0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks.

0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>It is Wednesday, August fifth, and a popular TikToker was

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 2>live streaming to his six hundred thousand followers when he

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 2>was executed live for everybody to see. And with that,

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.760
<v Speaker 2>welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ.

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Rose.

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm scared to open the damn Internet.

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what is going on? I told you.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 3>I Unfortunately that what you just described is still available

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 3>as of this recording.

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Anyone to see. If you go on to X and

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I saw someone wrote my god.

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 3>First I pull up X and I see Perez Hilton

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 3>and now I see this TikTok influencer murdered.

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Like, what is going on?

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm afraid to open up a social media app at

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 3>this point.

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>This is ropes.

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 2>This is incredible. These incredible tools we have that you

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>can go live on any street at any moment. But

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>the thing about live robes, things happen, and this was

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 2>it is incredible to watch. And yes we did look

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 2>at it. For the sake of this reporting, we do

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>not recommend it.

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:16.919
<v Speaker 3>But Robes.

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>This was a very popular and very young, twenty five

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>years old influencer in Mexico, twenty.

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Five years old, and you know what his videos were

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 3>his live streaming videos were comedic.

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>He was having fun.

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 3>In fact, Goofy even and in this particular this, by

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 3>the way, and what's exceptionally concerning, is that this happened

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 3>on a busy street in front of a KFC restaurant.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 3>He's Goofully dressed up as a basically a door dash

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 3>driver or a delivery driver. He's got the big square

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 3>backpack where he has food on and he's he's being

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 3>funny and silly and live streaming with two of his friends.

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>And this is at eight pm at night.

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 3>And the way it was described in terms of its

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>location just feet away from the prosecutor's office.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>So this is a place where it's not rural. It

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>wasn't in the middle of the night.

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't someplace where a hit could happen and no

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 3>one would know who was coming and where they left from.

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 3>You can clearly see the two men who pull up

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 3>on a motorcycle, and I believe it's the driver who

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 3>pulls out a gun and.

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Shoots him in the head in the middle of the

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>live stream.

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>And we're talking about Sezar Gastellone is his name, and

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 2>he is described as a comedian influencer online. But yes,

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>he has has accumulated six hundred thousand followers now from

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>what I had seen and what he has done is

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of pretty silly, goofy videos and comedy sketches.

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 2>So it's that's his lane. It seems difficult to think

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>could understand and why is it that? How he could

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>drawn the eye of whomever who thought this was necessary

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>to do? I don't know, but robes, they knew exactly

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 2>where he.

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Was well, and that's the point, and that's the scary thing.

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 3>We actually did an episode on this at the end

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 3>of last year about just how many live streamers have

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 3>had issues with yes being targeted and then attacked or

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 3>murdered because it's very obvious where you are. Anyone who

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 3>is following you, one of his six hundred thousand followers,

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 3>they can see your exact location. They know where you

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 3>are in real time. So if you have any enemies

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 3>or anyone is out to get you or out to

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 3>even make a spectacle of you, that is the scary

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 3>thing about live streaming. You are known, your location is

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 3>known to every single person who was tuned into your

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 3>channel or to your broadcast, and the.

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Clip robes of that's going around as a shorter clip

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>than twelve seconds or something of what happens there at

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the end, But this was a longer live stream I

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 2>have seen even about a two minute version. They were

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 2>his friends, were riding around in a car. Even they

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>got out, they went inside the restaurant, they came out,

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>so if anyone was following him online and following the

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>live stream, they had a while to figure out the

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 2>location and figure out where they were going and to

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 2>just be lying in wait almost if they wanted to.

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 2>And that is is not the first one we've seen

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 2>similar to this. We'll explain here shortly, but we'll explain

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 2>at least this one and what you see in this video.

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>And as you were setting up robes, they looked like

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 2>he and his friends. They all have on hats. Here

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 2>has a hoodie on and a cowboy hat and glasses.

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 2>They're laughing. They're smiling through this video. They're in the

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 2>car driving around for a bit and they get out robes,

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 2>they go inside. They're standing around inside and they come

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>out and robes. This is where everything seemed to be

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 2>fine and cool, and they were laughing. So you got

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>at least three guys here cast alone is on the

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>right of them all, and it has to be a

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.919
<v Speaker 2>fourth person who was shooting the videos, So four of

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>them have to be standing there on the side of

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>the street outside the KFC.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, they weren't blending in.

