My best friend, my brother died April 6th 2023 from a drug overdose. I have a part of my family that is from mexico, who came to america in the early 20th century. This an entirely personal conflict for me.
I'm a Canadian that helped move a lot of cocaine a decade ago, so this is personal for me in a different way. Fentanyl showed up in 2012 in northern Canada in fake percocets and oxy 80's...I was out of the game by 2013. I realize the harm I did now that I've grown up and it'll will be a regret I die with because I won't let it go away, I don't deserve to. Honesty keeps the chin up. I'm sorry you lost your brother😢...sending you lots of love
Something is going to give from all this open borders there's coming a world War of major proportions unmanageable when the anti christ appears showtime
This whole cartels dealing fentanyl is rather unique. Typically drug dealers dont want to sell a drug that kills their customers. Think about it from a purely business p.o.v. You just want to make money and sell your product to your customers for as long as possible. This whole fentanyl issue is much more like terrorism than standard drug dealing.
Fentanyl doesn't kill everyone right away just like with H , ive been addicted to the fake fetty pills before and never overdosed like some of these kids doing them for the first time... lots of people want fentanyl in their shit now. Lol

It's a more amazing how people come out with these podcasts and they don't want to hear the truth but they want to people to hear what they call the truth. America has committed so many war crimes and America has committed so many murders across the world and this is a fact America is the most crooked government in the world. These are facts freedom of speech
They also don't want you to know that the American government gave 1 billion dollars of the American hard-working tax pay in dollars to this level for biohazard facility. This is a fact this is not no lie this is not fake media. And this person of the podcast trolls comments and if they don't like the comments they delete them. We have people on the other side who know they're deleting our comments as they're being made. Or flagging us, cyberbullying, harassment, inappropriate language, be careful of the podcast you choose to subscribe to for false information. Freedom of speech is in the Constitution
Subscribed! Watched after seeing a RUclips recommendation and loved it. This explains so much of the absurdity that is occurring on the border, watching from the other side of globe. Keep on Ed 💪🙏
This is hands down my favorite channel. Keep up the good fight. Every show is so gritty and real, with guests who truly know what they are talking about. Keep it up please ✌️. Thank you for taking your time with the interviews. 🙏
Dude, your comment made our day! We're stoked to hear that you love our channel. We promise to keep delivering the goods and bringing you the most authentic and gripping stories out there. Thanks for taking the time to watch and support us. We appreciate you! 🙌🔥
@UltraPlusRD No, yeah, you're right, they just happened to let him put all this information out about what they're doing, and they don't ever come after him. Yeah, you're right, he's just too good
Looking forward to this one. And I wish more Americans would pay attention to what Ed Calderon has to say, and the firsthand experience he has to share.
Ed needs to go on more liberal podcasts. He needs to talk to people who downplay the violence in Mexico. Every interview he’s done is with police and military crowds. Needs to go on 60 minutes or something to scream this message to the people in the back.
I grew up in south San Diego and through my lifestyle got to see the underbelly of that area. China and Cartels have a long standing relationship long before fentanyl. They worked together in organ harvesting for decades. If we face China, Iran, North Korea, and Iran we will be sharing a border with an axis ally. The cartels could take over Mexico in a heartbeat with a little electronic warfare support from China. Everyone that hasn't pushed a secure border is going regret it really soon. The problem for American's is they're too short sighted and focused on quickest gratification they can get, when our enemy like China looks at the next 100 years than 4 or 8. PS - I actually worked with Ed from time to time in 2008-2010 when things started getting really bad down there.
Well China remember the Opium War that the British took years to drug addict an entire country bringing it down on its knees when it was still Imperial China. Which allowed Britain & Japan (who took advantage of a drug addicted population to invade also) to take land & colonize. China still had an opium addiction problem after WW2 & after the Chinese Civil War that the communist won. The communists just executed the addicts to finally end the opium addiction problem that was 100 years in the making from being tricked & forced to trade with Britain. Everyone knows it’s impossible to invade America physically. It’s a lot easier to let Americans destroy themselves since America has never, ever had a culture of unity for being American.
I’m always willing to listen to this guy. Thanks for teaching us some weird life hacks, Ed. My camping trips are much more enjoyable since I now know how to get out of flexcuffs. 😂 #staypreppedmfs
I’d like someone to ask Ed what he thinks about this: If the border crisis is being exploited by China to destabilize America what should we assume it means that the US political establishment is dedicated to keeping the border open, with the full knowledge of what has been coming across? This is not a new thing either, it goes back decades and across both parties. Why do China and the US Government seem to have the same goals regarding the US public?
