We've all been watching the breaking news out of Mexico.

Big spasm of violence down there, so much so that they shut down airports and airspace down there.

And it ended up with the death of one of the major cartel leaders down there, Nemicio Asaguera

coming into the area down there. So they've kind of stayed away from that and protected those areas so people wouldn't

be afraid to go down there because of violence.

But now it's spilled over into the tourist areas, and I think that's going to have a major,

more and more difficulty getting their drugs, fentanyl and others, into the United States. It's hurt their business a lot.

And so they're fighting for what business there is between themselves. Sinaloa cartel,

the Hellesco, all of these are fighting among themselves because there's not as much to go around.
