Nobody in this country cares about watching bombs go off, but they are interested in the Mexican border, which I just visited for three days. Mexico is a cesspool of barbarism and criminality, and that's our existential threat, not China, Russia, or Iran. The cartels run everything in Mexico, and everyone knows the truth. My son was just in Mexico City, and people told him where not to go and what not to do to avoid the cartels. If you cross them, you're dead. The cartels also take care of their own, providing healthcare and other benefits. The weapons they have are serious, including RPGs and Javelin missile systems. Border patrolmen and Texas guard people have seen them just across the border. Some of these weapons may have come from Ukraine, where corruption is rampant and a lot of the aid we send ends up on the black market.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexican airspace. These MQ-9 drones aren't armed yet but can be. The CIA is sharing the drone intel with Mexican officials to help dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. These flights have occurred before, even under the Trump administration. There are concerns about potential overreach and violating Mexico's sovereignty. Designating cartels as terrorist organizations is expected this week. Also, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to risks like triggering IEDs and location leaks on social media. However, the stand-down has already been lifted, and agents are resuming normal camera operations. I've reached out to Axon, the manufacturer, and CBP to understand the fix.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexican airspace. These drones, while currently unarmed, can be equipped for precision strikes. The CIA is sharing the intel gathered with Mexican officials to dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. Previously, the Trump administration had similar drone flights but without notifying Mexican partners. There are concerns about potential overreach. Using US military in a foreign country could resemble an invasion. Mexico's president downplayed the drone presence as campaign related. Our president is expected to formally designate six Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations this week. Also, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to radio frequencies that could trigger explosives and social media posts revealing agent locations. The order to stand down has been lifted, and agents are wearing body cams again, but we are waiting to hear how the issues were resolved.

The cartels have warned of escalating violence, and with both Mexican and U.S. troops at the border, military involvement is expected. The Mexican military is positioned to counter the cartels, who have previously engaged them. As the U.S. secures the border and reduces crossings significantly, cartels are likely to retaliate, especially given their record profits from smuggling and trafficking. President Trump has designated them as terrorist organizations due to the harm they cause, particularly through fentanyl. A strong message is sent to the cartels: any harm to U.S. troops will provoke a severe response. The cartels may claim toughness, but they are no match for the power of the U.S. military and the resolve of President Trump.

The CIA shares the drone intel with Mexican officials to help dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. These missions have occurred before. Under the Trump administration, notifications were made without mentioning Mexican partners. There are concerns about potential violations to national sovereignty if the US military crosses the border. Despite these concerns, Mexico's president dismissed the drone flights as campaign tactics. We anticipate the President will formally designate six cartels as terrorist organizations this week. In other news, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to risks of triggering explosive devices and social media leaks of agent locations. However, the stand down has been lifted, and agents are to resume using body cameras. We are currently trying to find out the solution and how they are mitigating the risk.

Concerns about unidentified drones over military sites are growing, with speculation that they may be linked to adversarial forces, particularly China. Despite the presence of commercial drones, the ones over military bases remain unexplained. The government seems unable to identify the origin of these drones, which is troubling. There are ongoing discussions in Congress, including a House Intelligence Committee hearing, to investigate further. Additionally, there was an update on Speaker Pelosi, who is recovering from a hip replacement after a fall. She is in good spirits and eager to return home.

Airbridge is a term that is common in law enforcement for how drug traffickers move their drugs from multiple countries, Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, to our country. It's called an airbridge. And they pay off government officials. They pay people off. They pay off law enforcement officers in their countries to ignore that and to let them fly undetected. We're looking at all that. We're looking at that in multiple countries. We are not done yet. At president Trump's direction, we will continue to fight until every single cartel boss is behind bars and on American soil and in American prisons for the rest of their lives. Thank you.

