About this listen

 When Mexico killed CJNG boss Nemesio “El Mencho,” the country convulsed in coordinated violence and chaos. This condensed 3-minute version (original 18 minutes) with hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti and guest Jose Granados Sea explains how U.S. intelligence created a narrow window to take down the cartel leader, why his removal sparked roadblocks, burned cars, and a power struggle, and how misinformation and sovereignty concerns shape the political fallout. Learn how CJNG operated like a transnational corporation and a franchise model, why successors use violence to prove control, and what this means for Mexico–U.S. cooperation, public opinion, and regional security. Timely analysis of cartel dynamics, CJNG, Mexico, U.S. intelligence, and international relations — clear, urgent context in minutes. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
