0:00 [Music] so there's a volunteer group of moms in mexico and they go out and try to find missing loved ones it's pretty cute what are you gonna fight the cartel it sounds like a terrible idea oh i thought it was going to be like but then i met this girl it's kind of cute yeah i thought it was going to be like i met this girl in tulum and we're so drunk and we ████ loved miss connections yeah that was a misconception craigslist yeah that's kind of dope and then they're like mom's to the rescue all right we got this one matchmaking matchmaking mexican moms triple m we should just start reading like connections four four m that'd be dope i wish that's a ████ sci-fi shoe yeah she was assigned my shirt yeah i saw a hot girl in a white bikini mama find her

0:50 i wish there's like the hacker version they all have a uh m for last name too like morales is a hacker mom yeah there's a hacker mom she goes she's like the one that's like at home with the baby and ████ buddy i found this girl on instagram she looks like the one in the description but her facebook says she lives over here well i wish it ended with that much happiness but oh god dude all the sad stuff today with the cartel stuff so yeah you did i know volunteer group of moms in mexico went out searching for missing loved ones and ended up discovering 17 other bodies buried in abandoned residential yards god damn all in one place in very close proximity that's some cartoons coincidence 17. it's absolutely cartel ████ yeah so like i guess in that area

1:42 that they were looking the cartel kind of they'll go to like these abandoned houses in these residential areas and they'll do the killings there and then just bury them in those yards and then um these moms just happened to find those exact places they just started digging and they just uncovered seventeen bodies yeah but they weren't surprised this evening gets out because then like who do they tell because aren't the cops like under the cartel like everybody's like stacked i mean i don't know maybe these moms are off limits yeah kind of like you know abuelas and stuff i don't know there's there's full villages and cities that um fight back too yeah there's zones where the cartel just you know and it's really sad because the reason they formed this group is because the cops refused to search in the places that they wanted to look for sure for that reason yeah well the cops don't want to die they want their whole family to get kidnapped and ████ it seems like such a different planet yeah you know like america's got

2:33 its issues right we got a problem but that is an entirely different issue so like this is just my impression i don't know if this is accurate but like is mexico that incompetent as far as law enforcement i think they're it's pretty bad i don't know is the wrong word yeah i don't think it's incompetent uh i i think i think under the thumb of yeah yeah they have zero chances it's like it's a multiple symptom thing one it's like uh the there's a huge like uh discrepancy and like the rich and the poor right so there's already people that are extremely economically disadvantaged so when you have that then people are just desperate and then if you have something that's extremely highly lucrative and then you have people that have extreme violence because like the people that are part of the cartel they're like former mexico

3:23 their version of navy seals they can pay off the they can pay off um what is it called the cops easy they have extreme amounts of threat in them yeah yeah they they have all the resources they have literally like submarines and tanks and ████ that they buy from like old like uh uh decommissioned like russian um military assets so it's just a ████ like crazy all-around ecosystem i don't think this s███'s new though right like way back in the day it's religion religion had their thumb on on on countries and control yeah and then like even like joking but not like mafia similar thing like hey man you run this store you want that glass to be broken tomorrow or do you want to protect it okay give me 10 percent and then like racketeering yeah and then it just starts to build up one store after another city after city cop after coffee even like in the 60s right like in new york like how many of the cops were under the italian mobs yeah influence

4:14 yeah it just takes time you know we don't have to throw it italian we don't have this big nose people get it you don't have to say it that's kind of cool though right because it's ████ rad and we did it with straight respect all right we had morals because there's footage of mexican like police and armies getting into uh firefights with the cartel so not all of them are paid off and not all of them are working for the cartel but it also might be it's not one cartel there's multiple different regions and there's there's mayors still there's governors there are different puzzles involved so i i think um it's a complex issue but the funny thing is that some of these cartel guys were trained by the us military because they were the special like let's say dea swat guys of mexico they got trained by our special forces and then they go you know what

5:06 all these drug guys are making a ton why don't we just take over their business and then that's what they did and then some dude these businesses they make so much ████ money like they probably make more than the government and they've had like assassinations like out in the public like you'll be like uh like let's say a mayor or a a cardinal even that condemned the cartel and then boom the next day you see that car roll up and then ████ bullet holes go straight through the ████ the car like the next mayor they're like oh ████ am i going to say anything about the cartel or do i want to get ████ assassinated and brown david that's why i was always wondering like if um the news that does reach stateside they just really love to tell us how ████ up it is yeah but if it's one of those places where if you go there and you kind of know the deal and know the rules

