[00:00:00] You can see the smoke emerging [00:00:03] was one of the cities that was [00:00:04] effectively taken over by the cartels. [00:00:06] In international news, the biggest story [00:00:09] internationally over the weekend is this [00:00:11] extraordinary [00:00:13] civil war that is apparently blown up in [00:00:15] Mexico. According to the Wall Street [00:00:18] Journal, Mexico's military killed the [00:00:19] country's most powerful drug kingpin, [00:00:21] Nessio Meno Asigua, escalating the [00:00:24] government's war against cartels amid [00:00:25] pressure from President Trump to curb [00:00:27] narcotics trafficking and sparking a [00:00:29] widespread violent gang response. [00:00:32] Ogua is a former Mexican police officer [00:00:34] and was the leader of the Halisco New [00:00:36] Generation Cartel. The cartel also [00:00:39] controls vast fuel smuggling schemes and [00:00:42] other underworld rackets across Mexico [00:00:43] and the United States. According to the [00:00:45] Mexican authorities, his killing marks [00:00:47] the most significant operation yet in [00:00:48] Mexico's recent crackdown on cartels. [00:00:51] Mexican President Claudia Shinbomb has [00:00:53] expelled more than 100 convicted drug [00:00:54] traffickers to the United States to [00:00:57] their arrest. She's trying to prevent [00:00:59] direct US military involvement in going [00:01:02] after the leaders of drug cartels. [00:01:04] Mexico's security ministry said the [00:01:06] country's special forces killed Oigua in [00:01:09] the rural municipality of Talpa, [00:01:12] which is apparently close to a lakeshore [00:01:14] community with a large American retiree [00:01:16] community. [00:01:18] White House press secretary Caroline [00:01:19] Levit said Agueroa was a top target for [00:01:22] the Mexican and US governments and of [00:01:24] course last year President Trump had [00:01:26] designated his cartel as a foreign [00:01:28] terrorist organization. [00:01:30] He controlled Osugua vast swavs of [00:01:33] territory in the Hadisco state and [00:01:35] beyond and was known for sophisticated [00:01:37] paramilitary tactics. He basically has [00:01:38] his own army. There was a $15 million US [00:01:41] bounty on him. He was mostly at this [00:01:44] mountain compound and he had again an [00:01:48] entire failank of people protecting him [00:01:51] known as the special force of the high [00:01:52] command. They had heat-seeking shoulder [00:01:54] fired rocket launchers. [00:01:58] So again, the goal here was to appease [00:02:00] the United States, to go after the [00:02:01] cartels. This is a change in policy [00:02:03] driven by President Trump. No question. [00:02:04] I mean, here in November 2025 is Claudia [00:02:06] Shinbomb saying that fighting the [00:02:07] cartels is not an option. And yet now [00:02:09] here is the Mexican government fighting [00:02:10] the cartels. [00:02:15] Says returning to the war against the [00:02:17] narco is not an option. It is not an [00:02:20] option. [00:02:22] First, because it is outside the [00:02:24] framework of the law. [00:02:26] All these of the right wing that fill [00:02:27] their mouths or the words of rule of law [00:02:32] and defend the war against the narco. [00:02:35] The war against the narco is outside the [00:02:38] law because as I said or have said [00:02:42] on several occasions it is permission to [00:02:44] kill without any trial. Okay. Well, it [00:02:47] seems that she has changed her mind [00:02:49] about all of that. Now, what's amazing [00:02:51] about this is that actually Osaggua [00:02:53] spent several years in the United [00:02:54] States. Yes, she was in jail in the [00:02:57] United States for 3 years, convicted of [00:02:59] selling heroin and serving 3 years in a [00:03:02] California prison. He was then deported [00:03:03] to Mexico where he married the daughter [00:03:05] of a boss of a Sinaloa affiliated gang. [00:03:07] Imagine if he had just stayed in the [00:03:09] United States. He could be running [00:03:10] around free today. By 2011, he was [00:03:12] leading his own organization based in [00:03:14] Halisco State. and he had recently made [00:03:17] an alliance with the Sinaloa faction [00:03:18] known as the Chapitos which is fighting [00:03:20] a civil war with a rival gang. The [00:03:22] killing of Asagua may unleash gigantic [00:03:24] civil war in this particular region. [00:03:27] There are other neighboring regions [00:03:29] where a civil war is already effectively [00:03:30] underway. The cartels immediately [00:03:32] started stopping all traffic in Halisco [00:03:36] and started burning cars. Now, it's not [00:03:40] apparent at this point how many, if any, [00:03:42] people have been killed, but the [00:03:43] pictures and videos that are emerging [00:03:46] pretty clear that they are demonstrating [00:03:47] they have control of the city. That [00:03:49] seems to be the goal here. [00:03:53] And again, Puerto Varta, which is [00:03:55] located in this area, was one of the [00:03:58] cities that was effectively taken over [00:04:00] by the cartels. [00:04:02] According to the Wall Street Journal, [00:04:03] the cartel is considered the country's [00:04:05] most powerful organized crime group, one [00:04:06] that doesn't shy away from conspicuous [00:04:08] violence to send a message. On Sunday, [00:04:10] its gunman shattered the peace in [00:04:11] Mexico's premier Pacific peach beach [00:04:13] destination among the wealthiest places [00:04:15] in Halisco State. Of course, Puerto [00:04:18] Varta, I've actually been there on a [00:04:21] cruise. I mean, like it is a very [00:04:22] frequently trafficked place. A lot of [00:04:24] cruise ships stop in Puerto Varta and [00:04:26] you can see the smoke emerging. [00:04:29] Now, there were a bunch of AI videos [00:04:31] that were coming out. people supposedly [00:04:32] being shot in the streets. That [00:04:33] apparently is not true. It seems that [00:04:35] this is more of an intimidation tactic [00:04:37] than anything else by the cartels to [00:04:39] demonstrate that there is a plan in [00:04:41] place to take over the mechanisms of law [00:04:43] and order in these areas. [00:04:46] This has been a long time coming [00:04:47] obviously [00:04:49] and we'll have to see how all of it [00:04:51] unfolds. It may very well be that the [00:04:53] Mexican government requires the help of [00:04:55] the United States to knock off some more [00:04:58] leaders of these cartels and take [00:04:59] control of the actual country south of [00:05:01] our border. Meanwhile, in other news [00:05:03] over the weekend, so according to the Ky [00:05:05] markets, 31% of people believe that [00:05:08] Gavin Newsome is the front runner for [00:05:10] the Democratic nomination. [00:05:12] AOC clocking in at 10%, Kla Harris at [00:05:15] 6%. So, people not taking seriously [00:05:17] those polls with with Kamla as as the [00:05:19] leader. [00:05:21] Gavin Newsome, your front runner on [00:05:23] Cali, uh he made a bit of a boo a boo [00:05:25] boo over the weekend. He he was speaking [00:05:28] to a black audience and proceeded to [00:05:30] explain that he was like them because he [00:05:32] did poorly on the SATs. My dude, not not [00:05:37] we're going to we're going to go no on [00:05:38] this one and no from me, dog. [00:05:42] I'm not you know I'm not trying to [00:05:44] impress you. I'm just trying to impress [00:05:46] upon you. I'm like you. I'm no better [00:05:50] than you. You know, I'm a 960 SAT guy.

That's a hell of [00:06:21] a pitch to the black community. Well [00:06:22] done there, Gavin Newsome. Oh boy. Oh [00:06:26] boy. Well, those are your 2028 front [00:06:30] runners according to Calry Markets, AOC [00:06:32] and Gavin Newsome. I'm not that short, [00:06:34] but you know what is short, this clip.
