaker 2: Yes, we do.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Mexico's three Mexico three things. Southern Mexico, that's that's rural Mexico,
- 30:11Central Mexico. That's where all the all the woke comes from,
- 30:15the capital of Mexico. That's where that's where all the
- 30:18general pronouns get issued into law. That's where violence against
- 30:22women specifically and feminicide is now a new think catalog.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Under the law.
- 30:28Speaker 3: You can kill a dude, you're smiled, but if you
- 30:30kill a woman, that's feminis side, which.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Is way worse.
- 30:33Speaker 3: So it's that's where a lot of that, a lot
- 30:36of that policy comes from. And then northern Mexico where
- 30:38I'm from. That's where I guess conservative. That's where all
- 30:44the factories are. That's where all the people, the hard work,
- 30:48hardworking people and uh, people that kind of like go
- 30:51the other side of the politics that are woke. That
- 30:53used to be the case, but now Modena is all
- 30:56ruling all over the country and a lot of the
- 30:59po they're bringing with them or you know, to the left.
- 31:04Mexico was very tired from the drug war that it
- 31:06had been going on for twenty years that I.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Was a part of for twelve of those years.
- 31:13Speaker 3: They saw Philippick called their own bring the military into
- 31:16this fight to fight the cartels and just.
- 31:19Speaker 2: Kicking a giant bee hive.
- 31:20Speaker 3: He had really thic He really didn't have a clue
- 31:23what he was about to kind of kick off. He
- 31:27had the idea that if you just put the military out,
- 31:29you know, which are not corrupted, Well he thought they
- 31:33were not corrupted, and you militarized a lot of the
- 31:36policing going on around it, you can eliminate all these
- 31:39cartel members like, oh, just this guy's gone, this guy's gone,
- 31:42and we're going to just now secure this area in control.
- 31:45But it's been just basically gremlins. You know, one gremlin
- 31:50will turn into four or five. You cut one head
- 31:52off and it's a hydra. Just a bunch of heads
- 31:55come out.
- 31:55Speaker 2: Now.
- 31:56Speaker 3: So Mexico has been going through that for a while,
- 31:58and then this president comes and lopes ovverdor with this planet, like,
- 32:03we'll just leave them alone and they'll they'll they'll stop.
- 32:08Violence will stop because we'll stop fighting them.
- 32:12Speaker 2: How that work?
- 32:14Speaker 3: He has one of the most violent presidencies in history.
- 32:19His main he criticizes Kyle Lenron, who started this drug war,
- 32:23over his handling of it. Out he out matches him
- 32:27from death during his administration. What we saw in his
- 32:31administration was the political politicalization. And they were already in politics,
- 32:36but they now they're really overt about it.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Now.
- 32:38Speaker 3: Cartels are like they have their own candidates running for office.
- 32:43The mayor of a city and the police chief of
- 32:45the city. They're all cartel members, and the police force
- 32:47they're all called cartel members in parts of Mexico. Boy,
- 32:50all of the political killings that happen in Mexico don't
- 32:52happen because there's a bunch of John F. Kennedy's out
- 32:55there that are trying to change things right. It's because
- 32:58that cartel is sponsoring that kind of and this cartels
- 33:01found on that candidate. So I don't want your candidate
- 33:03to win, so I'm gonna go shoot them.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Well, there was some insane amount of murders during the
- 33:08last election, wasn't it like thirty plus murders. See if
- 33:12you can find out how many murders there was, that
- 33:14sounds about so it sounds about right. It is.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Again, these criminal organizations have politicized. They figured out that,
- 33:23you know, how can we operate in this region without
- 33:26having too much issues? Right, Let's put let's make the
- 33:30mayor our guy. Right, let's elect the governor.
- 33:34Speaker 2: So we like to think that we're innocent over here.
- 33:36But how much different is it with what we do
- 33:39with pharmaceutical drug companies sponsoring people because they pay for
- 33:43people's campaigns, and those people get in with a specific
- 33:46understanding of what kind of laws you need to push through,
- 33:50what kind of mandates you need to make in terms
- 33:52of the you know, mandating the use of certain medications.
- 33:56It's a different type of corruption.
- 33:58Speaker 3: It's different though, a corruption, but it's still drugs, still drugs.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Yeah. Up to sixty sixty politicians in the twenty twenty
- 34:07four general and local elections, sixty politicians were assassinated during
- 34:11pre campaign and campaign periods. Fucking yo. Imagine if that
- 34:15was going on in America. Margely Tarryler, Green's get whacked,
- 34:19AOC's get whacked like that would be fucking crazy. This

- 35:20Speaker 3: And it is a clear sign that whatever division people
- 35:24had in their heads about the cartels or of this
- 35:26organization here and they don't. They're not openly at least
- 35:30involved in any of this political stuff. And no, all
- 35:34that shit's gone. Something happened. Something happened last year the
- 35:39arrest of one of the biggest cartel heads in history
- 35:43from Mexico, El Mayo Sambaba. He was arrested in Texas.
- 35:49He flew into a private air They flew him into
- 35:50a private air field under pretty interesting circumstances and then
- 35:55handed he handed himself.
- 35:57Speaker 2: Over to the authorities. He was arrested there. I mean.
- 36:02Speaker 3: That kicked off a lot of violence in Mexico.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Why was he willing to fly in? So there's different
- 36:09stories around it. He's told his own story.
- 36:11Speaker 3: He's actually talked about this many times openly with his
- 36:14drivers and stuff.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Like that here driving around. So he just speaks about it.
- 36:16Speaker 3: He's he's older now, he was a ghost. This is
- 36:20Elmayo Sambaba was the legitimate leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.
- 36:26The US would say that it was Chapel Guzman, not really.
- 36:31Sinal cartel was a federation and a lot of the bigger,
- 36:35older parts of that cartel were kind of headed up
- 36:38by this figure, Elmaio Sambada, who in fifty years was
- 36:41never arrested, never grabbed, never caught. You would hear about
- 36:45them about him vaguely in certain circles, but everybody knew
- 36:50that guy is the head of the Sinala cartel, or
- 36:52he's the bigger guy in that organization, which is a
- 36:55federation of groups. Last time I was here, it was
- 37:00after the Kulia Kanaso, the incident where they rescued a
- 37:04video one of Il Chappo's sons two years ago.
- 37:08Speaker 2: They finally got up to him.
- 37:10Speaker 3: Right the army did this operation, same thing happened. All
- 37:13the cartels burned the city, the block rows and stuff
- 37:16like that. A lot of the Special Operation soldiers died
- 37:19in his arrest, a few of them, and he was
- 37:22finally arrested and extra died to the United States. Conversations
- 37:27probably happened within the United States with a video when
- 37:31he was finally in US custody and El Chappa Guzman
- 37:35is in a hole and he's not going to get
- 37:36it out of the hole. His sons probably figured out
- 37:40that if they don't want to get into a hole too,
- 37:42they probably need to cut a deal, and I think
- 37:45and the theory is that that deal probably included handing
- 37:49over the head of the Senor Low Cartel Mayo Sambala.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Saught by US law enforcement for more than two decades.
- 37:57He was taken into custody after arriving in a private
- 37:59plane at Texas This airport with Guzman's son, Joaquin Guzman Lopez.
- 38:03Guzman Lopez is pleaded not guilty to federals not guilty
- 38:07to federal drug trafficking charges in Chicago. His brother a
- 38:11video Guzman Lopez pleaded guilty last month. Zimbada said that
- 38:15he was kidnapped in Mexico and hauled to the US
- 38:17by Guzman Lopez, whose lawyer denies those claims.
- 38:21Speaker 3: So this is the the shady stuff that happened. Elmayo
- 38:26gets gets brought into a meeting in Sineloa by by
- 38:32by Joaquin, who is He's not one of the he's
- 38:36not really into the drug he's not one of the
- 38:39powerful brothers of the Chappo Guzman brothers that are in
- 38:42the drug trade. He's kind of like wanding out basically.
- 38:45So at some point he cuts a deal and in
- 38:47this deal he said I'm gonna get this guy on
- 38:50a plane and I'm gonna fly him over, you know,
- 38:52and we're gonna make a deal.
- 38:54Speaker 2: That's the story.
- 38:56Speaker 3: Uh, he has him. He has Elmaya come into a
- 38:59meeting between the governor of Sinaloa, which is known publicly.
- 39:02Speaker 2: People know this.
- 39:03Speaker 3: The governor of Senlaw was going to be in the
- 39:05meeting with Olmayos and Edum Sinelal Cartel, who is a
- 39:08member of Moriana, the current ruling party all over the country.
- 39:11Also no investigation. Also he's still in power, which is
- 39:13jad as fucked between him and a man named Gwen
- 39:17who was I think he was the director of the
- 39:20university there. They had some sort of political dispute and
- 39:22Elmaia was being brought into I don't know, negotiate or
- 39:28influence that, which tells you a lot about how the
- 39:33cartels and politics and the universities are tied. Right at
- 39:38that meeting, Namessia Quin who is Quen, who is the
- 39:44friend of Elmayo, the guy who's the director of the
- 39:46university gets killed. They shoot him. There's a video published
- 39:52of a gas station shootout where supposedly this man who
- 39:56is the director of the university gets killed, but it's
- 40:00fucking made up by the state prosecutor. You know, they're trying,
- 40:02they're trying to make this shit go away. Meanwhile all
- 40:06this stuff starts unraveling. Oh, the abducted El Maayo at
- 40:09that meeting, and that's way they kill this guy. We
- 40:13don't know or there at least I don't know if
- 40:15there's any specific confirmation that the governor of Singing Law
- 40:18was there, but he said he went to the US.
- 40:22He was in the US. He wasn't there, but there's
- 40:24no travelogs of him being in the US. It's a
- 40:28it's a shit show. They somehow overtake his bodyguards, El
- 40:35Mayo's bodyguards. They're gone. Nobody knows where they went, probably
- 40:38dead somewhere, got El Mayo on a plane and flew
- 40:43him into Texas. Homeland Security was apparently involved. FBI says
- 40:48that they may have been involved. But I was taught
- 40:52when last time I was here, I was talking about
- 40:54at some point we're going.
- 40:55Speaker 2: To see either a direct US.
- 40:59Speaker 3: Intervene or military action in Mexico that's going to kick
- 41:02off things, and I think that was it. After that happened,
- 41:08El Chapel Guzman's sons cut deals seventeen members of the
- 41:12Guzman family were secretly flown to Tijuana and crossed the
- 41:17border with suitcases and were put into FBI vans and suitcases. Yeah,
- 41:26they're moved. They rescued their family members, and they took
- 41:29him out of the country. So they're in the US somewhere.
- 41:32Speaker 2: Under some kind of protective customers. Yeah, of course.
- 41:37Speaker 3: And if you want to talk about people that know everything,
- 41:42like all the ins and outs El Mayo's and Bolas
- 41:45want he's the guy.
- 41:47Speaker 2: He knows. Where is he being detained.
- 41:49Speaker 3: I think he's in New York and I think he
- 41:51just declared himself guilty and he's probably going to cut
- 41:53a deal. He's older, he's a diabetic, he's he's he's
- 42:00not going to spend life in prison. Ochapo Guzman went the.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Which is wild when you think about how long he
- 42:06was running ship and how many people.
- 42:08Speaker 3: Died and how many drugs got He learned his trade
- 42:11craft from uh. He learned his trade craft in La Uh.
- 42:15Speaker 2: Here it is. It's August twenty fifth, so it's soon.
- 42:17A Brooklyn federal judge on Monday scheduled August twenty fifth
- 42:20change of plea hearing for Zambada, longtime leader of Mexico
- 42:24Sin and loa cartel. Development comes two weeks after federal
- 42:26prosecutors said they wouldn't seek the death penalty against him.
- 42:30There's a deal there and and I don't they're gonna
- 42:33put him in the same prison as Glenn Maxwell. I
- 42:36don't see him jogging, but yeah, probably doing yoga, y
- 42:40portal this this, there's a deal coming and I.
- 42:47Speaker 3: There's a there's this sense in the US that, you know,
- 42:51Trump came into power and declared these organizations terrorists organizations,
- 42:57and there was an ex there was an expectation that
- 42:59that meant gloves off and going to see military action
- 43:03pretty soon. But what we've seen has been a very
- 43:07calculated surgical operation. It looks like I don't know, I mean,
- 43:12you see, they took out the head of the Sinaloa cartel,
- 43:15and Sinaloa has been on fire ever since. It is
- 43:20open warfare between the last remaining sons of Otapo Guzman
- 43:24and the sons of Amayo, who are now I've seen video.
- 43:27Speaker 2: It's bananas. It is a war zone on the streets.
- 43:31See if you can find some of that Sinaloa video, Jamie,
- 43:34because it is shocking. When when when when that? When?
- 43:39When this?
- 43:40Speaker 3: When this war kicked off between these two factions in Sinaloa,
- 43:45schools closed, you know, people didn't want to go out
- 43:48because the cars were going to get jacked, to get
- 43:49burned and put in.
- 43:50Speaker 2: The middle of the street. Companies closed all of the.
- 43:54Speaker 3: Luxury environment around these criminal organizations that they built up.
- 43:59I mean, these were criminal organizations that had Louis Vuitton
- 44:02stores and click on, you know, and and an exotic car,
- 44:07exotic cars being sold and in store and in these dealerships,
- 44:12and all of the bands that would play live music
- 44:15at their places, and all these sea exotic seafood plays.
- 44:18Speaker 2: It's all these places just.
- 44:22Speaker 3: And how how are they going to sustain themselves? Now
- 44:24this economy started crashing and it's it's uh. The Mexican
- 44:28government comes out, the president, the Besidenta, the current president, Shamebaum,
- 44:34comes out and she blames this state being on fire.
- 44:42The US, like the US came in here and abducted
- 44:46Elmayo Sambada, a Mexican national, and they charged Juaquin Guzman,
- 44:51who was involved in the operation to pick up Elmayo.
- 44:54They charged him with high treason in Mexico for abducting
- 44:59Elias and putt him in the US, which is high trees.
- 45:02He's charged with high trees. And so if they're abducting
- 45:04a drug lord, yes, whoa which.
- 45:07Speaker 2: Is like I don't know, like I'm doing the math
- 45:09on all that.
- 45:10Speaker 3: Wow, but you have this, you have the situation now
- 45:13where she's blaming the US for basically cause those stability.
- 45:16Speaker 2: Give me some volume on this. Oh, this is.
- 45:21Speaker 3: This is this is the members of Almayo's family shooting
- 45:26up all the luxury houses of those Chapitos.
- 45:32Speaker 2: Geese. I hope these guys are using ear protection. No,
- 45:37they're not. We'll talk about that in a bit. Yeah,
- 45:40you can probably sneak up on all those fuckers. They're
- 45:43probably all deaf.
- 45:44Speaker 3: But they're basically shooting up all the luxury apartments that
- 45:47they know are owned by the Chappos in that area.
- 45:57They love one hundred round drum magazines in Mexico for
- 46:01some reason.
- 46:01Speaker 2: That's a fifty cow with no hearing protection. Why you
- 46:05don't need it? How many of those guys are deaf?
- 46:10Speaker 3: Oh, and a lot of them have a severe hearing
- 46:12locks and a lot I recently went to Halisco with
- 46:17a friend of mine, who's a He has a YouTube
- 46:19channel called The Connect Johnny Mitchell. He talks to drug
- 46:23dealers and like people in the in that life. There's
- 46:26a friend of mine in Mexico and who's he's basically
- 46:29the Mexican Sean Ryan GOFE four to two three is
- 46:34his handle, and he interviews like cartel members and people
- 46:39from that life.
- 46:41Speaker 2: And do they wear masks? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 46:44Speaker 3: We talked to a kid that was six months out
- 46:48of working with the what is currently I think priority
- 46:52number one should be priority number one for the US.
- 46:55The new generation cartel, this militarized cartel, a lot of
- 46:58Hallisco that has been with this war going on between
- 47:01the SNL all factions. I mean it's Christmas for them.
- 47:06So when when when we went down there, he introduceds
- 47:10to his kid who is freshly off.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Basically he was.
- 47:15Speaker 3: Involved in tank warfare on the borders between Jalisco and
- 47:21Secatecas against those Mayos who you see they're firing at
- 47:24this houses tanks. They they're making their own tanks. If
- 47:30you get your truck stolen up here and probably get
- 47:32shriven to Mexico, they're going to make a tank out
- 47:33of it.
- 47:34Speaker 2: Probably.
- 47:34Speaker 3: Uh, they're making these uh, these artisanally made tanks basically
- 47:40mostly what they are are Yeah, that's a pretty old one.
- 47:44I think that's from the Zeta period. That's cool though
- 47:47it looks like a fucking mad Max vehicle. But what
- 47:50they do is they make these these tanks. And his
- 47:53job was to be in the back of one of
- 47:55these with a fifty cow rifle. So what they do
- 48:01is you'll get you'll get into a dirt road and
- 48:06they'll put their trucks like this with their backs turned.
- 48:10And I was like, why don't you just ram them
- 48:11with the front the engine will go out. You have
- 48:13to ram them with the back of the truck. So
- 48:16they'll just go into like this destruction, will be in
- 48:18the hills and shoot at each other until there's a
- 48:21clear winner. It's what they did. They do basically, and
- 48:26their main weapons are fifty caliber rifles. So they'll be
- 48:30in the back of the truck and they're like now, now, now,
- 48:33and they'll just somebody's on the radio inside the cabin
- 48:35trying to call out what's going on, and they'll pop
- 48:38out and start.
- 48:41Speaker 2: How come no one's figured out your protection.
- 48:44Speaker 3: They put bullets in their ears I've seen that they
- 48:47put like plastic things in their ears, but realistically they
- 48:52don't get shit, and they're expendable. That's why they don't
- 48:54get That's why there's no where you get like a
- 48:56pair of Walkers game ears on Amazon. It's not that expensive.
- 49:00Speaker 2: No, none of that is down there. Uh.
- 49:03Speaker 3: This kid walked us through how he was all the
- 49:06way from his recruitment, through his training, through this tank
- 49:10warfare thing that they sent him on, uh, and now
- 49:13and to his life where he was like why I
- 49:16laughed about your question about hearing protection is I was
- 49:19the first person that showed him what tnightas was and
- 49:22what hearing loss was, because he kept like what did
- 49:24you say?
- 49:25Speaker 2: It's like, hey, dude, do you have hearing loss? Like no,
- 49:29Like I just like, dude, you have severe hearing laws
- 49:33from what you went through, this is yeah. Probably this
- 49:38is the tanks going after each other.
- 49:39Speaker 3: Yeah, that's this is You'll see this in different h
- 49:43I mean they're fighting over drug routes basically, and and
- 49:45and territory and christ.
- 49:48Speaker 2: They're so close to each other, it's it's it's steek
- 49:51aliber at like it's a ten foot distance. And the.
- 49:58Speaker 3: The drones are now in all in this as well,
- 50:02because why not?
- 50:03Speaker 2: Of course?
- 50:04Speaker 3: So, and the way he was a recruited is pretty interesting.
- 50:10He was an uber driver. This kid again, you will
- 50:14look at it, this kid if you found him somewhere.
- 50:16Just normal kid. He's twenty twenty three right now, I think,
- 50:20but looks like a kid. Uber driver crashes into somebody accident,
- 50:28doesn't have enough money to pay the extra for the insurance.
- 50:31Speaker 2: So he's like, God, what am I going to do?
- 50:33You know, married, newly married? What am I going to do?
- 50:39Speaker 3: Goes on TikTok and he's an advertisement on TikTok for like, hey,
- 50:45you need money, this is how much we pay you
- 50:47if you come work with us. The cartel advertisement.