Several suspicious ships were not inspected by the Coast Guard, and there were mystery drone flights over a nuclear testing range in Nevada. FBI agents reported drones flying over their homes, indicating a lack of seriousness from the administration regarding these threats. Recent drone attacks, like the one on Prime Minister Netanyahu's residence, highlight the urgency. Base commanders should have the authority to defend their bases without needing permission from higher officials. Concerns about collateral damage are misplaced, as any damage would be the fault of the People's Republic of China, which has previously violated U.S. airspace with drones. It is suspected that these recent drone incidents are also linked to China, given their capabilities. Understanding these developments is crucial for the future of warfare.

In this exclusive video from Arivaca, Arizona, near the US-Mexico border, a Sinaloa Cartel forward operating base is revealed. This base is responsible for smuggling deadly Fentanyl and Methamphetamine into the United States. The video, provided by a private intelligence agency, shows a fully camouflaged individual emerging from a tent in the camp. Arizona is a major entry point for Fentanyl, and these camps play a significant role in its distribution. The lack of action from the Department of Homeland Security and the absence of information from the NORTHCOM commander regarding this activity is concerning. Additionally, the video highlights a Santa Muerte shrine, revealing the cult-like practices of cartel members. This disturbing trend is spreading across the country.

Mexican cartels possess Pegasus spyware, developed by the Israeli firm NSO Group, which can infiltrate phones without requiring users to click any links. This "no-click malware" can access data before encryption, including calls, texts, emails, location, and social media. It can also activate the phone's camera and microphone for surveillance and take screenshots, all while conserving battery life to remain undetected. NSO requires approval from the Israeli Ministry of Defense for each sale. Mexico has had this software since at least 2016. Initially, NSO claimed it helped capture El Chapo, but it was also used against journalists and those opposing government corruption. Cartels are now allegedly teaming up, armed with military-grade weapons and narco drones, viewing the U.S. government as a common enemy. They could use Pegasus for blackmail or to plant evidence on phones. Striking cartels inside Mexico is complicated because the cartels have infiltrated the Mexican government, and military officials admit uncertainty about winning the war on drugs.

Special forces in Mexico shoot individuals dead at the border. Many parents have lost their children to Fentanyl-laced pharmaceuticals, which should be considered poisoning rather than an overdose. This crisis requires more aggressive measures to address it. Mexico will have a new president in 2024, and I hope to establish a good relationship with them to use our military to secure our own southern border. We need to prioritize protecting our own borders instead of focusing on others. The northern border is also a concern, as a significant amount of fentanyl was seized there last year. We should not only build a wall but also use the military to seal tunnels underneath it. Let's be practical and get the job done.

Drones have been appearing over military bases, coordinating simultaneous operations across multiple locations. These drones, some resembling quadcopters with multiple blades, are believed to be collecting intelligence for a large-scale attack, possibly involving multiple countries. Despite military protocols, there are limitations on responding to these drones, including FAA regulations preventing them from being shot down without approval. The drones are thought to operate autonomously, using advanced technology to evade detection and gather detailed scans of military assets. Concerns arise about the implications of this activity, with some speculating it could be a deep state operation to justify stricter drone regulations. The military is actively developing countermeasures but feels overwhelmed by the persistent drone presence.

Border patrol agents have exchanged gunfire with Mexican drug cartels, and the situation is expected to escalate. President Trump plans to seal the border and dismantle the cartels, which he has designated as terrorist organizations. The goal is to eliminate their involvement in trafficking, smuggling, and drug operations, leading to increased violence at the southwest border. The U.S. government will take action against these groups not only in Mexico but also in the 42 countries where the Jalisco cartel operates. The Trump administration aims to confront them decisively, similar to the approach taken against the caliphate, with the intent to destroy them.

In 1907, Theodore Roosevelt established a 60-foot strip of land called the Roosevelt Reservation along the southern border (excluding Texas). This strip was created to allow the federal government to control smuggling. The Roosevelt Reservation is being transferred to the Department of Defense (DOD). Anyone crossing the border onto this strip is now trespassing on a defense installation. This allows the military at the Southwestern Border to detain individuals until the border patrol arrives. This is intended to create greater coordination between the border patrol and the DOD. According to career border patrol leaders, this is the most support they have felt in their careers. There are thousands of incursions by cartel drones surveilling US property as they attempt to smuggle people and narcotics into the country.