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 3>They were dressed in bright orange delivery jackets, so they

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 3>stood out in addition to wearing their hats, but they

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 3>were in costume.

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>They were dressed up, and they were bright. They were beacons,

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 1>so to speak.

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Not only could you have seen them on your live stream,

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 3>but also when you pulled up or if you were

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.480
<v Speaker 3>targeting them, they were really obvious standing in a well

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 3>lit area in front of this fast food restaurant, this KFC,

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 3>in bright orange garb with backpacks of food delivery drivers,

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 3>and you see it. It's surreal to watch because, as

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 3>you described, Babe, they were laughing, they were being funny,

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 3>they were making a comedic video.

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>So everybody was in good spirits.

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 3>There was no sense or feeling of danger or worry

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 3>or concern. Nobody was looking over their shoulders. This wasn't

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.719
<v Speaker 3>some serious live stream where they were calling out somebody

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 3>or airing grievances. No, they were just having a good

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 3>old time on a Tuesday night at eight pm, and

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 3>you see this motorcycle with a driver, and there I

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 3>have seen now people have obviously taken these videos or

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.279
<v Speaker 3>this live stream and zoomed in and before they came

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 3>up close, you can see the men's faces very clearly.

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>So obviously there was a man hunt underway.

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 3>But I believe when they came up closer, the driver

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 3>who ended up doing the shooting had his They both

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 3>had helmets on.

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>He had, I believe his helmet down, but yeah.

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 3>He just they slow down, and it doesn't even look

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 3>like Sezar Gastalloum even noticed they were behind him.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't even look like he turned around to look

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>at them.

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't even aware it seemed that somebody was coming

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 3>up behind him.

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>He might have just quickly glanced. But they've got smiles

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>on their faces.

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>They and the here's the weird thing, Grobes. There are

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 2>two people on the motorcycle. You would think the person

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>in the back was going to be the shooter. Yes,

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 2>but the driver is the shooter. Now, if you know

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>anything at all about a motorcycle, you have to stop

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>that bike and get it in a particular position. If

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 2>you're going to take one hand off of a handle.

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 3>You would know this more than I would. You do

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 3>you ride a motorcycle as.

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 2>A sou you have to come to so the driver

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 2>here Robes had to come to a full stop, make

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 2>a movement to take out a gun, shoot, put the

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 2>bike back in gear. What I'm saying is Robes this

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>as in real time, took a beat. He they he

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>pulls up calmly. They aren't alarmed at all. Robes they

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 2>turn around.

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're not even paying attention.

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 2>They're not. And he turns around. Nobody he's worried. It's

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 2>just a gallon a motorcycle rope. They have to make

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 2>a full stop. This takes a moment to do. You

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>have to put the gun back in your pants and

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>take off. So it wasn't when we say there was

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the two guys on a bike. It wasn't a drive

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 2>by situation. It was a pull up, stop, execute, and

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>take off. I was struck by how much time he

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>had to react. That he didn't right.

0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Because there was no fear. And you know we even

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 3>you just freezed the frame and paused. And the two

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 3>friends who are with Gustelum they saw are smiling, but

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:38.840
<v Speaker 3>they they're turning around.

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>They're smiling. He looks back at the guys because they've stopped.

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 3>You're like, hey, maybe you're thinking, hey, they're fans of

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 3>ours there.

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>They know we're doing a live stream.

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 3>And these guys who are pulling up are in like

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 3>polo shirts and jeans.

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>They look casual as hell.

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 3>They don't look like they're coming up as assassins or

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 3>like cartel members who are out to get someone.

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>They don't look threatening, they don't look scary.

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 2>But look at the friends. The Gastoloma's with. He's just

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 2>standing there and he turns. But his friend here he

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 2>sees something first and makes him take off from Oh,

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>he sees the gun.

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>He sees a gun at the very last second. You're right,

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:13.839
<v Speaker 1>but like.

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 2>He's smiling, never reacts, He never reacts to the He

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>never ropes, ever reacts.

