Episode notes
Mexico Has Become A Narco Insurgency
- Brandon Darby argues Mexico is a failed narco-state where CJNG operates as a paramilitary insurgency rather than a traditional cartel.
- He details CJNG tactics: armored vehicles, RPGs, drones, public hangings, and infiltration of police and military.
Avoid Traveling To Mexico During Cartel Retaliation
- Glenn Beck advises Americans to avoid travel to Mexico right now because cartel retaliation and chaos spike after leadership hits.
- He warns power vacuums increase violence and tells listeners to get friends and family out of Mexico.
Decapitation Fragments Cartels Then Weakens Them
- Brandon Darby predicts decapitation of cartels leads to fragmentation, short-term violence, then long-term weakening of centralized cartel power.
- He compares Gulf Cartel decline to a future where Jalisco's regional power shrinks to local gangs.
