In the wake of a Mexican Cartel drone strike near El Paso, Texas, the U.S. government is scrambling to figure out what to do about it, and how to prevent it from happening in the first place. Plus, a new product that s about to spice things up in the bedroom.
00:01:06.000The New York Times has already reported
00:01:08.000that the DOD has been warning about Mexican cartels
00:01:12.000and their drone incursions for some time.
00:01:14.000You see, in response to Donald Trump's crackdown on the border,
00:01:17.000they've adapted and they've begun to utilize drones,
00:01:20.000which for anyone paying attention to the war in Ukraine can be massively devastating.
00:01:27.000If we as the United States do not get a handle on this, it could spell disaster.
00:01:32.000Guys, in all seriousness, a single drone carrying a small payload can blow up a plane as it's preparing to take off.
00:01:42.000It can kill hundreds if not thousands of people.
00:01:45.000About a decade ago, actually about 13 years ago, I was consulting a university group as well as the government on drone technologies as I and my friends had been hacking commercial grade drones.
00:01:59.000This is very early on to broadcast, to live stream, to explore this technology.
00:02:05.000And I was asked by a group of individuals with the government, what should we be concerned about as we prepare to regulate and address the incoming drone wave?
00:02:16.000And I said, a single individual can take one of these drones and load a bomb onto it and they can commit acts of terror that you cannot stop.
00:02:25.000You will see it coming and there's nothing you can do.
00:02:28.000Because even if you take the drone out in midair, that bomb is here.
00:02:33.000Now, the truth is, you could do the same for a car or an individual could do these things as well.
00:02:39.000What's scary about the drones is that they can be autonomously driven.
00:02:45.000That is, with a vehicle, with a personal act of terror, the individual must engage in this themselves, though we do have more and more remote or self-driving technologies.
00:02:54.000We saw that Cybertruck blow up in Vegas with drones.
00:02:59.000This was entering a space where you could set it, predetermine its course of action and deliver it with zero risk, increasing the likelihood that we see attacks like this.
00:03:09.000Now, this we may be OK on because the U.S. stopped it.
00:03:13.000But what happens if the cartels decide to actually strike against U.S. targets?
00:03:22.000And if the answer is no, what can we do?
00:03:25.000My friends, let's jump into the story where it's not just about this.
00:03:28.000Donald Trump has signaled a ground incursion into Mexico to go after these cartels.
00:03:34.000Many people are shocked and worried about what that could mean.
00:03:37.000And then, of course, for the eight hundred and forty seven times, someone said World War three is here.
00:03:43.000And in the context of it, I have to throw in there and people are all saying Civil War is here.
00:03:47.000So I'm about ready to just flip the table, go to the bar, order some wings and say I'm done listening because the world apparently is ending.
00:03:55.000Anyway, let's get into the news, actually, and talk about what's currently going on with this cartel drone strike.
00:04:01.000Before we do, my friends, head over to castbrew.com.
00:04:05.000Pick up Alex, I'm sorry, Dr. Alex Stein's Big Booty Latina Love Potion.

00:05:58.000So if you support the work, please consider it.
00:06:00.000Here's a story from the Wall Street Journal.
00:06:02.000FAA briefly closed El Paso airspace after Mexican cartel drone breach.
00:06:07.000Administration says all flights will resume hours after issuing the halt for special security reasons.
00:06:14.000Now, we have I believe we have an update here for from El Paso matters.
00:06:19.000FAA lifts unprecedented El Paso airspace restrictions after seven hours.
00:06:27.000The FAA dropped unprecedented airspace restrictions after seven hours.
00:06:32.000In the social media post, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the FAA and what the Trump admin calls the Department of War.
00:06:39.000I love what the Trump Department calls.
00:06:42.000Acted to address cartel drone incursions.
00:06:46.000The threat has been neutralized and there is no danger to commercial travel in the region.
00:06:52.000U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar challenged Duffy's claim at a news conference Wednesday morning, quote,
00:06:57.000I believe the FAA owes the community and the country an explanation as to why this happened so suddenly and abruptly and was lifted so suddenly and abruptly.
00:07:06.000And based on the information I have right now, which is the same information, the House Armed Services Committee has been provided the ranking member in Congress.
00:07:14.000That is not what we in Congress have been told.
00:07:17.000She declined to go into detail on what information she had received of the airspace restrictions.
00:07:20.000Late Tuesday, the FAA issued what what are known as notice to air missions or NOTAM, alerting pilots at the airspace.
00:07:28.000I believe it's notice to airmen, not air missions.