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 3>I imagine he thought he was probably fans of his.

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 3>He's got six hundred thousand followers. He's doing a live stream.

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, you and I have been up plenty of

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 3>times on the corner of streets.

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I have been. I know you must have been too.

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 3>I've been in dangerous neighborhoods where you're going live and

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 3>you're looking over your shoulder, your photographer. I've had a

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 3>scary moment or two where people have come up and

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 3>threatened you or threatened to do something to you on

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 3>live national television.

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I have actually had that experience.

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.719
<v Speaker 3>But most of the time, when people approach you when

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 3>you're going on live, it's they're excited, they're friendly, they

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 3>want to be a part of things, they want to

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 3>know what's going on. I don't think most of the time,

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 3>or any of the time, you're anticipating someone coming out

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 3>to target you, to kill.

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 1>You in the middle of and his mind is elsewhere.

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 3>He's doing a live stream, he's in a comedic sketch

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 3>sketch us, he's entertaining people.

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>He's not thinking about that his life is at stake.

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 2>We've we've we've reacted exactly how he did, absolutely on

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 2>live television when better instincts told us we should probably

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 2>react and run or something. Well, it's absolutely plenty of time.

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 2>So when you put me in that headspace, I see

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>why he is performing. I have to do this is

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 2>the most important thing right now, to whatever. But there

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 2>was no Danate. These two guys were up. They pull

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 2>up on a bike and stop it looks like maybe

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a dirt bike and stop and he had to pull out. So, yes,

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 2>that search that is underway. This is in Sineloa State

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.199
<v Speaker 2>down there in Mexico, which has been certainly the site

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 2>of play of cartel violence. Just how much I was

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and you might be as well, folks surprised to hear

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 2>just how many influencers as social media influencers are being

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 2>killed in Sineloa State alone. Stay here, we'll tell you

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>how many in the past year and also why cartels

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 2>are targeting them.

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back to Amy and TJ as we are talking

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 3>about another disturbing video. This one was initially a live

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 3>stream of a very popular TikTok influencer. His name is

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Sesar Guestalloom had nearly six hundred thousand followers.

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Was doing a.

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.320
<v Speaker 3>Comedic routine in front of a KFC when he was

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 3>targeted and murdered on the live stream just a few

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.439
<v Speaker 3>feet away from the prosecutor's office there in that area

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 3>of Mexico. And Mexico Security Cabinet wrote that it is

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 3>yes investigating the why behind this and they believe that

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:11.079
<v Speaker 3>he had some posts which may have referred to a

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 3>faction of a criminal group yes, we're talking about cartels,

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 3>but they are now investigating. Mexico's president said that they

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 3>are working to try and determine who is responsible, to

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 3>identify the killers, to identify the mastermind. But we know

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 3>this is a very complicated situation in Mexico, and this

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 3>is certainly not an isolated event.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>It's weird Rovia. It was last year the young lady

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 2>that was really shocking. She's in a salon. Was she

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 2>working or a customer at the time.

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 3>She was at a beauty salon where she was live

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 3>streaming on TikTok, So it was my understanding that she

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 3>was a customer there.

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I haven't just I don't know why that detail got

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.959
<v Speaker 2>to me that moment, but she was the same thing.

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 2>She was on a live stream and her followers saw

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:53.599
<v Speaker 2>her shot.

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 3>And killed twenty three years old beauty influencer at a

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.680
<v Speaker 3>beauty salon in a very similar area of Mexico.

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Marquez is her name, but Robes I was like, wait

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>a minute, the number of influencers killed, not just in Mexico,

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>in this state alone in Mexico. I was shocked to

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 2>see this.

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, at least is the way they put it, So

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.680
<v Speaker 3>there could be more, which is a little frightening, But

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 3>at least twelve twelve social media influencers have been murdered

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 3>in that particular state. And they say this all happened

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 3>when two factions of this cartel began their battle in

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 3>September of twenty twenty four, and so somehow, some way,

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 3>these social media influencers are literally being caught in the

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 3>crosshairs of these two fighting factions. And to think that

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 3>a dozen influencers in a little more than a year

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 3>have died in this very particular area of Mexico, that

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:51.520
<v Speaker 3>is dionne frightening.