The US needs to man up and stop blaming other countries for its own problems. It’s a failed nation if it can’t keep its citizens mentally healthy without drug addictions.
The creation and implementation of The New World Order. From what I have researched America has to be taken down through clear and present destabilization due to America being the biggest obstacle in the way of the overall implementation of The New World Order. America is obviously being systematically DESTROYED and it's being orchestrated by the folks at the very top of the government, and whoever is above those folks who are so influential and powerful whom are above the government ie. International bankers, The Bilderberg Group, Rothschild Dynasty, the Rockefeller's, George Soros, probably other global dynastic families (some/most of which are unknown to the public). They want a One World Communist system where everyone is microchipped, only digital currency exists, the global population doesn't exceed 500 million people, cradle to grave surveillance, no guns, no freedom, no rights, a totalitarian communist global system, etc. Destabilization of America and other parts of the world, through mass migration, is simply one vehicle or means at there disposal to create and bring to fruition their vision of the New World Order. The civil war, race war, economic collapse, starvation, mass murder, and ultimately post apocalyptic nightmare which is going to be a result of all these factors overlapping and/or occurring at the same time will turn America into an unlivable Hell on Earth which will result in massive casualties and the majority of countries population dying. Population control will be yet another "positive" outcome for the globalists once the dust settles after the chaos ends. What is going to go down in this country will make the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990's seem like a walk in the park, and/or a picnic. Considering how brutal and devastating the Yugoslav Wars were, one can only imagine how insane experiencing the fall of America will be. The globalists refer to this process as "Order Out of Chaos". I hope this answers your question(s), at least to some degree.
@@thisisironclad Mate, just hearing Calderon, an obviously smart guy and informed guy, say that we're going to "need Mexico for what's next," should send a chill down everyone's spine... because I think he's right. And, sub'd, by the way. I'm really happy I found this channel. Cheers!
Absolutely, it's fascinating to hear perspectives from informed individuals like Calderon. The interconnectedness of nations in addressing global challenges is indeed crucial.We appreciate the support brother. Looking forward to more insightful discussions here. Cheers! @@NewGoldStandard
I’ve just discovered your podcast Andy. I’m a great believer in we have two ears and one mouth. You are a very excellent example of this adage. I’m now a follower.
Not sure if you'll test this comment. But thank you so much for having Ed on to talk about the cartels in Mexico and the Chinese govt trying to take advantage of Mexico in order to only help China and undermine the relationship Mexico and the US should have. For anyone interested, please look into how China is trying to use lithium mining in other countries most notably Mexico's lithium deposit found in Sonora by the Chinese company Ganfeng. This is after Mexico nationalized lithium as a resource. China is doing everything to only help themselves!
@@Syrgam not true... Only meer consumers to or own resources and the Chinese treat Mexico like a tool to get resources from like were done slave African country. Mexico is not and should be a super power that is respected that can trade with other countries. Fuck China and their push of far left politics meant only to be anti American not liberal
Thank You Mr C, it is unimaginable to me what you have endured to do the job you did. We all benefited from your accomplishments, and most of us outta contribute much more - somehow- to the major drug problem in the USA and here in Canada.
Why do Americans focus on China supplying fentanyl? In Afghanistan the US protected the poppy trade, exporting huge quantities of drugs to the world - when the US left so did the poppy fields and those horrible exports fell 90%. The US was doing the exact same thing as China.
The netflix documentary that ed mentioned about the self defense groups in Mexico is called cartel land. It was released back in 2015. If you haven't seen it i highly recommend it. But self defense groups did rose up in michoacan back in 2013 and 2014 to fight the knights templar cartel before being co opted themselves by cartels. Luis chapparo who was on shawn ryan mentioned how he went to down to michoacan to cover the death of one of the original founders who was killed last year hipolito mora.
@@jonathanramos8414 yes bro I live in what's considered a violent city we had over a 100 murders in a year. There has been months were more have died down there. It's really sad and I feel for the innocent people.
then why don't you start calling your representatives and making them DO something about it. Bc I recognize this ED dude from Crenshaw's podcast last year and him and all his ''veterans" buddies in congress just spent the last year trying to push more and more legalization of illegal drugs. The problem is getting worse not better, so unless you all want to end up like Mexico, maybe listening to yet another recycled guest, you should go make your representatives do something about this issue, bc they're definitely going in the wrong direction.
@@andrabook8758they went to Congress to get proven treatments legalized in America. Thanks to those guys many vets have been able to get permanently off of pain meds and SSRI medications. How could you hate on that.