- 50:51Speaker 2: The cartel uses TikTok.
- 50:52Speaker 3: Yeah crude, yes, Facebook TikTok of course, but totally makes sense.
- 50:58But specifically TikTok is one of their biggest recruiting methods.
- 51:03Speaker 2: And it's in the open.
- 51:03Speaker 3: It's not like like you have to access this private
- 51:06page and go and do this. No, it's like, hey,
- 51:08you want to come work for the four letters is
- 51:10the way they call themselves. Yeah, just call this number, right,
- 51:14So he called this number and he was like told
- 51:17to meet somebody at a bus station. He goes, meets
- 51:23these people at the bus station. They put them in
- 51:25a car, They check them like give me your phones,
- 51:28give me like, we don't want to be tracked, and
- 51:31then they drive them to a place where he.
- 51:33Speaker 2: Was they were going to be trained. I guess is
- 51:35what he said.
- 51:36Speaker 3: And then cops stop them in the road, beat the
- 51:40ship out of all of them.
- 51:41Speaker 2: There, torture a few of them. What are you doing?
- 51:43Where are you going? They don't don't tell them anything.
- 51:46Don't tell them anything.
- 51:49Speaker 3: And after they got the beating of their life, they ah, good,
- 51:51you passed the test and now you're gonna go.
- 51:54Speaker 2: Oh. So that was what it was for. But the
- 51:57uniform cops were all cartel members, Oh my god, and.
- 52:00Speaker 3: The police like all these are places where everybody's you know,
- 52:05on it, so it's just to see if you'll crack.
- 52:08He he gets driven to one of these ranches, these
- 52:13training camps, and it's not like you know, I remember
- 52:16seeing the al Qaeda training camps or the guys are
- 52:18on the monkey bars and stuff like that. These are
- 52:21military compounds that are that are in the sierras and
- 52:25in the mountains. There was a case recently where they
- 52:28thought they found these mass graves that turned out to
- 52:30be actually training camp. There were dead people there, but
- 52:32there was they found all these shoes that Mexican they
- 52:35were calling Mexican Auschwitz. But what they actually found is
- 52:40a processing space. Like you go there and they strip
- 52:43off all your clothes and your shoes and they leave
- 52:45them there because they give you new shoes because they
- 52:46don't want to be tracked. So it was one of
- 52:48those process in places. So you ended and then and
- 52:52you then end up in some of the training camps.
- 52:56Speaker 2: He describes.
- 52:58Speaker 3: Active duty military personnel training them in the hills, Mexican
- 53:03military personnel training them in the hills. Former special operators
- 53:07from Colombia, former special operators from Mexico.
- 53:12Speaker 2: Some from America as well.
- 53:13Speaker 3: Right, there's rumors and again I have not talked directly
- 53:17to anybody that knows of that has had eyes on them,
- 53:21but there are rumors of at least two American specialists
- 53:27of some sort.
- 53:28Speaker 2: Because I've heard delta forests and seals and.
- 53:30Speaker 3: I don't know, but there is a clear uh communication
- 53:36of methods and technology. I d's are a thing in
- 53:40Mexico now, like IDs are very reminiscent of things that
- 53:44you would see in Afghanistan in Iraq. And the only
- 53:47way that they come over here is not from an
- 53:48Afghanian and Iraqi coming over and showing us how to
- 53:51do IDs is probably a eodtach of some sort from
- 53:54the US that has some experiences know how to.
- 53:56Speaker 2: Make some of these.
- 53:57Speaker 3: That's one where That's one place where they were learning
- 53:59their craft. Another one is Columbia. Uh, Colombians. Colombian operators
- 54:05have been been showing up in weird parts of the
- 54:07world fighting. I mean they're they're in the Ukrainian War
- 54:09right now learning about drone technology. Some of the some
- 54:12of the operators from Mexico that went to fight in
- 54:14the Ukrainian Front are now back in Mexico showing the
- 54:17cartels how to what they learned about drone warfare in
- 54:19the Ukraine War.
- 54:20Speaker 2: WHOA.
- 54:22Speaker 3: So this kid describes as training camp where it's the army.
- 54:26People are marching around, people are in uniform, people are
- 54:29getting trained and you they'll get people bring brought into
- 54:33this training camp and like hey, let's see if you're worthy,
- 54:38and they'll give you a gun and like kill, just kill. Yeah,
- 54:45And this kid describes how that's that's the first duty.
- 54:47He killed, just an arn armed dude that he was
- 54:49dragged to that camp. So they just drag a dude
- 54:53just to see if you're capable of take one of them.
- 54:54I think he was one of the guys that tried
- 54:56to run because it's it's I mean, it's like it's
- 55:00I say, it's like the military. But they'll kill you
- 55:02there if you fucking fuck up, or they'll beat you,
- 55:05or they'll beat you, flog you.
- 55:08Speaker 2: It is a job. It is. It is like a
- 55:11structured job.
- 55:11Speaker 3: You get, you get you get money paid to you
- 55:15every every keen sanna every fifteen days, and a bonus
- 55:18at the end of the month. You get equipment, you know,
- 55:21you get selected for certain activities. He was selected for
- 55:24tank duty and they sent him on his fucking tact
- 55:26to fight in the hills. Some people get selected to
- 55:30manage some of their drug stores. Some people get managed
- 55:34to just be lookouts. But it's a giant network of
- 55:38people that they've managed to create for themselves in this region,
- 55:43this new generation cartel. It's one of the largest and
- 55:45fastest growing cartels in Mexico and it is now probably
- 55:50operating all over Mexico.
- 55:51Speaker 2: And recruiting people on TikTok.
- 55:54Speaker 3: Most of their recruiting is through TikTok, yes openly, and
- 55:59again it's not it's not you don't have to search
- 56:01for it.
- 56:02Speaker 2: It's there.
- 56:05Speaker 3: People smugglers advertise on TikTok constantly as well, Like they'll
- 56:08have videos of people here in Texas that went through
- 56:11the board recently and with a newspaper like, hey, I'm
- 56:14in Texas now look at the newspaper and like they were,
- 56:17but they were in Mexico like a few hours later,
- 56:19a few hours before with the newspaper, and like this
- 56:22is how olool is the best smuggler out there.
- 56:26Speaker 2: Hire him for like a like a safe crossing. This
- 56:28is on TikTok.
- 56:30Speaker 3: I mean it's in the open people. People, people don't
- 56:35realize how how big of a tool that's being utilized
- 56:38in Mexico is a recruiting tool, it's propaganda tool as well.
- 56:42That's what they'll talk ship to each other through that medium.
- 56:46Speaker 2: How did this kid get out? He ran?
- 56:49Speaker 3: I think he managed to prove himself a bit and
- 56:53he managed to get the favor of one of their
- 56:57leaders and he told them like, hey, I know you
- 57:00don't want to be here, leave your ship and run.
- 57:03I guess, don't don't come back. Don't look better.
- 57:05Speaker 2: Also, they let him run. They let him run, but
- 57:08not everybody gets that opportunity. So it was just somebody
- 57:11who liked him. Maybe he got he got he got.
- 57:15Speaker 3: He said, he worked well in that organization, he got
- 57:18favor and eventually he said, you know, I have a
- 57:20wife and a kid that I need to get back to.
- 57:22Speaker 2: Is that is there a way let him go? How
- 57:24long was he being held?
- 57:27Speaker 3: I think he said something about six or eight months,
- 57:31and he went through some ship. Most of what he
- 57:35went through was and the border between Halis Concateca is
- 57:39where the Mayos are trying to fight over that territory.
- 57:42It's basically one of the corridors up into the border
- 57:44region of Mexico through Mexico, so that's people are always
- 57:48fighting over these regions. He came back with PTSD hearing laws,
- 57:57and again all these things are unknown, and he's a
- 57:58Mexican kid without health insurance. How is he going to
- 58:01know any of these things?
- 58:02Speaker 1: Right?
- 58:02Speaker 3: When I talked to him for a bed, he was like,
- 58:05oh that makes sense, Like, yeah, do you drink a lot? Yeah,
- 58:08I know why I used to drink a shit ton.
- 58:11Speaker 2: You know.
- 58:13Speaker 3: Nightmares, Yeah, like rage moments. Yeah, like this sounds like
- 58:18you have PTSD, dude, Like sit down.
- 58:23Speaker 2: So but he's one in a thousand, thousands.
- 58:27Speaker 3: Of kids like that out there who are gone through
- 58:29some of these things, both on the military and police
- 58:32side and also the cartel side, highly traumatized individuals that
- 58:35just but there's no there's nothing for them down there.
- 58:39If they talk about what they did, they're in trouble.
- 58:42If they look for help, there's no help out there.
- 58:44So this kid is trying to reform his life with
- 58:47all this fucking damage in him. He lost his family
- 58:51that he fought so much to get back to, which
- 58:57is you know these it's just it's.
- 59:00Speaker 2: One small, one small.
- 59:02Speaker 3: Story and tragedy of But you go to Jalisco and
- 59:06they have a roundabout there in Jalisco, it's load this
- 59:09up at Sias where the missing are and it's covered
- 59:13in posters of missing people.
- 59:14Speaker 1: Uh.
- 59:15Speaker 2: In Walajara, it.
- 59:17Speaker 3: Is like one of those zombie movies where they have
- 59:19all these but like the where the all the missing
- 59:21people posters on them because zombie outbreak happened. It's like that,
- 59:25except it's people one hundred or one hundred thousand according
- 59:30to official numbers in Mexico. As far as missing, it's gone.
- 59:36Speaker 2: Ah.
- 59:38Speaker 3: And that's another aspect of this, this this war that
- 59:42people don't kind of like realize the numbers are skewed,
- 59:46you know, because there's no there's no confirmed dead person
- 59:51for a number of the amount of people murdered.
- 59:52Speaker 2: If there's no body, and Mexico.
- 59:55Speaker 3: Has become very good at getting rid of bodies, the
- 59:58cultures in Mexico. I was in Kuahila working with a
- 1:00:03with a with a tactical group out there. They they
- 1:00:07they they showed me. I mean, I'm always learning from people.
- 1:00:12Different regions have different ways of getting rid of bodies.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: Some just burn them, just throw flee fuel on them
- 1:00:18to see if they can burn. In this part of
- 1:00:20the country, Cohila, which is on the east side of
- 1:00:22the country, they will heat up fuel drums with diesel
- 1:00:27inside of them, and diesels diesel can get really hot
- 1:00:31without igniting. And that's where they put the bodies inside,
- 1:00:34basically boil them down to their essential essence and there's
- 1:00:39nothing to find, is what they tell me. With that process,
- 1:00:44you go to my hometown of Tijuana, that's where.
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: We have billing cauldrons of diesel to dispose bodies.
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: And then you go to Tijuana where I'm from, and
- 1:00:54then you have the phenomena of a phenomena of a
- 1:00:57possolero who would get rid of people with caustic soda,
- 1:01:01just the mixture of chemicals that you could bind find
- 1:01:04at a hardware store and they would make people into
- 1:01:07pink slurry and then just dump the pink flurry in
- 1:01:09a hole and just cover it up. So the numbers
- 1:01:12that we see as far as dead and dead and missing,
- 1:01:14there's there's it's it's not a real number.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: Has to be bigger, you know. It's it is.
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: It is a place where you'll go into some towns
- 1:01:24and there's just a bunch of old men and females
- 1:01:27because all the old men are god, you know.
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: Uh. Or you'll see.
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: You'll see like these abandoned graves in some places. There
- 1:01:37was I talked to a lady who's a part of
- 1:01:39some of these.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: There's these organizations all over the country right now. There
- 1:01:43are grassroots organizations that are basically just dedicated to finding
- 1:01:47clandestine body disposal places. They're looking for their family members. Basically, Ah,
- 1:01:54how do you say that word?
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: Is a guery? Uh?
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: That yeah, that's a that's uh, that's that's the one
- 1:02:01I told you.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: That was.
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: People were trying to make it seem like this was
- 1:02:04like an extermination gap.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: How do you say the word high concentrations of ashes,
- 1:02:10the presence of clandestine crematoriums.
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: Yeah, bodies were disposed of there, not at the volume
- 1:02:17of an Auschwitz level thing, but yeah, there were definitely
- 1:02:21people getting burned there.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: So they're just killing people all the time.
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean body disposal to a level where there's
- 1:02:29nothing left is something you do in a place where
- 1:02:31you're worried about the government catching it.
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: But this is this is Gualahara.
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: This is at least because it's a new generation cartel territory,
- 1:02:38they're not worried about body abound there's no for the
- 1:02:42forensic services in some of these places are like here,
- 1:02:46here's some spent casings from this murder.
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, just throw them in this hill of
- 1:02:52the giant hill of casings that they have in this
- 1:02:54evidence locker. Right, they're overwhelmed. There's no Also, he can't
- 1:03:00solve any crimes. You're dead ninety percent of all. Imagine
- 1:03:04your job. If you do it well, you're dead. Yeah, exactly,
- 1:03:08You're not gonna do it well. All murders in Mexico
- 1:03:11never saw maybe a bit over that. So it's.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: You.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: You.
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: You have this cartel now that is you know, you
- 1:03:26have elmilesbod is gone. Ol Chappo's sons are cutting a deal.
- 1:03:30One of them apparently has made an alliance with the
- 1:03:34head of the new generation card element by Emento is
- 1:03:38the nickname is Elmento and Avant this is his real name.
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: Last time I was here, there was like this. Almost
- 1:03:45five years ago I was here. There were questions about
- 1:03:47if he was even alive or not. You know, people
- 1:03:49thought that it was like being kept alive as its
- 1:03:52folk figure because he's low key, very low key, not
- 1:03:58like he's not flashy. Everything's military rise, he's very good
- 1:04:01at his trade draft. But recently, you know, he's very
- 1:04:06much alive. He's very much exposed himself a few times.
- 1:04:10He was almost arrested recently and the federal police apparently
- 1:04:13tipped off his security about the operation against him. It's
- 1:04:17the second time he was almost arrested. Uh, he's the
- 1:04:20biggest target.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: Right now in Mexico.
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: We recently learned through the media of the Trump's authorization
- 1:04:28of utilizing military action in Latin America in general. You know,
- 1:04:33all the way from Venezuela all the way up to Mexico,
- 1:04:37and you know, you hear the rumblings of like, how
- 1:04:39is this military operation going to look like?
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: Is this going to be an invasion?
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: You know, are we going to see like a column
- 1:04:44of US marines driving down to Tijuana. We'll probably getting
- 1:04:48spent some time in Tijuana for it's probably not a
- 1:04:51good idea. Are we going to see like people Delta
- 1:04:55Force guys showing up in Tijuana and Cooliacan and going
- 1:04:59on a aid on their own without permission of the
- 1:05:02local authorities. What's this going to look like? I don't
- 1:05:07see a direct trust between Mexico and the Mexico and
- 1:05:12the United States anymore. There's like there's issues there. The
- 1:05:16US has realized that politics are are compromised at high
- 1:05:20level in Mexico completely with the example of the recent
- 1:05:24almost arrest of the messios I guess servantelemento, you see
- 1:05:28that the federal forces are compromised as well. So like,
- 1:05:32who do you trust as an American force that is
- 1:05:34trying to cut the stem of drugs into this country.
- 1:05:39Is kind of the excuse that they're utilizing for this designation.
- 1:05:43And who do you trust down there? I posted I'm
- 1:05:51friends with a bunch of dorks and they're all looking
- 1:05:53at flight tracker and intelligence and stuff like that, and
- 1:05:55I'm a dork too, And one of them sent me this,
- 1:05:58this the suspicious drone, American drone flying over the state
- 1:06:03of Mexico in circles, and I posted it immediately, you know,
- 1:06:07I think I was one of the first ones to
- 1:06:08post it online. And the press briefing happened almost immediately,
- 1:06:14and the head of Public Safety in Mexico, Oh who
- 1:06:17said like, oh, yeah, this.
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: Is we asked for this drone to fly over this area.
- 1:06:23Who did you ask?
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: This is not a military drone, but we asked for
- 1:06:27it to fly over this area, which I don't think
- 1:06:31he knows.
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: What's fucking what the fuck's going on? I don't know why.
- 1:06:33I don't think.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: I don't think he knows why there's a drone flying
- 1:06:36out over a very specific part of Mexico.
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: It seemed like he didn't or either he didn't want
- 1:06:41to reveal this drone or but there have been many
- 1:06:46times recently of drones just flying close to the close
- 1:06:49to the border or over over Mexico. They're clearly drawing
- 1:06:53a map, an intelligence map of targets in Mexico.
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: Till something is coming. I think, whoa, But what is
- 1:07:01it going to look like? Though?
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: The question that people are asking, I don't know. Speaking
- 1:07:07to somebody like Gafe down in Mexico, he was a
- 1:07:11former member of the Special Operations and I asked him, like, hey,
- 1:07:16what is the military going to do with the US
- 1:07:17as like we're going in without your approval? He said, well,
- 1:07:25if you start fighting the cartels without approval of the
- 1:07:29Mexican government, you will turn criminal organizations into freedom fighters.
- 1:07:35And they're already integrated into the military in certain ways
- 1:07:38because some of them are working for them and some
- 1:07:40of them are working for us. So you will make
- 1:07:42the whole cohesive force against you. Oh boy, which is
- 1:07:48an interesting theory. You know, if that happens, it seems
- 1:07:52likely it does.
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: I mean, because there's like anti US sentiment already it is,
- 1:07:58and then also the closing of the book Orders and
- 1:08:00it's a perfect storm. I mean, Trump is.
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: Divisive, and in Mexico, he has been turned into this
- 1:08:10very clear, uh like enemy, like this is the enemy,
- 1:08:15you know, specifically by politicians down there. He's pretty easy
- 1:08:19to just vilify, like it's as a fault.
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: You know, why is cin Ala on fire?
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: Maybe it's because you have a corrupt governor there who
- 1:08:27was clearly in cartel ties and stuff like that, who's
- 1:08:29part of your party, but you haven't figured out how
- 1:08:31to get him out office. Maybe it's at or No,
- 1:08:33it's the US because they abducted Almaia. That's why that
- 1:08:36place is on fire. They charge someone with trees and
- 1:08:39that's why they charge somebody with high treason, which is
- 1:08:42unheard of. But there you go, so like, who who
- 1:08:47are you going to trust in that realm? And so
- 1:08:50Mexico has pressed the whole the US is responsible for this,
- 1:08:55and they're kind of wiping their hands from it. And
- 1:08:58the US is keeps pointing their finger at high level government,
- 1:09:01which is something. Again five years ago, I spoke about
- 1:09:04this on this podcast, and I got a lot of
- 1:09:06shit for it. I said, there's no way of going
- 1:09:09after cartels in Mexico without going after the government, because
- 1:09:14they're one and the same in a lot of places.
- 1:09:16And that was back then, and now it's even more clear.
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: As how ti they are if nothing happens, if the
- 1:09:22United States doesn't do anything, how much bigger can the
- 1:09:27cartels get? This is the question. It's like, what is
- 1:09:31going to happen to just this entire country? This?
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: If you have a if you have and this is
- 1:09:42what that That's why you have a lot of conflicts
- 1:09:44happening in routes that are leading towards the border. The
- 1:09:49scene long cartel operated in a very old fashioned way.
- 1:09:52You know, they wouldn't know and the comas it was
- 1:09:55their politics. Don't ship where you eat was their politics.
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: For a long time.
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: You saw a change in this when the brutality aspect
- 1:10:08and how just shit changed. In Mexico, there was an
- 1:10:11incident members of those Ariano Felix cartel, a Tijuana cartel,
- 1:10:16were in a direct conflict with elements of Ol Chapo
- 1:10:18Guzman's organization, and.
