Podcasts about cartel chronicles

Ravaged by political corruption, decades of mass murder, unfettered human trafficking, and a spiraling fentanyl crisis, Mexico is a “fragile narco-state,” says Brandon Darby, co-founder of Breitbart's Border and Cartel Chronicles. While Mexican media and journalists are silenced by fear of cartel retribution, Darby has spent years exposing atrocities like the mass graves found miles from our southern border, giving a voice to a nation ignored and terrorized into silence. Darby criticizes U.S. diplomatic efforts focused on reforming Mexico's justice system and depicts a U.S.-Mexico border rife with lawlessness and violence, urging Trump to enact border policies that “treat the cartels like we treat al-Qaeda” and not to forget that “China is courting Mexico.”     For more of Brandon's reporting, visit: https://www.breitbart.com/author/brandon-darby/ GLENN'S SPONSORS   American Financing   American Financing can show you how to put your hard-earned equity to work and get you out of debt.

A recent federal indictment unsealed in June 2024 details a sophisticated scheme involving the Sinaloa Cartel and Chinese money launderers in Los Angeles. The indictment charges 24 individuals, including key figures such as Edgar Joel Martinez-Reyes, with conspiracy to distribute drugs, launder money, and operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.This investigation, dubbed "Operation Fortune Runner," revealed that over $50 million in drug proceeds were laundered through an underground banking system linked to Chinese nationals. The money laundering network, based in the San Gabriel Valley of California, processed and concealed large amounts of drug trafficking proceeds, making them accessible to cartel members in Mexico and elsewhere. Methods used included trade-based money laundering, asset structuring, and the purchase of cryptocurrency.The collaboration between U.S., Chinese, and Mexican law enforcement led to the arrest of several fugitives involved in this scheme. This case underscores the growing partnership between Mexican drug cartels and Chinese organized crime groups to launder drug money, which funds the production and distribution of dangerous drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine in the United States​.In this episode we take a look at that indictment.  (commercial at 8:05)to contact me:bobbycapuccisource:IND.pdf (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ecuador has long been a transit corridor for narco traffickers. Now though, those same narco traffickers have taken up residence in the country and they are driving a wave of violence and mayhem that has seen the country wracked by car bombs, beheadings and other violence that mimics what we have seen in Mexico. In this episode, we take a look.(commercial at 8:49)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ecuador-terrorized-by-mexican-led-drug-trafficking-explosion/ar-AA1056cv?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=37ebe9976dec44b09de93e44c40a536c

The term "Los Chapitos" refers to the descendants of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, one of the most notorious drug lords in Mexico's history. El Chapo was the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most powerful and influential drug trafficking organizations globally. Here's a detailed summary of Los Chapitos and their roles in the world of organized crime:Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar: Iván is one of El Chapo's sons and has been deeply involved in the Sinaloa Cartel's operations. He is considered one of the key figures within the cartel. Iván has faced allegations of participating in various criminal activities, including drug trafficking, money laundering, and violence. He operates discreetly and maintains a relatively low public profile.Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar: Jesús Alfredo is another son of El Chapo and has been linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. His involvement in the cartel's activities has made him a subject of interest for law enforcement agencies. In 2016, Jesús Alfredo was kidnapped by a rival cartel, but he was eventually released, showcasing the high-stakes conflicts between rival criminal organizations in Mexico.Ovidio Guzmán López: Ovidio, also a son of El Chapo, has played a significant role in the Sinaloa Cartel. His capture by Mexican authorities in October 2019 led to a dramatic and violent confrontation between the cartel and government forces in the city of Culiacán, Sinaloa. The Mexican government ultimately released Ovidio to avoid further bloodshed, highlighting the cartel's ability to challenge the state's authority.Joaquín "El Chapito" Guzmán López: Joaquín, known as "El Chapito," is another son of El Chapo. He was arrested by Mexican authorities in June 2020 and faces drug trafficking charges. His arrest marked another blow to the Guzmán family's influence within the cartel.Los Chapitos have inherited the criminal legacy of their father, and their involvement in various aspects of the drug trade has continued to shape the dynamics of organized crime in Mexico:Drug Trafficking: Members of Los Chapitos have been heavily involved in the trafficking of illegal drugs, primarily cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine, from Mexico into the United States and other international markets.Territorial Control: The influence of Los Chapitos extends to the control of drug trafficking routes and territories. They have engaged in violent conflicts with rival cartels, particularly the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), over territorial disputes.Money Laundering: Los Chapitos are also believed to be involved in money laundering activities, facilitating the cartel's financial operations and ensuring the flow of illicit funds.Violence: Their involvement in criminal activities has contributed to the escalation of violence in Mexico, leading to ongoing conflicts with rival cartels and law enforcement agencies.In the wake of the arrest of Ovidio Guzman, the United States is now calling for the arrest and extradition of the remaining sons of El Chapo.(commercial at 7:25)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:El Chapo's three sons - who remain in control of the Sinaloa Cartel - face extradition calls from the U.S. after Mexico handed over their brother | Daily Mail Online

