  Speaker 1: cartel violence down at our southern border and involved with

  Speaker 1: a project along with some other folks called the Cartel Chronicles,

  Speaker 1: which allows well residents of Mexico citizen journalists that are

• 0:47
  Speaker 1: politicians anybody else that dare speak out against them. Brandon Darby,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. It's a real pleasure to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have you on today. You're doing an empower youth seminar
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that's a log in from home convenience seminar for my listeners,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Empower You America begins at seven pm. It's good to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: have you on the program, and congratulations on the great
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: work you've done. I guess you pissed off a lot
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of Cartel members.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Brandon, Yes, thank you for having me on. I'm glad
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to be here, very happy to be here having my coffee.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I'm in Texas right now, so we're about an hour
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: behind you having coffee, and just very happy to be
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: here to share with your listeners what's going on. And yeah,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: we're having an empower You seminar tonight at seven pm,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and we are going to talk about how our project started,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: what our project does, and our project as a model
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: for ways of dealing with problems in the world or
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: in our country that seem insurmountable. Because that's what we've done,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: is we've taken on a group of people who routinely
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: kill journalists, kill everyone who challenged there, and we found
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: a way to successfully challenge them and get Americans caring
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: about this issue, caring about them, and now they're having
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: a very difficult time operating because of the fact that
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: they're getting exposed.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess I'm kind of curious to know. Listen,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I've been hearing about cartels in Mexico for a long
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: time now, most notably back in let's say, when I
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: was in high school in the eighties and nineties. You
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: heard about the cartels in South America. Columbia for example,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: immediately comes to mind. We got some big names in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the cartel world have come up. But is this a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: more recent phenomenon of these cartels in Mexico.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Well, the basic gist of it is that when there
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: was always a cartel in Mexico, right, there was one
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: specific large cartel, And what basically happened was the US
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: when after cartels in Columbia, and so the Columbia and said, hey,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: we don't really want to fight with the US government
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: any longer. And then this cartel in Mexico said, hey,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: why don't you just sell us the cocaine and we'll
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: be the ones getting it into the United States. We'll
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: take the risk, we'll take the heat, but will take
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of the profits. So the club being said, Okay,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that sounds great. So in the process of that, the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: one major cartel in Mexico got really out of hand,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: killed a usde agent and Kiki Camerin and tortured him ruthlessly,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and the US went after that cartel. That cartel decentralized,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and once it decentralized, all of those factions started to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: fight each other basically, and here we are today. So
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: it's been a huge mess. But that's the important thing
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: for people to know. And I'm sure a lot of
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: listeners do know this or had heard it, but many
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: facets in Mexico's government are controlled by these cartels, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that poses a pretty significant problem for US security because
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you have our neighbor to the south where their government
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: is primarily controlled by these paramilitary, transnational criminal organizations that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: we call cartels, and that poses unique challenges to our
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: security and our safety. And not to mention just what
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: it does to our loved ones who struggle with addictions
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and what have you, but just overall, it poses some
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: major problems for US. It poses major security threats. When
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you look at China constantly trying to influence that government
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: in Mexico and have relationships with these transnational criminal organizations.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You know, China's constantly getting these major infrastructure contracts in Mexico.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: China is competing with US for influence in Mexico. That's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a problem for us, right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I assume that also involves China working with the cartels
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: who apparently are largely in charge. I think of the politicians,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: members of law enforcement, judges, they can't. If I was
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in their position, I'd be scared, live in daylight to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: be scared. I'd be all the time. To the extent
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I want to do something to make my neighborhood better,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I want to go after the law. I want to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: engage in law enforcement, go after these cartels and prosecute them,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: convict them, whatever I can do. But the minute I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: raise a voice along those lines, I'm next on the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: hit list, right.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: That's right? And their families get murdered. There's a segment
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and they say plateo, oor plomo, and as do you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: want silver or do you want lead? We can make
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you rich or we can kill you and all of
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: your loved ones and some most people choose to just
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: accept the money and do what the various cartels and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the reason want them to do. We found a very
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: unique formula, like a recipe for really sticking to these
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: cartels that's worked, And what we realized is that these
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: cartels don't want attention. And if people begin to shower attention,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: shower attention upon them, what happens is the US gets upset,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: then Mexico gets embarrassed, and then Mexico starts trying to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: address them, right, Mexico starts singing in the military and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: what have you. So what we've done is systematically go
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: after various partel leaders, publish their photos, show who they
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: really are and what they're doing, and then that ultimately
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: leads to their capture or at least to their death.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And you know, obviously there's a lot of work to do,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: but a lot of work has been done. There's a
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: lot of cartel bosses who are in US custody now
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: who would not have been without our reporting, and there's
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a lot who are dead who would not have been
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: without our reporting. And we're very proud of that this recipe,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: because people in Mexico really can't speak out against them
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: openly without getting murdered. But what we found we took
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a gamble and we thought, okay, we're US journalists, were
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: connected right where Breitbart, and we think that these guys
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: are not going to want the heat of killing us.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: We think that we will get away with saying what
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: we want to say where people in Mexico can't, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: it turns out so far, god forbid, you know that changes.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: But so far they have not killed me. So it's
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: been very successful. And you know, a lot of news
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: outlets probably would want to do that, but their insurance
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: won't let them, or their bosses won't let them because