Hey Andy, it is great that you are talking about this heavy problem shared by both our countries (Mexico and US). Please, please consider having on "Gafe 423". He is a former Mexican special forces now turned podcaster with endelss, mind blowing stories and insights on the drug war (for instance, how he encountered former US special ops now working for cartels). I don't think he speaks English, but I'm sure you could have someone translating. Thanks again for bringing more light on this problem
Fact is, as long as the US keeps pumping $360 BILLION dollars yearly into the drug business there will ALWAYS be someone who will supply, "follow the money" the real problem and only responsible is every person who willingly chooses to spend $ on drugs to have a good time, that $ is the fuel. 52 years of a failed "war on drug" proves it, ALWAYS somebody else steps up for the money on the table.
@@USandGlobal Fact is the cartels we know exist solely to supply the US market, thats why they are next door in Mexico (like many factories are also, BMW, VW, Mercedes, Ford Toyota, ect), not because Mexico is their intended market but because location and its cheaper to produce there. Cartels as we know them practically wouldn’t exist in Mexico if it weren’t for the US (same as those other factories). Mexico just doesnt have anywhere near the drug problem the US has, and the drugs sold in Mexico happen mostly in tourist places. But I agree with you they have to solve their own internal problems, same as the US. Alcoholics don’t blame the liquor brands for their alcoholism, because we all know its a social and psychological issue. As long as they wants to buy liquor they will buy from one place or an other. Drug abuse is just a symptom of something deeper we need to fix in our society, and this war business is a bandaid that we’ve tried n proven time and time again doesnt even work as that. We MUST save America from the inside.
I am not defending Mexico in the drug problem. We always hear, you have to cut off the source. It comes from "China" to Mexico. So, the Mexican border/PORTS need to step up their game. Unless the port police are getting paid to let it come in, it will continue to flood in😢
No one wants to cut off the source, bc they're too busy trying to legalize and rip you all off. Otherwise they would have cut off the source years ago. Am I the only one paying any attention to the political drug push and the complete lack of concern for human life which accompanies it?
I wasn't alive or in the streets when "Pablo Escobar" was alive and kicking with the Cartels BUT I do know how the modern Cartels work and how they operate... AND it blows my MIND that over & over again people act oblivious to the fact that these Cartels are NOT in bed with Government agencies in America. People always ask "Why hasn't the US government made these Cartels a terriost organization, even tho they KILL more people then most terrorists organizations that exist in todays world." The first answer is the most OBVIOUS one. *WE ARE IN BUSINESS WITH THESE CARTELS. How many times do we need to hear or SEE these Cartels working with the CIA and government agencies to make BILLIONS of dollars a MONTH. Why would you make your business partner a terriost organization, which then means you would HAVE to declare WAR on these Cartel Organizations, when you make BILLIONS on BILLIONS of dollars with them.* *Americas Government and the Chinese Government are fighting for the right to do business with these Cartels. Theres tons of Cartel leaders and Whistleblower CIA agents that have come out and said They work with the CIA and other government agencies all the time.*
Gracias, Ed. More of us in both USA & Mexico bneed to learn & train more linguists and interpreters / translators who can communicate in Mandarin & Cantonese.
I partially agree, Americans are the ones asking for the drugs, but the cartels aren't just trafficking drugs, they are also trafficking illegal aliens into the U.S.
44:07 - these are highly provocative, explosive claims, I wish the guest would provide some specific examples, and maybe even a little actual context surrounding some of these. For example: how many prisons? Which specific countries? Can you provide a specific example - how about the most egregious case? When? Etc etc etc
Yes there's a "Vice" interview where they interview a cartel member at the end of the interview he basically says "Thanks Americans for selling us guns without you we wouldn't survive"😂
I've been warning relatives and friends both here and in Mexico about the Chinese and their intentions and ambitions. It's infuriating how all of their influence was allowed in. Especially fueling and aiding the cartels. All due to the lack of knowledge and education. Economic opportunities, education, and a strong family bond are the weapons Mexico needs to fight their problems and overcome and succeed in the future.
Anytime I see "interview with Ed Calderone" I click play. It started with Adam Carolla interviewing him years ago for me and this Alpha male captivates me every single time. Grabbing popcorn. Looking forward to this
@@TheChillje My confidence has nothing to do with your statement of calling another man alpha male. Men don't call other men that, it's just known. It's like a silent code. Recognized.
Real patriotis will be to help take care of your drug addicts help them to recover and prevent new to get in, that addiction it's not a hobby it's a mental sickness coming from they child hood and broken familys without an good and strong and respectful father figure. THE CAPITALIST COUNTRY is getting supply and demand. If demand persist they will be always someone to supply
everyone's been warning about this bc China keeps telling people about it. Literally everyone knows. Except your politicians and your military, that is. Or maybe just except the ppl who won't find it financially convenient to accept the truth.