00:07:30.000I could be wrong because I don't know that commercial flights or missions at the airspace over the most of El Paso and over a large swath of New Mexico land west of Santa Teresa would be closed for 10 days.
00:07:44.000The restrictions took took effect at 1130 p.m.
00:07:47.000And the notices warned pilots of the U.S. government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threat.
00:07:57.000The FAA announced shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday on social media at the El Paso airspace restrictions had been lifted.
00:08:04.000El Paso leaders sharply criticized the FAA's actions, quote,
00:08:09.000This was a major and unnecessary disruption, one that has not occurred since 9-11.
00:08:18.000We are the sixth largest city in the state of Texas, and we are the 22nd largest city in the United States.
00:08:23.000Without hospital, military operations and emergency services and critical infrastructures that depend on coordinated and reliable aerospace operations, decisions made without notice or coordination puts lives at risk and creates unnecessary dangers and confusion.
00:08:52.000There were concerns, the DOD, the DOW, whatever you want to call it, and the FAA, that we faced a very serious threat, weaponization of drones from cartels.
00:09:04.000And that, unfortunately, sparked a panic.
00:09:08.000I'm not going to say that everyone's running around with their hair on fire, but someone clearly said, shut it down, 10 day restriction now.
00:09:14.000And that says to me that what the cartels were doing was not just drug transport, but perhaps something more serious.
00:09:20.000The question I have for you guys, throw it back into the debate.
00:11:03.000That's where the U.S. stages the incursion to justify the incursion, to give themselves the casus belli.
00:11:10.000I'd make the argument that, based on what we're seeing, there's a decent probability that someone just screwed up incompetence and inexperience.
00:11:49.000Air space closure followed spat over drone related tests and party balloon shoot down sources say.
00:11:56.000I'm going to tell you this, my friends.
00:11:59.000This report came out and our sources here at Timcast in the Department of War have told us this is not correct.
00:12:09.000So they have disputed these claims pushed by CBS News for posterity.
00:12:14.000I'll tell you those claims and then reiterate the Department of War has told us these are not correct.
00:12:19.000CBS News reports the unexpected but brief air space closure in the Texas border city of El Paso stemmed from disagreements between the FAA and Pentagon officials over drone related tests.
00:12:29.000Multiple sources close to the matter told CBS News.
00:12:32.000The Pentagon had undertaken extensive planning on the use of military technology near Fort Bliss military base that abuts the El Paso International Airport to practice taking down drones.
00:12:42.000Two sources identify the technology as a high energy laser.
00:12:46.000Meetings were scheduled over safety impacts.
00:12:49.000Pentagon officials wanted to test technology sooner saying that U.S. Code one three zero I requirements governing the protection of certain facilities from unmanned aircraft had been met.
00:12:58.000FAA administrator Brian Bedford on Tuesday night decided to close the air sport airspace without alerting the White House Pentagon or Homeland Security officials sources said.
00:13:08.000Bedford told officials the airspace restrictions would be in place to ensure safety until issues with the Department of War Department could be resolved.
00:13:41.000So I'm not entirely sure, but you know, we'll see.
00:13:44.000These were the NOTAM notices that went out.
00:13:47.000This was the first one, which of course absolutely does include the United States government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft.
00:13:56.000If it is determined the aircraft poses an imminent security threat.
00:13:59.000I'm gonna have to tell you my friends.
00:14:01.000I do not believe it that this was simply a dispute between the FAA and the DOW on drone tests.
00:14:11.000Shutting down airspace over an entire city over their airport is not something done lightly.
00:14:17.000And I really doubt there was just bickering between two departments.
00:14:21.000Considering the FAA under the DOT under Duffy and the Department of War under Hegelsteth.
00:15:00.000Trump admin officials have warned for months about Mexican cartels using drones to the US Mexico border saying they are used to surveil border agents and smuggle drugs.
00:15:08.000Mexican officials have publicly been more suspect downplaying the threat drones pose at the border.
00:15:14.000What is clear is that drones have become a prominent tool and weapon used by Mexican cartels across Mexico in recent years, according to cartel operatives.
00:15:23.000Security analysts and some government officials on both sides of the border.
00:15:26.000Stephen will be director of counter drone opera program at the US Department of Homeland Security testified to Congress in July that US officials detected more than 60,000 drone flights within 500 meters of the US Mexico border.
00:15:39.000The second half of 2024 or 326 flights per day, many at night and above the 400 foot maximum altitude allowed for drones.
00:15:59.000U.S. officials have seized thousands of pounds of drugs transported across the border on drones since 2019, including over 1,200 pounds in the second half of 2024.
