El Mencho Is Dead — Will the Cartel Target Americans Next?

Описание: If you’re watching cartel coverage, border security updates, or El Mencho breakdowns — this interview explains what happens NEXT.

Former mob boss Michael Franzese joins me to break down what really happens after cartel boss El Mencho is reportedly taken out.

Forget the movie version – Franzese compares the old-school American Mafia to the modern Mexican cartels, and he says the cartels are operating on a completely different, brutal level.

In this interview we walk through the power vacuum that follows a cartel leader’s removal, the battle for control inside these organizations, and the disturbing “training” stories coming out of cartel camps – including forced cannibalism and terror tactics designed to break recruits. Franzese explains why even the mob had lines it wouldn’t cross, and why he believes today’s cartels are closer to paramilitary forces than street gangs.

We also talk about what this chaos could mean for Americans: how cartel violence might spread, what it could mean for U.S. cities and the border, and whether our political leadership is taking the threat seriously. As always, these are Franzese’s opinions from a lifetime in organized crime – but the warnings are hard to ignore.