The cartels were very much just like mob families in those days before they turned into paramilitaries
Los zetas pretty much started the hyper militarization and violence of the Mexican cartels. Because they were gafe operators of the Mexican army
I see Ed, I click. Very simple. Very good.
There is a very similar Canadian version of this story.

I was blown away when he said "yeah Mexico locked down the ports but ships were still coming in." My God that is crazy!!!

@alexander-iu8rr ironically, he and you have the same name. His name was Alex
Me too bro i lost my step sister to that sh!t
I'm a Canadian that helped move a lot of cocaine a decade ago, so this is personal for me in a different way.
Fentanyl showed up in 2012 in northern Canada in fake percocets and oxy 80's...I was out of the game by 2013.
I realize the harm I did now that I've grown up and it'll will be a regret I die with because I won't let it go away, I don't deserve to. Honesty keeps the chin up.
I'm sorry you lost your brother😢...sending you lots of love
The drug addict (USA) living next door to the drug dealer (Mex). This will never stop even the drug dealing Ronald Reagan wanted this 😎
I am sorry sir.
Andy thank you for having Ed on.Great show.God Bless.
Thanks for watching Rich! Sending blessings your way also 💪
History is happening as we live Ed gives priceless info
Ed is amazing! Thanks for watching Ashog
I have been watching this situation build up slowly. I believe it is going to go down. Be ready so you don't have to get ready. Peace and love y'all.
Gotta love Ed. He's the real deal, OG! Thanks, folks.
This podcast is pure gold. Generally and in the specific case of the current episode.
Something is going to give from all this open borders there's coming a world War of major proportions unmanageable when the anti christ appears showtime
This whole cartels dealing fentanyl is rather unique. Typically drug dealers dont want to sell a drug that kills their customers. Think about it from a purely business p.o.v. You just want to make money and sell your product to your customers for as long as possible. This whole fentanyl issue is much more like terrorism than standard drug dealing.
Fentanyl doesn't kill everyone right away just like with H , ive been addicted to the fake fetty pills before and never overdosed like some of these kids doing them for the first time... lots of people want fentanyl in their shit now. Lol

Very very simple solution to this all legalize drugs and prostitution
It's a more amazing how people come out with these podcasts and they don't want to hear the truth but they want to people to hear what they call the truth. America has committed so many war crimes and America has committed so many murders across the world and this is a fact America is the most crooked government in the world. These are facts freedom of speech
They also don't want you to know that the American government gave 1 billion dollars of the American hard-working tax pay in dollars to this level for biohazard facility. This is a fact this is not no lie this is not fake media. And this person of the podcast trolls comments and if they don't like the comments they delete them. We have people on the other side who know they're deleting our comments as they're being made. Or flagging us, cyberbullying, harassment, inappropriate language, be careful of the podcast you choose to subscribe to for false information. Freedom of speech is in the Constitution

Welcome to America Mr. Calderon. Glad to have you
Looking forward to this one. And I wish more Americans would pay attention to what Ed Calderon has to say, and the firsthand experience he has to share.

