Podcasts about cartels

The Biden administration hands $3.4 billion to the Taliban in saran-wrapped cash, ignores American hostages, and secretly flies in illegal immigrants—then demands gang members get court hearings while our own are left to rot. In this explosive breakdown, we connect the dots between liberal judges setting dangerous legal precedent, cartel-tied youth crime taking over cities like Albuquerque, and the media's silence on the real victims. It's not about one gang member—it's about flooding the system, freezing Trump's deportations, and locking in permanent Democrat power. This isn't chaos—it's the plan.

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.

"This globalist ruling class that has failed so miserably politically in Europe is doing everything in its power to build up this phony threat in Russia," says Col. Douglas Macgregor in this explosive conversation with Daniela Cambone. He breaks down why Europe is unraveling, how China is reshaping global dominance, and why Russia isn't the aggressor it's made out to be. Drawing on history and the philosophy of Solzhenitsyn, Macgregor argues that Russia is focused inward—on building a strong, unified state, not invading its neighbors. He also weighs in on Trump's latest tariffs, warning that they won't work in today's transformed global economy: “The problem is that the world that he knew just four or five years ago has changed radically in economic terms…I don't think the tariffs are going to make any difference to the Chinese at all.”Questions on Protecting Your Wealth with Gold & Silver?

In 1664, England decided to invade the Dutch-controlled city of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York, had dreams of empire, and their archrivals, the Dutch, were in the way. But Richard Nicolls, the military officer who led the English flotilla bent on destruction, changed his strategy once he encountered Peter Stuyvesant, New Netherland's canny director general. Bristling with vibrant characters, Taking Manhattan reveals the founding of New York to be an invention, the result of creative negotiations that would blend the multiethnic, capitalistic society of New Amsterdam with the power of the rising English empire. But the birth of what might be termed the first modern city is also a story of the brutal dispossession of Native Americans and of the roots of American slavery. The book draws from newly translated materials and illuminates neglected histories―of religious refugees, Indigenous tribes, and free and enslaved Africans. Taking Manhattan tells the riveting story of the birth of New York City as a center of capitalism and pluralism, a foundation from which America would rise. It also shows how the paradox of New York's origins―boundless opportunity coupled with subjugation and displacement―reflects America's promise and failure to this day. Russell Shorto, whose work has been described as "astonishing" (New York Times) and "literary alchemy" (Chicago Tribune), has once again mined archival sources to offer a vibrant tale and a fresh and trenchant argument about American beginnings. 115-1130 2/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) 1130-1145 3/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) 1145-1200 4/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 #NewWorldReport: Tariffs and Mexico and Brazil.

Richard Tomlin of Apex Auto Works takes us behind the scenes of high-performance vehicle builds and international racing adventures that push the boundaries of what's possible. From a meticulously restored Panos destined for a private museum to unconventional engine swaps that challenge conventional wisdom, Richard's projects showcase the ingenuity that defines passionate automotive specialists.The heart of our conversation reveals the calculated risks automotive enthusiasts take when pursuing their passion. Despite Mexico being under a Level 4 travel warning with cartels recently classified as terrorist groups, Richard explains why his team still plans to participate in their upcoming Mexican road racing event. "Where we're going, it's not usually a case," he notes, distinguishing between their federale-protected route and the more isolated desert racing that occurs elsewhere. This fascinating risk assessment offers listeners an authentic glimpse into how automotive enthusiasts balance passion with practicality.We explore why certain racing events simply can't happen on American soil, with Richard lamenting that "US laws don't allow us to play like that," revealing how regulatory and insurance hurdles force enthusiasts to look beyond borders for certain experiences. This juxtaposition of American caution versus international opportunity presents a thought-provoking dimension to automotive culture rarely discussed in mainstream conversations.The episode rounds out with a journey through automotive history, including the birth of the Chevrolet Caprice, the legendary Shelby GT350H "Rent-a-Racer" program, and how unexpected events like the Three Mile Island nuclear accident shaped automotive design trends by influencing fuel economy regulations.Whether you're a dedicated gearhead or simply curious about the lengths people will go for their automotive passions, this episode offers invaluable insights into the calculated risks, creative solutions,Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!ProAm Auto AccessoriesProAm Auto Accessories: "THE" place to go to find exclusive and hard to find parts and accessories!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The trafficking of weapons meant for warzones often involves complex networks of arms dealers, corrupt officials, and organized crime groups. Here's a summary of how this process generally unfolds:AcquisitionConflict Zones: Weapons are initially acquired from conflict zones, where they are often plentiful due to ongoing wars or civil unrest.Military Surplus: Arms dealers obtain surplus weapons from military stockpiles. These might be obsolete or excess to the needs of the armed forces.Black Market: Weapons can also be sourced from the black market, where they are sold illegally by corrupt military personnel or officials.TransportationSmuggling Routes: Arms dealers use established smuggling routes to transport weapons. These routes often overlap with those used for drug trafficking.Bribes and Corruption: Bribes are paid to corrupt border officials, customs agents, and police to facilitate the smooth transit of weapons across borders.Disguised Shipments: Weapons are hidden in shipments of legal goods, such as food or machinery, to avoid detection.DistributionCriminal Networks: Weapons are sold to organized crime groups, gangs, or other non-state actors. These groups use their existing distribution networks to move the weapons further.Drug Cartels: Arms dealers often trade weapons directly for drugs. This is particularly common in regions where drug cartels operate, as they have both the resources and the demand for firearms.Barter System: In some cases, weapons are bartered for other illicit goods or services, including drugs, making it a mutually beneficial exchange for both parties.Final Sale or TradeEnd Users: The end users of these trafficked weapons can range from gang members and drug cartels to terrorist organizations and insurgent groups.Profit Generation: The sale or trade of weapons for drugs allows arms dealers to profit significantly, which they reinvest into further illegal activities.Market Dynamics: The illicit arms market is influenced by supply and demand. As conflicts flare up or as the need for drugs increases, the trafficking patterns and prices fluctuate accordingly.ImpactViolence and Instability: The influx of trafficked weapons exacerbates violence and instability in both conflict zones and areas plagued by drug-related crime.Enforcement Challenges: Law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in tracking and intercepting these illegal arms due to the sophisticated methods used by traffickers.About a year ago we were having the discussion about MANPADS and other shoulder fired systems falling into the hands of the cartels and the legacy media was quick to deny it.   Well, like usual, it would seem as if the legacy media wasn't exactly telling you the truth.    So in this episode, we are going to swim through the muck and find some clarity.(commercial at 12:59)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Mexican cartels boast of increased firepower, including U.S. weapons (usatoday.com)

Glenn tells the heartbreaking story of a Texas rancher who was killed by a suspected cartel IED while he was driving near his ranch. Glenn lays out the importance of standing up against the cartels, who are so willing to take the lives of our own. It's simple: The cartels are terrorists, and we must treat them as such.
