You're starting off, you're, you know, fresh in the cartel.

You just got out of the training.

And then you find out that one of the National Guard members that you guys are paying off is actually acting as an informant or also on the adversary's payroll, whatever the case may be, right?

And then you go and you tell the boss, hey, I know this, this, and this.

I'll go kill him.

Or I'll go torture him.

Then you move your way up.

Or, hey, I know a way that we can move this much of, this amount of undetected fentanyl from...

one American state to another, no one's gonna figure it out, and I have a good connect over there, let's do it.

Okay, they run the operation, profits increase.

Now you're on your way up.

It's action-based and really showing loyalty, your willingness to die for the organization.

But this all starts off, yeah, on social media.

It's ridiculous.

And the Mexican government has done like a crackdown.

They've removed multiple TikTok accounts.

But there can only be so much oversight with that.

Social media is so vast.

And...

Particularly when you have young people who are using a tool that didn't exist before.