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 2>They say they're getting caught up robes in propaganda. There

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 2>is another war. Yes that car tells wage that they

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 2>are pretty damn good at and propaganda now and they

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 2>know how important messaging is online in that space, and

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that is where they are now living and eliminating threats

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 2>to their image or their.

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Messaging, instilling fear and.

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, to get other people to do some of their

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 2>messaging for them. There's another that says it's happening so

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 2>much a money laundering scheme that they pressure some of

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 2>these influencers into some kind of way making their I

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>guess it's online money in some way to some kind

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 2>of way launder dirty money. Bro. It's I guess we

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 2>should understand and shouldn't be surprised by this, but this

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 2>is shocking to see what happened to him. It's shocking

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>that something like that rose unbeknownst to followers, could just happen.

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 2>You could be doing some people now you can choose

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>to look at it or not a lot other people

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 2>just watching him have fun.

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they had no idea.

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, no one had any idea about what was going

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 3>to happen. And now I think it's it's sickening to

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 3>know that it's still up. I just think on the

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 3>heels of Perez Hilton too. Just this is We've had

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 3>a very disturbing twenty four hours of social media, a

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 3>very disturbing twenty four hours of live streaming to be specific,

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 3>where people have seen things they didn't want to see.

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 2>And they choose to take that down there.

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I believe, so.

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 3>I would think, I don't, I mean X, it is

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 3>up on X. I mean we just checked and this

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 3>all comes on the heels. Remember it was it earlier

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 3>this week or last week I brought up to you.

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 3>I thought, look, is this a story worth pursuing because

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 3>I saw a headline fourteen mayors have been murdered in

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Mexico in that same period of time. So you've got

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 3>a dozen social media influencers murdered. You have at least

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 3>fourteen mayors murdered in Mexico since October of twenty twenty four,

0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.280
<v Speaker 3>so that same period of time when that cartel all

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 3>battle began. And just to get your head around the

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 3>violence in Mexico since two thousand and six, over the

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 3>last twenty years, one hundred mayors have been killed in Mexico.

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.840
<v Speaker 3>I just imagine that being applied in just a smaller

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 3>number in this country.

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's unthinkable the violence.

0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 3>And now, yes, this has got to affect tourism, This

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 3>has got to affect people's decisions about where they're going

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 3>to vacation. You and I both love Mexico, and I

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 3>actually immediately when I saw this particular area where you've

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 3>had all this violence targeting influencers, mayors, anyone who goes

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 3>against these cartels or if there's an opportunity to yes,

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 3>make a mark or show your strength, it's just beyond frightening.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 3>But it's you know, it's it's a seven hour drive

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 3>from Portaviarta.

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 2>This is which is not immune as we know, absolutely

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 2>not recently.

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Yes, because we had left that area of Mexico, and

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 3>I believe it was a matter of three four days later.

0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 3>You couldn't even drive down the roads that we had

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 3>traveled up and down multiple times the week before. This

0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 3>is scary stuff, This is real stuff, and I feel

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 3>so sick for these young social media folks down there.

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Twenty three was the young ladies age Valentine No, what

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.639
<v Speaker 3>was her name, Valeria Valeria Marquez? Correct, she was twenty

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 3>three and Sezar was twenty five. Are they thinking this through?

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Are they realizing and recognizing that by live streaming, you

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 3>are literally telling everyone exactly where you are, and you're

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.160
<v Speaker 3>giving them an opportunity to have a worldwide audience.

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 1>That is frightening.

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 2>That's something nothing here in the US anybody would ever

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 2>think to have to worry about, right, I think to

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>have to worry about. Well, yeah, folks wanted to give

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 2>you that update, but the hunt is on for these two.

0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 2>We did see her in mentioning Valerie Marquez. They did

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.360
<v Speaker 2>catch that killer very recently last week, so it's very

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.600
<v Speaker 2>possible ropes that and rest could be made. We just

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.160
<v Speaker 2>wanted to hop on and give you the update. Breaking

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.359
<v Speaker 2>story uh still, but as always, we appreciate you spending

0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:07.359
<v Speaker 2>a little time with us.

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:07.840