The cooperation between the United States and Mexico in the war on drugs has been a complex and evolving partnership with both successes and challenges. Here is a summary of key points in this cooperation:Historical Context: The U.S. and Mexico have a long history of cooperation in addressing drug-related issues, dating back to the 1970s. The proximity of Mexico to the United States, a major consumer market for illegal drugs, has made this collaboration essential.Merida Initiative: In 2008, the United States launched the Merida Initiative, a multi-year aid program to support Mexico in its efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime. This initiative provided equipment, training, and technical assistance to Mexican law enforcement and security forces.Joint Operations: The two countries have engaged in various joint law enforcement operations to target drug cartels and dismantle drug trafficking networks. These operations have led to the capture of several high-profile drug traffickers.Information Sharing: Both nations have improved information sharing and intelligence cooperation to better understand and combat drug trafficking organizations. This includes sharing data on drug shipments, money laundering, and cartel activities.Legal Extradition: The U.S. and Mexico have an extradition treaty in place, allowing the transfer of criminals wanted in one country to face justice in the other. This has been used to extradite major drug lords and cartel leaders.Challenges and Tensions: Despite cooperation, there have been tensions in the relationship. Issues such as corruption within Mexican law enforcement, human rights abuses, and disputes over drug policy have strained cooperation at times.Shift in Focus: In recent years, there has been a shift in strategy, with a greater emphasis on addressing the root causes of drug trafficking and violence, such as poverty, lack of economic opportunities, and social inequality. Both countries have invested in development programs in Mexico's drug-producing regions.Legalization and Drug Policy: Differences in drug policies between the two nations have been a source of tension. While some U.S. states have legalized recreational and medical marijuana, Mexico has also been moving toward more liberal drug policies, including decriminalization.Ongoing Efforts: Cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico in the war on drugs remains ongoing. Both countries continue to work together on a range of issues, including interdiction efforts, intelligence sharing, and promoting regional security.According to a new DHS paper that was released, the United States is looking to expand their footprint in Mexico even more as the battle against fentanyl ramps up.(commercial at 6:57)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The United States seeks to ‘aggressively' expand its anti-fentanyl operations in Mexico | U.S. | EL PAÍS English (elpais.com)

In a disturbing incident at the Clark County Jail in Indiana, former corrections officer David Lowe sold keys to the female section of the jail to male inmates for $1,000 each on October 23, 2021. This led to a "night of terror" where male inmates gained access to the women's cells and reportedly assaulted multiple female inmates.Lowe has been arrested and faces charges of aiding escape, official misconduct, and trafficking with an inmate. He was immediately fired after the incident. The women involved have filed a federal lawsuit against Lowe, Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel, and other jail officers, citing systemic failures in security and staffing as contributing factors to the attack.The lawsuit alleges that no jail officers intervened during the attack and that subsequent punitive measures were taken against the women, such as revoking their "dark privileges," placing them on lockdown, and confiscating personal items. The keys used in the attack were never recovered, and the cell locks were not changed, leaving the women in fear for their safety.(Clark county has settled with 25 of the women who brought claims against the county for a total of $328,000.  )(commercial at 8:06)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/female-inmates-raped-after-jailer-sells-key-to-cell-for-1k-lawsuit-claims/ar-AA101RqI?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=c4ce6843eb2f41da9da907f2436826be

