Podcasts about cartels

When lies ignite chaos, truth becomes the only defense. Tara exposes how the “Trump the dictator” narrative collapsed live on MSNBC after the liberal Ninth Circuit Court confirmed his National Guard deployment was fully legal. From Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker's incendiary claims to celebrity rants comparing Trump officials to Nazis, Tara breaks down how false talking points are radicalizing the left and leading to open calls for violence — including shocking remarks from the president of Colombia suggesting Trump should be “taken out.” The episode also dives into cartel infiltration, a massive AWS outage that revealed America's digital vulnerability, and election updates in South Carolina.

Tara dives deep into the state of America today, exploring high-stakes issues from illegal immigration and deadly semi-truck crashes to international drug cartels and political intrigue. She dissects Supreme Court cases on gun rights and drug use, uncovers alleged FBI involvement in cartel operations, and breaks down threats against former President Trump. Through investigative reporting, historical context, and firsthand analysis, this episode exposes the dangerous intersections of crime, politics, and policy in modern America.

Tara unpacks a wide-ranging episode covering immigration, public safety, international drug cartels, and political accountability. From a fatal semi-truck crash in Indiana caused by an unlicensed illegal immigrant, to the history of wine and fermentation as a survival tool, to Supreme Court debates on gun rights and drug use, no topic is off-limits. The episode also dives into alleged connections between the FBI, the Sinaloa cartel, and political operatives, while highlighting threats against former President Trump and the ongoing battle over voter integrity. A mix of investigative reporting, historical context, and contemporary politics paints a vivid, high-stakes picture of modern America.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior kick off the week with a fiery breakdown of the latest legal and geopolitical moves shaking the nation. From the Ninth Circuit's ruling that Trump can deploy the National Guard to Portland, to the ongoing James Comey legal fallout, the duo dives deep into how these court decisions could redefine presidential authority and expose deep state hypocrisy. They connect the dots between Judge appointments, DOJ corruption, and why John Bolton's case might blow the media narrative wide open. Alpha brings his law enforcement insight to the Supreme Court's new gun rights case while CannCon takes aim at Colombia's narco ties and Trump's bold threats to shut down foreign drug operations. The episode wraps with sharp geopolitical takes on Gaza, Ukraine, and the quiet power signals coming from the U.S. military. Brutally honest, fast-paced, and full of laughs, this episode of Badlands Daily proves no topic is too big, or too dangerous, for these two patriots.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes how Mexican cartels are learning drone warfare in Ukraine, Trump's new covert operation in Venezuela, and China's growing stranglehold on the world's rare earth supply. We also cover plans for an international force in Gaza, Trump's expanding bailout of Argentina, and the return of U.S. manufacturing jobs.   Cartels Train for Drone Warfare: Mexican and Colombian cartels are sending members to Ukraine to study drone combat and jamming evasion. These skills could soon target U.S. cities and law enforcement. Bryan warns, “When the next 9/11 happens, it may come from people we already know — using tech we helped build.”   Trump Targets Venezuela's Narco Regime: The President authorized CIA and Special Operations units to act against the Maduro government and its Cartel de los Soles network. The finding allows covert lethal force against designated terrorists, marking the most aggressive U.S. posture toward Venezuela in decades.   China's Rare Earth Power Play: Beijing tightened its export limits on critical minerals, shaking global markets. G7 leaders blasted Xi Jinping for weaponizing trade, while Trump's team vowed to counter with new mining and tariffs.   International Force for Gaza: Indonesia, Egypt, Qatar, the UAE, and Azerbaijan are preparing a stabilization mission as Hamas factions turn on rival clans. Bryan warns, “It may get far worse before it gets better.”   Argentina and the Fight Against Socialism: Trump doubled U.S. aid to $40 billion to back Javier Milei and block China's influence in South America, calling it “a bet on freedom.”   Manufacturing Returns Home: Jeep maker Stellantis and Whirlpool announced new multibillion-dollar U.S. investments, marking major wins for Trump's reshoring plan and America's industrial revival.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Mexican cartels Ukraine drone training, Trump covert action Venezuela, China rare earth exports G7 response, Gaza International Stabilization Force, Trump Argentina Milei bailout, Stellantis U.S. factory investment, Whirlpool Ohio reshoring jobs

Steve sits down with Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, for a hard-hitting conversation about growing threats against America's law enforcement. Cartels are now reportedly putting bounties on ICE agents and other officers, offering tiered payouts based on rank, targeting those who protect our borders and our safety. They also expose how protesters are being paid and organized by shadow groups to fuel chaos, and tackle the disturbing rise of men exploiting transgender identity to access women's spaces.