Ed needs to go on more liberal podcasts. He needs to talk to people who downplay the violence in Mexico. Every interview he’s done is with police and military crowds. Needs to go on 60 minutes or something to scream this message to the people in the back.
@@Horsed_Beef Agreed. One has to wonder if there's a reason he doesn't get invited on those shows.
I first heard Ed on Rogans podcast. He really blew me away.
So glad to see Andy giving him this exposure to his audience.

I grew up in south San Diego and through my lifestyle got to see the underbelly of that area. China and Cartels have a long standing relationship long before fentanyl. They worked together in organ harvesting for decades. If we face China, Iran, North Korea, and Iran we will be sharing a border with an axis ally. The cartels could take over Mexico in a heartbeat with a little electronic warfare support from China. Everyone that hasn't pushed a secure border is going regret it really soon. The problem for American's is they're too short sighted and focused on quickest gratification they can get, when our enemy like China looks at the next 100 years than 4 or 8.
PS - I actually worked with Ed from time to time in 2008-2010 when things started getting really bad down there.
Pay back is a bitch!
Los 100 años de humillacion a China se la estan cobrando 2 siglos despues..no se quejen.
Well China remember the Opium War that the British took years to drug addict an entire country bringing it down on its knees when it was still Imperial China. Which allowed Britain & Japan (who took advantage of a drug addicted population to invade also) to take land & colonize. China still had an opium addiction problem after WW2 & after the Chinese Civil War that the communist won. The communists just executed the addicts to finally end the opium addiction problem that was 100 years in the making from being tricked & forced to trade with Britain. Everyone knows it’s impossible to invade America physically. It’s a lot easier to let Americans destroy themselves since America has never, ever had a culture of unity for being American.
Yeah you dont know what youre talking about..
I’m always willing to listen to this guy. Thanks for teaching us some weird life hacks, Ed. My camping trips are much more enjoyable since I now know how to get out of flexcuffs. 😂

Ed Calderon Interviews are always top top
I first saw Ed Calderon on the SRS. This guy is the shiznizzle.
Check out his 2 appearances on joe Rogan a few years back , if you haven’t already
Yeah I saw those too. I just mentioned SRS because that's what stood out in my mind.@@nbaWrld96
I’d like someone to ask Ed what he thinks about this: If the border crisis is being exploited by China to destabilize America what should we assume it means that the US political establishment is dedicated to keeping the border open, with the full knowledge of what has been coming across? This is not a new thing either, it goes back decades and across both parties. Why do China and the US Government seem to have the same goals regarding the US public?
The US needs to man up and stop blaming other countries for its own problems. It’s a failed nation if it can’t keep its citizens mentally healthy without drug addictions.
The creation and implementation of The New World Order. From what I have researched America has to be taken down through clear and present destabilization due to America being the biggest obstacle in the way of the overall implementation of The New World Order. America is obviously being systematically DESTROYED and it's being orchestrated by the folks at the very top of the government, and whoever is above those folks who are so influential and powerful whom are above the government ie. International bankers, The Bilderberg Group, Rothschild Dynasty, the Rockefeller's, George Soros, probably other global dynastic families (some/most of which are unknown to the public). They want a One World Communist system where everyone is microchipped, only digital currency exists, the global population doesn't exceed 500 million people, cradle to grave surveillance, no guns, no freedom, no rights, a totalitarian communist global system, etc. Destabilization of America and other parts of the world, through mass migration, is simply one vehicle or means at there disposal to create and bring to fruition their vision of the New World Order. The civil war, race war, economic collapse, starvation, mass murder, and ultimately post apocalyptic nightmare which is going to be a result of all these factors overlapping and/or occurring at the same time will turn America into an unlivable Hell on Earth which will result in massive casualties and the majority of countries population dying. Population control will be yet another "positive" outcome for the globalists once the dust settles after the chaos ends. What is going to go down in this country will make the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990's seem like a walk in the park, and/or a picnic. Considering how brutal and devastating the Yugoslav Wars were, one can only imagine how insane experiencing the fall of America will be. The globalists refer to this process as "Order Out of Chaos". I hope this answers your question(s), at least to some degree.
But keep ‘em coming, you have a great channel.
Really great content, thank you. And definitely, stay frosty!
Always!
@@thisisironclad Mate, just hearing Calderon, an obviously smart guy and informed guy, say that we're going to "need Mexico for what's next," should send a chill down everyone's spine... because I think he's right. And, sub'd, by the way. I'm really happy I found this channel. Cheers!