Speaker 0: Have you considered talking to the president of Colombia who you called a drop leader? Speaker 1: No. I haven't really thought too much about him. He's been fairly hostile to The United States, and I haven't given him a lot of thought. He's he's gonna have himself some big problems if he doesn't wise up. Speaker 2: Did you say Colombia is producing a lot of drugs. Have cocaine factories that they make cocaine, as you know, and they sell it right into The United States. So he better wise up or he'll be next. He'll be next too. I hope he's listening. Speaker 0: So was this operation a message that you're sending to Mexico, to Claudia Scheinbaum, president there? Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't meant to be. We're very friendly with her. She's a good woman, but the cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. The cartels are running Mexico. We could be politically correct and be nice and say, oh, yes. Is no. No. She's very, you know, she's very frightened of the cartels that are running Mexico. And I've asked her numerous times, would you like us to take out the cartels? No. No. No, mister president. No. No, no, please. So we have to do something because we lost the real number is 300,000 people, in my opinion. You know, they like to say a 100,000. A 100,000 is a lot of people, but the real number is 300,000 people. And we lost it to drugs, and they come in through the southern border, mostly the southern border. A lot plenty come in through Canada too, by the way, in case you don't know.

His entire, like, internal security force, his internal security opera apparatus is entirely controlled by Cubans. One of the untold stories here is how, in essence, you talk about colonization because I think you said Dulce Rodriguez mentioned that, the ones who have sort of colonized, at least inside the regime, are Cubans. It was Cubans that guarded Maduro. He was not guarded by Venezuelan bodyguards. He had Cuban bodyguards. In terms of their internal intelligence, who spies on who inside to make sure there are no traitors, those are all Cubans. Speaker 0: He felt very strongly. We we needed for nationals.

Ioan Grillo - Cartel Wars & The Fentanyl Crisis | SRS #046
Guests: Ioan Grillo
reSee.it Podcast Summary
This week, Shawn Ryan interviews Ioan Grillo, an investigative journalist focused on cartels, particularly the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels. They discuss the recent power dynamics in Mexico, including the Mexican government's capitulation to the Sinaloa cartel, which led to the release of El Chapo's son, Ovidio Guzmán, after a violent confrontation with security forces. Grillo details a significant military operation on January 5, where the Mexican army engaged cartel members in a rural area, resulting in casualties on both sides. The operation coincided with President Biden's visit to Mexico, raising questions about its timing and whether it was a strategic move to showcase the government's efforts against cartels. The conversation shifts to the complexities of cartel operations, including their control over local governments and the intertwining of criminal organizations with state authorities. Grillo highlights the ongoing violence, with cartels employing brutal tactics to instill fear and maintain control, including public displays of violence reminiscent of medieval warfare. They discuss the rise of fentanyl trafficking, which has drastically increased overdose deaths in the U.S. The conversation touches on the challenges of combating this crisis, including the difficulties of enforcing border security and the inefficiencies of the U.S. and Mexican governments in addressing organized crime. Grillo emphasizes the need for comprehensive law enforcement strategies, crime prevention programs targeting youth, and addressing the economic motivations behind cartel activities. He notes the importance of understanding the social dynamics that lead young individuals to join cartels, often due to lack of opportunities and the allure of power and money. The discussion also covers the fragmented nature of cartel operations, with various factions often at odds with each other, leading to intra-cartel violence. Grillo explains how cartels can simultaneously engage in brutal tactics while also attempting to win over local populations through acts of charity, creating a complex relationship with communities. As they conclude, Grillo reflects on the potential future of organized crime in Latin America, drawing parallels with the situation in El Salvador, where the government has taken a hardline approach against gangs, leading to mass incarcerations. He warns that similar tactics might emerge in Mexico as the government struggles to regain control over powerful cartels. The episode highlights the intricate and violent landscape of cartel operations in Mexico, the challenges faced by law enforcement, and the urgent need for effective strategies to combat the growing influence of organized crime.

