"If you go into someone's pocket, you're not climbing out". Brilliant.
I have so much respect for this man. Twelve years and he managed to stay clean and for that he gets to live daily with ptsd and a broken family. Xx
Nah, he was part of Cartel
i grew up in Guadalajara, when Chapo pretty much reigned the whole country, and to hear Ed's stories its just awesome. im glad we have somebody that can speak up and let the others know what Mexico is really like.
I thought El Chapo was just a fall guy or are you talking about someone else?
@@419buckeye7 early 2000's he was the main guy in all of Mexico
@@chilangua I just remember ed saying he was never the leader of Sinaloa and was kind of a fall guy but I'm not from Mexico so I have no idea except what I get from stuff like this
@@419buckeye7he said he was like the second or third man. Not the main guy but still he had to be pretty cruel to intimidate and inflict fear at such a high level.😰🤷🏽♀️
Arriba Jalisco!
I live in San Diego and regularly do business in Mexico. This is one of the best pieces I have ever seen that realistically breaks down both the enormous challenges and potential of the country.
This channel is seriously like REAL NEWS. It’s great, amazing job Pat and everyone at Valuetainment.
It's unbelievable really what he has accomplished. Putting out the most interesting content on the internet or in media in many ways.
You are so right Kurtis this is the best place to get information about true knowledge of all kinds except I am still trying to decide about the Aliens ,Lol !
Calderon is a CIA operative
@@elpatron7916 AFO's own Ed.. Wrong alphabets but close..;)
Facts
A moment of respect for this hero Lieutenant Colonel Julián Leyzaola, who put his life at risk and became paralyzed so he can save his people from the cartels. 🥺🙏
Is he still a fugitive ?
@@RM-pg4js Fugitive? He has never been on the run last I'm aware. He has been investigated for brutal tactics, but in that world, you can't be nice guy.
The incorruptible cops in Mexico are dead, Ed was a corrupt cop. He's been exposed by O.G shadow. It is what it is. The entire police force is paid from top to bottom. Ed a fraud.

Every time I think, “that was an excellent Valuetainment video,” there’s one I haven’t seen and tops it. Excellent, excellent interview subject...I’ve been to various parts of Mexico over 30 years and it’s a place that fascinates as well as terrifies me. As long as we gringos have an addiction and corrupt leaders who turn a blind eye to trafficking...this will never end.
Like you said.. never will end lolol
Did you just try to blame Gringos? 🖕🏻🤠🤦🏻♂️ #Tard
Supply follows demand 🆖🐓
🤯 Pat's interview style is fantastic coverage. I appreciate the ability to watch for an hour and not be bombarded with ads.
so glad you finally got to talk to Ed Calderon, this guy needs more exposure.
Thinking the same thing.
Ed is the man. Look up eds manifesto, libre fighting system
Exposure as the CIA operative that he is
Never heard of him till this interview
The incorruptible cops in Mexico are dead, Ed was a corrupt cop. He's been exposed by O.G shadow. It is what it is, death or take a bribe, I'd take a bribe too. The entire police force is paid from top to bottom. Ed a fraud.
"If you climb into anyone's pocket you ain't coming out" -Ed Calderon
Ain't that the truth in any situation.
That was said to Malcom X when he was gonna tell people to Nationalize from black to Moors. "Get yo hand out my pocket". Only by agreeing to be labeled blacks can they be legally taxed and their lands seized. Moors (from Morocco which stretched to America B4 Atlantis sunk) are protected in the Treaties signed along with the Constitution...but! As long as they agree to be black, shyyt lol. Why yall think ALL politicians become millionaires. Cuz they all sellouts
America style of living
@@joannaj.s.9745 there is no atlantis. everything you say is now suspect.
@@gwho it sunk. That's why an ocean is named after it. All religions call it the great floods. You sound suspect. You must be F.b.i., c.i.a., informant, ignorant, or all the above.
@@joannaj.s.9745 we dont need blacks in America
This man is truly brave speaking out about how things really are, people need to know the truth,and most cannot speak out.
Great interview Patrick! fyi, I am a Culiacan Sinaloa native came to California since age 6 in 1980 and you are big motivational speaker for me. I have a small real-estate business here in Los Angeles and listening to your videos and feeding off your confidence, motivates me to expand.
I'm proud of you being a sinaloense that made it in California, it has been hard for me , I'm from mazatlan and it's hard because we are always put aside as either drug dealers and or contract killers , and not many times they want to give you big opportunities just for being from a state with such a fame, I'm in the house remodeling field and I have been trying hard to make it ever since I got here.