Cartels putting bounties on ICE, CBP, and DHS. Antifa operating like a network, not a “random protest.” And Blue-city leaders pushing back harder on law enforcement than on criminals. Todd breaks down how these threads tie together into one theme: lawlessness versus order. We talk border failures, Chicago's chaos, Glenn Beck's intel on Antifa, and why constitutional conservatives share more in common with many left-of-center Americans than with the radical fringe driving today's narrative. Plus: a quick happy birthday shout to Oz and a reminder to align your money with your values. Conservative. Not bitter. Buckle up.

DHS says Cartels have been placing bounties on the heads of ICE agents. Trump announced that the US smoked another drug boat, the 4th one so far. ICE arrested an illegal alien pedophile in Virginia. The State Department revoked six visas of people who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination. Oregon is giving illegal aliens healthcare costing more than the budget of the State Police. President Trump officially posthumously awarded Charlie Kirk with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.   Join UNGOVERNED on LFA TV every MONDAY - FRIDAY from 10am to 11am EASTERN!    www.FarashMedia.com www.LFATV.us www.OFPFarms.com www.SLNT.com/SHAWN

Le trafic de drogues n'épargne aucun continent. Avec cette mondialisation du narco business toujours plus avancée, les chaînes d'approvisionnement s'étendent, les routes se diversifient et la chasse aux cartels se renforce.

Scott Watson talks with former FBI agent Martin Suarez and author Ian Fritch about drug cartels and their impact on America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this explosive episode, we connect the dots between domestic chaos, cartel operations, and international hostage deals. From alleged FBI partnerships with the Sinaloa cartel to threats against Americans and border agents, we analyze how policy, politics, and enforcement intersect with real-world violence. We also examine the controversial Middle East hostage swap, exploring why the release of over 1,700 Hamas operatives could have dire consequences despite the recovery of hostages. With insights into U.S. military positioning, election politics, and federal law enforcement history, this episode breaks down the stakes for America and the world. Expect a deep dive into: cartel influence in the U.S., border security, political narratives, election fears, and the implications of international peace deals gone wrong.

From deadly California wildfires and Arson to secret Chinese SIM card operations capable of crippling U.S. infrastructure, today's episode dives into the headlines that shake the nation. We explore government mismanagement, climate policy failures, the rise of Antifa as a global threat, foreign espionage, bioweapons, and the high-stakes military and geopolitical decisions involving Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, and beyond. No spin, just a clear-eyed look at the crises and plots shaping American lives.

The cartel war isn't just across the border anymore — it's here. In this episode, the hosts dive into explosive revelations about FBI collusion with the Sinaloa cartel, how Democrats allegedly fueled trafficking networks, and why recent threats against Americans mark a dangerous turning point. From cartel banners in Baja California to Trump's military maneuvers in the Gulf, the conversation exposes the high stakes of dismantling cartel networks and the political battles raging around them. Listeners will also hear why critics say Democratic leaders are shielding cartel-linked illegals, how state officials like JB Pritzker are spinning federal enforcement as “attacks on democracy,” and what Trump's show of military force may signal for Venezuela and beyond. This is raw, urgent, and deeply unsettling — a glimpse into what some are calling America's third war.

The Sinaloa Cartel made the bulk of its money on cocaine. But cartels are diversifying into new operations including things like wildlife trafficking. Think sharks, jaguars, capybaras. The result is something called “narco-degradation.” On today's show, we look at what's driving cartels beyond drugs and how this is wreaking havoc on ecosystems in Central America.Related episodes: Can breaking the law be good for business? Waste Land Will Economic Growth Destroy the Planet? For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

On today's episode, Andy welcomes back John Nores, a retired California game warden, author, and conservationist known for his frontline work combating cartel operations on U.S. soil. During his 28-year career with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Nores helped pioneer the Marijuana Enforcement Team, targeting environmental crimes tied to drug trafficking on public lands. Together, Andy and John discuss the implications of the USDA's proposal to eliminate the Roadless Rule—a policy that protects millions of acres of public land from logging and road building—and why its potential removal poses a serious threat to both ecosystems and national security. They explore how cartels exploit remote wilderness areas for illegal operations, the growing collaboration between cartels and foreign entities like China, and why both the southern and northern U.S. borders are increasingly vulnerable.