5:56 you'll be fine yeah i think there's that too yeah i i i went to uh cancun tulum um playa del carmen all the touristy places right and what shocked me or what made it real is like okay you think you're just in the country and it's like oh cool you know and then when you see four or five truckloads that's so scary of dudes in military uniform and straight looking like they're about to go into war and driving past you that's when you're just like oh ████ hey guys can you take my photo what i also heard too is along the united states bottom border is where their heaviest presence is because they're trying to smuggle it in but when you go into like deep mexico then it's like any other country that you go into okay like if you go to like mexico city

6:46 it feels like a mexico like downtown l.a where it's not there's not like a ████ tank rolling through with people throwing gang signs and stuff you know yeah so just as a tank that's pretty tight walking on the floor this has an added stat currently the mexican government data shows 98 356 reported missing people what's america's reported missing people though i don't know i think it's higher i think not well higher because we have more people too but i think it's way high compared to what even our news stations tell people really i think so i think i think we're missing cats left and right bro in the us it's oh more than 17 000 missing person cases remain open california has 2133 they did this um so it's not that crazy they were extraditing uh a mexican cartel dude

7:39 right they caught this boss uh he was like a leader big time guy and then they were transporting the convoy back into the states and then the convoy got attacked and then it's ████ the fire power that the cartel has it's like it's like isis you know like yeah just straight rocketing blowing up trying to ████ get to this stage right and i was like that's crazy dude like that's like some fast and furious ████ but that happens yeah fast and furious is pretty high level ████ they'll be like stopping planes and stuff with cars a drama documentary yeah yeah definitely like halfway but i'm wondering like how much jesus is in it how much of that happens here and it's not reported on the news yeah i do wonder i'd be shocked if that kind of ████ happens in the states where like let's say a big time

8:29 billionaire criminal is like being convoyed somewhere and then like it gets attacked by i don't know dudes that want to get them back or is it like really hard to do that on american soil i don't know i don't know either yeah yeah cartel stuff scares the ████ at me i didn't know like uh one of my cop friends did tell me like they were able to bust down this door and they found out some cartel operation and then the two dudes they arrested um they were put on a million dollar bail each so for them they're like okay cool these fools aren't going anywhere for sure they got posted bail immediately and then within like two hours they already left yeah i would be scared that's the kind of resources they have dude they're like what are we even fighting this for this is above our pay grade this is some crazy ████ they're like maybe we should

9:19 have done 2 million my one of my clients his uh one of his really good friends got shot in like a gang shooting right he was in the hospital they found out that he was undocumented why like while he was in the hospital he was like arrested um they patched him up and then they sent them over back to mexico he gets picked up by the cartel and then he just starts trimming weed plans for him for like a couple weeks and then they're like hey they give them the phone they say hey call your parents or whatever they call their parents and then they're just asking for like four hundred dollars like or i forgot what the exact amount was like not even that much yeah but like they were asking for um like a monthly payment just to keep

10:09 him alive and then that was the last extortion and like that's what he told and i was like that's ████ yeah in sync yeah and they didn't get him back or nothing well you know he he said he hasn't talked to him since ████ but this was also like five years ago yeah wow so you've been trimming wheeze for like five years i have no idea maybe because they're like sorry because of covid we can't send them in mexico it says there's 52 000 dead bodies that have not been identified yet 52 yet so they're still they're like working on it oh but tulum is so lit though you got to go there dude it is so awesome well not okay it is beautiful but then like what's really cool is the chitsa and like and then like that's the pyramids that the mayans made and then if you stand

11:00 there you go like like that and you clap and it goes every time you clap and you're like this is ████ ancient alien ████ man it's so cool it's pretty magical right here we have cenotes where you could swim in the water and ████ it's so selling it man i like it all right i'm going to tulum dude to me it was safe it was nice i highly recommend it thirsty spots are cool and then i these are they said it's owned by the cartel that's what people say so they're like no no yeah we're going to keep our business going i don't think they want to ████ with america you know they want to keep their ████ going if they kill an american it's not going to look good no they'll kidnap americans i'm sure they do here and there but you know what i mean like that's going to make way more news than 52 000 mexican locals disappeared right no one's gonna come over but yeah i did i did watch a really cool um anonymous interview from like this mexican cartel

11:50 hitman and he said one of the rules is that they just don't kill journalists that makes sense because they don't like tattletails well because they said if you kill it he said if you you can kill anybody he's like if you can kill cop but he said if you kill a journalist there's so much empathy from the world about what you did that people will never stop coming to find out what happened like the guy who killed the journalists in the submarine do you guys hear about that stuff no i didn't i'm gonna i'm gonna wear a journalist tag when i go to mexico just always have a ████ clipboard and i'm gonna have a ████ international like war thing ukraine everyone's wearing press to make sure i'm like you think they're aiming down that sniper and just not going to pick you they're not supposed to [Music]
