look at the flow of narcotics within their own country and into the united states. and many of those people paid for that fight with their own lives. the problem is so profound. as you correctly pointed out, it is because there is such an extraordinary demand here in the united states that these drugs are moving across the border and the principle concern, the number one concern for the cartels is profit. as long as they can make money, lives of other human beings are of no matter or no concern to them. and also we know now that when it is that cartels inadvertently, perhaps mistakenly, execute americans, kidnap americans, the pressure becomes so extraordinary that they recognize that this is bad for the bottom line, that they are not going to make a profit because of what they have done here and so they quickly pivot. i suspect that the reason that these individuals -- this
i want to turn back to what we were discussing previously, the four americans that were kidnapped in mexico, two were found dead. two were found alive and are back in the u.s. julio, we were speaking about the influence of the cartels in much of northern mexico. but also just the extraordinarily violent system that exists in mexico right now where 180, 190,000 just under lopez obrador's administration, how can something like this change? >> that's the big question in this case, and in every other crime that takes place in mexico. what exactly is the mexican government doing to control this criminal organization that are growing stronger and stronger and more dangerous each day? and there are being fueled by americans demanding narcotics and also by the drugs coming from the -- the weapons and guns coming from the united states to
surprisingly yeah. it's not difficult to infiltrate at least at the lower level anarchist group show up and say you are part of the movement. getting higher up to the people really organizing this that might be difficult. literally show up in a black mask a and a lot of people won't ask you who you are. >> jesse: i think johnny just got his next assignment. gabriel, thank you very much. >> thank you, i appreciate it. >> jesse: coming up, there is a hostage crisis in mexico. the cartels have just kidnapped four americans. plus a major update on john fetterman's health.
york and $500 night hotel rooms. if we step foot in mexico we get kidnapped. and this comes on the heels of biden's visited to mexico, remember? where he claimed he had a strong relationship with the mexicans and a month later americans get kidnapped? we're living next door to terrorists and former attorney general bill barr says it's time to treat the mexican cartels like terrorists. what does that look like? let's ask the former attorney general bill barr who joins us now. so, attorney general, what does that mean when you say we need to treat the mexican cartel was like terrorists? >> they are terrorists there is another hostage and that's the mexican government. the mexican government is being held hostage by tens of thousands of paramilitary members of terrorist organizations that effectively control mexico. it's pretty close at this stage to a failed narco-state. they can use violence and oceans of cash to corrupt the
american citizens are being held in mexico. neighbors are holding us hostage. after four americans crossed into the mat morose mexico in a men any van with north carolina plates this weekend they were coming through texas until suddenly their minivan was targeted by cartels, shots were fired and cartels were caught on camera hauling our citizens into the back of their trucks we dont know why they were in mexico to begin with. the mexican president says they were there to buy prescription drugs. but we're also hearing from another source they may have been there for something else. but we still don't have enough information to verify. all we know is that our people are still missing. the fbi hasn't heard from them. is we don't even know if this is going to be a negotiation. the state department is now warning americans to avoid the matta morose mexico area issuing a level 4 travel warning a all e
government. the government has no will and it doesn't have the ability to deal with the cartels. and they are sitting next door producing mountains of poisonous drugs and killing over 100,000 americans a year which was the height of world war ii. that was our killed in action rate. so we are sustaining the same damage major war. from these groups, operating right beyond our reach. now it's one thing not to -- unwilling to do it yourself. the mexican government also frustrates the united states and is not willing to stand aside to let the united states do what has to be done to deal with these groups. it's an outrage. >> jesse: so if we have four americans captured by cartels, just a couple miles from texas, what do we do in a hostage situation like this and why do you think joe biden hasn't done more than he already has? >> well, the united states has
getting is a warning from the secretary of state. barely a beep from the binder. follow it? >> can you speak to the incident involving four u.s. citizens in mexico who have come under gunfire and have been kidnapped. >> i have a statement here that i want to read out to all of you. we are closely following the assault and kidnapping of four u.s. citizens in matamoros, mexico. these sorts of attacks are unacceptable. >> she had to read that. now, "primetime" is praying for these four americans because the white house track record here isn't great. we all know the americans biden left behind in afghanistan and we remember how long biden let brittney griner rot in a russian prison until eventually he sprung her. so, unless these four captured americans are black lesbians, they have could be in mexico for a while. here is the reality on the ground. if a mexican crosses our border, they get free airfare to new
been playing this game with mexico for a long time. mexico, with the exception of felipe calderon who is actually interested in fighting the cartels, the rest of them are perfectly willing to allow cartels to kill americans and do what they do. as long as they don't overthrow the mexican government. and, you know, that's the situation, they are just not work through. because whenever you give information or try to work on a law enforcement basis with the mexicans, the information goes right to the cartels. and so,. >> jesse: you would have to do something unilaterally in terms of an airstrike, helicopter raids, what are we talking about here? >> i think we have to deal with this group like we dealt with isis. we have to use every tool. we have to use economic. we have to use intelligence assets, military assets and law enforcement.
that bloody day 58 years ago, blood key sunday, many in ma, alabama -- in selma, alabama. the voting rights act followed. selma is a reckoning. the right to vote is a fundamental right of americans, and voting rights remain under assault, he said, adding the john lewis voting rights advancement act must be passed. a filibuster, he says, will not get in his way. 58 years ago today the bloody sunday, american history with current-day impact. that was president biden there in selma, alabama. want to let you know that we are waiting to hear from florida governor ron desantis. he is at the ray -- reagan library. when he begins his remarks, we will take you there live. eric: we'll hear from the governor in just a moment. we just heard or the president call for the protection of democracy and voting, and he has yet to announce his own reelection bid for a second term. but, or you know, today that's not stopping both declared and undeclared republican candidates from taking aim at him in
a national security issue. i mean, you look at other terrorist organizations, what's the difference between the cartels and hezbollah or isis? look who israel does, how it protects its country. it bombs iranian warehouses at the airport, for example, it goes after hezbollah in lebanon, it goes after areas in syria. why can't the u.s. do the same thing? do we need mexico's permission? >> we don't need mexico's permission to make that designation, but we coneed to understand -- we do need to understand the state of play. and i think many americans aren't being told how truly global the mexican cartels are. they're in about 40 countries. they work closely with china in a supply chain to take the precursor chemicals that china develops, have them delivered to mexico and then create fentanyl and other fake pills that kill americans at the tune of tens of thousands every year with. it's been growing during the