In this explosive episode, we break down the shocking events shaking Washington and Chicago. Senate Democrats block the government reopening—even voting against a budget they've approved 13 times before—while Republicans struggle to pass appropriations bills. We dive into the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill” and Medicaid funding for undocumented immigrants, uncovering how federal dollars are funneled through Democrat-led states. Then, the story turns deadly in Chicago, where the Latin Kings allegedly put a $10,000 hit on an ICE agent amid ICE-free zones declared by Mayor Brandon Johnson. We examine the chilling implications of cartel influence merging with local politics and law enforcement. Finally, we expose the FBI's illegal surveillance under Operation Arctic Frost, where eight Republican senators were spied on without warrants, revealing deep corruption and the limits of Republican control over the federal bureaucracy. From Washington to the streets of Chicago, this episode exposes government dysfunction, cartel ties, and the urgent need for accountability.

In this episode, we unravel the chaotic showdown in Chicago as Democrats paint federal ICE operations as unprecedented “invasions.” We dig into the facts: ICE (formerly INS) has been operating in Chicago for over a century, and the recent conflict stems from attacks on federal buildings—not a sudden power grab. We examine Governor J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson's rhetoric, the legal battle over the National Guard, and the dangerous reality on the streets as Latin Kings gang members allegedly put a $10,000 hit on ICE agents. From bottle rockets and ramming attacks to police stand-downs, this episode exposes the tangled web of politics, crime, and law enforcement in Democrat-run cities. Get a detailed breakdown of what's happening, why it's not “new,” and why understanding the full context matters for law, safety, and accountability.

What happens when cartel-style politics spill across the border? In this episode, we break down the chilling indictment linking the Latin Kings in Chicago to an attempted hit on an ICE agent — a move straight out of Mexico's “assassination season” playbook. From blocked police responses to cartel orders on U.S. soil, the story reveals how deep gang influence runs and raises disturbing questions about political protection, law enforcement stand-downs, and America's vulnerability to cartel-style governance. Is this the future of our cities, or can we stop it before it's too late?

In this explosive episode, we unravel a tangled web of political violence, cartel influence, and government overreach. From a South Carolina judge's home fire sparking rumors of MAGA terrorism, to cartel-style assassination culture reaching Chicago, to revelations of illegal FBI spying on senators and conservative leaders — the stories connect into a bigger picture of power, cover-ups, and chaos. We break down how narratives are weaponized, how cartels and gangs intertwine with U.S. politics, and why unchecked corruption poses a growing threat to America's future.

In this hard-hitting episode, we break down the Senate Democrats' move to block reopening the government — even while hiding behind a budget they've voted for 13 times before. At the heart of the battle: Medicaid funding for undocumented immigrants and the GOP's stalled appropriations fight. But the story doesn't stop in Washington. We connect it to a chilling case in Chicago, where the Latin Kings allegedly put out a $10,000 hit on an ICE agent while police stood down and the mayor declared “ICE-free zones.” From federal dysfunction to cartel-style politics on U.S. soil, this is a wake-up call about corruption, cover-ups, and the dangerous merger of gangs with politics.

In this explosive episode, we break down the shocking failures of the U.S. judicial system, from federal judges allegedly blocking ICE operations to South Carolina's legislature-controlled courts that let violent offenders roam free. We explore how political appointments, liberal judges, and a broken criminal justice system have contributed to rising chaos in American cities, including threats to federal agents and citizens alike. From Judge Emergold's controversial rulings to Trump's deployment of the National Guard, this episode examines the intersection of politics, law enforcement, and cartel influence — and why some claim parts of the U.S. now resemble Mexico when it comes to lawlessness. We also dive into the misinformation around illegal immigrant healthcare, the federal budget, and media narratives shaping public perception. Coming up at 8:00, hear from key voices and experts as the national conversation on law, order, and political corruption heats up.

Its path brings it within about 20 million miles of Mars, but it is currently blocked by the sun. NASA and European teams are attempting to get data using Mars orbiters and rovers, though the resolution may not match Webb's spectroscopy. Europe is also considering re-aiming the Juice mission. 1045-1100 Webb Telescope Challenges Cosmology Theories with 'Little Red Dots' Guest Name: Bob Zimmerman Summary:The Webb Space Telescope is finding mysterious "little red dots" in the very early universe, observed via infrared due to redshift.

In this explosive episode, we tackle the media-fueled myth of “America's greatest free speech martyr” James Comey, the reality of federal censorship, and how court settlements for Trump expose government overreach. We break down Nancy Pelosi's denial of Medicaid funding for undocumented immigrants, the Democrats' crumbling media influence, and Joy Reid's unusual “definition” of fascism. Then, we dive into Trump's Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, taking on violent cartel-connected criminal networks hiding behind sanctuary city politics, and how Democrat leaders react while law enforcement tries to keep communities safe.