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: They had a assassin.
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: They had an assassin basically infiltrate the living circle of
- 1:10:34one of El Chapo's main guys of what Obama, and
- 1:10:38he seduced his wife, killed her, and abducted his kids
- 1:10:43and threw them off a bridge and sent that video
- 1:10:46to a litt opama. And I think after the I mean,
- 1:10:51brutal shit had happened after that before that, but I
- 1:10:54think that set off this.
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: At some point that.
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: Whole war that happened. You know, you start getting the
- 1:11:07element of the set that's coming in. Who were former
- 1:11:09Special Operator guys who basically said, like, we can start
- 1:11:12our own cartel, which a lot of them were Fort
- 1:11:14Bragg trained individuals that went down. You know, some of
- 1:11:19them went through the Green Beret course. Four Nationals go
- 1:11:23through that course a lot. So they went to the
- 1:11:25Green Beery course, and then they go back to Mexico.
- 1:11:27And then as soon as they get back to Mexico, like, oh,
- 1:11:29congratulations on your cool green beret and all this training.
- 1:11:33Come train hard guys or come.
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: Work for us.
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: So at some point all of this started militarizing the
- 1:11:43conflict in Mexico. It went from gang against gang violence,
- 1:11:48which is like very reminiscent of some of the stuff
- 1:11:49that happened up here during the Gang era or some
- 1:11:53of the al Capone era, you know, shootouts between people.
- 1:12:00The zetas change the game. They started bringing in guerrilla
- 1:12:05warfare tactics into the into into this realm. They started
- 1:12:09doing all of those torture videos and cartel execution videos.
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: That's that that comes from them.
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: They realized that, you know, part of a gorilla warfare
- 1:12:19campaign is propaganda, and how can you make proppaganda of
- 1:12:23shooting a guy in a field, right filma?
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: So they changed that game.
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: They started realizing that, yeah, it's one thing having a
- 1:12:32kid with like sneakers on the back of a truck
- 1:12:34with an ak whose dad was part of the organization
- 1:12:37and he brought his kid in, but it's probably a
- 1:12:40better idea to have militarized or paramilitary groups working with us,
- 1:12:44you know. So they started getting these evolutions of ideas
- 1:12:47of what a criminal organization should be.
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: And all of that. You know.
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: The members of the new generation cartel that are now
- 1:12:56kind of like dominating Mexico started off as a zeta
- 1:13:00hunting force by the Zeno Law cartel formed in Jalisco,
- 1:13:05and they said like, well, we can do this for
- 1:13:07ourselves now too as well. So that's how they originated
- 1:13:10in a lot of ways. So this organization has taken
- 1:13:14the textbook learning process of all these other cartels and
- 1:13:17is now this cartel with all this foundation, educational foundation,
- 1:13:22as far as how to set up an organization, how
- 1:13:24to set up all these transnational routes, how to operate
- 1:13:27on both sides of the border, how to augment their
- 1:13:30capabilities constantly through technology. Drone warfare was first seen, I
- 1:13:39think in Mexico. You start you saw drone shopping bombs
- 1:13:42and shit like that in Mexico before the Ukrainian conflict.
- 1:13:46But they got really good at it. The Ukrainians have
- 1:13:49fucking taken that shit to an art form. There are
- 1:13:52Mexican nationals fighting for their foreign services, their foreign brigades
- 1:13:56in the Ukraine, and some of them have gone into
- 1:13:58that route and some of them are coming back. And
- 1:14:04you started seeing this sudden sophistication. It used to be
- 1:14:08bomblets dropped from these commercial drones and the explosives and
- 1:14:11the more probably mining level explosives. You started seeing these
- 1:14:16these the bomblets made and they were more reminiscent of
- 1:14:20Colombian explosives or IRA era explosives. And now you're seeing
- 1:14:26these coordinated drone attacks on military forces in Mexico. I
- 1:14:30think they recently got some high level army official. They
- 1:14:35got them with a drone. Didn't kill them, but almost
- 1:14:37they almost killed them. So we started seeing these drone
- 1:14:41now being drones, now being operated as scouts, so you
- 1:14:45can't get close to them because the drones are in
- 1:14:47the sky. So now you're seeing drone cartels fighting against
- 1:14:51other cartel drones. So that I was seeing cartel guys
- 1:14:54with these futuristic drone anti drone guns in the field.
- 1:14:59It looked like space but on the hands of a
- 1:15:01cartel guy wearing like sandals, which is what's going What
- 1:15:05the fuck is going on with these people? So you
- 1:15:08start seeing all this augmentation of capabilities. This single cartel
- 1:15:13now has all of this history behind it, all of
- 1:15:15these lessons behind it, all this training, behind all this technology,
- 1:15:20and it is poised to make punch a hole right
- 1:15:23through his territory and go up.
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: North into the United States.
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: Right there are no segments of the border wall currently
- 1:15:32that are actually controlled or a city that is controlled
- 1:15:36by the new generation cartel that is on the border.
- 1:15:39That's not the case now, but there are places that
- 1:15:43are starting to maybe look like they're going that way,
- 1:15:46Tijuana being one of them where I'm from. You start
- 1:15:50seeing the last remaining suns of ol Chappa Guzma that
- 1:15:54are free. Archievaldo is the strongest one and his faction
- 1:15:58of those chappitos as what they all themselves. This past
- 1:16:02year announced that they had reached an alliance with this
- 1:16:05new cartel, this new generation cartel, so it's now it's
- 1:16:09a cohesive force. And they had historical ties and and
- 1:16:12and and a part of the border that they owned
- 1:16:15already that they inherited from their dad. So that nightmare
- 1:16:18scenario having this cartel now having a clear doorway into
- 1:16:22the United States is it's pretty close if it's not
- 1:16:25there already.
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: And how wild would it be if the border was
- 1:16:28still wide open because they've cut down on illegal immigrants
- 1:16:32by some high ninety.
- 1:16:35Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's way down. They're still crossing's going on.
- 1:16:37Oh yeah, it's it's really expensive. It's really expensive. You
- 1:16:41got to get that guy off TikTok.
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. Uh. There's a bunch of ways they
- 1:16:46do have.
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: I saw one where they were like, hey, they'll grab
- 1:16:51a portfolio full of copies of IDs and like, oh,
- 1:16:55you look like this dude, and then they'll give you
- 1:16:58a you know this, like just get really drunk before
- 1:17:01you cross and pretend you're asleep, and they'll give you
- 1:17:05paperwork that looks like the dude that looks like you.
- 1:17:08And that's how they cross up people. And that's a lot,
- 1:17:10it's very expensive. That's how they cross you.
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: Fast boats. You know.
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: There's a bunch of videos online just boats just arriving
- 1:17:17on the beach and just dudes jumping out.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: To classic running and run.
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: There's a shortage of those wave runners. There's the shortage
- 1:17:25of them in Mexico because they just buy them just
- 1:17:27a well short trip.
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: I mean, if you think, if you're you get on
- 1:17:30one in Tijuana and you hop over to San Diego,
- 1:17:33it's not that far.
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: No, and and and then and they'll swarm it. Now
- 1:17:37they'll do many of those boats. And if you are
- 1:17:39in tj you can see off the coast. There's a
- 1:17:41bunch of Navy ships now off the coast there, so
- 1:17:44like which is a cost for alarm for a lot
- 1:17:47of Mexicans. The next when I say Mexicans view any
- 1:17:52sort of intervention by the United States with fear, although
- 1:17:56they are also fearful of what happens if this is
- 1:18:00allowed to continue in Mexico and they don't see any
- 1:18:02solutions from the government.
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: So it seems like the opposite. It seems like it's
- 1:18:06going more and more towards the cartel. Yeah, so what
- 1:18:09would happen if the United States didn't infiltrate, if the
- 1:18:12United States didn't attack, if something didn't happen, if they
- 1:18:15just I think that's stepped away. I think we're already involved.
- 1:18:19Speaker 3: You know, this, this this arrest of them, a sambada,
- 1:18:23this uh, this this designation that allows a lot of things,
- 1:18:27safety of safeties off, the type of thing against Mexico,
- 1:18:31against some of these cartels. What's worrying in the eyes
- 1:18:34of Mexico and in the eyes of Mexicans. I guess
- 1:18:38the you know, the fact that there was a promise
- 1:18:41of no negotiating with terrorists, or it's at least it's
- 1:18:44it's something that is assumed, you know, you don't negotiate
- 1:18:47with terrorists. It's like a thing, you know. But all
- 1:18:50of a sudden, one of these factions just made a deal,
- 1:18:52and now they they're negotiating with them, and now all
- 1:18:54these people are crossing that border, their family members are
- 1:18:57crossing that border.
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: Now in the safety of the United States. The dude
- 1:19:02that the U.
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: United States made a deal with is responsible for the
- 1:19:05death of a few special operators that were part of
- 1:19:08his arrest. What what are they going to tell their
- 1:19:10families of that loss and why they died, you know,
- 1:19:15and also the piles of bodies that were around after
- 1:19:20both of his arrest attempts.
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: So there's this trust on all sides.
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: Mexicans don't trust the government to solve it because it's been.
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: A deal with your president. What's her deal?
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: Shame mom uh woke, very woke, very to the left.
- 1:19:39A few gorilla forces and in Central America have come
- 1:19:42out and said that she's one of her that she
- 1:19:44was one of the resistance fighters with them. Jewish Harry,
- 1:19:51that's kind of it is very odd from Mexico. Very
- 1:19:55loved by large se segments the population.
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: What is there about it that she's loved, Like what
- 1:20:04it's about her policies or.
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: I think she's feeding off a lot of the love
- 1:20:08that they had for Amlo am Amla was our Trump.
- 1:20:13That's the best way of describing him. Popular, populous guy
- 1:20:18uh drained a swamp rhetoric like all these other guys,
- 1:20:22all the their the conservatives can go, they're gone, We're
- 1:20:25gonna win this.
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: He won by a landslide.
- 1:20:29Speaker 3: But he keeps talking about He kept talking about conservatives
- 1:20:32and the previous parties. And then but but all the
- 1:20:35Mariner party is made up of all these other politicians
- 1:20:37to switching sides and joining his party. You know, shame Mom,
- 1:20:42Shame Mom came in with a big job on her
- 1:20:45hands as far as security. She immediately reversed the whole
- 1:20:48of rustin Lovelasso's. I mean, there's lolssos on the table now,
- 1:20:51you know, I recognize that she brought into the into
- 1:20:56into office with her man.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: What did you mean by that? What you say? But
- 1:21:01as Lolaso's like hugs, not hugs, not bullets. She got
- 1:21:04rid of that. And now there's there's a lot more.
- 1:21:06There's a lot of molassos. There's more bullets.
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: Now there's a man in power right now, a security
- 1:21:13official name mar.
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: Who.
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: He has a sorted history in Mexico. He comes from people.
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: There's there.
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: He has been in circles of people that have been
- 1:21:24involved in some ship, but he himself has not been.
- 1:21:28There's nothing on him that.
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: We know of.
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:21:33Speaker 3: The super cop is what he call him. He's very
- 1:21:35well loved by his men. I actually talked to a
- 1:21:37few people that work directly with him. He seems to
- 1:21:40be like a guy who was willing to go up
- 1:21:42to task uh. And he's receiving all this pressure from
- 1:21:45the United States, so like we need results from you guys,
- 1:21:48like what are you doing? So he has had He
- 1:21:50has been heading up operations against some of these organizations,
- 1:21:53specifically in seen Aloa, and we've seen record breaking ventanyl
- 1:21:59seizure and high level politicians being cut up in some
- 1:22:03of these things. And specifically the interesting part of the
- 1:22:06operations he's conducting all over Mexico is he's actually going
- 1:22:09after municipalities. So he's going after like municipal presidents and
- 1:22:14some of the government local governments that are basically all corrupted.
- 1:22:17He realizes that, hey, where's the cartel here. Oh, the
- 1:22:20cartel's a government, local governments of cartels. Oh, so they
- 1:22:23do these mass swarm operations on some of these places
- 1:22:26where the arrest of police chief, the arrest of mayor.
- 1:22:29That this is that he's realizes that this is the
- 1:22:32front that he has to that will fight, because the
- 1:22:34cartel isn't just these organizations out in the hills anymore.
- 1:22:39They're inside, they're infiltrated, they're in politics, you know, and
- 1:22:43people think about drugs only, but drugs don't that these
- 1:22:48cartels are fighting for what chi call as well fuel trafficking.
- 1:22:52You know, there was a fan avocados avocados, if you
- 1:22:54go to if you, if you if you go to
- 1:22:56Chipotle in order extra walk, you're putting money in the
- 1:22:59in the pockets of this new generation cartel or the
- 1:23:02Famila Mitrokhana. Ow crazy is that it's a wild h
- 1:23:06and it's it's a fuel theft, and the fuel theft
- 1:23:09flout of it what she calls what they call it
- 1:23:11in Mexico is interesting, but that catches that that puts
- 1:23:15in a lot of people in the United States that
- 1:23:17have been involved in it, taking illegally siphoned fuel from
- 1:23:21Mexico by some of these criminal organizations, putting in a
- 1:23:24ship and fly and then doing a lot of magic
- 1:23:27with the paperwork, and then it ended up ending it
- 1:23:30up and ending up in the US and money exchanging
- 1:23:33weird hands. So that's another side of it that people
- 1:23:36don't kind of realize.
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: One of the look at this, Mexican authorities sees nearly
- 1:23:43four million gallons of stolen fuel ap news.
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: This has been going on for years and against another
- 1:23:50part of the way they finance themselves. And these criminal
- 1:23:52organizations have been able to grow without.
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: Yeah they branch out. Oh they've diversified years ago, so
- 1:23:59they're not just so even if you shut off the
- 1:24:01drugs totally, they're still making billions in low key.
- 1:24:04Speaker 3: Mexico has become first world in a lot of ways.
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: First, we're you know, we're welcoming all your huddled masses.
- 1:24:11You know, Mexico is Mexico is the the statue of liberty.
- 1:24:16All the economic migrants that can't afford to live here
- 1:24:18in the US moved to Mexico. There's like giant communities
- 1:24:23of America's living down there. When we were in Jalisco,
- 1:24:25we were surprised to find liked Greingos living in the
- 1:24:28middle of Cartil territory.
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: Weren't the Mormons the first people to do that?
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: There?
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: There was there, there were some of the first ones
- 1:24:35to do some of these communities, but like xpac communities
- 1:24:37down in Mexico are common. Yeah, the Mormons were pretty
- 1:24:41big down there. Actually, Yeah, yeah, there's yeah, they you know,
- 1:24:49I think the last time I was here was when
- 1:24:50that massacre happened.
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so there there Mormon compounds in Mexico. Yeah, armed. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:25:00they have been there since the eighteen hundreds. Yeah. Mitt
- 1:25:03Romney's dad was Mexican.
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: Yeah, Romney's dad was born in Mexico. That's why he
- 1:25:09couldn't be president of the United States. It's wild. Yeah.
- 1:25:12And Mitt Romney's dad was a part of one of
- 1:25:14those massive encampments of armed people. Yeah, protecting Joseph Smith's ideas. Yeah. Crazy.
- 1:25:23Speaker 3: Also, like I remember, like when I talked about it
- 1:25:26on this podcast, Mormons from the US corrected me and
- 1:25:31said that those guys weren't real Mormons.
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: Oh so convenient, And I'm like I don't. Well, didn't
- 1:25:36they go over there because they didn't want to get
- 1:25:38rid of polygamy? I think so there was there was
- 1:25:40they should have stuck around. It's coming back. But polygamy
- 1:25:44is back in Toronto. Oh cool. Yeah, Canada because of Islam,
- 1:25:49because so many Muslims have moved to Toronto. They made
- 1:25:52polygamy legal again. Yeah.
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: I wasn't Canada recently. It was like, wow, it's pretty interesting.
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: Yeah, good job guys. Keep at it.
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: The I think Mexico is on its Mexico is probably
- 1:26:06the if you can invest in any country in the
- 1:26:08world right now, I think Mexico would be it. Really
- 1:26:12the industrial plant that is that that it has a
- 1:26:15lot of the stuff that is leaving China. It's moving
- 1:26:17to Mexico youth and has a consumer base that.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: Is growing exponentially. So how do you get population all
- 1:26:26the violence? Is that possible at this point in time?
- 1:26:30Is it so soaked into the culture? I think it is.
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: I think I think we're point a tipping point where
- 1:26:35the Mexican Mexican culture as in general is like sick
- 1:26:40of it, like.
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: It's it doesn't want this yet anymore.
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: We're seeing attacks on freedom of expression in Mexico in
- 1:26:46a way because some of these popular singers that would
- 1:26:50sing cartel songs are now banned from performing performing them live.
- 1:26:55So that's like an attack on freedom of speech. But
- 1:27:00population is pretty.
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: Cool with it though.
- 1:27:01Speaker 3: They're letting it slide, so it means that they're they're
- 1:27:04kind of like ready to give up shit.
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: It became an issue in America right where there was
- 1:27:08a popular singer that they wouldn't allow back into the
- 1:27:11country and he has these huge sold out arena shows. Yeah,
- 1:27:14I mean again.
- 1:27:16Speaker 3: I talked about how if you're going to attack these organizations,
- 1:27:21you have to attack all of these or like, just
- 1:27:24like you attack al Qaida, you attack who finances them
- 1:27:27who and a lot of these A lot of these
- 1:27:30organizations were basically utilizing some of these popular singers to
- 1:27:33launder money or to gain influence in the US or
- 1:27:36to sing about their exploits. They would pay them to
- 1:27:38sing about their exploits. So when this designation came down,
- 1:27:42it was clear that some of these guys were on
- 1:27:43the chopping block. The steroids designation came down from the government.
- 1:27:47The US government is clear that some of these singers
- 1:27:48are going to be on the chopping block.
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: Another phenomenon is that the US is actually just the.
- 1:27:54Speaker 5: Guy for my listeners on Spotify every month.
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: He was killed at a parking lot yesterday. Oh wow,
- 1:28:04musicians celebrated drug cartel exploits and songs. Shot dead in
- 1:28:07parking lot in Mexico. Oh yeah, yeah, this is yesterday?
- 1:28:11Is this today? Yes? Wow? Yeah, this is the singer. Yeah.
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: He used to hang out with Mayos Simbala and l
- 1:28:24Chappel Guzman and talk about it. Openly on podcast in Mexico.
- 1:28:28And you know that's another phenomenon that's currently happening YouTubers
- 1:28:34since since it was so normalized in Mexico, just a
- 1:28:37bunch of YouTubers started popping up like I'm a cartel YouTuber.
- 1:28:40I'm going to talk about cartel stuff on YouTube, and
- 1:28:42and uh they've been getting when when the when the
- 1:28:47Chapitos and the Mayos started fighting over Sinaloa, those Mayos
- 1:28:53put a plane up and started, uh this person pathlets
- 1:28:58with pictures of all the YouTube influencers that they they
- 1:29:02knew were helping out the Chapito's faction or they were
- 1:29:06working with them, and they've been going down that list.
- 1:29:12They recently killed one one one dude at his house
- 1:29:16who was talking about cartels.
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: You know, so like TMZ for cartels.
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they they the the the hackers that that
- 1:29:27that's him that he Uh apparently the cartel hired U
- 1:29:33a hacker to figure out to send a link to
- 1:29:35his wife that she opened, and they tracked the tract
- 1:29:38the attract them where they were hiding. Wow, like he
- 1:29:43was he's also he was all over social media in
- 1:29:46Mexico and even even regular media in Mexico talking about
- 1:29:49the cartels.
