Cartel War: The Bigger Story
Notorious Mexican drug lord El Mencho was killed in a Mexican government raid to arrest him. But was this whole operation a result of a pressure campaign from President Trump?
Glenn Beck speaks to Breitbart Cartel Chronicles co-founder Brandon Darby, who had warned Glenn about El Mencho last year. Darby shares his critical insight into the operation and what Mexico and the United States may look like going forward.
Juan O’Savin tells David “Nino” Rodriguez that Mexicans, as well as Americans living in Mexico, can expect hell over the next few weeks as the war against the cartels rages, especially in tourist zones like Puerto Vallarta. But O’Savin says the Mexican government had no choice but to act. Otherwise, the cartels would have continued to ramp up violence for years ahead.
Now, there will be a period of intense clashes, but hopefully, some light will shine through the tunnel soon. One remaining question: Will the United States enter the fray, sending the U.S. military to dig the cartels out of the rat traps they have set along our southern border? President Donald Trump has offered to help fight these fiends, but Mexico has resisted. Could that change over the weeks ahead?
O’Savin believes both Mexico and the United States would like this battle to end ahead of the 2026 World Cup. That will see the world’s soccer teams compete in staged matches in the United States, Mexico and Canada this summer from June 11 through July 19. The Mexican games will be in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.