00:16:10.000In October of 23, he said U.S. officials intercepted a drone carrying 3.6 pounds of fentanyl pills traveling from Mexico into the US.
00:16:18.000He suggested officials had arrested more than 1,500 people in relation to such drone activity on the border.
00:16:26.000We got this report recently in January.
00:16:50.000If we are still seeing these drone incursions, the answer is I'm going to have to say no, because the fear is this could result in US operations to finally put a stop to what these cartels are doing.
00:17:03.000And I'll tell you what really worries me, my friends, that we have cartel activity here in the United States, notably near the D.C. area.
00:17:31.000Trump says you asked to, quote, start hitting land in Mexico targeting drug cartels.
00:17:36.000This report, of course, just from one month ago.
00:17:39.000US President Trump announced Thursday that American forces would begin ground operations in Mexico targeting cartels following months of naval strikes in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean.
00:17:52.000We're going to start now hitting land with regard to the cartels.
00:17:57.000Trump provided no additional information on the timing of the planned land attacks.
00:18:01.000Any military strikes on Mexico territory without Mexico City's consent would violate international law and mark an unprecedented attack on a US ally and major trading partner.
00:18:11.000The statement follows Saturday's Delta forces led capture of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro.
00:18:17.000At a Caracas compound where he was sheltering the culmination of an extended US military and economic campaign against his government.
00:18:24.000Maduro now faces drug trafficking charges in New York.
00:18:27.000Ground strikes on cartels in Mexico would represent a substantial expansion of US military involvement in the region.
00:18:34.000Mexico's two most powerful criminal organizations, the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, control vast territories and have been locked in violent competition that killed more than 30,000 people last year.
00:18:46.000Trump designated six Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations in February of 2025, a move Mexico condemned as threatening its sovereignty and potentially justifying military intervention.
00:18:58.000Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum has proposed constitutional reforms to strengthen protections against unauthorized foreign operations and has consistently rejected any US military presence on Mexican soil.
00:19:10.000Scheinbaum said Monday that Americans do not belong to any single nation.
00:19:14.000Really responding to Trump's assertion of Washington's dominance over the hemisphere after Maduro's capture.
00:19:21.000Trump said Sunday that Sunday he had pressed Scheinbaum to allow deployment of US troops against Mexican cartels, an offer he said she had previously rejected.
00:19:31.000We have another update on the US operations against drug trafficking cartels in the Pacific.
00:19:37.000NBC News reporting US strike on alleged drug boat kills two and leaves a survivor.
00:19:42.000The bulk of US strikes near Venezuela and Colombia took place from September to December.
00:19:47.000But the US has stepped up attacks again in recent weeks.
00:19:50.000Now, one thing I think you should consider is the possibility of a false flag.
00:19:54.000If Donald Trump does want to invade Mexico, then again, we do need a casus belli.
00:20:01.000And while I will simply say it's much more likely that the cartels are launching these incursions against us.
00:20:09.000You need to understand that governments have historically even the US government launched attacks against itself to justify this.
00:20:15.000So what if and again, a simple what if the US launches drone strikes against itself on the southern border?
00:20:23.000Triggers a closure of airspace says, look what happened and then ask the public for permission.
00:20:30.000Will you support our ground operations in Mexico?
00:20:34.000Considering what we've seen so far, I do not believe this is the case.
00:20:38.000I do believe one should consider the possibility.
00:20:41.000But I believe if this actually was an attempt to generate a cause for war, the US would simply say the cartels attacked us shutting down our airspace and we will not tolerate this.
00:20:52.000It doesn't mean they would immediately move to strike ground targets in Mexico.
00:21:19.000The US said Monday that it hit a vessel allegedly transporting drugs in the eastern Pacific, killing two people and leaving one survivor in the second such strike in the past four days.
00:21:30.000Citing intelligence, US Southern Command said on Monday on X, the vessel was transition, transiting along known narco trafficking routes in the eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco trafficking operations.
00:21:42.000Two narco terrorists were killed and one survived the strike.
00:21:45.000It said, adding the Coast Guard was activated for search and rescue operations.
00:21:49.000Now, what I find interesting is how many people in this country oppose strikes against these vessels.
00:21:56.000You've got people coming out on the left largely saying these are fishermen, civilians.
00:22:02.000Now, I'm going to tell you this, my friends.
00:22:04.000I'm not going to just give them the benefit of the doubt and say, sure, I blindly trust them.
00:22:10.000But in the meantime, we don't really have much to go on.
00:22:14.000I believe that the US is going to be striking boats in the Pacific and in the Gulf, in the Caribbean.
00:22:20.000Then they need to give a full accounting and report to the American people.
