Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
What the hell is happening with Mexico? Don't let your kids go for spring break. Brandon Darby talks about what's happening in Mexico, and it's really, really good and a little bit frightening as well. Also, how is somebody who we did not even know their name 24 hours ago now the one guy that everyone wants to talk about? How we can understand what happened with America, the gold industry,
Chapter 2: What recent events in Mexico are influencing cartel violence?
and the hockey game and UFOs. Lou Elizondo joins us to talk about the latest on the search for UFOs. Are they real? Is something coming our way? All of that and more on today's podcast. Let me tell you about relief factor. I know a thing or two about being in pain for years.
Chapter 3: How did U.S. forces impact the situation with El Mencho?
I suffered from pain in my hands that was so severe, I thought I would never be able to write again. I don't like typing as much as I like actually physically writing. Well, that changed. Thank God. Thank God for relief factor. When you hurt, it's not just an inconvenience. It is personal. It touches everything.
Shaking a hand, holding a pen, even simple everyday things start to feel like climbing up a hill.
Chapter 4: What was the significance of the U.S. winning gold in ice hockey?
I tried to push through it. Most people do, but it doesn't work all the time. Relief Factor is an absolute game changer. It was for me. It is a daily supplement designed to support your body's response to inflammation and for me personally. It made a huge difference. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.
If pain has started to crowd out the things that you love, whether that's writing, working, or just using your hands without thinking about it, whatever hurts, you owe it to yourself.
Chapter 5: What claims did Obama make about alien life on Earth?

Chapter 6: Are there classified documents regarding extraterrestrial visits?
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
Chapter 7: How could the existence of aliens change our understanding of life?
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
Brandon Darby is joining us. He is the editor-in-chief for Breitbart Texas. He is also a Breitbart Cartel Chronicle co-founder and director. He was on with me in April. And in April we talked about this particular cartel and the head. And he said, the United States isn't serious unless we get this guy, but this guy is protected by their, um, the Mexican secretary of defense.
Well, apparently that has changed. So we wanted to bring Brandon on. First of all, Brandon, you've been reporting on this for years and years, if not decades. Um, Did you ever think this day would come?
No.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of U.S. actions on Mexican cartels?
And Glenn, thank you for having me on. Good morning to you and your listeners. I am super excited. I did not expect this. I believed the Trump administration when they were warning Mexico. They said basically, hey, you're going to get this guy. You're going to take this seriously or we're going to take it seriously without your without your consent.
And I thought that that's probably what would end up happening. I did not expect Mexico to, to play ball and actually help. No.
So why, what do you think the president said to the, because I don't think the president of Mexico is a fan of America and certainly not a fan of Donald Trump's. What, what did, what did he say? Do you think that got them to act on this? Cause this is a really big deal.
Right. So I think my best estimation at this point of what happened was that the Mexican president, Gloria Scheinbaum, knew about this, but that the rest of her cabinet did not. I know that roughly, was it probably February 15th or so, Navy SEALs began to train a group within the Mexican army, FEDENA. Um, for a specific training that no one, it was obscure. No one knew what it was about.
Well, it turns out this is what it was about. Um, so I know that those Mexican military folks were sequestered, so their phones or any mechanism they had to communicate with the outside world was taken from them.
um and they did this operation uh the mexican government does operations so i think that uh we you know it's very well documented the the current secretary of defense uh for mexico uh being you know heavily connected with with el mencho uh so obviously they didn't know. So it was kept very secret.
There is a possibility that this was done without the approval of the Mexican president, but she is kind of running a victory lap so far. So I don't think that's the case. I think it really is a situation. If we look at the history, every time the U.S. has found El Mencho and tried to work with counterparts in Mexico to get him.
El Mencho was tipped off and was told, hey, they're about to get you. So he would be missing or he would be gone. And this time that did not happen. This time it was kept close to the chest and they were able to pull it off. And now he's gone. I question the narrative that that El Mencho and two others were injured and then were being flown to Mexico City and they all happened to die on the
the helicopter ride to Mexico City, right? I question that narrative. I think that he was probably going to die. He was probably killed. They probably decided like, hey, if we let this guy in our system, he is so connected that he's going to get out. He's going to be able to get out and kill our families. So I think they killed him. That's the most likely scenario. And now...