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: As of Sunday, no arrests have been reported.
- 1:29:54Speaker 3: No, somebody's walked into his house with a scheme mask
- 1:29:56and shot him through the bathroom door. When you try
- 1:29:58to hold the chat and this is these are all
- 1:30:03signs that the populace in Mexico, independently of cartels, just
- 1:30:07the general mass of Mexicans, this is the tipping point.
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: They're done with this, they don't want this anymore. Which,
- 1:30:17you know, what do you do with that energy, that momentum.
- 1:30:19How many people are we talking about when you talk
- 1:30:21about all of the cartels, how many people are like
- 1:30:27how big thousands? If it was an army, how big
- 1:30:30would the army be? I don't know, four hundred thousand people?
- 1:30:35Speaker 3: WHOA just like doing doing really quick math in my
- 1:30:40head of like approximations of how many new generation cartel
- 1:30:43members are apparently out there, which there's no way real
- 1:30:46way of knowing, but there are the formulations.
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: How many Taliban we're in Afghanistan. I don't know, that's
- 1:30:53Jamie Google that during the height of the war, how
- 1:30:55many Taliban we're in Afghanistan?
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: And and and and then you see these organists I
- 1:31:00mean there's the people fighting out there, the people in charge,
- 1:31:04the people settling up shop, the people in finance, the
- 1:31:07people that are running the shell companies, the people that
- 1:31:10are running the actual companies, because these Cartel's own companies.
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: You know. So like, okay, look at this. Early estimates
- 1:31:18from two thousand and one to twenty seventeen range from
- 1:31:20forty five thousand and sixty thousand.
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: I think there's way more fighters down there.
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: How crazy is that? So we were we spent trillions
- 1:31:29of dollars. We were there for twenty years in Afghanistan
- 1:31:32for sixty thousand dudes that were hiding out in the mountains.
- 1:31:37And then we left, and we left behind black Hawk helicopters,
- 1:31:40tanks and a lot of and a lot of those
- 1:31:42firearms are showing up in Mexico. Of course their for sale.
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: The the.
- 1:31:49Speaker 3: The night vision equipment or the night vision like high
- 1:31:54sophistic and expensive. I know about night vision. I've been
- 1:31:56learning about all this stuff in the US. For my
- 1:31:58friends were all guns and I'm looking at like, oh,
- 1:32:02go ahead, look at these, like, dude, where are those?
- 1:32:04They're in a house and cooly goune. It's like, holy shit, dude,
- 1:32:08How the fuck did they get from there's routes.
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: I bet dude's got on a plane. The moment the
- 1:32:13US left, they were like, you all this shit, we
- 1:32:16got money, Let's make a deal with these guys.
- 1:32:18Speaker 3: Yeah, weaponry is coming coming in from that side. Obviously
- 1:32:23the US is responsible for most of the gun running.
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: Down to Mexico. Well, let's talk about Operation Fast and Furious,
- 1:32:30which was bananas.
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: Wide receiver started off as wide Receiver.
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: I think that was the original name for it. It's
- 1:32:38a bushan to people what happened, so I should administration
- 1:32:42it was a wide receiver, and then Obama administration it
- 1:32:45was Fast and Furious.
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: And again I'm going to speak of this. My participation
- 1:32:49in all this was I was in Mexico and a
- 1:32:50bunch of my friends got killed with those guns. Wow,
- 1:32:55we started seeing just imagine I'm in my twenties back then,
- 1:33:00and you know, we get shootouts and people are running
- 1:33:03around with guns and stuff like that. But it's mostly
- 1:33:05like AR fifteen's AK forty seven. Some of them are
- 1:33:09really rusty and old Noringko rifles from China, just weird firearms.
- 1:33:14And all of a sudden you start finding people with
- 1:33:16fifty caliver Barrett rifles with scopes on them, zeroed in
- 1:33:22in the box with munitions. And then you look at
- 1:33:26the box where they came in and you see a
- 1:33:28label that says Arizona on it, and you're like, I
- 1:33:32got it on you know, that's a weird thing to
- 1:33:35find on this fucking crackhouse that we're at. And then
- 1:33:39a few of my friends got killed with these FN
- 1:33:41five seven pistols. It's a high velocity round that comes
- 1:33:45in them. It was kind of fabricated in the Cold
- 1:33:48War to fight Russians invading Europe and they wanted to
- 1:33:51be able to penetrate their body armor with small pistols
- 1:33:54and small subguns that they might have in the urban areas.
- 1:33:58So we start seeing those and just a massive amount
- 1:34:02of firearms being delivered specifically to see the lower cartel
- 1:34:05groups in the area that we're working with, and we
- 1:34:08didn't know anything about it. Where all these things coming from.
- 1:34:11Apparently in the US during the Bush administration, they started
- 1:34:16an operation that was meant to track firearms being straw
- 1:34:20purchased in places like Arizona and other parts of the
- 1:34:24US by individuals being gathered by cartel members put into
- 1:34:29cars and then driven down to Mexico to supply the cartels.
- 1:34:33The ATF was involved in all this. Eric Holder was
- 1:34:36very involved in all this. Their plan or theory was,
- 1:34:40we're going to track these guns when they go down
- 1:34:41to Mexico. But nothing got tracked, or at least we
- 1:34:47don't know of anything that got really tracked or any
- 1:34:50high level arrest made because of the guns that they
- 1:34:53were just allowed to What do you think is really
- 1:34:55going on?
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: Because that sounds like a bullshit cover we're just tracking
- 1:34:59these guns.
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: I mean, what do you do when you want to
- 1:35:01destabilize region if you're another country, you give guns to
- 1:35:06the ships as Why would.
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: They want to destabilize them in such a moral way
- 1:35:11that they needed this to happen so badly they were
- 1:35:13willing to give them weapons to kill each other. I mean,
- 1:35:18it's it's it's it's a back then.
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: It was a scene law cartel trying to fight control
- 1:35:23over the area, over some people that were coming like
- 1:35:26the ze does and other organizations. And I don't know
- 1:35:29why why would you send guns to this specific region.
- 1:35:32I'm not I'm not saying that the US purposely armed
- 1:35:35a single cartel in Mexico.
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: But that's what it kind of looks like. Yeah, you know,
- 1:35:40that's what it looks like. That's the only thing. And
- 1:35:44this was the purpose of it, And this is what.
- 1:35:45Speaker 3: We saw because you know, a lot of the a
- 1:35:48lot of the things that they were because it looked
- 1:35:51like a laundry list some of the stuff that they
- 1:35:53were bringing down.
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: Fifty cal.
- 1:35:55Speaker 3: Why do you think fifty calibers started getting like we're
- 1:35:58so hot? Back arts a lot. It's because people started
- 1:36:02doing armor, so they need a way to get getting
- 1:36:05through armor. So fifty cows right. And Americans, especially some
- 1:36:09of my American military and police friends, are always making
- 1:36:12fun of the fact that none of these big gas
- 1:36:14rifles have any sights on them. They do have sights
- 1:36:17on them, but they get stolen by the cops before
- 1:36:19they put them in front of the picture for the news.
- 1:36:21But I've heard, I've heard it wasn't mean.
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: That makes sense. You get a nice expensive yeah red
- 1:36:30dot on that these guys don't even have sights on
- 1:36:35their guns.
- 1:36:36Speaker 3: They can shoot, they can shoot far, they could shoot,
- 1:36:38they could shoot well, some of them, not all of them.
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got expensive guns of coursive gun sites. Yeah,
- 1:36:42that's ridiculous.
- 1:36:43Speaker 3: Yeah, but everything get stripped off, you know, donations. Of course,
- 1:36:48these these started showing up in Mexico. A bunch of
- 1:36:51people started dying. And then two federal agents that were
- 1:36:54doing a protection detail that died down there during a
- 1:36:57cartel shootout. Not two shirt on the details of this,
- 1:37:00but uh, they were involved in a shootout in Mexico.
- 1:37:03They were doing a protection detail down there. One of
- 1:37:05them was a Border Patrol agent assigned to this.
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: Ryan Terry.
- 1:37:10Speaker 3: He set up they actually set up a foundation. They
- 1:37:12set up a foundation in his memory. And I I
- 1:37:15think I raised like a few grand for this foundation.
- 1:37:19And I did that only as a point to be
- 1:37:20able to say, hey, yeah, I raised this money for
- 1:37:23this foundation to honor this Swallen police officer that was
- 1:37:26going that was in Mexico that was killed by American
- 1:37:28guns that were given to the cartels. To bring attention
- 1:37:32to the fact that you know, we know who Ryan
- 1:37:34Terry is, but do we know who my friends are
- 1:37:36who were killed by these guns or all a lot
- 1:37:38of the unknown people that were killed by some of
- 1:37:40these guns that were allowed to walk through that border
- 1:37:43knowingly by ATF officials, even though the people running these
- 1:37:46gun shops were like, hey, dude, are you sure, Like
- 1:37:49there's they didn't want like four ak's like are you sure?
- 1:37:52Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 1:37:52Speaker 3: Yeah, let him walk where were They're under surveillance, were.
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: Tracking these and they was going to go down. So
- 1:38:01if you had to imagine, no one's saying this is true,
- 1:38:03but if you had to imagine what kind of a
- 1:38:06deal would be made where you would guarantee the shipment
- 1:38:11of weapons from the United States into Mexico by the
- 1:38:14federal government for what purpose the destabilized? Destabilized support a
- 1:38:21specific faction, right, But that's the question why them? And
- 1:38:26like was it money? Was it influence? Were they working
- 1:38:29on something? You know, there's a lot of We're in
- 1:38:31the realm of theory, right of course.
- 1:38:33Speaker 3: But Elmayo Sambala learned his tradecraft in Los Angeles and
- 1:38:38fifty years ago and one of the people that was
- 1:38:40instrumental in showing him how to run drugs and move
- 1:38:43things through countries was a man who was a Castro
- 1:38:47era police officer who was involved in the be of
- 1:38:49pig incidents. That man married his Elmaio's sister, and that's
- 1:38:54who taught Elmayo Sambala everything he knew about moving things
- 1:38:58around border.
- 1:38:59Speaker 4: Wow.
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna say the CIA, but oh my god. Well,
- 1:39:08you know, I've had Freeway Ricky Ross on the podcast
- 1:39:12multiple times. And for people who haven't seen those episodes
- 1:39:15or heard me talk about Ricky, Ricky is the real
- 1:39:19Rick Ross, like Rick Ross, the rapper, that's not his name.
- 1:39:23He named himself Rick Ross because Freeway Ricky was a legend.
- 1:39:28He was a legend in Los Angeles. He was the
- 1:39:31number one cocaine dealer in Los Angeles, and he was
- 1:39:35getting it all from the CIA, and he was helping
- 1:39:39funding the Contras versus the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. And he
- 1:39:44had no idea because he couldn't even read.
- 1:39:47Speaker 3: And that same contra situation pops up again with the
- 1:39:53death of Ak the Dea agent. They one of the people,
- 1:39:58one of the There was two major prisoner extraditions of
- 1:40:03cartel members from Mexico to the US, and the first
- 1:40:05one that came through I think a year ago, was
- 1:40:10the the the apparent murderer of Key Common and I
- 1:40:13was a cartel member and they've always pinned on him
- 1:40:18like he the cartels were that there was this giant
- 1:40:21grove marijuana out there and that key come on and
- 1:40:24I saw it and reported it and Cato Quintero, who
- 1:40:27owned this plantation, had him killed, right. And we actually
- 1:40:30went down to Jalisco where he was tortured and killed
- 1:40:32and talked to the locals there and they.
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: Were like, like that the CIA house, Like what That's
- 1:40:40what some of the people there say. And have you
- 1:40:42ever seen the video of Michael Rupert, who's was a
- 1:40:45friend of mine who passed away years back. He uh,
- 1:40:49he was a former Los Angeles narcotics officer. He was
- 1:40:53on c SPAN at a hearing and during the during
- 1:40:58the hearing said I personally witnessed the CIA selling drugs
- 1:41:02in Los Angeles and everybody goes fucking crazy. It is
- 1:41:05the wildest thing to see because this is like Jamie
- 1:41:09was that the nineties? Yeah, do you remember were you
- 1:41:13around when Rupert was a guest? No, Rupert was pre
- 1:41:16Jamie Wow. Yeah. So Rupert was on a couple of
- 1:41:19times and then he took his own life one time.
- 1:41:24He was very depressed. I don't doubt that he took
- 1:41:26his life. He was living predestitute. I think he was
- 1:41:31in a trailer. You know, I get it. It wasn't
- 1:41:34the end wasn't good, but there was a movie here. Listen, listen,
- 1:41:40Mike Rupert nineteen ninety six. Let's play some of this
- 1:41:43because it is crazy. It's crazy. This is all live

- 1:41:51Angeles and I will tell you director Deutsche, emphetically, and.
- 1:41:54Speaker 4: Can you further into the mic mics seemed to be.
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: I will tell you director Deutsch as a form of
- 1:42:00Los Angeles Police narcotics detective, that the agency has dealt
- 1:42:03drugs throughout this country for a long time.
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: Yo, it was great. And he goes into detail and
- 1:42:11look at these are all LA people and they're like,
- 1:42:14fucking thank you. But this is like Head of the
- 1:42:18CIA is up there too. Ye yes, yes, this is
- 1:42:23like conspiracy theories.
- 1:42:24Speaker 3: This never happened, but exactly there you go, Head of
- 1:42:28the CIA looking him, refer to it.
- 1:42:36Speaker 2: Guy's got a human skin suit on. That's a demon.
- 1:42:42Listen to what he talked. When Rupert talked, just rot
- 1:42:45a note to that guy too.
- 1:42:48Speaker 4: Wait a minute. If you don't like what's going on here,
- 1:42:51please sleep now. No no, no, no, no, no sleep now,
- 1:42:56because there are others who do want to hear what's going.
- 1:42:59Speaker 2: On in this room. Shout out to Jannia forgetting control
- 1:43:03of the room, because everybody went nuts when he said that.
- 1:43:06Speaker 3: So he elaborates, I mean, when you say you went nuts, Deutsche,
- 1:43:12they're looking that.
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: He talks to the director operations known as Amadeus, Pegasus
- 1:43:17and Watchtower. I have watched Tower documents heavily redacted by
- 1:43:22the agency. I was personally exposed to CIA operations and
- 1:43:25recruited by CIA personnel who attempted to recruit me in
- 1:43:28the late seventies to become involved in protecting agency drug
- 1:43:32operations in this country. I have been trying to get
- 1:43:35this out for eighteen years, and I have the evidence.
- 1:43:37My question for you is very specific, Sir, If in
- 1:43:40the course of the IG's investigations and Fred Hits's work,
- 1:43:44you come across evidence of severely criminal activity and it's classified,
- 1:43:49will you use that classification to hide the criminal activity
- 1:43:53or will you tell the American people the truth?
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: He's like, should I handle this?
- 1:44:04Speaker 3: They're going to activate the bomb in his head right there.
- 1:44:06Speaker 4: You want to hear the response first from Congressman Julian Dixon.
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: And then from the Director He's like, I don't want
- 1:44:14to talk.
- 1:44:14Speaker 4: Wait a minute from your from York. I'm sorry, sir.
- 1:44:22Speaker 2: I will allow the director the guy at the back,
- 1:44:24but this is taking he's there to try and pull
- 1:44:28him out. If something like that.
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: About CIA illegal activity.
- 1:44:34Speaker 2: I don't know about those clowns that guy's doing. Bill
- 1:44:35Gates answer, should immediately bring that information wherever you want to.
- 1:44:40Let me suggest three places. The Los Angeles Police Department.
- 1:44:52I'm please.
- 1:44:55Speaker 4: If I'm sorry, others want to hear this answer, I
- 1:45:02am sorry.
- 1:45:03Speaker 2: Took out the dude in the front with the leopard hat,
- 1:45:06the leopard scarf. Amazing, amazing segment of time, the.
- 1:45:12Speaker 7: Office of one of your congress persons.
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: This I got shot at.
- 1:45:21Speaker 2: Ports you hear him. I did that eighteen years ago.
- 1:45:25I got shot out for Jamie Find that find the
- 1:45:28trailer for that movie they did with him. So there
- 1:45:31was they were interviewing him. I forget what the entire
- 1:45:34premise of this thing was. They were interviewing him for something,
- 1:45:37and he was so intense they decided to do an
- 1:45:40entire movie of just Michael Rupert sitting in a chair
- 1:45:44in like a warehouse, smoking cigarettes and talking about the
- 1:45:48collapse of the global economy collapse. Play the trailer for
- 1:45:53this because it's so nut. See if you can find
- 1:45:55the trailer for collapsed. Yeah.
- 1:45:58Speaker 4: Me.
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: The whole CIA thing is, this is Michael.
- 1:46:05Speaker 7: We are all collectively responsible for what may be the
- 1:46:09greatest preventable holocaust in the history of planet Earth. I
- 1:46:15have thirty years of experience as an investigative journalist. I've
- 1:46:18broken major scandals going out to try and map how
- 1:46:21the world really worked as opposed.
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: To the way we were told it worked.
- 1:46:25Speaker 7: Our map has proved deadly accurate my economic prediction.
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: So we had it so right.
- 1:46:31Speaker 7: In two thousand and six, we said, get out of
- 1:46:33debt right now. Check your mortgage carefully. We issued a
- 1:46:36whole series of warnings.
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: There will be nothing like.
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: That's January two. Thus we said, what's.
- 1:46:43Speaker 7: Gonna happen is taking place right now, Gold prices, Pakistan, Afghanistan,
- 1:46:48the stock market. It's not that Bernie Madoff was a
- 1:46:51pyramid scheme. The whole economy is a pyramid scheme. Of course,
- 1:46:57I've been called a conspiracy theorist, but I don't deal
- 1:47:00in conspiracy theory. I deal in conspiracy fact. The mortal
- 1:47:05blow to human industrialized civilization will happen when oil price
- 1:47:09is spike and nobody can afford to buy that, or
- 1:47:11and everything will just shut down. Unlike the Great Depression,
- 1:47:18we do not have infinite resources. Nothing grows forever. There
- 1:47:22is a cycle birth, growth, maturation, decline, and death. Cars
- 1:47:29don't run, mail stops getting delivered, planes don't fly, law
- 1:47:32enforcement stops working.
- 1:47:34Speaker 2: This is all part of the collapse.
- 1:47:37Speaker 7: If you're in a camp and a bear attax, you
- 1:47:39don't have to be faster than the bear. You only
- 1:47:43have to be faster than the slowest camper. The challenge
- 1:47:47being faced by the human race now is either revolver
- 1:47:49or parish, grow.
- 1:47:50Speaker 2: Up or die.
- 1:47:53Speaker 7: You have to believe, not hope, not praying, that there's
- 1:47:57a way out.
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: Of it and you're going to find it. Did the
- 1:48:02whole documentary just this dude sitting there freaking you out
- 1:48:06there there?
- 1:48:06Speaker 3: It's like, uh, Mexico's Mexico's UFOs, or it has always
- 1:48:10been like Mexico's big Foot CIA, like there have been
- 1:48:16Mine would have been the I think was he was
- 1:48:18a writer in the seventh sixties, seventies, he was he
- 1:48:21would talk about the CIA and he got shot.
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: There.
- 1:48:26Speaker 3: Recently like recently, in the past ten years, a bunch
- 1:48:29of CIA documents have come out of Mexican presidents being
- 1:48:32on the payroll by the CIA from like all the
- 1:48:36like all the Cold War era presidents were like CIA
- 1:48:39agents on the payroll. So Mexico has this vision of
- 1:48:45the CIA and its rus the US's responsibility for some
- 1:48:48of the things that are going on down there. They're
- 1:48:50very different than the US's perception of responsibilities.
