YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFull Episode will air on Monday at 5pm EST.
On this week's episode, investigative journalist Steve Fisher joins Vince to recount how a cartel seized control of a gold mine in Sonora, defended it with military-grade force, and extracted millions — until a rare coordinated operation took it back. From there, the conversation expands into cartel economics, drone bombings, special-forces training, extraditions to the U.S., and why CJNG now stands as Mexico’s most powerful criminal organization.
