In this segment Jimmy talks to journalist Kurt Hackbarth about the recent killing of “El Mencho,” a major Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader, by Mexican security forces and the wave of retaliatory violence that followed, including roadblocks and vehicle burnings. They discuss how U.S.-sourced weapons flowing into Mexico and intelligence cooperation complicate the narrative, while rejecting exaggerated social media claims that Mexico was “in flames.” The conversation explores concerns that some U.S. political figures exaggerate instability in Mexico to justify tougher interventionist policies, especially amid broader trade and energy negotiations between the two countries. Overall, the discussion frames cartel violence, arms trafficking, and U.S.–Mexico relations as part of a larger geopolitical and economic struggle rather than an isolated security event.