Good for you 👍 I applaud your success 🙌 👏
@@ManuelTorres-rq1iw Made it??? .. Too many illegals in USA!!! .. why would you leave beautiful mazatlan.. ? Because your people allow bad people .. (Zero Integrity) with no hope without US military intervention..
What Patrick said about us Mexicans at the end, made me tear up. He's been around Mexican people, he knows how we truly are. I have middle eastern friends, there's a reason we get along so well.
Mexico reminds me in many ways some of the middle eastern countries.
@@sambassil7825 Lol.
He's Persian. Also an accomplished U.S. soldier. Middle Eastern Arabs are rude, cold acting people. Mexican and most Hispanic people are a much more kind family oriented people.

This RUclips channel is one of the best on youtube.
It is. It just always gets at me that his name is Patrick. . from Iran?
Hell yeah. Love ❤️ it
Yosef Cardoso Valuetainment is one of the best on YT
Since you already said this RUclips channel, you dont say on RUclips. It's either "this channel is one of the best on youtube" or "this youtube channel is one of the best"
Underrated Channel
I have always wondered how many of our politicians in the US are on the cartel's payrolls.
Probably none in the sense that you're thinking of, they just turn a blind eye to it all, then when a big enough fish comes along or they catch wind of a big shipment crossing the boarder, they start fishing.....because drug money that gets seized is automatically property of the state.
Why end a drug war when at the end of the day, you can just take someone's millions and turn around and say "this money is now ours.... You're off to prison"
I have a theory that the U.S. goverment supports the Sinaloa Cartel or at least dosent go after them as hard as other cartels in order to mantain some type of control in the neighboring nation. The Sinaloa Cartel is the biggest and the only cartel that promotes and actively seeks order and peace in the territoy it controls.
Pelosi and fienstien were against the wall because they get $$$$$ from the cartel.
Have you been under a rock? 😆
Research the following topics: CIA cocaine trafficking, Gary Webb, Freeway Rick Ross etc.
@@justcause7521 any proof or are you just talking out your ass?
Ed’s insight is beyond measurable. Glad he gets to tell his story
This interview is far superior to what I would call excellent.
We Americans hear thoughout our lives how bad it is in Mexico but an EXTREMELY HIGH percentage of us really don't have a clue.
This interview sheds a very bright spotlight on the realities of THE TRUTH of what these unfortunate human beings have to deal with every second of everyday.
"If you go into somebody's pocket your not climbing out" # China
Right on target 🎯
Fuck China!
Found the trump supporter
@JFK good luck when that happens if they kill there own people what they going to do to the rest.....americans like being free they will kills to keep it that way
China tried to invade Mexico in past history. Not to mention that Mexico has Uranium that isn't being used that much by nuclear sources.
Valuetainment is the undisputed champ of interviews 🥊
Pretty much the only interviewer I’m not resentful of.. ie me thinking I can do their job but better. I love this dude like a cousin.
100% agree. Joe Rogan only has good guests like 1x per month
WURD UP!
@@colin9630 Agreed. Although, his podcast with Ed was good.
If you liked this interview with Ed, go check out his interview with ex navy seal Shawn Ryan on his channel vigilance elite...
Probably one of the most moving interviews I have seen... Thanks!
Ed is always such a great guest, hope you'd have it again. Great conversation
Ed Calderon in my eyes you are a true Mexican hero , I live many miles away from you (England) but I have so much respect for you , even here in England there is so much corruption in the Police but listening to you gives me hope.
Jamie Robb
You didn’t just make a comparison With the UK police force and the Mexican police did you😳??
The scale of corruption over there is on a different level to ours here in the UK😂😂 there are cases of corruption here just like everywhere but you can’t compare the Corruption in Mexico to the UK that’s just silly
You're wrong. Ministers working for Calderon were corrupt, and it's impossible that Calderon was ignorant about this fact. His "war on drugs" was his way to legitimate his fraudulent election as president, but it was a complete failure. Drug kingpins were detained one day, and liberated the next one. Homicide rate grew exponentially. Violence and the cartels shootings began to be open on the streets. And the army began to kill and torture innocent people by mistake, or make extrajudicial killings of drug traffickers.