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: It's probably more accurate. I mean, it's direct.
- 1:48:57Speaker 3: It was shocking to me when we were there at Kiki,
- 1:49:00coming in that house where he was kept and I
- 1:49:02think tortured and finally killed. That the people around there
- 1:49:06that have lived there when it happened, some of them
- 1:49:10would call that the CIA house. So that was that
- 1:49:13was a weird thing to see. And maybe they've been
- 1:49:15kind of like polluted by all the all the stuff
- 1:49:17they've been looking at or seeing after that happened. But
- 1:49:20or maybe they're just being accurate, and maybe they're just
- 1:49:22being accurate. Let's say this, and again realm of theory,
- 1:49:28you have the United States dealing with Mexico and nine
- 1:49:33to eleven happens, and then you're worried about things going
- 1:49:36through the border like a nuke, you know. Apparently, do
- 1:49:41you entrust the Mexican government to keep that border safe
- 1:49:44and tell you if anything goes through that border, or
- 1:49:46you talk to the cartels that actually own that border.
- 1:49:51Who do you talk to?
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: You have to talk to the cartels.
- 1:49:55Speaker 3: So I think there's there's always been a backdoor channel
- 1:49:58communication there going on, or direct communication going on of
- 1:50:01some sort, which only makes sense, Yeah, and also makes
- 1:50:07I wonder how much of.
- 1:50:07Speaker 2: An influence it has in our drug laws. The because
- 1:50:13sensible drug laws would treat all drugs the same way
- 1:50:17we treat alcohol. Yeah, sensible because alcohol is a drug,
- 1:50:20and we know that when we had a prohibition would
- 1:50:22lasted for how many years, like thirteen years in this country,
- 1:50:26it did nothing but prop up organized crime. Yeah, and.
- 1:50:31Speaker 3: Last time I came here, I was on my way
- 1:50:33to becoming alcohol sober. So alcohol is a very dangerous drug.
- 1:50:39You can kill yourself with it very easily. You could
- 1:50:41buy a bottle that will kill you. Yep, and any store,
- 1:50:44any store. I had to lock myself in a fucking ranch.
- 1:50:47I did an old school. Just fucking long. How long
- 1:50:50did it take my whole life? It's going to take.
- 1:50:54I think I'm always going to be I like to
- 1:50:56think about it, you know sometimes. But I've been soilber
- 1:51:00about four years now.
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: Congratulation, thank you, that's awesome. But it's hard to do.
- 1:51:05It is not easy. I don't have the addiction gene,
- 1:51:10the physical addiction gene. I don't know why, but like,
- 1:51:14even I chew on these nicotine pouches all the time.
- 1:51:17I went on vacation and I said, no nicotine. Let's
- 1:51:19see what happens. For five days, I was fine. Nothing coffee.
- 1:51:22I said, I'm gonna quit coffee. I quit coffee for
- 1:51:24five days, like no, no weirdness.
- 1:51:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I think for me it was medication when I
- 1:51:32got out, when I got out of work, I had
- 1:51:36loads of PDAs either. First time I was on the
- 1:51:38podcast and we talked a little bit about it, and
- 1:51:40then afterwards you like gave me some names of some
- 1:51:42people that should talk to, and I did. I went
- 1:51:44out and looked out for help. Eventually I just got sober.
- 1:51:47But it's insane to me how differently alcohol gets treated
- 1:51:51versus all substance. It's one of the only ones that
- 1:51:54if you get off it too quick, you'll die, yes,
- 1:51:57which I did you get real close to that?
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: I had to my heart. I started feeling my heart
- 1:52:03do Shito, Did you think, Wow, I just have a
- 1:52:05little drinking pooh and get back on track and do
- 1:52:08this slowly, a slow trip.
- 1:52:11Speaker 3: When when I left the studio the last time, you're
- 1:52:15still in la. My marriage ended around that same time,
- 1:52:21you know, and I had a few things going on.
- 1:52:25PTSD and trying to figure things out and drinking myself
- 1:52:30to sleep every third day because it's the only way
- 1:52:32I can go through a sleepless through a dreamless night
- 1:52:37was unsustainable. So my life was falling apart, and I
- 1:52:42had to like do something. I had a friend who
- 1:52:45owns a big ranch and had a cabin that I
- 1:52:48could stay in.
- 1:52:49Speaker 2: He said, hey, you can stay here.
- 1:52:51Speaker 3: How long did it take to I got there? And
- 1:52:53I didn't want to feel like a freeloader. So I
- 1:52:56got there and I gave them. They had a little
- 1:52:58small community school there for the kids, so I brought
- 1:53:01a TV and like DVDs and like.
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: Gave him all this stuff. Okay, can stay here.
- 1:53:06Speaker 3: He sat, He stood me in front of everybody and said,
- 1:53:08this guy's an alcoholic. If I catch anybody, give him
- 1:53:11an alcohol, or if you see him give him an alcohol.
- 1:53:12Speaker 2: You're out embarrassed me, Like I felt like shit, but
- 1:53:19it gave me what I needed. Third night.
- 1:53:24Speaker 3: Shakes and sweats, wild dreams. I think I'd pissed myself,
- 1:53:31but it was a sweat. Then I started getting my
- 1:53:35start chess fans and shit like that going on. And
- 1:53:39I think it took me about two weeks I think
- 1:53:44to really like be you know, on the level, it's
- 1:53:49don't do it that way. It's a stupid way of
- 1:53:50doing it. You'll almost die eventually.
- 1:53:53Speaker 2: I got some people do. Yeah, I think that's how
- 1:53:56Amy Winehouse died. Yes, that's probably yeah, Yeah, that's what.
- 1:54:01Isn't that the case, Jamie? Don't they think that Amy
- 1:54:03Winehouse died from complications of alcoholism of trying to get sober?
- 1:54:08Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, it is you feel it whatever people
- 1:54:13often say, like feel I feel like I'm dying. Like no,
- 1:54:16that feels like you're dying, like you like somebody's sitting
- 1:54:19on your chest and you can't get up, and also
- 1:54:23your brain is screaming for something that it can't get right.
- 1:54:28Speaker 2: I alcohol poisoning after binge drinking following a period of abstinence,
- 1:54:34oh even worse. Yeah.
- 1:54:39Speaker 3: Eventually, eventually I started speaking about it, but I was
- 1:54:42embarrassed about it, and I started writing about it and
- 1:54:44publishing on my on my Instagram account just like my
- 1:54:47experience with it, and I got a lot of help
- 1:54:51from a lot of people.
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: Did you ever do I a game? Yeah? Yeah, it
- 1:54:59did things.
- 1:55:00Speaker 3: It opened up a few warm cancer worms of the
- 1:55:03past in me, but it yeah, it helped.
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: I had the one thing that I hear over and
- 1:55:12over again for people that do suffer from PTSD and
- 1:55:15people that do suffer from addiction, I Begain's the one.
- 1:55:19It It's like a weird conversation.
- 1:55:24Speaker 3: It's like a it's like you've avoided these very specific
- 1:55:28things for decades and now there's no way of avoiding
- 1:55:33them in there there.
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: And it's like, you know, I don't know, I don't think,
- 1:55:39I don't want to it.
- 1:55:43Speaker 3: It led me on a path and it specifically opened
- 1:55:47up a bunch of doors for me in the realm
- 1:55:49of you know, you know, I'm the cartel guy and
- 1:55:53like I used to do this and that's what I
- 1:55:54do when I train people on that. But then some
- 1:55:57gott guy going through alcohol sobriety in public you know,
- 1:56:01I had Randy blythe the lead singer of Lamb of God,
- 1:56:04reach out out of nowhere, this random.
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: Guy that I used to listen to when I was working,
- 1:56:09you know, my head vote.
- 1:56:11Speaker 3: He's like, hey, yeah, yeah, he's speaking him out here.
- 1:56:14If you do you have a sponsors Like, I never
- 1:56:17went to AA. I just fucking locked myself in a room.
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: Stupid for doing that. But he like, I'll be your sponsor.
- 1:56:24He's so oh wow, So he started, how fucking cool
- 1:56:27is that? I'm still a sponsor?
- 1:56:32Speaker 3: He is, I don't know, he's a He's an amazing guy.
- 1:56:36Like that's why I call it when I'm close mm hmm.
- 1:56:41But I yes, it is insane to think about the
- 1:56:45fact that the bottle of a bottle of liquor you
- 1:56:48can buy.
- 1:56:48Speaker 2: The story kill you. Well, you have to shows your ID. Well,
- 1:56:53it's the problem of addiction, you know. This is this,
- 1:56:57this is the actual fuel that runs the cartel. Is
- 1:57:03there's a giant problem in the United States of people
- 1:57:07and this appetite for illegal narcotics. Yes, and this pretending
- 1:57:14that people aren't doing these drugs, and like the pretending
- 1:57:17that making them illegal is going to stop this. No,
- 1:57:19all you're doing is propping up the cartel. That's all
- 1:57:22you're doing is funding the cartel and then also helping
- 1:57:27the alcohol lobbyists in this in this country.
- 1:57:30Speaker 3: Yeah, the you know, the perfect storm was the outbreak
- 1:57:36of the prescription opioid epidemic in the in the in
- 1:57:39this country. That was like this initiation of what later
- 1:57:44turned into like, oh well, this is off the table
- 1:57:46now because we passed all these laws and didn't put
- 1:57:49some people in jail that should have that should make prison,
- 1:57:51some families that I don't know how they're free.
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: But then what takes its place.
- 1:57:57Speaker 3: Somewhere in Mexico, people were growing poppies and they said,
- 1:58:01let's add a little bit of fentatl into these very
- 1:58:05weak poppy yields of heroin and see what it does.
- 1:58:09Speaker 2: And it kicked. Oh so that was the source of it,
- 1:58:12that the heroin was weak.
- 1:58:14Speaker 3: These these hillsides have been leached for years from growing
- 1:58:18weed on them.
- 1:58:20Speaker 2: Oh so the top soil was bad. Let's they were
- 1:58:23doing monocrop agriculture with drugs. So like, oh my god,
- 1:58:26industrial monocrop agriculture with drugs led to fentanel being introduced
- 1:58:31into them to make it more potent. Wow.
- 1:58:34Speaker 3: And then also weed legalization in parts like California led
- 1:58:38to interesting phenomenons. Some of these fields were no longer profitable,
- 1:58:44so they would switch to poppy. And one thing that
- 1:58:49people don't realize is that a lot of these things
- 1:58:51get tested out first in the markets in Mexico. Mexico
- 1:58:53has giant drug markets and that are fought over and
- 1:58:57people will try this, you know, try this.
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: Oh boy, it's like trial samples that they hand out
- 1:59:04the supermarket.
- 1:59:06Speaker 3: Oh no, So, at some point in the past, somebody
- 1:59:10down in Jalisco probably tried the first load of Mexican
- 1:59:15fentomally loaded heroin. Somebody somewhere out there probably did the
- 1:59:19first head and was like, holy shit, winter.
- 1:59:22Speaker 2: Here or died immediately, or I said, hey, that's a
- 1:59:24little too potent because the amount of fencanel that you
- 1:59:27need to kill somebody so small. Yeah. Put it was
- 1:59:29a hit here, though it was a giant hit here
- 1:59:32in the US. And then is it as big a
- 1:59:35problem in Mexico as it is in the United States.
- 1:59:37Speaker 3: No, The reason is the reason is wild though it's
- 1:59:41not because Mexico cracks down a fentanyl.
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: There's no fentyl on the streets.
- 1:59:46Speaker 3: It's because the cartel's down there will kill you if
- 1:59:48they catch you selling that shit local wow, because this
- 1:59:52poison is meant to export. Who if the cartels catch
- 1:59:58you selling any thing that isn't from them or ventanyl
- 2:00:02in certain areas, they'll kill you. So that's the that's
- 2:00:06the best. That's the Mexican DARE.
- 2:00:07Speaker 2: Program is so crazy, like they know it's bad. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:00:13well the other they know.
- 2:00:13Speaker 3: And you see some of these cartels publicly claim like, ah,
- 2:00:17we don't to heal in this ventanyl thing.
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: This is not us. Ventoyl as a whole.
- 2:00:22Speaker 3: I think in the US is kind of down, and
- 2:00:25I know I know that not all of it or
- 2:00:28not most of it is now coming from Mexico. I
- 2:00:30mean you'll you'll get pill shipments of fentanyl pills coming
- 2:00:35from Mexico, a lot of a lot of those. But
- 2:00:38you also get fentanyl from in the mail all over
- 2:00:41the US. There's a there's a loophole that is finally
- 2:00:46being closed about exporting things into the United States. So
- 2:00:49if they're below eight hundred dollars or something like that,
- 2:00:51they don't get the full scan. So I know for
- 2:00:54a fact there are cartels or groups of people in
- 2:00:58the United States organizing shipping things to the United States
- 2:01:01that have fentanel in them, and they started loading and
- 2:01:03they're selling fentinally loaded substances into the US without any
- 2:01:09sort of cartel in Mexican involvement.
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: That is also happening in the US. And the precursors
- 2:01:15for this stuff all come from China, correct.
- 2:01:17Speaker 3: They all come from China. And this is an my observation.
- 2:01:23Speaker 2: I guess.
- 2:01:25Speaker 3: When COVID hit, these precursors started getting really rare for
- 2:01:29some of these organizations. Specifically seen a lower cartel was
- 2:01:32actually getting their fentanyl in the US from some of
- 2:01:35the last shipments that they were receiving in the ports
- 2:01:37in the US because the US kept the ports open
- 2:01:39for a bit longer. So you had cases of people
- 2:01:44cartel members getting caught with fentanyl smuggling into Mexico because
- 2:01:49they didn't get their regular supply from China from the
- 2:01:51regular ports, and that's what they were utilizing to infuse
- 2:01:55the drugs that they would send over to the US.
- 2:01:58But the one that didn't have any of those istions
- 2:02:00is with the new generation cartel because they own a
- 2:02:05lot of the ports on both sides of the country.
- 2:02:08And also they've always had I don't know this. I
- 2:02:13don't want to say that the People's Republic of China
- 2:02:15purposely has been sending fentanyl or has been turning a
- 2:02:18blind eye to all this phenomenon as a way.
- 2:02:20Speaker 2: To fuck with the US. It's probably the case, though, Yeah,
- 2:02:25it's probably the case. Well, it seems like that would
- 2:02:27be a good move if you want to d stabilize
- 2:02:30a country. How would you get hundreds of thousands of
- 2:02:32people hooked on this terrible drug?
- 2:02:34Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean they're all They're all over the
- 2:02:37illegal weed trade in the US as well right now,
- 2:02:42hundreds of them. I saw on the border crossing in
- 2:02:46single file.
- 2:02:46Speaker 2: I was watching some video that some guy made about
- 2:02:50Maine about there's this town in Maine, but there's all
- 2:02:53this Chinese nationals living there and they've taken over weed
- 2:02:56operations in Maine. It's wow.
- 2:03:02Speaker 3: When we talked about Vietnam, I think Mexico is a
- 2:03:05weird Vietnam in a lot of ways because you see
- 2:03:09foreign influences in Mexico in different ways. The current administration
- 2:03:14is very close with Venezuela and Cuba, which are enemies
- 2:03:17of the United States. You know, they're pretty friendly with them.
- 2:03:21So that's one influence in the country.
- 2:03:24Speaker 2: All of these.
- 2:03:24Speaker 3: Precursors and supplies, and all of these involved Chinese chemist,
- 2:03:30industrialist individuals. A lot of the cartels were basically hiding
- 2:03:34their money through Chinese banking institutions. That's the way you
- 2:03:37hide money from the US. You know, you put it,
- 2:03:40you take it to a Chinese money broker, he puts
- 2:03:43it in the Chinese banking institution. You go to Mexico,
- 2:03:45you have a shell company down there or a real
- 2:03:47company down there, and then you hire investments with that
- 2:03:50Chinese company. Now you have legitimate money just transferring from
- 2:03:53one end to the other, and nobody the wiser. So
- 2:03:57Mexico is a war, is a war field or a battle.
- 2:04:02A battle is being played out in Mexico that has
- 2:04:04a lot to do with the United States and affecting
- 2:04:06the interests of the United States. And China is clearly
- 2:04:10not the US's friend in this battle. Probably and things
- 2:04:15have changed, the dynamics have changed, but you can clearly
- 2:04:18see that at some point the people in China, and
- 2:04:26when it's I've heard people say that the largest intelligence
- 2:04:31intelligence organization in the world. Is this Chinese popular the
- 2:04:36Chinese government because everybody in China is part of the
- 2:04:38intelligence operatus basically, So it's hard for me to believe
- 2:04:43that all these industrialists and all of these chemists come
- 2:04:46to Mexico and show these cartel members out of cook manufacture, make,
- 2:04:52or actually fabricate like they've been fabricating fentyl in Mexico.
- 2:04:57There have been a few laboratories found in Mexico where
- 2:04:59they're actually make ventral in Mexico. This is very common now.
- 2:05:03But they learn their trade craft and skill craft from
- 2:05:05people from China. How can the Chinese government have these
- 2:05:08people moving in in and out of the country and
- 2:05:10showing these things back and forth and not like, oh,
- 2:05:12we don't know anything about this.
- 2:05:13Speaker 2: Right, they're probably directed to do it. I don't know. Look,
- 2:05:17it makes sense. It makes sense. You know. There's so
- 2:05:19many countries that are involved in destabilizing America, just like
- 2:05:23we're involved in destabilizing other countries. There's a whack a
- 2:05:26mole game that's going on all over the world.
- 2:05:30Speaker 3: There in that Aura, which has talked about a lot
- 2:05:32here in the US, This Venezuelan gangs they're operating in
- 2:05:36Central Mexico openly. Now there's power vacuums all over the
- 2:05:40country where all these cartel guys are getting hit and
- 2:05:42people are The age of the large organizations is probably
- 2:05:47coming to an end. Scene the laws and the scene
- 2:05:50low cartel doesn't exist anymore. There's smaller factions basically in control,
- 2:05:53which is allowing things to come in there. In that
- 2:05:56Iura are the Venezuelan gangs that are operating in a
- 2:05:59way where the Mexican government hasn't hadn't dealt with that.
- 2:06:03It's more like a localized gang shit, you know, Camora,
- 2:06:09like Italian mafia type dealings that they have so there there,
- 2:06:14which is like old school Mexican cartels used to do.
- 2:06:17Speaker 2: So now they're having to de evolve.
- 2:06:19Speaker 3: What I mentioned this, I talked to some people who
- 2:06:23are actively working against that federally in Mexico, and then
- 2:06:27all of a sudden we hear these mentions of Maduro,
- 2:06:30the president of Venezuela, being placed on that fifty million
- 2:06:35I think, offering for his head and he's basically now
- 2:06:38the head of the giant cartel. Which is it an
- 2:06:41interesting narrative that the US is putting out there?
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: Is that real? I don't know.
- 2:06:46Speaker 3: You see, you see a lot of these Venezuela and
- 2:06:49they're the wh people having clear like knowledge and skills,
- 2:06:55you know, and training. And then they're operating in Mexico
- 2:07:00clearly with some sort of command or directive structure that
- 2:07:04is in clear like No, there's no like who's the
- 2:07:05head of the trend that I walk Cartel's nobody's gonna
- 2:07:09tell you. They don't know, you know, who's supplying them,
- 2:07:12who's sending them, who's sending them out, who's controlling them,
- 2:07:17who's organizing what, And it's it's it's like a destabilizing
- 2:07:21thing element. I think, you know, it's interesting that he
- 2:07:26that when we hear this new mention of uh we
- 2:07:30authorized military actions in South America, they don't say Mexico specifically,
- 2:07:34they say to South America, and a very big thing
- 2:07:37that comes up as Venezuela and Mexico. I think this,
- 2:07:42I think whatever the US is attempting is beyond cartel
- 2:07:45and drugs, and this is about regional stability, you know,
- 2:07:49and security. Mexico's industrial plant is the most valuable resource
- 2:07:56on the planet right now. I think moving into the future,
- 2:07:58it's poised to be the next China and the US
- 2:08:03sees this and what does the US need more than.
