Early Sunday morning, around one thirty am, a 49 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: twenty one year old man from North Carolina approached the 50 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 2: secure perimeter of Marlago and Palm Beach, Florida. According to 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: law enforcement, he was armed with a shotgun and also 52 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: had a gasoline canister with him. Secret Service agents in 53 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy confronted him near the 54 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: Northgate area of the property. That is where officers ordered 55 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: him to drop the weapon. Authorities say he put down 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: the gasoline can but then raise a shotgun in what 57 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 2: they described as a firing position. At that point, secret 58 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: Service agents and the responding deputy opened fire. The suspect 59 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: was killed at the scene. Now, importantly, President Trump was 60 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: not at Marlago at the time. He and the first 61 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 2: Lady were in Washington, d C. No law enforcement officers 62 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: were injured in Marlago as well. Now the FBI is 63 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: now leading that investigation. They're reviewing the bodycam footage, the 64 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: surveillance video, an evidence from the scene. As of now, 65 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: officials have not announced a confirmed motive and there's no 66 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: indication of a broader threat at this time. Now, this 67 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: appears to have been a rapid security response to an 68 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: armed individual breaching a protected perimeter. Another assassination attempt on 69 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: President Donald Trump. Now here's more of what Fox News 70 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: had to say about this incident. 71 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 3: And killed an armed man who unlawfully entered the perimeter 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: at mar A Lago early this morning one point thirty 73 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: this morning. The Associated Press is out with some new 74 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: details right now. They have named and we have confirmed 75 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: the name of the suspect, twenty one year old Austin 76 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 3: Tucker Martin. According to the Associated Press and this bulletin 77 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: that just crossed, he was reported missing by his family 78 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 3: a few days ago. Investigators believe he headed south and 79 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: picked up a shotgun along the way, and they think 80 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 3: that because they found a box for the shotgun in 81 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 3: his car. The FBI is right now asking people that 82 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 3: live near mar A Lago to check their doorbell cameras, 83 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 3: check any cameras that they have in their yards so 84 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 3: they can figure out exactly how this guy got got 85 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 3: into the area, but it is now believed, according to 86 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: the AP, that he might have piggybacked behind a vehicle 87 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: entering mar A Lago lawfully when the gate opened. 88 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 2: There's no doubt that more information will be coming on 89 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: this story, and we will hear directly, I'm sure from 90 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: the White House, and when that happens, we will bring 91 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: it for you right here now. 92 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: Story number two. 93 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: Mexico has erupted into flames after the death of the 94 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: largest terrorist cartel boss known as Elmentcho. Cartel gunment have 95 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: begun carrying out terrorist attacks in various different states in Mexico, 96 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: all in response the death of the country's most powerful 97 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: terrorist cartel leader. Mexico's government confirmed the death of the 98 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: cartel boss, which resulted from an enforcement operations how they 99 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: described it. Now, why did this happen in the first place. 100 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: It's very clear that the President's threat of going after 101 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: the narco terrorist cartel leaders was enough for Mexico to 102 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: decide they should do it on their own instead of 103 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: having the US involved directly. This after the President clearly 104 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: showed he wasn't flinching, after he declared many of these 105 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: individuals as terraces, including one that we went and got 106 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: in Venezuela, who's now an American custody, the man who 107 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: claimed he was in charge of that country after stealing 108 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 2: the last election. Now this chaos began on Sunday early 109 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: morning when Cartel Gunman began setting up blockades in four 110 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: key states. They're controlled by Elmanto's terrast organization. The cartel 111 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: known as the CJNG. It's one of several cartels that 112 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 2: have been designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the 113 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: US government. Now, the gunmen around the country, they deployed roadblocks. 114 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: Clearly they knew how to do this and plant it 115 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: in advance for if this day ever happened. They carjacked 116 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: vehicles and shot innocent individuals. They set fire to buildings, 117 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: grocery stores, and gas stations, and they brought several different 118 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 2: cities to a standstill, some of them on the border 119 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: and others more in the interior. Even airports being attacked 120 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: and people fleeing on the tarmac and running out of 121 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: those airports in Guadalajara. Now, all of this reaction follows 122 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: the high profile military operation that was carried out where 123 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: military forces reportedly killed Elmento during a clash with his gunmen. 