Well I'm Native American and growing up on the reservation especially on my reservation my mom had a fight all of the European American females because of their jealousy and their hatred towards Native American people so my mom beat their asses. And whenever my ex would come to the reservation he's half black and half native they always pulled him over just for the simple fact that he's half black. I had my own apartment on the west side of Omak Washington that's the county side not the reservation side and I remember I had this white boyfriend his name was f****** forgot his name but he came by my apartment one day and luckily he did because there was some corrupt police officers who came and tried to say that people were calling the police on me because of loud music and I didn't even have a radio in my apartment. If he wasn't there they probably would have did something to me. Okanogan County Police Department is racist AF and I intend on exposing their b*******
@@campbell3711 Entire police forces have covered for pedophiles in the UK… you’re saying that’s somehow less corrupt?
@@jmmone yeah, much less corrupt
His last interview on the Vigilance Elite podcast was real good!
Amazing
Well the earth is flat so idk
Same
"Wow". -Owen Wilson
That is by far the best interview Ed has ever done
Ed is an amazingly humble, wise, experienced and mesmerizing guest on every show that he's done interviews on. This one was up there with the things he's done with Shawn Ryan-Vigilance Elite & that's a tremendous compliment! 👊🏼💙
This guy is so smart and full of information. Love his interviews.
Thank you for speaking about this, I am a Mexican that lives in the US and this still affects us. My cousin was brutally murder by the cartel, it's really sad.
Condolences for your loss...
Was he involved in “dirty” business and his death was a result of that? Or was he an honest man who just got caught in a cartel crossfire ?
@ben yosep you can say that about every body in America who is not indigenous. All of you either didn't clean your own nations and ran from your own problems OR are descendants of people who did run. I swear the hypocrisy of people is astounding.
@@southernarawak5699 I am the first to bring this to light what year did you start expressing this perspective? Do you have anything published?
@@fjsgte678 Virtue signal much?
I feel really sorry for the genuinely good people of mexico being governed by a massively corrupt government.

@Johnny Ola ignorant fool I wake up at 4 am every day to get ready to work and pay my bills , rent etc and send money to my family in México.
This was an amazing interview and your guest Ed I have only mad respect for him. Listening to Ed talk about the cartels and about his experiences of policing in Mexico was way better than any movie I could watch or book I could read on a policeman's life in Mexico. Just fascinating.
He didn't mention the demand side of the problem. That's the biggest problem.
No me esperaba ésta entrevista, verdaderamente impactante, la realidad supera la ficción.
Muchas felicidades por su trabajo de entrevistador, y al invitado mis respetos.
Ed Calderon is an awesome presenter. I was able to attend a symposium with him this summer and it blew my mind. Patrick once again knocking the ball out of the park.
He's a crooked cop, all cops in Mexico are bent, but a cop like Ed who goes on joe rogan and is able to speak so freely about the cartels will 100% be involved in cartel work. Otherwise he wouldn't be breathing.... Unfortunately you can not trust him
Much respect to Ed. Thank you for your service to your country. Glad you’re here in the USA educating us. Again thanks!
warning us too
He’s brave but being use by the gri his and it’s not cool
@@OscarCastillo-kx3xlgri?
51:07 All of it is fueled by a large country: China.
So true, even during COVID, China was making fentanyl available to Mexico. Nothing illegal happens in China without their government’s control.
"What corrupts the most? Need. Need corrupts the most."
That line stood out to my ears.
Fantastic and very enthralling podcast thank you 🙏
Life in Mexico for the people must be challenging
Straight from the street of Tijuana, Mexico. My man Ed Calderon knows whats up. Joe Rogan has 2 really good podcasts with this gentlemen I recommend.
Saludos!
Try listening to anabel hernandez. Ed just seems like he picks up information from her...
Ed was part of an organized crime. 🤦
@@webtheweb I have, I've read 2 of her books. The recent one about Vicente Zambada Niebla diary. He explains how involved the government was with several cartels. Its crazy, I like her work, she is straight forward. No wonder she was gonna get killed, she knows a lot.
Ed is a fraud he worked for the Tijuana cartel
Es de Tijuana? No escuche todo el video
I've spent much time in Mexico and love the country and people. This story is heartbreaking. Thank you for bring this very brave man on to bring this story to the public. We pray for you.
Is it dangerous to go over there? I want to go but I'm scared of the police over there
@@TheSpynerd yes! Its always been the "police" (policy agents) who have been the major problem. Just like in the U.S.
Much time? Only at the hotel... Eh?
I always enjoy your interviews. Always fascinating. This was my second time watching this episode. I have family there. And it is so different going to certain areas that are so beautiful and peaceful unlike cartel activities that never existed Back In The Day. It's hard to believe all of this is going on now.