- 2:08:07Speaker 2: Anything right now? An industrial plan?
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: Right?
- 2:08:10Speaker 2: And where is it going to get? Mexico and Maduro
- 2:08:16is just the first time where there's been a gigantic
- 2:08:20bounty on a president of a South American country in
- 2:08:23our lifetime.
- 2:08:25Speaker 3: I think I don't remember anybody else with one of those.
- 2:08:28Speaker 2: But it's barely making the news. But it's it's wild.
- 2:08:31He's it's wild. He's the president of a country, the
- 2:08:34president offering fifty million dollars for his capture.
- 2:08:37Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's he's on the TV screaming, he's has
- 2:08:40these daily.
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: How does he keep from geting kidnapped? I have no idea.
- 2:08:44Speaker 3: They've tried to kill him. They try to blow him
- 2:08:46up with the drone ones.
- 2:08:49Speaker 2: They try to imagine, like for fifty mili, like some
- 2:08:52figure out your figure, high level guys might snatch him up. Yeah,
- 2:08:55I don't know.
- 2:08:55Speaker 3: I don't know how that works as far as a
- 2:08:57bounty on him, But he's he's worried. Mobilized militia forcees
- 2:09:02all over the country. There was three years ago, five
- 2:09:04years ago, a bunch of Americans were apparently hired by
- 2:09:07these private institution, private groups to go and try and
- 2:09:10liberate Venezuela, and they all got caught by fishermen on
- 2:09:13the coast.
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: I think I caught by fishermen.
- 2:09:16Speaker 3: There were some fishermen on the coasts that were like, Hey,
- 2:09:17what are these guys doing here fucking with the fifty
- 2:09:20kel on top of a pickup truck? And I think
- 2:09:22they were they were there, they were they were grabbed
- 2:09:24and they were put on media and like, oh, these
- 2:09:27guys are all people. They I think one of them
- 2:09:29did security for a Trump event, so they put it
- 2:09:31all on. Trump organized this. I don't know the whole
- 2:09:35of the details. This is like a little bit out
- 2:09:37of my wheelhouse. But what I've heard is that a
- 2:09:39lot of that money actually came from Cuban intelligence people
- 2:09:42who were just trying to orchestrate an embarrassing moment for
- 2:09:44the US by paying all these mercenaries war American to
- 2:09:49try and liberate Venezuela and just catching them. I think
- 2:09:52that's something like that's happened. There's a lot of gold
- 2:09:56coming out of that country. It has a lot of gold.
- 2:09:59There's a lot of shady things coming in and out
- 2:10:01of that country. Any country that is outside of the
- 2:10:03scope of friends of the United States. Is a country
- 2:10:05where shady shit can.
- 2:10:06Speaker 2: Have Jamie, what is the official reason why they have
- 2:10:09a bounty of maduro.
- 2:10:11Speaker 5: A cocaine smuggling operation is allowing or responsible for and
- 2:10:17Mexico President says they don't have any evidence of that.
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:10:20Speaker 3: See, and it's it's like, you don't have any evidence
- 2:10:24of that. But there's a bunch of Invela as well,
- 2:10:26and organizations in Mexico trying that you're fighting.
- 2:10:29Speaker 2: Again, you know, that are clearly involved in smuggling.
- 2:10:33Speaker 3: Yeah, and they clearly have some sort of free movement
- 2:10:36between Venezuela and Mexico.
- 2:10:41Speaker 2: What's going on going on?
- 2:10:44Speaker 3: But uh oh, I think we're we're headed for something.
- 2:10:50Last time I was here, I said, in five years,
- 2:10:52we're going to see some sort of direct military intervention
- 2:10:55in Mexico, which has already happened. I think with the
- 2:10:57rest of them. Miles Sambala, I kind of called the
- 2:10:59whole terrorist designation thing. I said, I didn't I think
- 2:11:02I didn't think he was going to do it on
- 2:11:03his first term, but the second one, and he skipped
- 2:11:07he skipped a term and then we had we had
- 2:11:10some time, and then he came back with a force.
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: What do you think would have happened if he didn't
- 2:11:14win with who didn't want? If Trump didn't win, the
- 2:11:17border stayed wide open.
- 2:11:19Speaker 3: Oh I'm an immigrant, Joe, and I've seen that side
- 2:11:30of policy in the US and how it's affected the
- 2:11:34community and generally the people. But on the other end,
- 2:11:39I also experienced Biden and the open bors.
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: Policy and the amounts of.
- 2:11:45Speaker 3: Horrible ship that I saw on that border and people
- 2:11:49being a bunch of kids that went missing or kids
- 2:11:52that were like, what's going on with all these kids?
- 2:11:54And why did they have armbands? And and all these
- 2:11:58human tramps. Yeah, all these migrant camps being set up
- 2:12:02on the border, and.
- 2:12:03Speaker 2: Which generally good people don't want to believe that human
- 2:12:07trafficking is a real business. It is. The child trafficking,
- 2:12:11it's a real business. It is a real business, and
- 2:12:13it is a big business.
- 2:12:14Speaker 3: And most of anything related to sex traffic and specifically
- 2:12:18related to children.
- 2:12:19Speaker 2: What part of the world do you think is the
- 2:12:21largest market for it?
- 2:12:22Speaker 1: Is?
- 2:12:23Speaker 2: The United States. They're always catching people too. They catch
- 2:12:30people and you're like, how many have they not caught? Yeah,
- 2:12:33you know, whenever they catch some new guy that's in trouble.
- 2:12:37Speaker 3: The phenomenon, the phenomenon that's going on that I don't
- 2:12:40see a lot of people talk about, is that the
- 2:12:42fact that you know, a lot of Americans who are
- 2:12:44into this moved to Mexico, and in Mexico was harder
- 2:12:47to find some of these people. So a lot of
- 2:12:49it in some of these x BOT community places, there
- 2:12:52are people hiding out who are pedilows and they don't
- 2:12:55no longer have to figure out stuff in the US,
- 2:12:59so they're moving down there and they're doing some of
- 2:13:00that down there. Trafficking of children, the sales of children,
- 2:13:07child theft, kidnappings are common in Mexico, very common in Mexico,
- 2:13:14and it's not something that you hear a lot about,
- 2:13:18but masses of people and children being moved up into
- 2:13:21the border have had some sort of organized effort with
- 2:13:26them to like help that out. You know, if you're
- 2:13:29a cartel member and you're on the board and all
- 2:13:31of a sudden you see fourteen kids that are all asleep,
- 2:13:37They're like, what the why are these kids like asleep? Oh,
- 2:13:40they're tired from the trip. I mean I have a kid,
- 2:13:45you know, she's like I stop at a Starbucks and
- 2:13:48she wakes up, like, where are you getting right?
- 2:13:50Speaker 2: Right?
- 2:13:51Speaker 3: All these kids are like a sleep, They're drugged. So
- 2:13:53they carry them drugged up into the all the way
- 2:13:56up to the border. This is this is Biden era.
- 2:14:00So they would drug all these these these these kids
- 2:14:03to not make them interact with anybody that might ask
- 2:14:08them any questions.
- 2:14:09Speaker 2: Basically, they put.
- 2:14:11Speaker 3: An armlan on them, and they had some sort of
- 2:14:13organized effort on the US side to receive them and
- 2:14:18put them wherever they need to be.
- 2:14:21Speaker 2: All that was shady. All that was really shady. I'm
- 2:14:25not I don't know. I don't know what happens on
- 2:14:29this side. I don't know what happens on this side.
- 2:14:31Speaker 1: I know that.
- 2:14:34Speaker 3: As an immigrant myself, I know that this administration is
- 2:14:39specifically in this part of its and this history and
- 2:14:42what's happening right now is there's a lot of stress
- 2:14:45and fear. You know, I I I see the I
- 2:14:50see the effects of it and in in different industries, uh,
- 2:14:53from agricultural to culture to just this general anxiety that
- 2:14:59is that is a that is felt across the country
- 2:15:01by people of my color skin that look Mexican or
- 2:15:04are Mexican you know. But I also am not blind
- 2:15:07to or not stupid enough to see and compare it
- 2:15:10to the pasted administration and some of the shit that
- 2:15:12went on there.
- 2:15:13Speaker 2: That's the problem is that it's an over correction. The
- 2:15:16problem is when you have an open border and you
- 2:15:19do know that cartail members are just freely going across,
- 2:15:22and you do have human trafficking and you want to
- 2:15:24stop it. Then you want to get everybody out that
- 2:15:28came in during the last four years. So now you
- 2:15:30have twenty million people you have to account for. And
- 2:15:34the problem is some of them are good people. Some
- 2:15:36of them are not gang members. Most of them are
- 2:15:39just people that wanted a better life most of them.
- 2:15:41But they have mandates now, and mandates get creepy because
- 2:15:45then people become numbers. And if you say we got
- 2:15:47to get rid of x amount every day, and then
- 2:15:50you just show up at home depot and you get
- 2:15:52some hard working guy with a family who just wants
- 2:15:54to like do some roofing jobs.
- 2:15:57Speaker 3: You know, Dudes selling flowers, yeah, lady selling fruit in cups.
- 2:16:03Speaker 2: And then there's this pushback on amnesty. People have this
- 2:16:06crazy pushback, like if someone's been here for twenty years.
- 2:16:10They've been working on a farm, and they're good people
- 2:16:12and they've established a family. Here, let's figure out a
- 2:16:15pathway to amnesty. And then there's the hard right pushback.
- 2:16:18They're like, fuck you, you got here illegally, Get the
- 2:16:21fuck out. It's like, those are jobs Americans could do.
- 2:16:23It's like, I mean, well, first of all, my take
- 2:16:28on that is if you're using illegal labor at the
- 2:16:34very at the bottom line, what you're doing is not
- 2:16:38paying people what they should be paid.
- 2:16:39Speaker 3: Illegal immigration is illegal because people wanted to remain the
- 2:16:43side because they need that cheap labor.
- 2:16:46Speaker 2: That's another addiction. Someone explained that to me that he
- 2:16:49was having a conversation with this extremely wealthy guy who
- 2:16:53was upset at the crackdown on the border because they
- 2:16:57need illegal workers. It's a part of their business model
- 2:17:01because you don't have to pay them any benefits. You
- 2:17:04don't have to pay them whatever. They're off the books. Yeah, exactly,
- 2:17:08and they can't complain if they do, yeah, which is
- 2:17:12that's not good. You shouldn't have that, So they should
- 2:17:17find out first of all, forget about whether or not
- 2:17:19someone's illegal or not, Like, what are you paying them?
- 2:17:22You should have like a detailed record of how much
- 2:17:24everybody who works for you gets paid. And if there's
- 2:17:26a bunch of people that are working for you that
- 2:17:28aren't on record, what's going on? Yeah, why you have
- 2:17:31this enormous corporation that relies on illegal labor.
- 2:17:35Speaker 3: There there are legal means of coming up to the
- 2:17:38US and migrating or as a worker, but it's it's.
- 2:17:42Speaker 2: Hard, that's the problem. If you're poor. If you're poor,
- 2:17:45it's almost impossible. I have good friends that have immigrated
- 2:17:48to the United States, and they have to prove that
- 2:17:50their job is something that can't be done by an
- 2:17:53American or that they're exceptional at their job.
- 2:17:57Speaker 3: When I went through my immigration process, I had my
- 2:17:59wife I've known since I was sixteen next to me
- 2:18:03and my daughter, and they didn't believe that our marriage
- 2:18:08was real.
- 2:18:09Speaker 2: Jeez.
- 2:18:10Speaker 3: So I did it legally and I had all of
- 2:18:13the things that I needed to have to have that
- 2:18:17immigration to go through, and it was the most difficult
- 2:18:20process that I've ever gone through. And I can't imagine
- 2:18:24other people that have.
- 2:18:27Speaker 2: I don't know, how about they don't speak English, right,
- 2:18:29how about they have no money?
- 2:18:31Speaker 3: But there are quotas for other countries. Like I remember
- 2:18:34when I got mine, there was like a Nigerian dude
- 2:18:36that couldn't speak English and he got it and I
- 2:18:39got like, we need more information.
- 2:18:41Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:18:43Speaker 3: And that's another aspect of it again, somebody brown in
- 2:18:47this country that is an immigrant.
- 2:18:49Speaker 2: Meanwhile, it's the foundation of most cities. I mean, they're crazy.
- 2:18:53I'll just ever see that documentary A Day without Mexicans. Yeah,
- 2:18:56the fucking whole country shuts down, especially La.
- 2:19:00Speaker 3: I mean, uh, the California fires and all the houses
- 2:19:03that we've gotten out, Like who people in construction?
- 2:19:05Speaker 2: You go to some of these work sites, yeah, you
- 2:19:10could liken. It goes with that, yeah, exactly.
- 2:19:14Speaker 3: And it's it's it's been wild seeing that and the
- 2:19:19effects that it has had on just general on the
- 2:19:25on the Mexican side is fear and anger and like
- 2:19:29more anti American feelings, you know, and also this new
- 2:19:35arrival of these Americans. Because think about this, and I
- 2:19:39have a friend that I that I sometimes help out
- 2:19:42in in places like Ijuana where we recent deportees show
- 2:19:47up in Tijuana and.
- 2:19:48Speaker 2: There's a lot of them right now.
- 2:19:50Speaker 3: Imagine you live in the US from when you're two
- 2:19:55years old all the way your thirties and then they
- 2:19:58tell you right, and then you're now you're in a
- 2:20:01shanty town in Tijuana.
- 2:20:03Speaker 2: Crazy, So that doesn't make anything that's immoral.
- 2:20:06Speaker 3: Speaking the clearest English, like somehow they pay taxes for
- 2:20:10all this period, So like I got look, I paid
- 2:20:13my taxes and I and some of them have careers,
- 2:20:15some of them have families.
- 2:20:18Speaker 2: Is the kind of ship that drives me nuts. That's
- 2:20:20that's insane, Like they should be grandfathered in. You should
- 2:20:23figure out a way, like if someone came over here
- 2:20:25when they're two, stop, yeah, stop.
- 2:20:29Speaker 3: The the amount of people getting kind of separated, and
- 2:20:32also the the I mean they're they're not. We have
- 2:20:38we have a we have a situation right now where
- 2:20:40there's American homeless people in Tijuana asking for money.
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: Whoa right, that's one thing.
- 2:20:47Speaker 3: And we also have people that you think are American
- 2:20:50but they're actually Mexicans who are recently deported, who are
- 2:20:52living in very dire conditions and hey, you want a job.
- 2:20:57I can't speak Spanish.
- 2:20:58Speaker 2: Like dude, oh my god.
- 2:21:00Speaker 3: So it's like and this is a phenomenon happening across
- 2:21:03the border and on this side.
- 2:21:05Speaker 2: I didn't even think about people that can't speak Spanish.
- 2:21:08Some of them can't speak Spanish. I meant I met
- 2:21:11a dude that again, I think he was since he
- 2:21:13was two. He was brought across and he.
- 2:21:15Speaker 3: Found out that he he found out that he didn't
- 2:21:18have any He found out that he had any paperwork.
- 2:21:21I think at eighteen, when do some sort of process
- 2:21:23and they're like, wait, where's your Oh my god, and
- 2:21:28he got caught up I think at somewhere in LA.
- 2:21:32Speaker 2: And you know, he sent down this this h this
- 2:21:37perception that it's all criminals is no, no, well they're
- 2:21:41saying it's all criminals because if you come here illegally,
- 2:21:43it's a crime. Okay, so it was a two year
- 2:21:45old criminal, two year old hard and criminal and it's diaper. Yeah,
- 2:21:50come on, that's fucking insane.
- 2:21:53Speaker 3: I think I think you're you're you're a spot on
- 2:21:56when you say this is an over correction. Yes, I
- 2:21:59think that is a very true statement.
- 2:22:01Speaker 2: It's also treating people like numbers, yes, and you know,
- 2:22:04and not having the resources to look at each individual case,
- 2:22:09not having enough manpower and people and also everybody loses
- 2:22:13their compassion. You just deal with it over and over
- 2:22:16and over again. You're like, enough, what's your story. That's
- 2:22:19not really your kid, that's not really your wife. You know,
- 2:22:23people they you know, they get lied to enough that
- 2:22:25they lose their humanity. Yeah, I understand that aspect of it.
- 2:22:28Speaker 3: It's horrible, but you know, this is this is We're
- 2:22:33going to live with the consequences of this, and our
- 2:22:35kids are going to live with the consequences of this.
- 2:22:37Speaker 2: Probably in the future. And when people looks karma of it, Yeah,
- 2:22:40when people look back at.
- 2:22:41Speaker 3: This, you know, the United States leaving Afghanistan as it
- 2:22:45did guaranteed that it's going to be very hard for America.
- 2:22:49Speaker 2: To find friends internationally. Now.
- 2:22:51Speaker 3: Realistically, however it deals with Mexico in the next few years,
- 2:22:57is going it's going.
- 2:22:58Speaker 2: To define this nature.
- 2:23:00Speaker 3: This is whatever's happening right now, whatever deals are being done,
- 2:23:05whatever this administration is pointing at, is going to define
- 2:23:08us or I mean, my kids are going to have
- 2:23:11to live with the results of this.
- 2:23:14Speaker 2: Yeah, what were the There was mass deportations going on
- 2:23:18during the Obama administration too. This is what a lot
- 2:23:21of people aren't aware of. The used to call them
- 2:23:22the deporter in chief.
- 2:23:24Speaker 3: And this is one thing that just makes me nuts.
- 2:23:27Because whenever I hear people up here they want to
- 2:23:31vilify just one side. I guess, yeah, you can't do that.
- 2:23:35But the trap, Yeah, that's a trap Obama. When Obama
- 2:23:38wasn't he deported a lot of people.
- 2:23:42Speaker 2: I think it was somewhere around three million people. It
- 2:23:44was like this at the work. How many people do
- 2:23:46to the Obama administration to port over the entire eight years?
- 2:23:52I think it was like three million people. Yeah, so
- 2:23:55and I and I And why why was he deporting
- 2:23:57so many people? Sure?
- 2:24:00Speaker 3: They probably had some sort of political pressure.
- 2:24:02Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
- 2:24:03Speaker 3: But the thing I point at is that within my
- 2:24:08same community, they try and point at people in politics
- 2:24:12as like, no, but he's part of the Democratic Party.
- 2:24:14He's going to help us, you know, whatever government governor
- 2:24:17it is in whatever state. Yeah, but no, he was
- 2:24:20a part of the same party that supported Obama, and
- 2:24:23Obama was doing all this.
- 2:24:26Speaker 2: Three million, three hundred and seven thousand. So what is
- 2:24:30that total on the left, Jamie?
- 2:24:32Speaker 5: Total apprehensions and then the metal number you just read
- 2:24:35it as the border US Mexico border apprehensions.
- 2:24:39Speaker 2: So those are just apprehensions or what about deportations?
- 2:24:42Speaker 6: And then remove total deportations is five million, five million,
- 2:24:47that's not just Mexico's kind of the point it's making, right,
- 2:24:51five million, Bush administration ten million. Boh Clinton administration twelve
- 2:24:56point three.