124 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: Several top news organizations in Mexico began reporting the death 125 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: of Elmento on Sunday morning. Now, there's also other information 126 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: that points to an attempt to capture one of his 127 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: top lieutenants, as well as additional operations aimed at decapitating 128 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: the CJNG. As violence erupted across the region, the US 129 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: Embassy and Consulates in Mexico issued a strong security warning saying, quote, 130 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: do the ongoing security operations and related road blockages and 131 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: criminal activity. US citizens in the named locations should shelter 132 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: in place until further notice. Now, the death of Almento, 133 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: as it's being reported right now, and the capture of 134 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: top CJNG figures would strengthen the credibility of Mexico's efforts 135 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: as they claim to fight drug cartels. That has been 136 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: a mandate by President Donald Trump and his administration. Now. 137 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: In the past, Mexico had acted against other organizations like 138 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: the Cinelola Cartel, the Gulf Cartel, and other smaller cartels, 139 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: but the CJNNG remained largely untouched. Clearly, they were paying 140 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 2: off the top people in Mexico's government and certainly local 141 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: law enforcement agencies, which brings us to the other part 142 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: of this story. In what's being reported right now, we 143 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: are now being told that America was actually involved in 144 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: helping train many of the elite fighters who actually went 145 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: aft sure the top cartel members. The Mexican Army team 146 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 2: that tried to apprehend but ultimately killed, the fearsome leader 147 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: of the terrorist organization received what now is being described 148 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: as specialized training from US Navy Seals. Shortly before the operation, 149 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: Breitbart Texas was able to confirm from high level members 150 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: of the US intelligence community that Navy Seal instructors traveled 151 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: to Mexico earlier this month for a series of trainings 152 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 2: aimed at targeting and apprehending top level cartel figures. Earlier 153 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: this month, amid much controversy, Mexico's Senate voted to allow 154 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: US Special Forces operators to travel into the country to 155 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: train their Mexican counterparts. The cartels obviously were very angry 156 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 2: about that. Instructors from the US Navy, Seals and other 157 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: top tier groups were scheduled to be in Mexic from 158 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: mid February to April. They first arrived, were being told 159 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: on February fifteenth on a US air transport with their 160 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 2: own equipment and weapons for the training seminars. The sources 161 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: consulted by Breitbar Texas revealed that as soon as the 162 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 2: top level Mexican Army team was turned over to the 163 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 2: US Navy Seal instructors, they sequestered their phones and all 164 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: communication devices to prevent any leaks of information, something that 165 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,239 Speaker 2: has been an ongoing issue and prior attempts to capture 166 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: Almento and other cartel figures in recent years. Now, while 167 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: details of the training and the operation remained classified were 168 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: being told again, it was confirmed that Mexican military forces, 169 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: working off US and Mexican intelligence, tracked down the cartel leader, 170 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 2: where they carried out the high level operation aimed at capturing, 171 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 2: not killing, but capturing that cartel leader. During the operation, 172 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: security forces of the CJNG tried to fight off the 173 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: military forces, leading to a fierce firefight when Mexico's military 174 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: forces killed four gunmen and injured three others who were 175 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: airlifted to a hospital for emergency care but died en route. 176 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 2: According to information provided Mexico's military one of the individuals 177 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: who died during the air transport was a man more 178 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 2: commonly known as the biggest cartel leader in Mexico. Again, 179 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: this is coming from the government. The death of the 180 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: feared cartel boss unleashed a wave of terror in Mexico 181 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: and new threats that also coming from local reports. You 182 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: also now know that Mexican states carjacking vehicles skyrocketed, the 183 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 2: roadblocks were set, torching of buildings, and widespread terror by 184 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: the criminal organization reached such levels that now the UN 185 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: Department of State is warning Americans to not travel and 186 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 2: being clear about the threats of danger that could be 187 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: faced by any American that goes to Mexico. Now here's 188 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 2: the part that's the most important. Maybe you or someone 189 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 2: you know is in Mexico right now, what should you do? 190 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: You should go to the State Department's website and look 191 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: at the warnings for where you are and also what 192 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: to do to be safe and to get out of 193 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: the country. Now, this may not be the last operation. Obviously, 194 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: the cartels are fighting back and hoping that that will 195 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 2: make the government of Mexico stop from doing anything else. 196 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 2: But there are many now that believe that there is 197 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: more that could be happening, and if nothing happens moving forward. 198 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: Then there's a real threat from President Trump that if 199 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: you won't take out these narco terraces, America will. So 200 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: you can either do it yourself or will do it 201 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: for you.