Absolutely amazing interview. Give Ed his US citizenship and let him help us combat this war!
I concur
Not sure if you'll test this comment. But thank you so much for having Ed on to talk about the cartels in Mexico and the Chinese govt trying to take advantage of Mexico in order to only help China and undermine the relationship Mexico and the US should have.
For anyone interested, please look into how China is trying to use lithium mining in other countries most notably Mexico's lithium deposit found in Sonora by the Chinese company Ganfeng. This is after Mexico nationalized lithium as a resource. China is doing everything to only help themselves!
But they helping my Mexican people more than the USA has so idc
@@Syrgam not true... Only meer consumers to or own resources and the Chinese treat Mexico like a tool to get resources from like were done slave African country. Mexico is not and should be a super power that is respected that can trade with other countries. Fuck China and their push of far left politics meant only to be anti American not liberal
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank You Mr C, it is unimaginable to me what you have endured to do the job you did. We all benefited from your accomplishments, and most of us outta contribute much more - somehow- to the major drug problem in the USA and here in Canada.
Great interview!!Keep up the good work!!

Great podcast boyz Ed should be on more often 🤙
Why do Americans focus on China supplying fentanyl? In Afghanistan the US protected the poppy trade, exporting huge quantities of drugs to the world - when the US left so did the poppy fields and those horrible exports fell 90%. The US was doing the exact same thing as China.
You do know there's a difference between Americans and the scumbags that run it ?
Nice to see Ed alive n well. Cool camera filter too, low residual detail.
Absolutely amazing Andy!! Ed is the man
Our next President needs Ed as a Consultant.
The netflix documentary that ed mentioned about the self defense groups in Mexico is called cartel land. It was released back in 2015. If you haven't seen it i highly recommend it. But self defense groups did rose up in michoacan back in 2013 and 2014 to fight the knights templar cartel before being co opted themselves by cartels. Luis chapparo who was on shawn ryan mentioned how he went to down to michoacan to cover the death of one of the original founders who was killed last year hipolito mora.
Yeah Cartel Land is a super intense but well made

