The streets are burning and the cartels are taking over. After the death of El Mencho, Mexico has transformed into a war zone—and American tourists are caught in the crossfire.

In this episode of Casual Politics, we dive deep into the erupting violence across Mexico following the military operation that took down the leader of the CJNG. We analyze the terrifying firsthand accounts of tourists stranded in Puerto Vallarta and discuss the broader implications of a destabilized border. Beyond Mexico, we shift gears to the UK, where the arrest of Peter Mandelson signals a new chapter in the Jeffrey Epstein files and a potential shift in global accountability. We also tackle the current state of the U.S. political landscape, from the GOP’s strategy for the midterms to the "locker room" decorum of the current administration. Whether it’s economic tariffs or the influence of figures like Cash Patel, we break down the news with the candor you won’t find on mainstream networks.