The deep-rooted corruption in the Mexican government regarding drug cartels is not just a failure of policy—it is a systemic betrayal of the nation's citizens. For decades, cartel money has infiltrated every level of government, from municipal police forces to high-ranking federal officials. Politicians, law enforcement, and even military personnel have been bribed, threatened, or outright recruited to serve cartel interests, turning public institutions into enforcers for organized crime. Investigations have repeatedly exposed elected officials receiving cartel funding in exchange for protection, ensuring that law enforcement agencies either look the other way or actively participate in criminal enterprises. The recent arrest and conviction of Genaro García Luna, Mexico's former top security official, for aiding the Sinaloa Cartel is just one glaring example of how deeply embedded this corruption is. Meanwhile, presidents and governors routinely promise to crack down on organized crime while simultaneously cutting backroom deals that allow these organizations to thrive.The consequences of this corruption are catastrophic, fueling Mexico's spiraling violence and undermining any hope for justice or security. Cartels operate with near impunity, executing journalists, activists, and law-abiding officials who dare to challenge their power. Law enforcement agencies are riddled with double agents who provide traffickers with intelligence, allowing them to evade capture and retaliate against rivals. The so-called “war on drugs” is nothing more than a theater, with government operations selectively targeting weaker criminal groups while shielding the most powerful cartels that have bribed their way into immunity. The judiciary is no better, with judges frequently overturning arrests or ensuring that high-profile traffickers walk free. This rampant corruption has turned Mexico into a narco-state where power is dictated not by laws but by the highest bidder, leaving ordinary citizens to suffer the brutal consequences of government complicity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In July 2024, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, was apprehended by U.S. authorities in El Paso, Texas. Zambada contends that he was ambushed and forcibly taken to the United States against his will. According to his attorney, Frank Pérez, Joaquín Guzmán López, son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, orchestrated the abduction. Zambada alleges that Guzmán López, accompanied by six armed men in military attire, ambushed him near Culiacán, Mexico. They allegedly restrained him, placed a bag over his head, and transported him to an airstrip, where he was flown to El Paso and handed over to U.S. authorities. Zambada maintains that he neither surrendered nor negotiated any terms with the U.S. government. Vicente Zambada Niebla, El Mayo's son, has a complex relationship with the U.S. government. Extradited to the United States in 2010, he pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges in 2013. As part of his plea agreement, Zambada Niebla cooperated extensively with U.S. authorities, providing valuable intelligence on the Sinaloa Cartel's operations. His cooperation was considered significant, leading to a reduced sentence of 15 years in prison, which was notably lenient given the severity of his charges. This collaboration has been instrumental in U.S. efforts to combat drug trafficking and dismantle cartel networks. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

His cooperation included providing testimony against key cartel figures, notably Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. As part of his plea agreement, Zambada acknowledged his role in coordinating the smuggling of multi-ton quantities of narcotics and agreed to forfeit assets totaling $1.37 billion. In May 2019, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with the court considering his substantial assistance to prosecutors. Due to his cooperation, Zambada was released in 2021 after serving part of his sentence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In July 2024, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, was apprehended by U.S. authorities in El Paso, Texas. Zambada contends that he was ambushed and forcibly taken to the United States against his will. According to his attorney, Frank Pérez, Joaquín Guzmán López, son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, orchestrated the abduction. Zambada alleges that Guzmán López, accompanied by six armed men in military attire, ambushed him near Culiacán, Mexico. They allegedly restrained him, placed a bag over his head, and transported him to an airstrip, where he was flown to El Paso and handed over to U.S. authorities. Zambada maintains that he neither surrendered nor negotiated any terms with the U.S. government.Vicente Zambada Niebla, El Mayo's son, has a complex relationship with the U.S. government. Extradited to the United States in 2010, he pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges in 2013. As part of his plea agreement, Zambada Niebla cooperated extensively with U.S. authorities, providing valuable intelligence on the Sinaloa Cartel's operations. His cooperation was considered significant, leading to a reduced sentence of 15 years in prison, which was notably lenient given the severity of his charges.

Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda and Rubén Rocha Moya, both prominent political figures in Sinaloa, Mexico, have a longstanding rivalry rooted in their tenures as rectors of the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa (UAS) and subsequent political endeavors. Cuén, who served as UAS rector from 2005 to 2009, later founded the Sinaloense Party (PAS) and became a significant political force in the state. Rocha, rector from 1993 to 1997, ascended to the governorship of Sinaloa in 2021. Their relationship, once collaborative, deteriorated over time, leading to public disputes and political confrontations. This animosity culminated in July 2024 when Cuén was murdered, an event that coincided with the arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. Initially, Cuén's death was reported as a robbery attempt; however, subsequent revelations, including claims by Zambada, suggested a more complex scenario involving political rivalries and cartel dynamics.The arrest of "El Mayo" Zambada has been mired in controversy, with Zambada alleging he was ambushed and kidnapped by Joaquín Guzmán López, son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, and subsequently handed over to U.S. authorities. In a letter made public by his attorney, Zambada claimed that the ambush occurred during a meeting intended to mediate the dispute between Governor Rocha and Cuén. He alleged that during this orchestrated encounter, he was seized and transported to the United States against his will. These assertions have intensified scrutiny of the political feud between Rocha and Cuén, suggesting potential intersections between political conflicts and cartel activities in Sinaloa. The intertwining of these events underscores the complex and often opaque relationships between political figures and organized crime in the region.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Following the 2017 extradition of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán to the United States, leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel transitioned to his sons, collectively known as "Los Chapitos." This group includes Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar, Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, Ovidio Guzmán López, and Joaquín Guzmán López. Under their direction, the cartel expanded its operations, notably increasing the production and trafficking of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, utilizing sophisticated laboratories in Culiacán. They also diversified smuggling methods, employing tunnels, maritime routes, and air transportation to distribute drugs into the United States.The leadership of Los Chapitos has not been without internal strife.