- 2:24:56Speaker 2: Wow, how many is Trump deported? Let's find that out.
- 2:25:05Speaker 3: Yeah, and the the perception of the villainy, like in
- 2:25:09the community, it's all that's it's about pointing to those
- 2:25:12are the enemy, these are our friends of these are friends.
- 2:25:14Speaker 2: What they're doing exactly right here. You know, people get
- 2:25:18so caught up in you know, it's a maga versus
- 2:25:22the Democrats, Like you're being played. Yeah, you're getting fucked
- 2:25:26no matter who's in office. The whole thing is a scam,
- 2:25:29and it's these giant corporations are laughing in your face.
- 2:25:32The whole thing has nothing to do with you. You're
- 2:25:36just a little pawn. And they use TikTok too, Yeah,
- 2:25:42they use there's so much propaganda being going on online.
- 2:25:47Speaker 3: In my mind, I always I always think about this first,
- 2:25:49like I'm I'm an immigrant, I'm new here, I'm trying
- 2:25:52to figure things out. I've seen more of the United
- 2:25:55States than most Americans. I think I'm missing Hawaii, Iowa,
- 2:25:59and Alaska. But I've been every other place. I was
- 2:26:03in a room in Tennessee watching a bunch of dudes
- 2:26:05dance with poisonous snakes.
- 2:26:07Speaker 2: At one point, Oh boy, you went to a snake
- 2:26:09handler place, beautiful experience in Mexico. America's go down in
- 2:26:14Mexico and watch bullfights. And when I was there, I
- 2:26:17was like, I'm doing exactly the same shit.
- 2:26:20Speaker 3: You guys are doing shit up. Yeah, I grew up
- 2:26:23around snakes. I used to hunt them and sell the
- 2:26:25skin to the boot makers and stuff like that.
- 2:26:27Speaker 2: So how did you get in contact with snake handlers?
- 2:26:30Speaker 3: I did a I do a lot of training across
- 2:26:33the country for police, government institutions privately, and we got
- 2:26:38a I did a medical class out in Tennessee and
- 2:26:43somebody there is like, hey, Ed, you're going like, we
- 2:26:46want to show you around, cheer you around. You want
- 2:26:48to go see a moon chine distillery. He's like Noah,
- 2:26:50Like I said, hey, are there any of these types
- 2:26:53of churches around here?
- 2:26:54Speaker 2: Are they? You know? It's so yeah, why would you
- 2:26:57want to go there? Because it's exhauting to me. Yeah,
- 2:27:01I want to go there too, I want to see. Yeah.
- 2:27:04Speaker 3: I can't tell you too much about them. We just
- 2:27:05told me to keep it low key. But when I
- 2:27:08went there, they asked me, are you Christian. It's like,
- 2:27:10I'm Catholic, so you're not Christian? Catholic it's Christian. No,
- 2:27:14according to them, it's a it's a Satanic institution. Oh
- 2:27:18but I said, okay, are you ready to accept their
- 2:27:21true words?
- 2:27:22Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 2:27:24Speaker 3: I want to see, right, baskets start kind of getting
- 2:27:31pulled out, and you know, again, I grew up around snake,
- 2:27:35so I know what a what a basket with a
- 2:27:37snake might kind of there's something in there.
- 2:27:40Speaker 2: I thought they were defanged in my mind.
- 2:27:45Speaker 3: Those things are definitely real poisonous snakes. I don't know
- 2:27:48if they give them something, so they're like chill, No.
- 2:27:50Speaker 2: They die all the time. Those guys. Yeah, one got
- 2:27:53whacked recently.
- 2:27:54Speaker 3: Yeah, but they were still like handling.
- 2:27:57Speaker 2: They're just fucking just proving their faith with the snakes. Well,
- 2:28:01if you're handling snakes all the time, they get accustomed
- 2:28:04to you handling them. Yeah, as long as you're feeding them.
- 2:28:06Speaker 3: And I was I was like, oh, it's cool, but
- 2:28:08I don't have enough faith.
- 2:28:09Speaker 2: I think. I think as long as you keep them
- 2:28:11fed and they don't feel like they're in danger. Yeah.
- 2:28:13I don't think they're gonna fuck you up. It's like
- 2:28:15when you encounter them in the wild, it's like they're
- 2:28:17just protecting themselves. They don't want to get you. Yeah.
- 2:28:20Speaker 3: But there were some pictures around of some of the
- 2:28:22people that didn't have enough faith.
- 2:28:23Speaker 2: I guess, oh I got whacked. Yeah. Did they die
- 2:28:28or they just like I think? I mean, I think
- 2:28:29they have pictures. There are people that passed. Because some
- 2:28:32people don't die, you just get horrible necrosis around the mound. Yeah.
- 2:28:37Well you need massive skin grafts and you lose like
- 2:28:39half your fucking muscle tissue in your leg. Yeah. See
- 2:28:43if you can find that article about a guy recently
- 2:28:46snake handler who got killed. Before I move on, Okay,
- 2:28:51he did his first term.
- 2:28:53Speaker 5: He did half during during his first four years, he
- 2:28:57did one point five million deportations. That's about half of
- 2:28:59the Obama's first term, which was two point nine Wow,
- 2:29:03and same about the same as Biden's term, which is
- 2:29:05one point four nine Also, and what is he at now?
- 2:29:09I mean they're only six months into the year.
- 2:29:13Speaker 2: How crazy is that? Biden deported one point five four
- 2:29:16to nine million while letting in twenty Like, what do
- 2:29:21you think they were doing? Was that a part of destabilization?
- 2:29:25I know there was also efforts to move people to
- 2:29:28specific states so that you can get a larger number
- 2:29:31for the census, so you get more congressional seats. This
- 2:29:34is a dark thing that people don't want to admit
- 2:29:36because they're a died in the world democrat. But listen,
- 2:29:39it is.
- 2:29:40Speaker 3: They don't remember who to vote for and they just
- 2:29:42get dropped that.
- 2:29:42Speaker 2: A conversation with my parents about it, and they're like no,
- 2:29:44I'm like, yes, it's about congressional seats. It's like the
- 2:29:48census counts illegals, and not only that, they're trying to
- 2:29:52make it so that those people can vote. And if
- 2:29:54you can make it so that those people could vote,
- 2:29:56then all of a sudden, you ship these people to
- 2:30:00a place, you give them E B D Cards, you
- 2:30:02get them on food stamps, you give them Medicaid money,
- 2:30:06you get you they have money, and now who are
- 2:30:09you gonna vote for? You'd have over the people who
- 2:30:11got your money, people who give you the food stamps, Like,
- 2:30:14who are gonna vote for? You can have over the
- 2:30:15people that shipped you to Springfield, Ohio. This is a
- 2:30:19good spot.
- 2:30:19Speaker 3: And why do you think that is, Like, yes, boat boats,
- 2:30:24congressional seats is one swing states, swing states, net population growth.
- 2:30:31I think there's a little of that too. Think I
- 2:30:32think there's population to collapse. There's a population that. I mean,
- 2:30:36nobody's immigrant. There's no immigrant crisis in China right now
- 2:30:40right and I think they're on their way to probably
- 2:30:42collapsing if they go through this downturn in their population.
- 2:30:47I think the US is at some points of its history,
- 2:30:49I think has been kind of close to that.
- 2:30:51Speaker 2: Japan is in the middle of it. South Korea is
- 2:30:53experiencing it.
- 2:30:54Speaker 3: And I asked because that I'm trying to find logic
- 2:30:57between deporting by the Biden administration doing that and then
- 2:31:02opening the door in that way.
- 2:31:06Speaker 2: For me, it's always been interesting how a.
- 2:31:08Speaker 3: Lot of these migrant caravans have a story or a
- 2:31:10narrative in their head all the way from where they
- 2:31:13where they're coming from up into the US.
- 2:31:15Speaker 2: So, like.
- 2:31:18Speaker 3: Sean Ryan was here a while ago, and I think
- 2:31:20you mentioned that we we actually went I took him
- 2:31:23down to TJ to one of these migrant caravans that
- 2:31:25was right on the border, and it's told a sewn.
- 2:31:29You want to talk to somebody's people. Sure, And he
- 2:31:31got a kick out of the fact that in the
- 2:31:33middle of this camp there was a giant Biden flag flying.
- 2:31:39But that wasn't That wasn't the funniest thing. Oh, I'll
- 2:31:42see if I could send you the picture all the
- 2:31:44all of the all of the guys that we were interviewing.
- 2:31:46This is still COVID mask era. Some of them had
- 2:31:49make America Great Again masks on. I have no idea
- 2:31:53who gave him those, but somebody with a sense of
- 2:31:55humor probably did. I have a picture of me and
- 2:31:59Sean Ryan with some with with some of the people
- 2:32:01that we interviewed, and they have the big America Great
- 2:32:03Again masks on. But they they were told by the
- 2:32:08organizers that they had a clear they had a clear
- 2:32:12uh path to the US, and then all they need
- 2:32:15to do was make a make make a lot of
- 2:32:18noise on the border, you know, make a lot of
- 2:32:21news worthy events on the border, talk to all the
- 2:32:24press they could, and somebody there was keeping tabs, and
- 2:32:27then they could go, wow, that was there the mindset
- 2:32:32that a lot of them had, which is a weird one,
- 2:32:34you know. And then some of them would talk to
- 2:32:36us about the fact that they would get aid from
- 2:32:38the U, like from Americans would come down and give them.
- 2:32:40Speaker 2: Their camps, their tents USA. Uh and uh.
- 2:32:47Speaker 3: There was a lot of dollars being handed out to
- 2:32:49pay for things. So it was all it was shady
- 2:32:53right now, Like I actually talked to three three I
- 2:32:58think they were Honduran. They just they just got to
- 2:33:01the border. Now they're they're there. Idea is to go
- 2:33:07to Europe. They have this weird sense that somebody told
- 2:33:11them somewhere down there that Europe is taking immigrants, so
- 2:33:14they're they're they're trying to make their way to Mexico.
- 2:33:16So from Mexico they want to go to Europe. They're
- 2:33:19not looking at the US anymore, which is a weird
- 2:33:23change in their narrative.
- 2:33:25Speaker 2: You see, the mass immigration in Europe is bananas. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:33:30it's really crazy. Yeah and again, but what is it about, Like,
- 2:33:37why why would someone organize this, why would someone fund this?
- 2:33:44Speaker 3: I don't know, destabilization political means maybe they want the
- 2:33:49US wants to avoid depopulation of the client.
- 2:33:52Speaker 2: So that this is one way that can backdoor it.
- 2:33:54There's probably many factors, right the political the destabilization is one,
- 2:33:59but just politically to get more congressional seats because of
- 2:34:02the way they use the census, which I think Trump
- 2:34:04is trying to change. Is he changing that? They said
- 2:34:07they weren't going to count illegals in the census anymore.
- 2:34:11I haven't heard of that?
- 2:34:12Speaker 1: Is that?
- 2:34:14Speaker 2: I mean, what kind of laws or could you do
- 2:34:17that with an executive order? Like I don't know how
- 2:34:20you would do that, I don't know. But so you
- 2:34:22have that and then you have the true need for
- 2:34:25labor that people don't which yeah.
- 2:34:29Speaker 3: Which is I mean again, I've been all over the
- 2:34:31country and every time I go into a hotel in
- 2:34:34the Oklahoma Whenos when I was, I was to the
- 2:34:39Buenos dash and eighty percent of the time like when
- 2:34:43is the s Like what part of Mexico are you from?
- 2:34:45We had this cool conversation kitchens like I've throughout.
- 2:34:50Speaker 2: New York City. Anthony Bourdain told me about that it's
- 2:34:53all his best cooks for Mexico from Puebla. Wow.
- 2:34:56Speaker 3: Well, I was in Vegas and this sushi restaurant, high
- 2:35:01level sushi restaurant.
- 2:35:02Speaker 2: Trump calls for a new US census that excludes undocumented
- 2:35:05immigrants census has historically counted all residents regardless of citizens status,
- 2:35:10as required by the fourteenth Amendment, so you can't really
- 2:35:13do that.
- 2:35:14Speaker 5: Congress has the power for the census, not the president,
- 2:35:17so he's changing something.
- 2:35:19Speaker 2: So Congress would have to agree with him on something
- 2:35:21like that, which I think politically, there might be motivation
- 2:35:25to do that because you could gain the system by
- 2:35:28administration allowing not just mass immigration, but then the moving
- 2:35:34of all these immigrants to all these areas where you
- 2:35:38wanted to take over, which is crazy, like using these
- 2:35:41people as political ploys, and then they get a fresh
- 2:35:43start in America. So it's kind of like a win win,
- 2:35:47you know, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats. Yeah.
- 2:35:56Speaker 3: Whenever I whenever I travel, I always look at people
- 2:35:58in the service industry try to see where they're from,
- 2:36:01and it's always it's always Mexican. You know, a lot
- 2:36:04of them are a mean different parts of the country.
- 2:36:06It's different, but mostly Mexicans. Uh, Minnesota, there's a lot
- 2:36:11of uh not Mexicans there, Ethiopian, Yeah, a lot of Somalians.
- 2:36:16I think there was one that was running for mayor
- 2:36:20there was recently. Yeah, was on the Young Fella Yeah, yeah,
- 2:36:25pretty radical. He looked he looked exactly like somebody that
- 2:36:28appeared in a movie where he was a captain for
- 2:36:31a moment.
- 2:36:31Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty fat.
- 2:36:33Speaker 3: But independently of that, the the amount of cultures I'm
- 2:36:38experiencing across the country. It's like, wow, this is just
- 2:36:41like the u n of countries.
- 2:36:42Speaker 2: You know, everywhere I go, I meet people from all
- 2:36:45over the world. Well, that's the part of the beauty
- 2:36:48of America. Really, the beauty of America is that it's
- 2:36:51a melting pot that's supposed to be what's cool about it,
- 2:36:54But when it's sort of weaponized in this way, when
- 2:37:00people are using it for their political gain and bringing
- 2:37:03people in for political gain and then making a person
- 2:37:06like you go through crazy hoops and ladders and all
- 2:37:10this shit to try to get in here legally, you're like, oh,
- 2:37:13you're discouraging legal immigration in favor of illegal immigration, which
- 2:37:17is really easy.
- 2:37:18Speaker 3: And I understand the part of the part of the
- 2:37:21American populace that artis like, we want to keep America America.
- 2:37:26Guess what, I want to keep America America. That's why
- 2:37:29I came up here, going to Kentucky and experiencing that
- 2:37:33in America.
- 2:37:34Speaker 2: Yeah, cool, listen, there's no more American people than Cuban Americans.
- 2:37:38Those motherfuckers are hardcore, hardcore America. You know why because
- 2:37:43they know what the fuck communism looks like. This isn't
- 2:37:46just like some theoretical shit they teach you in college.
- 2:37:49Like their grandparents and their great grammar grew up oppressed,
- 2:37:54like they had to deal with that stuff. They escaped
- 2:37:56and they came up to America and they have no
- 2:37:58tolerance for any bull shit. Well, in Mexico right now,
- 2:38:03there are things you can't say. You know.
- 2:38:05Speaker 3: There's laws that prohibit you from being violent verbally against
- 2:38:10a political figure if she's a female, and you'll have
- 2:38:13to go on TV and like read out like a
- 2:38:17whole thing apologizing for your insults. Public humuliation basically is
- 2:38:22being legalized in Mexico, and Mexico is going towards that
- 2:38:25side of things. But I'm up here and I'm seeing
- 2:38:31some of the things up here as well, you know,
- 2:38:33so like I don't I have this. I have this
- 2:38:35vision of the US where it's like cool, this is
- 2:38:39a place where I'm safe to pursue whatever happiness I
- 2:38:43think exists. I don't I didn't find that happiness in
- 2:38:46my country where I'm from, where I came from, because
- 2:38:51this or this or this or that. Why do I
- 2:38:53want to bring some of that here? I guess would
- 2:38:55be one of the ways that I think about it. Yeah,
- 2:38:58I don't, I don't want.
- 2:38:59Speaker 2: I don't want. Hey, this Texas is kind of boring.
- 2:39:02Speaker 3: Let's bring in fucking militarized cartel members to roll around
- 2:39:04the city and pick up kids and shit like that
- 2:39:06and train them into camps.
- 2:39:07Speaker 2: Well that's the big fear about Texas having Californians come here.
- 2:39:10Don't California are Texas? Yeah, you know, because they're like, man,
- 2:39:14California is just bullshit. We had to get out of here.
- 2:39:16This place. The laws are dumb. What made this place
- 2:39:21this place? Those fucking laws dumb ass? Yeah? Like constitutional
- 2:39:25carry cool, cool, that's a cool thing. Keeps everybody super polite.
- 2:39:29Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody's super polite. And also like, hey, you call
- 2:39:32the cops after, you know whatever mentality that is. In Mexico,
- 2:39:38airsoft guns are like on weird list, Like you can't buy.
- 2:39:43Speaker 2: A site for a gun.
- 2:39:45Speaker 3: If you want to buy a gun, you have to
- 2:39:47fly to Mexico City, which basically makes it prohibited to
- 2:39:50anybody that doesn't have any real means or money to
- 2:39:53get get get guns or training. So it's basically you're
- 2:39:58not you don't get the privileged vent yourself in a
- 2:40:00country where you can't trust the cops ninety percent of
- 2:40:03all murders and never solved. And look at all these
- 2:40:05fucking robing gangs rolling around with fucking capabilities of taking
- 2:40:09down helicopters. They're cool, but you can't have a twenty
- 2:40:12two caliber pistol. That's the mindset. When I came up here,
- 2:40:17I'm like, ah, cool, this is like this is a
- 2:40:20place where that some of that is not the case.
- 2:40:23But then a bunch of gun laws passed in California
- 2:40:26while I was going through my process, and people started
- 2:40:28showing up to the gun range that I would go
- 2:40:30to training with like weird California complying guns that you
- 2:40:32have to like weld the magazine to a certain place
- 2:40:36and stuff like that, And I was like, oh man,
- 2:40:37it's changing up here too.
- 2:40:39Speaker 2: Just California. Yeah, just California. California's rough. Some of the
- 2:40:44things that they did, like they made pistol companies make
- 2:40:47magazines with lower capacity if you can't kill people with
- 2:40:51a ten round magazine.
- 2:40:53Speaker 1: Like what what?
- 2:40:54Speaker 2: How many lives does that say? Zero? Some of those
- 2:40:57laws are retarded, but like, but that's it. It's just
- 2:40:59the illusion that they're doing something to combat drug violence
- 2:41:02or gang violence or gun violence or it's all illusions. Yeah,
- 2:41:06it's all like optics. But it is it is is.
- 2:41:09Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's when I when I when I
- 2:41:11get asked about my American experience. You know, I've been profiled,
- 2:41:17I've been racist, shit has been.
- 2:41:20Speaker 2: Sent to me. You know, where are you living these days?
- 2:41:22Speaker 3: Texas, Houston, Beautiful Houston. It's the right amount of ghetto.
- 2:41:27Speaker 2: I love Houston. I love it. It's a little bit,
- 2:41:30it's a little bit of Mexican there. Yeah, Houston's a
- 2:41:33big grass melting pot. It's one of the best cities. Yeah,
- 2:41:36it really is.
- 2:41:37Speaker 3: I uh, when I when I got there, and again,
- 2:41:40I lived in Kentucky for a bit in California and
- 2:41:42then there. I've experienced great profiling and racism in California,
- 2:41:49which is pretty funny to say, but that's where I
- 2:41:51experienced the most of it. I've experienced people opening their
- 2:41:56houses to me and like just being the best people
- 2:42:00on the planet. I experienced that in Texas, in Kentucky
- 2:42:03with some people who were just like cool as fuck.