00:22:24.000That being said, I give them so much more.
00:22:29.000So much more credit on this one than I would give any previous administration on our strikes in the Middle East.
00:22:34.000We know the Obama administration was targeting civilians, but he would just say or I should say the administration would come out and go.
00:22:48.000However, in the meantime, we have much more.
00:22:53.000However, I would say I'd give them much more runway in that targeting suspected traffickers of drugs and people bringing these drugs into our country or just transporting them into the country of our allies warrants a strike so much more than anything we did in the Middle East.
00:23:59.000And someone's got to be held to account.
00:24:01.000But don't come to me ignoring everything that Obama did in the Middle East.
00:24:06.000And even right now, and even with Ukraine, an act like this is somehow unprecedented, my friends.
00:24:13.000Axios reporting similarly that Trump was going to get more military invasion invasions, not just Mexico, pointing out, of course, Mexico is one of them.
00:25:06.000After Trump said that we could potentially go into Mexico, the Mexican president, of course, Scheinbaum said, I don't believe in an invasion.
00:25:14.000Well, my friends, how could they possibly respond?
00:25:17.000Brookings argues and again, very anti Trump.
00:25:20.000They say if the Trump administration undertakes military action, whether by coercing a nominal agreement from Mexico, how would they react?
00:25:27.000They're going to say, regardless, yielding U.S. military presence would entail immense political costs for the Scheinbaum administration.
00:25:33.000Nationalist sentiments would flare as Mexicans decry U.S. actions against their government.
00:25:38.000Public opinion is overwhelmingly against any U.S. military action, with some 80 percent of poll respondents rejecting the idea.
00:25:45.000Conceding to the U.S. military actions on Mexico soil would also complicate Scheinbaum's relations with the Mexican military, an insular, opaque and powerful institution that has long disliked any kind of meaningful civilian oversight.
00:25:58.000Well, my friends, Jamie Dimon chimes in saying World War Three has already begun.
00:26:05.000They say fear mongering or legitimate concern how to keep your money safe.
00:26:10.000Jamie Dimon, you know him, you hate him.
00:26:13.000That's right. CEO of J.P. Morgan told a crowd in October of 2024.
00:26:26.000At the time, Dimon named the potential conflict between the Western countries and China, Russia, Iran, North Korea as far more concerning than any potential instability in global financial markets.
00:26:35.000J.P. Morgan Chase has run scenarios that will shock you.
00:26:38.000Of course, World War Three hasn't truly begun.
00:26:41.000But since Dimon made his remarks, global geopolitical tensions have only risen since.
00:26:47.000They say last year, Trump administration levied sweeping tariffs against China and Russia, allies, just Canada and the EU.
00:26:53.000They say the prime minister of the UK, Keir Starmer, said in a statement, I need a decision about the future status of Greenland belongs to the people.
00:27:02.000But the reason why Trump Trump want Trump.
00:27:05.000The reason why Trump wants access to Greenland is for national security purposes so that Russia and China won't have control of the Northwest Passage.
00:27:13.000My friends, it seriously does look like we are gearing up for some major warfare.
00:27:20.000The Week reported, how close are we to World War Three?
00:27:25.000And I believe this is actually from just last week, this story.
00:27:30.000They say Peter Apps, the author of The Next World War, wrote, quote, from Whitehall to Washington, from Estonia to Taiwan, military powers large and small are escalating their preparations for a global confrontation.
00:27:43.000Indeed, my friends, don't forget the second American Civil War is already here, too.
00:27:49.000We've got this one from who, what, why.
00:27:52.000We've got this story from Magnolia Tribune.
00:27:56.000Waltz's Civil War rhetoric irresponsible.
00:27:58.000That's why Tim Waltz asked, is this Fort Sumter?
00:28:01.000And then, of course, from Newsweek, Republican declares the second Civil War has already started.
00:28:06.000You know, at this point, with everything going on, I'm ready to just flip the table over.
00:28:10.000I'm going to go get some Buffalo Wild Wings.
00:28:13.000I love their garlic parmesan and just say, fine, whatever.
00:29:39.000Starts wobbling more and more and more.
00:29:41.000And what we're seeing right now with all of this instability, all of this conflict is the wobbling back and forth violently until finally it snaps and it comes crashing down.
00:30:01.000In the grand context of things, but to a personal level.
00:30:04.000The security issues that we've faced here have not been abated.
00:30:08.000And the costs are absolutely psychotic.
00:30:11.000And we are struggling with figuring out how to continue the operations due to the escalation of security threats, the shooting that happened here, the threats against my life, our staff, etc.
