Hello from Tucson / INT

In this video, I talk about Navy Seals that I met here in Arizona, how Mexico’s killing of El Mencho — the world’s most-wanted drug trafficker who founded and led the Jalisco New Generation cartel — could have security ramifications in Tucson and the wider U.S. … and a little bit on Nancy Guthrie, who was abducted just a few minutes down the road from me.

Due to my phone overheating and a Substack tech issue, the second portion of my video comes out here as a second post.

And here are some photos from my trip.