The cartels have existed since the 1920 it's just that they were just trafficking heroin and marijuana mainly the woman in Mexico city was like the queen pin of like the drug trafficking in the 40s and they didn't catch her till like the 70s when she goes to Canada and came back to Mexico... It's just that they weren't as prevalent as they are today
Valutainment is - without a doubt - the BEST podcast on the internet. SUPER.
I love this guy , really gives you a sence of how thing are in mexico.
Want to know what Mexico is like, come to los angeles
@@alfredoromero3243 not even close man gtfo lol are you even from LA or have you even been to Mexico please don’t compare the two.
Scary. This happens when Police are not paid enough so they work for the cartel. Because the cartel pays better. Defund the Police, no bueno.
@@therealone4113 obviously you don't seem to be familiar with what la looks like now. I've lived here most of my life (decades). Have you walked through 6th street from McArthur Park to union Ave, Vermont ave 9th street, Pico union, downtown (where you're forced to play hop scotch because you're scared of stepping on crap, pee or needless) how about the fashion district? I suggest take a trip there first before commenting. And yes I've been to Mexico and Central America which are very similar.
@@lovev9904 soon America will 100% end up like Mexico, our Politictions are all Corrupt allready.
I like this guy Ed Calderon.He put his moral values on top of thiese short lived cartel dreams.
God Bless HIm!
i like cartel leaders i'd snitch on 4 the million dollar bounties.
I'm sure he's ashamed of plenty, hence the early retirement...
Go to Vigilance Elite pod cast an watch his interviews there. Ed is such a cool human being an such a wealth of general knowledge an street knowledge an his stories are incredible. I have so much respect for that man. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Aj_470 before you pass judgment you should take the time to watch the rest of his podcast's else were. That man has a set of Morales an principles an principalities you'll never be able to fathom.
I always love to hear from Ed Calderon. You did a great job, thank you!
Loved every moment of this interview/sit down …
I'm a cop, so listening to a former cop interested me. However, w/his intelligence, real world wisdom and experience. He could lead/run my Police Department.
@Cocaine Cowboy Change can happen on a temporary basis, but human nature will never change...
The incorruptible cops in Mexico are dead, Ed was a corrupt cop. He's been exposed by O.G shadow. It is what it is. The entire police force is paid from top to bottom. Ed a fraud.
He can until police corruption shows up.

Forgot how much I liked this channel I’m not a capitalist anymore but damn this guy knows how to conduct an interview !
Holy crap. This channel has more newsworthy topics than any other news agency I've ever seen. Genuinely amazing work. Please keep it up!
It was an amazing interview, I was glued to my phone. He is describes things so clearly, he is well spoken and as you said great storyteller.👍👍👍
I can't get enough of Ed. Dude is such a wealth of knowledge. I have a doctorate in Eds youtube videos.
1:03:16 Oregon did not legalize everything. They decriminalized it. There is a BIG difference.
Great interview. This man seems authentic, honest and full of information and insight!
Just found this channel yesterday and I love these interviews.
The interviewer is courteous and inquisitive to his guests and what I find most refreshing is that he seems unbiased
Calderon is a gift to us all. What an eye opening interview thank you for braving us with your knowledge and perspective!!
Real interviews! Breath of fresh air! Thank you so much!
I love this guy’s interviews. Hes been on JRE too.

Ya right he works for Sinaloa
@@anon681 how do u know ?
Much Respect to your guest.. from a native in S. Arizona. A good man
You guys are our heroes. What darkness has plagued this country! Be blessed and be well.
I've watched Ed here and on Vigilance Elite. I have lived in AZ for 50 years and I see what he says having been through TJ and Nogales and all the way South to San Carlos many times as 100% true and correct. Living here and not planning on leaving I fear the Chinese influence in Mexico as a destabilizing force facing North. There's no doubt the Chinese have infiltrated Canada and are now in Mexico in an attempt to surround the US. The same tactic was taken by the US to surround Iran on three sides which is why Iran turned to Russia. What we forget as Americans is to safeguard our own back yard against infiltration, demoralization through media campaigns and illicit drugs being pumped North. America needs to be very friendly and open with Mexico and almost make a regional worker program along with a free trade zone so that people can flow across the boarder in both directions AND the US Military should be used to provide security as surety to the people. That would put the coyotes out of business, create new legit businesses on both sides of the boarder. I love the Mexican people I've encountered living here and in Mexico, their culture is deep and rich, the food is fantastic, the people work hard and are trustworthy.
Yeah I've seen him on Shawn Ryan's show a few times too. It's crazy how in one interview he says, "my world has ended several times over, and I come here with warnings of the apocalypse." He also mentions to Shawn that there has been a recent Cartel killing in the US! Crazy. We better heed this man, keep our police funded and in good morale, and turn the tide of corruption and barbarism!
