Donald J. Trump

I know that there was the Mexican cartels

Reached out quietly, looking to make a deal to back away, to allow themselves to preserve their life and their, I guess, their existing fortune.

I don't know where they stand in that negotiation.

That's not my business, but...

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

We are, hang on, hang on, hang on.

We are breaking some news here because this is, talk to about at least what you can talk about that, about the Mexican cartels kind of said when they saw the army down there and realizing it had Navy SEALs and direct interdiction and President Trump was prepared to do it, right?

Doesn't care what the Mexican government's got to say about it.

All of a sudden, they're a lot more open to some sort of lay down their arms and stop this.

Is that what I'm hearing?

Yes.

Look, the fact is the cartels have unbelievable brutality against any of their opponents or against any Mexican citizen or even a Mexican policeman that tries to stand up against them.

But they've never felt JSOC level energy directed at them.

And I think they realize just how many of them would get annihilated quickly, whether through precision strikes on the Hacienda, precision strikes on any of the factory infrastructure they have.

And you would stack a lot of Sicario's if they decided to get in a fight with JSOC level expertise.

Look, the fact is the cartels, they nibble around the edges with some expensive drones or some other expensive capability that they like to show off.

It's largely parade equipment.

parade level efforts.

If you decided to get very hard and kinetic against them, you would, not to say you wouldn't lose some friendlies, but you would definitely decimate the cartels.

And I think they realize that Trump is serious enough.
