2:37Now PlayingOn January 30th, 2021, Ioan Grillo, a journalist specializing in crime, drugs, police, and gangster politics, joined us on the Shawn Ryan Show to break down what's happening in Mexico. Ioan has been covering this area for almost two decades (20+ years) and has seen some of the worst things imaginable. We talked about current events such as Biden's most recent visit to Mexico, El Chapo's son, Ovidio "El Raton" Guzmán's recapture, and years earlier, how the cartels are dipping their hands in just about everything you can think of, and the corruption that follows. Ioan has interviewed many high-profile cartel sicarios and gives an insight into how ruthless they can be. He discussed the brutality of young sicarios at just 12 years old, sometimes taken from their families and forced to work under these cartels, becoming desensitized to the world. The question is: how does this stop? The drug trafficking, money laundering, fentanyl crisis, human trafficking, turf wars, missing people, mass graves being found, corruption in the government, and now they are even exploring gold mining. Do you think cartels should be labeled a terrorist organization?