The Sinaloa Cartel has established a vast international presence, extending its operations far beyond its origins in Mexico. In the United States, the cartel has entrenched itself in numerous cities, utilizing sophisticated distribution networks to supply narcotics such as fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin. The cartel's influence is particularly pronounced in border states like California, Arizona, and Texas, but its reach extends nationwide, contributing significantly to the opioid crisis. Beyond the U.S., the Sinaloa Cartel has expanded into Canada, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, and the Middle East, establishing a global footprint in the illicit drug trade.The cartel's international expansion is facilitated through strategic alliances with various criminal organizations worldwide. In Colombia, partnerships with paramilitary groups such as the Clan del Golfo enable the production and trafficking of cocaine. In Europe, collaborations with entities like the 'Ndrangheta in Italy and the Kinahan Organized Crime Group in Ireland have been reported. The cartel also engages with Chinese triads, including Sun Yee On and the 14K Triad, to procure precursor chemicals necessary for synthetic drug production, particularly fentanyl and methamphetamine. These global alliances have allowed the Sinaloa Cartel to diversify its operations and solidify its position as one of the world's most powerful and far-reaching drug trafficking organizations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

As the war in Ukraine has evolved so has the warfare we've seen on the ground and in the air. One of those changes is the use of cheap drones to either drop munitions on enemy positions or equipment or they are kamikaze style drones that are used as the munition itself. Due to this, armored vehicles on both sides have installed "cope cages" on vehicles in hopes that it will lessen the damage from the drone strike.We are now seeing the same thing in Mexico as the use of drones by the cartels continues to escalate and the results have proven to be effective and deadly.

Miguel Morales Treviño, also known as Z-40, is a former high-ranking leader of Los Zetas, one of Mexico's most violent and notorious drug cartels. Born in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, he rose through the cartel's ranks due to his strategic acumen and brutal tactics. Known for his ruthless approach to power, Morales Treviño used extreme violence as a tool for both internal discipline and external intimidation. Under his leadership, Los Zetas expanded their operations beyond traditional drug trafficking to include human trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, oil theft, and arms smuggling, establishing a fearsome reputation across Mexico and Central America.His reign marked a period of intense violence, including infamous incidents like the San Fernando and Allende massacres, which highlighted his willingness to employ terror to maintain control. Morales Treviño's actions brought significant attention from law enforcement, ultimately leading to his capture in 2013 by Mexican marines. His arrest marked a turning point for Los Zetas, triggering a decline in their power and influence. Despite his downfall, the legacy of his brutality and strategic diversification continues to impact Mexico's ongoing struggle with organized crime.(commercial at 7:50)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

El Chaparro, a leader within the Familia Michoacana cartel, played a significant role in a deadly confrontation in Tuzantla, Michoacán. The violence erupted on August 24, 2022, when hitmen from rival factions of the same cartel clashed in the town's main square, resulting in at least eight deaths, including minors. This confrontation was part of a larger internal conflict within the Familia Michoacana following the execution of another cartel leader, Medardo Hernández Vera, alias "Lalo Mantecas".El Chaparro, who controls the Tuzantla and Tiquicheo areas, rebelled against the supreme leader of the Familia Michoacana, Johnny Hurtado Olascoaga, alias "El Pez." This rebellion led to a series of violent clashes, including the torching of a gas station in Tuzantla. Federal and state security forces responded, arresting several individuals and seizing vehicles, weapons, and drugs.The conflict in Michoacán is part of a broader pattern of cartel-related violence that has plagued the region, contributing to high homicide rates and significant instability​.(commercial at 8:39)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/cartel-leader-massacres-eight-people-27871442