Imagine 1st country got that is influence is Mongolia how hard it is there now lol, everyone's gonna get Chinese taste I guess, it's kind of hard to stop that now
I just want to know how he speaks perfect English without even a hit of a Spanish accent if he migrated to the US in his 30's? Fascinating.
People who live on the border are more exposed to english and grow up hearing it and talking it at a younger age.
He grew up in Tijuana you learn both languages and cultures in schools
He grow up in the border is really common
I speak Thai & Mandarin without / little accent. My exposure was only Cantonese not Thai nor Mandarin.
If you pretend your “xyz” native... you can speak like a native.
If you want to speak Swahili ... pretend you a Black, Swahili native, including mannerisms, nuances ... and voice style.
Mimicking is how children learn. If you mimic... you’ll learn fast, but your inner identity will be challenged.
Simply pretend your more then one person and that’s okay. Argue with yourself, if you don’t like my offering of skill to you.
Be well-
I LOVED this interview!!!
One of the best interviews on the channel.
this guy needs a movie, im serious, this might be one of the few stories id see in the movie theatres... amazing!
He reminds me of the Benicio Del Toro character in Traffic
Thanks Pat. As a guy from Reynosa this dude speak the true. You can tell the love he still has for his hometown.
REYNOSA RIFA
Really really great interview!
RUclips should be very happy to have this channel be part of the family
Another high standard interview. Great talk Patrick.
Patrick’s Spanish pronunciation is on point!! 👍👌
Maybe because he also has an accent from the Middle East. Good to hear hit though like it too.
He has lived in California and Texas most of the time
Arabic and farsi pronunciation uses the back of the throat like Spanish. It’s not impressive at all, he’s got practice.
What a great interview ! I learned a lot from his guest.

My cousin was tortured and killed by CJNG, do not think for a second these cartels are school kids in a playground. They don't fuck about, my cousin was just in the wrong place at the wrong time! He paid the ultimate price. Rip Miguel Dos Santos
"if you go into someones pocket, you are not coming out!"
Once again you blew it out of the park with this interview Pat. One of my top 5 channels for great interviews
Ed is one of the most interesting and intelligent people to be an expert on a complex topic in ANY field of studies. He really knows what he is talking about and he can do it in a way that is compelling as well as understandable for idiots like myself.
I grew up on the Texas border of Laredo! Life across the border in Mexico change over night! It turned into a battle zone and bodies and severed heads were everywhere!!
You want to talk about corruption, how about the proposal to dangle stimulus checks and force vaccinations.
Read “Tragedy and Hope” to help you connect the dots between it all.
Presently being proposed in stimulus talks to offer $1,500 to those who take the jab. WTF These are elected representatives.
Spot on
This guy is a good interview he was on Joe Rogan a couple times...
ya
Watch his interviews on Vigilance Elite pod cast.
Absolutely amazing and insightful interview.
"If you go into someone's pocket, you're NOT climbing out - Ed Calderon" That one gave me chills. Shit!
War on drugs is the dumbest thing ever. End the cartels? Legalize, ID restrictions on sales, and taxes. Cartels go away.
You also need to put into consideration that they don't just sell drugs, they also are quite involved in human trafficking so I don't think is that simple...
@@juancarlosjeanarenas6323 The vast majority of money is in drugs. Undeniable fact. Get addicts out of the shadows, and eliminate the black markets. Also there's no reason prostitution shouldn't be legal. Would greatly eliminate human traffic issues.
Exactly

Hmm, don't get me wrong great interview I truly enjoyed the knowledge and perspective, but hey without having a long drawm out conv., All that mouth smacking an American just because there not aware, go ahead on with that dude, people chose the system they wanna become involved in, yes some are forced by whatever means yes we could go down that rabbit hole, but no, point being, it shouldn't just be and I hate say u, but just anyone that comes to this country with or without your knowledge I don't think should have the attitude that they just wanna push the fact that hey little American you don't know struggle you don t know pain etc. Right most don't and that's great wonderful we don't wanna exp it we're good the knowledge of it is a wonderful thing but to wanna always have the attitude that hey I gotta spread that message well don't spread it to the ones that conform to something that isn't for the better good that has an uneducated view or an egotistical approach to situations that are truly unknown, sorry it's early as hell and I may be losing focus and falling off point, so as a whole I'm not disagreeing but lol, I believe I'll finish this comment after work today, huh, this is strange I know feel as if I'm commenting to my own comment ??weird......