- 2:42:06I've experienced the best and the worst that the country
- 2:42:08has to offer, I think.
- 2:42:10Speaker 2: And I can see in it like I get it.
- 2:42:12I get what America is like I dude.
- 2:42:15Speaker 3: I finished high school and then I went to work
- 2:42:17for a paramilitary institution somewhere in New Mexico, and then
- 2:42:21I came up here and I have seven employees now
- 2:42:23in a company. I've spoken to members of Congress, I've
- 2:42:28trained federal forces and people that I've read about in
- 2:42:31books on how to do things that I learned in
- 2:42:33this horrible country warfare that I had to go through.
- 2:42:38There's no other place on the planet that would have
- 2:42:39provided me these opportunities for myself and for my daughter.
- 2:42:42There's no other place in the world. So like, I
- 2:42:45definitely have a fucking skin in the game when it
- 2:42:47comes to this country. It is disheartening that with the
- 2:42:54way things are now, like we're it like brown Mexican
- 2:42:58immigrants of any kind, legal or illegal, it right we are, yeah,
- 2:43:05it right now in the sights of ice, in the
- 2:43:08sights of any sort of authority figure that might want
- 2:43:10to like see like wait, wait.
- 2:43:13Speaker 2: What are you doing?
- 2:43:13Speaker 3: Who are you So that's it's a it's an anxiety,
- 2:43:17and again it's I've talking to people from my community
- 2:43:20across the country. It's it's it's a generalized anxiety of
- 2:43:25not feeling at home at home, which is dark.
- 2:43:29Speaker 2: Dark. It's dark. Yeah, it's dark. Yeah, Yeah, that's a
- 2:43:34that's the problem with these fucking brains. It also makes
- 2:43:38the rest of us feel awful, Like people that aren't
- 2:43:42scared of it, you feel awful about like what America
- 2:43:45stands for, Like the idea that we would find it
- 2:43:48right to send some kid who was born here or
- 2:43:51born in Mexico but came over here when he was two,
- 2:43:54can't speak Spanish at all, some kid in La that
- 2:43:57just doesn't have paperwork, and all of a sudden he's Mexico. Yeah,
- 2:44:00Like that is fucking dark. That's crazy, and that makes
- 2:44:04everybody else feel like, oh, this isn't a good country.
- 2:44:07Then that's not a good thing to do. That's a
- 2:44:09bad thing. That's an immoral thing to do. That's a
- 2:44:12thing that you do when you don't care. And this
- 2:44:14is supposed to be the shining light of the world.
- 2:44:17Speaker 3: Yeah, and you I talk to everybody like, I'm an
- 2:44:22open conversation in open book with anybody.
- 2:44:23Speaker 2: I don't see anybody as an enemy. I don't see
- 2:44:25anybody as an opponent. Doe. I've been through shit. I've
- 2:44:28been through hell and back.
- 2:44:29Speaker 3: I've so I've encountered situations where I've had to talk
- 2:44:33to immigration officials and you know, and say like, hey, dude,
- 2:44:37what's it like, Like, what's what like being the villain
- 2:44:41right now? Like the amount of a lot of these
- 2:44:44guys are getting docksed. They're utilizing AI technology to take
- 2:44:47a picture of them and removing the mask and it
- 2:44:50gives you a guesstimation of what their faces are. Like
- 2:44:52There's there's people that documenting their tattoos and then doxing
- 2:44:56them online and I'm like, they are like, why you
- 2:45:00ask that, ed, because we were vilified too, and that's
- 2:45:03how they you know, that's how they got to us.
- 2:45:04You know, they started making us into the enemy. There
- 2:45:09is there is a lot of interest out there I
- 2:45:12can see at high levels to separate us and keep
- 2:45:15us fighting, Like at a cultural level, I.
- 2:45:18Speaker 2: Think, hmm, more destabilization. So you think this is part
- 2:45:23of the plan. I don't know if there's a plan
- 2:45:25or not. Hopefully it kind of makes sense, like the
- 2:45:28part of the whole agenda is to create even more conflict.
- 2:45:33Speaker 3: Hopefully somebody has a plan, Like I hopefully somebody knows
- 2:45:37what they're doing somewhere, but maybe if they don't, that's
- 2:45:43a dark That's.
- 2:45:44Speaker 2: What makes me wonder. I wonder. I wonder if it
- 2:45:48really is a big plan or if it really is
- 2:45:50just fucking human chaos.
- 2:45:51Speaker 3: If I find myself in a room with Illuminati people
- 2:45:54and there's like then then I'm like, oh, these guys
- 2:45:55are smart whatever whatever this is. If we're going to
- 2:45:59be catalyt somebody that knows their ship is going to
- 2:46:01be in charge. But I don't, I don't know, Like
- 2:46:05I don't know.
- 2:46:06Speaker 2: I see this, I see I see the US in people,
- 2:46:10like people internationally see the US declining. You know.
- 2:46:14Speaker 3: I got to experience the US in the eighties, crossing
- 2:46:18the border and going to San Diego and going to
- 2:46:20SeaWorld with my parents and shopping and seeing the portions
- 2:46:23of everything bigger in the supermarkets, and then as an
- 2:46:26immigrant in the US now, like everything smaller and infrastructure
- 2:46:31is very dilapidated in certain parts of the country.
- 2:46:34Speaker 2: And it's not the US of the eighties, it's not
- 2:46:36the US of the nineties. It's different.
- 2:46:40Speaker 3: So yeah, I can see why people are screaming at
- 2:46:42the fact that, yeah, there's something has to be done,
- 2:46:45we're losing it as a country. But I think you
- 2:46:48hit it on the on the nail on the head.
- 2:46:50We went through Biden administration, that was all about who
- 2:46:57was in charge, is the question I have, Like, I
- 2:46:59don't know, was that dude in George No, somebody was.
- 2:47:03Speaker 2: Yeah, not only that, I think there was more than
- 2:47:06one of that dude. You know, there's like fake Biden's.
- 2:47:09Speaker 3: Yeah, and his son going online and doing an interview
- 2:47:14and he's giving us, giving us like a intimate view
- 2:47:17of his family conversations and nothing fun. He's a party
- 2:47:22party with that guy, probably, well not not anymore back then.
- 2:47:25Speaker 2: Maybe I don't think he even parties anymore.
- 2:47:28Speaker 3: But it's wild to think those and then people question
- 2:47:32why things are the way they are and why people
- 2:47:34are struggling in different parts of this different parts of
- 2:47:37society in this country. I came here to work and
- 2:47:42to make a better life for myself and for my kid,
- 2:47:44and I somehow managed to be in a place where
- 2:47:47I have like a employees and I have a company
- 2:47:49and I'm working, I'm doing work.
- 2:47:53Speaker 2: I can American dream.
- 2:47:54Speaker 3: It is the American dream, and it still exists and
- 2:47:57I'm proof of it still being real. But it is
- 2:48:01under attack from all sides, from all sides. Yeah, from
- 2:48:07all sides. I'll say that three times. Yeah, people need
- 2:48:10to realize that it's not just right, it's everywhere. There's
- 2:48:16there's there's definitely an interest.
- 2:48:18Speaker 2: To keep us all fighting. Yeah, and social media is
- 2:48:23a big part of that. Yeah. Yeah, that's literally how
- 2:48:27most people are getting their information and getting their narratives.
- 2:48:30Speaker 3: And the same fight that that is played on social
- 2:48:33media statewide, state side, is kind of like the same
- 2:48:36fight that is being sold to us. As far as
- 2:48:39Mexico versus the United States, We're not enemies, We're not
- 2:48:44we shouldn't be enemies, we should be the best of friends.
- 2:48:48There are thousands of Americans living in Mexico. Now, there's
- 2:48:52protests going on for gentrification in Mexico City from people
- 2:48:56being local being pushed off. Yeah, they go home, ringos,
- 2:48:59written walls. Meanwhile, there's ice rates in La and people
- 2:49:04have been rolled up and being deported, and that's happening
- 2:49:08all the while, where people are like Mexicans are like
- 2:49:10sick of all these Americans living in all these cool
- 2:49:12parts of Mexico and gentrifying them, which is wild. I mean,
- 2:49:16are we into mass American deportations next from Mexico? Is
- 2:49:21that going to happen? In the past, you can just
- 2:49:24cross the border as an American and they wouldn't ask.
- 2:49:27Speaker 2: You for shit. Now they ask you for ID. Ah
- 2:49:30really yes.
- 2:49:32Speaker 3: A lot of Americans that live in places like Tijuana
- 2:49:34and then work in San Diego have encountered this.
- 2:49:38Speaker 2: Oh, things are changing, like where's your ID?
- 2:49:41Speaker 3: They look Mexican, Yeah, well, where's your federal vot ID.
- 2:49:45Speaker 2: It's like you're an American, right and you just work
- 2:49:49in San Diego. Yeah, they go back and they really
- 2:49:53had this in the back.
- 2:49:54Speaker 3: Do you have to pay for like a visa extension
- 2:49:58thing so you can cross the bord regularly or you
- 2:50:01can be in Mexico for long periods? But things are
- 2:50:04changing again. These lines are being drawn on the ground,
- 2:50:08and I don't think are good for anybody. Free commerce
- 2:50:11at that border. San Diego and Tijuana are one and
- 2:50:14the same from blood family commerce, Yeah, they're one and
- 2:50:19the same.
- 2:50:21Speaker 2: Why draw a line there? Yeah. When I used to
- 2:50:23work in San Diego and I used to stand up
- 2:50:25down that and you know, if I hung out after
- 2:50:28the shows, I'd meet a bunch of people that came
- 2:50:30to the show from Mexico. Yeah yeah, and I'd say, Wow,
- 2:50:33you just came over here for the show. Yeah, drive across, Yeah,
- 2:50:37drive across.
- 2:50:38Speaker 3: And there's again we get as both of Mexico is
- 2:50:44poised to be a powerhouse economically if we don't fuck
- 2:50:48it up with socialism.
- 2:50:50Speaker 2: Oh and why is that being pushed too? More destabilization.
- 2:50:55But it is poised to be a powerhouse.
- 2:50:58Speaker 3: You know, we have we have the youth, we have
- 2:51:02everything we need to just fucking explode resources, everything. But
- 2:51:07that's the same reason why we're being targeted so much
- 2:51:11for destabilization there.
- 2:51:12Speaker 2: Wow, there's no path forward. I think.
- 2:51:18Speaker 3: To have a isolated the United States with giant walls
- 2:51:21and guards on the walls and nobody crossing that wall
- 2:51:25and Mexico next to it.
- 2:51:26Speaker 2: I don't think that. I don't I don't want to.
- 2:51:27Speaker 3: I don't think that's I don't I wouldn't want to
- 2:51:29go there.
- 2:51:30Speaker 2: No, there's always been this free flow back and forth.
- 2:51:33They just gotta make it so that cartel members can't
- 2:51:36just come across or or terrorists from other countries don't
- 2:51:39have an easy pathway.
- 2:51:43Speaker 3: The flow of armaments going down to Mexico, oh yeah,
- 2:51:47is one issue. The flow of drugs coming up from
- 2:51:51Mexico is another issue. The organized crime elements in Mexico
- 2:51:57doing horrific things to the local populous and to each
- 2:52:01other when they fight each other is an issue. But
- 2:52:04also the United States historical foreign policy to Mexico and
- 2:52:08its responsibility for a lot of these things happening in.
- 2:52:11Speaker 2: Mexico is also key.
- 2:52:13Speaker 3: What should the United States do about its responsibility in
- 2:52:16the past and some of its foreign policies in Mexico
- 2:52:19that have led Mexico to be where it is right now.
- 2:52:21As far as violence, I don't know, I don't. I
- 2:52:25don't think a full on military attack like Afghanistan in
- 2:52:29Iraq would be the answer because.
- 2:52:31Speaker 2: We see where that goes.
- 2:52:33Speaker 3: It's not as easy as sending just drones down there
- 2:52:36and exploding a few dudes. Because we've also seen.
- 2:52:38Speaker 2: What that happens.
- 2:52:39Speaker 3: When you cut the head of one snake, you know
- 2:52:42you just abducted the head of the Seine Law cartel
- 2:52:44and brought up to Texas and all and all that did.
- 2:52:48It didn't quell cartel violence in Mexico, but it didn't
- 2:52:51end the scene of law cartel. It just made a
- 2:52:54giant war in the state of Sceinalala and it divided
- 2:52:58up one cartel into two. Win probably made one of
- 2:53:00the biggest threats to the United States natural security as
- 2:53:03far as cartels go, bigger and more influential, that's.
- 2:53:07Speaker 2: What that did. Wow. And as again the path forward,
- 2:53:13I don't know this.
- 2:53:16Speaker 3: Both countries are linked through blood genetics, culture. You know,
- 2:53:21there's a dude online saying that Mexican food is better
- 2:53:24in the US than Mexico.
- 2:53:25Speaker 2: Is nuts, non sense. He's just an idiot, nonsense stupid dude.
- 2:53:30You'll know who I'm talking about. But both countries are
- 2:53:35like again, I've been across this country, I traveled across it,
- 2:53:38and it is a great country. I love it. I
- 2:53:41love it, I love it.
- 2:53:42Speaker 3: I love Mexico as well. It's it's my home country
- 2:53:45and I travel when I can there as well. I
- 2:53:48don't see a future without both of our countries. Just
- 2:53:51like figuring things out together. There's no I don't. I
- 2:53:54don't see a future.
- 2:53:55Speaker 2: Like that, well said.
- 2:53:57Speaker 3: Well said, we are going to need each other more
- 2:53:59than we think when when in the coming years, and
- 2:54:03open warfare between.
- 2:54:05Speaker 2: Both countries is not fucking insane, It's not going to be.
- 2:54:08It's not going to lead to anything.
- 2:54:11Speaker 3: You The United States doesn't have the manpower to stop
- 2:54:13the wave of migration that will come out of that country.
- 2:54:16If you start fucking lobbing targeted strikes in certain parts
- 2:54:20of that country, there's no way. So if you want
- 2:54:24to talk about it like my migration is your issue,
- 2:54:26that you're you're going the wrong way. And also what
- 2:54:31at what point to some of these criminal organizations, as
- 2:54:34as I said, become freedom fighters, right, and once they
- 2:54:38become freedom fighters, at what point do they start targeting
- 2:54:42Americans living down there?
- 2:54:45Speaker 2: And it's just not good. I wonder if they've thought
- 2:54:50it out like the US government's thought it out the
- 2:54:52way you're laying it out.
- 2:54:54Speaker 3: I've spoken to members of Congress, and I've spoken to members,
- 2:55:01have been in Washington a few times, and I've spoken
- 2:55:02to people that are in charge of things, and they
- 2:55:08have notions. Some of them, you know, but some of
- 2:55:11them are clearly you know they took.
- 2:55:15Speaker 2: That don't get that world. And if they're not like
- 2:55:17fully invested in finding out and really diving deep and
- 2:55:21getting an understanding of it, how how could they know what?
- 2:55:25Speaker 4: You know?
- 2:55:26Speaker 3: There's Well, they're doing the right thing by like I've
- 2:55:30I've been in rooms with people who were part of
- 2:55:32this conflict and and they're they're asking the right people,
- 2:55:38but they're some of them are verifying, Like, oh, we
- 2:55:41were just in Mexico and we spoke to the local
- 2:55:43officials there and they told us that they're doing this now,
- 2:55:45and look at all those drugs that they just got.
- 2:55:47Speaker 2: They're doing their job now.
- 2:55:50Speaker 3: And I'm like, dude, I used to work for them,
- 2:55:52and I could tell you that those boxes beneath those
- 2:55:54pills are probably empty and they're just there to like
- 2:55:57produce a visual weight, yeah of it. And also like
- 2:56:02that unit that that did that, uh, that seizure. Yeah,
- 2:56:06they're on a payroll for this organization. And also the
- 2:56:10governor of this place where this seizure happened. Yeah, you
- 2:56:14just took her visa away because the husband is involved
- 2:56:17in fuel smuggling, So like is.
- 2:56:22Speaker 2: This a win? Wow?
- 2:56:27Speaker 3: But yes, I'm sorry, but yeah, there are people that
- 2:56:31are trying to figure it out. In the government, there
- 2:56:34are people that are asking the right questions. I just
- 2:56:36I don't know what they're doing. I don't know what's
- 2:56:39going to happen with with the information. But a few
- 2:56:43things are clear. Everything is on the table as far
- 2:56:47as military options in Mexico and beyond in South America
- 2:56:51right now. There is an interest by the United States
- 2:56:55in some of that going on.
- 2:56:58Speaker 2: That's clear. And what that's going to look like.
- 2:57:04Speaker 3: Is it already happening with the abduction and subsequent arrest
- 2:57:08of Alamayo Sambala on a plane and some pretty kind
- 2:57:12of weird circumstances do the United States? Is the United
- 2:57:15States already doing political political counter operations against the regime
- 2:57:21that is ruling over Mexico in some way, shape or form.
- 2:57:24Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 2:57:24Speaker 3: There there's a bunch of political exposa is going on
- 2:57:28over Mexico right now, with a bunch of like documents
- 2:57:30and members of their very austeer political party having lavish
- 2:57:35lifestyles outside of the country and they get photographed and
- 2:57:38then that goes on the news, and then the President
- 2:57:41of Mexico says the CIA probably is taking all those
- 2:57:44pictures as a counter operation to what they're doing. Oh boy,
- 2:57:48So I think whatever is happening is it's it's it's
- 2:57:51already in motion. Again, My point is, the cost of
- 2:57:57this is if it's if it isn't done in a
- 2:57:59in a if it isn't done if it isn't done correctly,
- 2:58:03if it isn't done in a way where it's not
- 2:58:06taking to consideration the outcome or the fallout of something
- 2:58:09like abducting another giant head of a cartel down there
- 2:58:14or taking him out. And I think the biggest target
- 2:58:18out there is the head of the new generation cartel.
- 2:58:21I think that's if I could be a psychic right
- 2:58:24now and I say the US is going to applan
- 2:58:27some sort of direct action operation, I think that's going
- 2:58:29to be aimed at them. But you know, if the
- 2:58:36Americans have a vision that they're going to go somewhere
- 2:58:38and everybody's going to be wearing cartel member vest on,
- 2:58:43I don't think they're ready to go to somewhere and
- 2:58:45they have a bunch of police officers with full uniforms
- 2:58:49that we're actually a police officer there or members of
- 2:58:51the military then engage in a firefight with them. And
- 2:58:55call backup from the military. And then now you're involved
- 2:58:58in a nash in a in a fight with the
- 2:59:02with the army down.
- 2:59:03Speaker 2: There because they're all involved with the cartel, some of
- 2:59:06them are.
- 2:59:07Speaker 3: Again, we hear these stories of these people, who's draining them,
- 2:59:10who's supplying them, Who's who's showing them how to use
- 2:59:13those rocket launchers that they're getting from the Ukraine. You
- 2:59:17hear these stories and you're like, just like that dude
- 2:59:21standing up there, the CIA, all the drug the years
- 2:59:23like Ed, you're fucking you're just talking out of your
- 2:59:26ass's conspiracy theory shit. Five years ago I said terrorist
- 2:59:30designation and direct action in Mexico against a high level cartel,
- 2:59:36and here we are. Yeah, And maybe I maybe on
- 2:59:39that side of conspiracies, but I've been pretty spot on.
- 2:59:42Speaker 2: You've been pretty spot on.
- 2:59:43Speaker 1: Ed.
- 2:59:43Speaker 2: I appreciate you very much. I'm glad we did this.
