America has Sinaloa cartel ties
Danny needs to uh……learn more
The big question is why is the Americas so corrupt and having wars every 5 minutes and so dangerous , CIA and the USA . cause and effect
This needs to get more views. Grillo is a legend in journalism.
Best thing trump done was make those narco parasites, terrorists. They have destroyed Mexico. These dumb podcasters love to throw shade on their president, ungrateful losers.
@danny jones you look like a younger Barron Coleman lol
How can he say Nicolas Maduro is horrible president when Venezuela has been under the most draconian sanctions for an extended period of time???? That’s a very callous statement and it makes me question his integrity.
The Brain Head Looking Clown from the UK, OK!?!
lol i had this one saved in the arsenal, what a waste, this man is a half breed royal lineage retard w/ specs, GTFO
😂😂GO BACK TO ENFLAND AND TALK ABOUT YOU GUYS SNITCH HISTORY THROUGH WW1 AND 2
Before WAS CALLED MAFIA "LA FEDERACION " STARTED IN THE MID 80S UNTIL FELIX GALLARDO GOT ARRESTED, FUCK YOU GARBAGE BRITISH
😂😂BUDDY, THERE WAS NO CHINESE STARTING THE POPPIES, IT WAS PEDRO AVILES "EL LEON DE LA SIERRA" AND MAYO WAS NOT A BOSS IN THE 70S, HE WAS JUST A SICARIO😂😂GET YOU SHIT RIGHTBDUMB FUCK PRIOR GOING TO PODCAST AND TALK LIKE EXPERT
Trump does not need to make a deal with the cartels. Fucking latino drug dealers and gang members arent shit. Biden doesnt let them border hop anymore. I am so sick of the pseudo celebrity media wants to put on the mafia triad and cartels. If those historical losers could they wouldve done it by now. Stop platforming the fantasy ty.
God Danny is dumb…….doh
Was a really good one
Hallucinating is from sleep deprivation not cocaine. It starts in the peripheral vision and goes from there. Hallucinogens at least lsd and shrooms dont make u see things that dont exist they do change things that are there and real though
Wonder if grillo knows that recently 4 Sinaloa Mexicans were arrested at a meth lab in England 😵💫
It’s about time that the “cartels” finally get recognized and treated as terrorists.
i agree with danny, use cheap drones and blow them up. also make mexico let u go in and fuck the cartels up
Always such a comfort to know that the United States gov't. works with cannibals, regardless whether its Mexican cartel guys, or Israeli Mossad guys (like Jeffrey Epstein).
Mmhhmm, mmmhmm ,mmmhhmm ,mmhhmm . Gosh damn stfu and just listen. So damn annoying
I don't watch Danny's videos as a rule but I made an exception for Ioan and holy shit Danny has not changed one bit – still dumb as a rock, zones out, gets confused easily, has frequent "but why male models" moments where something is explained to him and the then asks a follow up question that's basically "explain that to me"… God damn! Worth it for Ioan though.
@dannyjones any shorter interviews? And since we’re in the US can we focus on us ?
Great interview
My aunt cuts this guys hair who was a marine raider. And i was at her house where she did hair. This was like 13 years ago he told me i should not join the military because i was too handsome and he didnt see it in me. He wasted no time in telling me he was on a mission in central america looking for a drug lab, it was underground and they didnt know about them yet. He fell into it somehow and was held captive and tortured for a few months and brought to a different location. He said one day he heard yelling and gun fire, shortly after he was rescued. He was bling folded and like beaten, burnt and you name it. Pretty wild. I know his younger cousin who is my age and its true. Guy was like 5’8 155 really nice looking guy and probably had bodies under his belt if he was doing that shit 20 years ago. Mind you he was out of the military when i spoke to him and that was 13 or so years ago or more and he must have been in the shit 20 years ago. Savage.
25:00 the unfair aspect is it's not a free market enterprise. They'll blow up your drug boat if your trying to sell the drugs yourself. If it's a scheduled Trump/CIA approved drug boat, it's ok.
He forgot to say that everyone in Mexico including the authorities think that la barbie was working for the DEA
Id Say Newcastle is the Miami of the Uk
2 seconds in & I'm Ali G🎉