There have been persistent rumors that Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a prominent leader within the Sinaloa Cartel, orchestrated the arrest of Ovidio Guzmán, the son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. These rumors suggest that El Mayo provided authorities with Ovidio's location, leading to his capture by Mexican security forces on January 5, 2023. This arrest ignited significant violence in Culiacán, with cartel members setting up roadblocks and engaging in gunfights to prevent his extradition​.El Mayo's alleged betrayal could be seen as a strategic move to consolidate power within the Sinaloa Cartel, as he has reportedly been dealing with health issues and may have seen Ovidio's growing influence as a threat to his control. If true, this could lead to increased violence as the cartel fragments and various factions vie for dominance​.(commercial at 7:04)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:El Chapo's son 'betrayed' by his dad's right-hand man who gave secret location to army - Daily Star

We check in on the 2024 Presidential race as well as other media distractions.Randy Clark is on from Breitbart's Border and Cartel Chronicles division. He gives some shocking details about new developments at the border.

If America lets in the entire Third World, at which point does America become Third World itself? This is an increasingly pressing question to answer, as the end of Title 42 signals absolute anarchy along the U.S./Mexico border. Savanah Hernandez reports from ground zero of the border disaster in El Paso, and Cartel Chronicles author Randy Clark describes the no man's land of northern Mexico as cartels, killers, and human traffickers maneuver for dominance in a land the U.S. government has abandoned to its fate.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Breitbart News Daily, we begin with a quick recap of Alex's Independence Day weekend - he makes the case that middle, regular, old America does not share the same negative world view of this country as most of the people who run our big cities. He reads some awful tweets and headlines from the media class to illustrate. Then, he breaks down Pres. Joe Biden's take on Independence Day. Biden announced that America isn't doing all that great (he takes no responsibility for this, of course) and that gas stations must lower gas prices *NOW* because hey, President Joey says so. Then we give some of the details on the Highland Park, IL Independence Day parade shooting. It was horrible, in every sense of the word, including how the media is dealing with it. Utah Sen. Mitt Romney (R) seems to be trying to egg on Donald Trump to the point where the former President runs again. And finally, we have an epic "Woke Update" today, which includes a description of shocking video footage we have up at Breitbart News of a particularly debased, fetishistic "pride" parade that somehow garnered more corporate sponsors than a typical NASCAR driver. Scary, but important. Our first guest today is retired Navy SEAL Derrick Van Orden, who is running for Congress in Wisconsin's 3rd district. Then, we speak to Randy Clark, a former Border Patrol agent who is now an integral part of Breitbart News' Border and Cartel Chronicles initiative.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Robert Arce is a retired Phoenix Police Detective. Most of his career, he worked Mexican organized crime and street gangs with his agency. He started his career in late 1981, so he was at ground zero when the crack cocaine epidemic hit his city and the associated violence. He was a patrolman in inner city Phoenix. By the mid-80s, he was working in an undercover narcotics unit buying street-level drugs to start.

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast, Alex is in the captain's chair today, despite a planned absence. There was simply too much breaking news in the Uvalde, Texas massacre, including the apparent revelation there was no armed guard at the school - contra to what was reported by esteemed journalist Jimmy Kimmel. Breitbart News also broke the news overnight that police lacked an essential piece of equipment for active shooter situations. We go through the timeline in great detail then we get into a few other headlines. Our guest today is Brandon Darby, who is Breitbart's Border and Cartel Chronicles director, but he also heads up our Texas coverage. He reports the real news and corrects the fake news coming out of Uvalde. Then we finish with our caller of the day.

Having political, or even media, biases is no excuse to ignore terrible things that are happening in the world, which is one of the reasons our guest this week was invited on the show.  Brandon Darby, has been covering the southern border of the United States for Breitbart for over a decade, and has witnessed,  reported on, and understands the struggles and challenges that exists there better than most. Brandon tells us about the steady encroachment of Chinese influence in Mexico, as well as the horrific killings of hundreds of people, by the cartels, just to get to a single person under protective custody. Brandon's work with the Cartel Chronicles is truly a gift to the world of journalism, and it's difficult to hear him talk about it without wondering why the border doesn't get more attention. Guest Bio:Brandon Darby is the managing director and editor-in-chief of Breitbart Texas. He co-founded Breitbart Texas' Cartel Chronicles project with Ildefonso Ortiz and senior Breitbart management. Articles: https://www.breitbart.com/border/ Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/faithpolitics)