Andy, Mexico is now the largest trading partner of the U.S. Look it up.
I’m so disgusted. I’m disgusted with what’s happening to our young kids I’m disgusted. I don’t even know if I can handle any more of it. Disgusted.
then why don't you start calling your representatives and making them DO something about it. Bc I recognize this ED dude from Crenshaw's podcast last year and him and all his ''veterans" buddies in congress just spent the last year trying to push more and more legalization of illegal drugs. The problem is getting worse not better, so unless you all want to end up like Mexico, maybe listening to yet another recycled guest, you should go make your representatives do something about this issue, bc they're definitely going in the wrong direction.
@@andrabook8758they went to Congress to get proven treatments legalized in America. Thanks to those guys many vets have been able to get permanently off of pain meds and SSRI medications. How could you hate on that.
Hey Andy, it is great that you are talking about this heavy problem shared by both our countries (Mexico and US). Please, please consider having on "Gafe 423". He is a former Mexican special forces now turned podcaster with endelss, mind blowing stories and insights on the drug war (for instance, how he encountered former US special ops now working for cartels). I don't think he speaks English, but I'm sure you could have someone translating. Thanks again for bringing more light on this problem
Blame everything on China 😂😂 Yet the United States has nothing to do with the cartels and drugs. Stop it
China lost the Opiate wars years ago. They've made no secret that they're sore about that and want revenge.
We dont
Thats the reason people are scared
People who work in other countries on behalf of the united states arent there to buy and sell drugs...get real
@@raighnman179 And vice versa clown
The Mexican cop who speaks perfect English....hummmmm WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
Everyone should read Sun Tzu's "Art of War".. & the documentary "Narcofornia".. Ed, tien mucho cuidado!
Andy you have balls brother hope you stay safe.
30% for the big guy
Fact is, as long as the US keeps pumping $360 BILLION dollars yearly into the drug business there will ALWAYS be someone who will supply, "follow the money" the real problem and only responsible is every person who willingly chooses to spend $ on drugs to have a good time, that $ is the fuel. 52 years of a failed "war on drug" proves it, ALWAYS somebody else steps up for the money on the table.
Fact is Mexico itself has a massive drug market so until Mexico fixes itself things won’t change
@@USandGlobal Fact is the cartels we know exist solely to supply the US market, thats why they are next door in Mexico (like many factories are also, BMW, VW, Mercedes, Ford Toyota, ect), not because Mexico is their intended market but because location and its cheaper to produce there. Cartels as we know them practically wouldn’t exist in Mexico if it weren’t for the US (same as those other factories).
Mexico just doesnt have anywhere near the drug problem the US has, and the drugs sold in Mexico happen mostly in tourist places. But I agree with you they have to solve their own internal problems, same as the US. Alcoholics don’t blame the liquor brands for their alcoholism, because we all know its a social and psychological issue. As long as they wants to buy liquor they will buy from one place or an other.
Drug abuse is just a symptom of something deeper we need to fix in our society, and this war business is a bandaid that we’ve tried n proven time and time again doesnt even work as that.
We MUST save America from the inside.
Both in one spot, that’s a cool surprise to find 😆🧡
I enjoy every interview Ed does.
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode!
I am not defending Mexico in the drug problem. We always hear, you have to cut off the source. It comes from "China" to Mexico. So, the Mexican border/PORTS need to step up their game. Unless the port police are getting paid to let it come in, it will continue to flood in😢
Mexico can barely handle the cartels…hell to the naw they can’t step up their game…too much dirty money being made
No one wants to cut off the source, bc they're too busy trying to legalize and rip you all off. Otherwise they would have cut off the source years ago. Am I the only one paying any attention to the political drug push and the complete lack of concern for human life which accompanies it?
When they get off the buses,who they handing envelopes to? Cartel or Border Patrol or both?
I wasn't alive or in the streets when "Pablo Escobar" was alive and kicking with the Cartels BUT I do know how the modern Cartels work and how they operate... AND it blows my MIND that over & over again people act oblivious to the fact that these Cartels are NOT in bed with Government agencies in America. People always ask "Why hasn't the US government made these Cartels a terriost organization, even tho they KILL more people then most terrorists organizations that exist in todays world." The first answer is the most OBVIOUS one.
*WE ARE IN BUSINESS WITH THESE CARTELS. How many times do we need to hear or SEE these Cartels working with the CIA and government agencies to make BILLIONS of dollars a MONTH. Why would you make your business partner a terriost organization, which then means you would HAVE to declare WAR on these Cartel Organizations, when you make BILLIONS on BILLIONS of dollars with them.*
*Americas Government and the Chinese Government are fighting for the right to do business with these Cartels. Theres tons of Cartel leaders and Whistleblower CIA agents that have come out and said They work with the CIA and other government agencies all the time.*
Gracias, Ed. More of us in both USA & Mexico bneed to learn & train more linguists and interpreters / translators who can communicate in Mandarin & Cantonese.
Anyone remember the "Opium Wars"? I'm sure China has never forgotten
Calderon El Mas Chingon ☝️👑🤟👑💜❤️🔥💪🇺🇸💪🇲🇽
Honestly, I don't blame the cartels as much as I blame the American incessant appetite for drugs.
I partially agree, Americans are the ones asking for the drugs, but the cartels aren't just trafficking drugs, they are also trafficking illegal aliens into the U.S.
Ed is a rad dude. ☠️🐍
Real people for a change.
44:07 - these are highly provocative, explosive claims, I wish the guest would provide some specific examples, and maybe even a little actual context surrounding some of these. For example: how many prisons? Which specific countries? Can you provide a specific example - how about the most egregious case? When? Etc etc etc

I've been warning relatives and friends both here and in Mexico about the Chinese and their intentions and ambitions. It's infuriating how all of their influence was allowed in. Especially fueling and aiding the cartels. All due to the lack of knowledge and education. Economic opportunities, education, and a strong family bond are the weapons Mexico needs to fight their problems and overcome and succeed in the future.

THE CAPITALIST COUNTRY is getting supply and demand. If demand persist they will be always someone to supply
John Bolton warned of this in 2009.
everyone's been warning about this bc China keeps telling people about it. Literally everyone knows. Except your politicians and your military, that is. Or maybe just except the ppl who won't find it financially convenient to accept the truth.