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: of the risk involved. But thankfully we worked for Breitbart,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and Breitbart is used to walking toward the fire, and
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Breitbart's used to taking these bold chances, and they allowed
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: us to do that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, Brandon, without question. And I have to give Breitbart
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: all the props in the world for being one of
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the first, if not the first, to bring the open
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: border reality to everyone's attention. You were there, You were
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: on the border. Account of other places, you witnessed, you videoed,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you photographed, you interview the influx of humanity. It just
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: was overwhelming and everyone meanwhile, I was trying to deny
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that that was happening. Oh, there's nothing going on down there,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: but he's log in Brightberry like, Nope, there it is
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: right there. I can see with my own eyes and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: read with my own eyes. I mean, it's you're a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: powerful force out there, and I guess, I guess how
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: is this going to help the Mexican government? I our being,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering, is this going to turn into like a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Venezuela situation because we're moving more and more military hardware
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: into Venezuela, obviously an epicenter of fentanyl and a lot
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of other drugs that are flowing out. But is this
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the direction we're going with Mexico or our relations with
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the Mexican government decent enough that we can actually effectuate
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: working with them to bring about some change and get
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: rid of these guys.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, So, so in Mexico everything is for sale.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It is true that bad guys, to put it simply right,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: bad guys can can buy their freedom. Then bad guys
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: can buy their way out of trouble. But it is
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: also true that good guys can buy trouble for the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: bad guys. Right. It just depends on who's the highest bidder,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: And that's where I think the US goes with this.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: You have to remember Mexico is full of a lot
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: of good people, like most places in the world, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of good people in Mexico who
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: want to see change, you know, Mexico is listed as
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: not a failed state, but a fragile state, meaning that
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: it's teetering. It's teetering. You know. They have thirty two
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: states in Mexico, and out of the thirty two states,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: more than half of them are actually under the physical
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: control of these transnational criminal organizations. So the central government
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: doesn't even have control over its territory. Right. These cartels do.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Various cartels do, and people need to understand that. Like
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: in the US, we can call nine one one if
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: there's a bad guy somewhere, then ultimately the US marshals
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: or the FBI or the DEA or can go and
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: get this bad guy. But in Mexico, when there's a
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: bad guy they want to get in over half of
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: their states, they can't just send a few agents to
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: go and arrest them. They have to send in their marines.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: They have to send in armored divisions to go and
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: get these bad guys because they have heavy weaponry. They
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: have drones, they have Russian made RPGs, they have uh,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you know, surface to air missiles. In some cases, these
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: are little, little little militaries within a greater country. So
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: realizing all of that, you just have to go okay.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: There are people that the who the US can work
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: with in Mexico, in Mexico's government to get things done
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: and to get bad guys. But usually when it's done,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: it's done without the knowledge of the you know, the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: overall government, right it's done with with people. It's usually
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: through the intel.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Me back channel communication, government backchannel communications right right now.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: But not the government as a whole, because the government
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: as a whole, even its current Secretary of Defense in Mexico,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: is heavily connected to one particular cartel boss or no minshaw.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: And so what do you do in that situation? What
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: you do is you work with you know, you don't
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: really need US troops on the ground or boots on
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the ground. You just work with people in Mexico who
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: who want to work with you, and you do it around,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: you know, behind the back of other people in Mexico.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: So that's what's going on. That's where this goes in Mexico.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think Mexico turns into Venezuela if we're vigilant,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: but it could if we're not. It could if we
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: leave it alone. It could if we continue to let
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: it fester as we did for you know, you have
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to remember, prior to twenty fifteen, maybe twenty sixteen, the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party line was that there's nothing going on here
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: on the border, right, fine, everything's cool, status quo is okay.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And clearly that's not the case as we all now see.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Well, going back very briefly, that is China, I understand,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: trying to trying to get a foothold literally everywhere around
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the globe, doing great inroads in Africa. It's for their benefit,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: trying to substitute America's influence for theirs. I'm just kind
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of curious as we part company today, Brandon, are the China.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Is China enjoying the benefits of working with these evil
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: cartels or do they have a similar interest like we
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: would in getting rid of them to their benefit? In
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: other words, all the Chinese helped us get rid of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the cartels. We love them, and you're welcome to our country.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Which direction is this going, Brandon.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that China is getting revenge on the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: West for it happened historically without the Old in their country.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: You know, if you have a government like China that
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: controls every facet, monitors every facet within their society, every
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: facet of production, every facet of shipping. Yet they're shipping
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: all of the precursor chemicals with Mexican cartels to make
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: sent of thel and thats amphetamine. Then then you would
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: have to say that the central government of China knows
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: exactly that they are shipping these precursors to Mexican cartels.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a weapon of war. It's a weapon of war.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, it's degrading us. And that's what China's attempting
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Brandon Darby will if Donald Trump successfully negotiations and negotiates
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: an agreement with China where they agree to help stop
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the flow of these precursor chemicals. Let's assume the impossible happens,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that in and of itself will go a long way
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to eradicate the cartels in Mexico. I would hope.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Temporarily it would until I mean, you have to remember,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: at this point, these beasts are so entrenched that they
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: would just start to produce their own pretersors.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, you could see that right on the horizon there.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Brandon Darby join him tonight. It begins at seven pm.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Empower Youamerica dot org. The site is currently not down.

• 14:11
  Speaker 1: in from home. That's the only place you can do it.