On today's Breitbart News Daily podcast - turning the tide. The eulogy of an NYPD hero's widow still reverberates as an indictment of the entire Left's soft on crime stance from coast to coast. And going hand in hand with that stance is what's happening at our southern border. And now, we see on tape rank and file Border Patrolmen speaking up in front of their superiors, including DHS Secretary Alejandro  Mayorkas. Then, it's a turn to north of the border - to Canada - where the trucker convoy against vaccine mandates arrived in Ottawa as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hid. What can we make of this particular symbolism? Jerome Hudson explains. And what about the irony of Pres. Biden going to Pittsburgh to tout infrastructure and a bridge collapses. Joey can't even get one win! Our guest today, Breitbart News' "Cartel Chronicles" co-founder, Brandon Darby, expands on the Border Patrol's frustration with the Biden Admin. as well as the continuing human trafficking epidemic.

Sarah and Dawn host Breitbart’s Border and Cartel Chronicles project leader Brandon Darby to discuss what a “coyote” is and isn’t (hint: it’s not a canine that carries children) in the wake of the mention they got on the last presidential debate. They also talk about causes and effects of illegal border crossings, what might help control it, and the humanitarian approach that is so often lost in the fight. It’s a bit more serious than our usual fare, but important info for everyone. Twitter: @FoundersGirl @aurora_g96 Web: http://www.bleepingpodcast.com

Charlie sits down for an eye opening discussion with Brandon Darby of Breitbart News and the Cartel Chronicles about the truth behind human trafficking that is still ravaging the U.S. border with Mexico. Driven by rampant corruption and decades of disastrous policies by US politicians, Darby outlines the core problems and the difficult truths driving human trafficking into the U.S. by Mexican drug cartels.

In this episode, listen to Catherine Engelbrecht discuss the "Magic Eye" (the need to unfocus the eye to see clearly) with the legendary Brandon Darby, a Director with Breitbart and their Border and Cartel Chronicles. If you're not familiar with Brandon, listen to his cascade of intrigue as a former left activist who became an FBI informant and infiltrator in an effort to root out crimes in some leftist organizations. He also provides a brilliant overview of the "opportunistic endeavors" running amok during the unfortunate and tragic murder of George Floyd. Seasoned, organized provocateurs pulling strings to manipulate youngsters into action? Yes, says Brandon. You'll also hear him lay out the evolutionary case for the Occupy to Antifa transformation. Even more revealing (and scary) is Brandon's view that the FBI is seemingly focused on stopping right of center groups while letting Antifa and left of center groups get a pass. Why? He's not sure. This episode is white hot. To stay in touch and up to date on the battle for values, rights, andvoting integrity, visit truethevote.org.

Today on @ChosenGenerationRadio Don Jans Author Goodbye Constitution Freedom America and expert on Marxism is also a world traveler who has visited the countries either influenced by Marx in their past or under its bondage now. In addition he has been to the infamous Concentration Camps. So when AOC mouths off about the conditions at our border he is offended at the obtuse nature of her comments. Anti Semitic and hateful are her words in demeaning the experience of holocaust survivors who lived through those horrific years. Shame on her!! Justin Danhof Counsel for the National Center for Policy Research and leader in the Free Enterprise project reports on his battle that was waged in the Google stock holder meeting when Google was called out for its bias and its support of leftist hate groups. Scott Uehlinger retired CIA Station Chief in Moscow joins us to continue to unpack the Mueller witch hunt and the political weaponizing of political assets and spies against the current President of the United States when he was the political opponent of the sitting President of the USA and how that administration abused its power at the highest levels and how that has now poisoned the FBI, CIA, State Department and other agencies to levels that we were previously unaware. Brandon Darby Managing Director Breitbart Texas co founder Cartel Chronicles discusses the on going violence at the border that no one is covering.

Michelle discusses the impact on our system.

We get his thoughts on the wall and the Presidents Emergency Powers declaration. David Shestokas Constitutional and Trial Lawyer joins us to discuss the revelations this week that Andrew McCabe has said the DOJ and Rod Rosenstein had meetings to discuss the removal of the President using the 25th Amendment. This could be a treasonous act. We also discuss the provision in the new bill giving cities along the border who have a history of corruption with the Gulf Cartel being able to stop the building of the wall with funds in the bill. Does that effect the use of funds through Emergency Powers. Brandon Darby is the managing director and editor-in-chief of Breitbart Texas. He co-founded the Cartel Chronicles project with Ildefonso Ortiz and Stephen K. Bannon. Brandon discusses the provision that gives amnesty to potential drug dealers and gang and cartel members.