Joe Rogan Experience #2369 - Ed Calderon
Guests: Ed Calderon
reSee.it Podcast Summary
An hour of history and fear begins with Aztec death whistles, said to keep armies awake and unsettled. The discussion links these whistles to pre‑Columbian tribes, shamans, and animal‑style sounds used in night raids to disrupt sleep and wear down enemies. It covers the Aztec and Maya civilizations, the pyramids at Chichén Itzá, and a city long called the city of the gods, abandoned before European arrival. Bloodletting and human sacrifice appear in ritual depictions, while Catholic and Spanish forces blended cultures, yielding mestizaje and a modern, mixed‑heritage Mexico. The era’s engineering and ritual violence reveal a civilization whose history interweaves conquest, creation, and mystery. Today, Ed Calderon describes a border landscape where brutality has migrated into a technologically driven cartel economy. The new generation cartel dominates Sinaloa and northern regions, with Mayo and Guzmán factions trading blows in a war that halts cities and commerce. Cartels recruit openly on TikTok, lure vulnerable youth into training camps, test them with violence, and assign recruits to tanks or drones. Drone warfare, IEDs, and corruption blur the line between criminals and state actors. Fuel theft, Chinese intermediaries, and money laundering fund the fight, while Mayo’s arrest and shifting loyalties intensify the conflict across the border. Politically, the scene mixes cartel power with governance. Morena and Calderón eras are discussed as cartels embed in local politics, police, and even universities. Ed notes assassinations and security politicization, plus U.S. and Chinese involvement—from drones to fentanyl precursors and cross‑border trade. Debates about deportations, amnesty, and census rules surface alongside reflections on immigration and labor. A Texas arrest of a top cartel head is cited, with unclear consequences for governance and security in both countries, underscoring how policy, crime, and diplomacy intersect on the border. Interwoven with war reports are intimate stories of survival. Ed shares his journey from addiction to sobriety and his immigration experience, expressing that America remains a fragile beacon worth defending. He advocates dialogue over demonization, acknowledging how economies, borders, and people are entwined, and that violence on one side becomes global risk on the other. The core message: the United States and Mexico need cooperative, prudent strategies that address crime, migration, and prosperity while preserving humanity and opportunity for those seeking a better life.

El Mencho Killing IGNITES Narco War & Newsom's 960 SAT Speech | PBD #744
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The episode centers on a rapid-fire rundown of current geopolitical and domestic political tensions, anchored by a discussion of Mexico’s CJNG cartel leadership and the violence surrounding El Mencho’s death. The hosts examine how the operation against the cartel implicates broader issues of law enforcement, border security, and U.S.-Mexico relations, highlighting debates about whether external threats require direct intervention, and how a potential power vacuum could ripple through regional stability. They juxtapose the Mexican crisis with potential implications for Iran, emphasizing the risk of escalation if the leadership is decapitated without a ready succession plan and a clear policy path. Throughout, the panel debates the proper balance between muscular foreign policy and cautious diplomacy, weighing consequences for tourism, supply chains, and regional security. The Iran segment then pivots to a larger discussion of nuclear ambitions, enrichment capabilities, and the possibility of a strategic, surgical response, while considering the domestic political dynamics that shape U.S. decision-making, including the role of Congress, the Supreme Court, and public opinion on interventionism. A recurring thread is the tension between immediate action and the long arc of governance, with the panelists arguing that decisive moves must be paired with credible post-action plans to avoid plunging into chaos or entrenching a new cycle of violence. The show also tracks domestic political color, from tariffs and regulatory policy to California governance and the populist rhetoric around leadership. The battery of topics—tariffs, judiciary, and state-level policy—are treated as interconnected in shaping the country’s competitiveness and resilience, underscoring how leadership choices ripple from boardrooms to battlefields and ballot boxes. Interwoven personal stories about family, trust, and accountability provide a counterpoint to geopolitical analysis, illustrating how outcomes in far-flung theaters can touch ordinary lives and the fabric of civic life in the United States. The discussion closes by reaffirming the importance of deliberate leadership, strategic thinking, and the human dimension of power and policy, especially as the world watches unfolding events in real time.
