Welcome to Redacted. We're so glad you're here. I'm Natalie Morris. That's Clayton. We got a lot to talk about today. We're going to talk about the civil unrest in Mexico because Mexico may be on reopening. But who armed the cartel in the first place? What is U.S. complicity in this civil unrest? Turns out it's extensive. You could have guessed that, I'm sure, but we're still going to bring our homework and show it to you. Well, they don't want to admit it, of course, where are they getting their weapons? How is the CIA intimately involved in this? How exactly the cartels operate? Why are they, and this is not just a Mexico story? I mean, this is a massive United States story because many of these cartels operate freely within the United States. Yes. Which would be activated at a moment's notice. Now, this is something we were talking about in the wake of the Ukraine war. We were saying a lot of these weapons that are being sent from the United States are ending up in the cartels' hands. We need like one of those, I told you so signs. Yeah. Like in boxing where they announced the rounds. We're just going to walk past.
