Your sister? Are you going in the Mexican election this weekend
00:03
Brother one. I mean,
00:06
I don't live in Mexico so it's like I don't really want
00:09
to have a say on what happens to,
00:11
you know, my family in Mexico,
00:14
you know, people living there,
00:15
I don't know if I can because I'm not a citizen there
00:18
quite yet. I do want to get my dual citizenship though
00:21
Well, I have a surprise for you.
00:22
I have a feeling that a woman is going to win but
00:28
there's only two women.
00:33
I was reporting the story here.
00:35
OK. Both women are candidates,
00:37
brother. So we got Claudia,
00:40
she and Baum who has the support of current President Amlo and
00:44
then there's Sochi Galvez who has the support of the other three
00:48
parties. So they got together to defeat she and bomb but
00:53
she's probably going to win.
00:58
she's gonna be in office.
01:03
it's a good different one in Mexico,
01:04
right? But it's been a really bad year for people who
01:07
are running for office in general.
01:08
Dude, these numbers are crazy.
01:10
So far 32 candidates have been killed.
01:21
Well, these people have been assassinated and a total of 63
01:26
people linked to the elections have been killed as well.
01:31
So there is definitely some corruption going on.
01:35
Like any other election in Mexico.
01:37
That means there's a lot of corruption.
01:39
The country is basically at war with organized crimes and elections are
01:42
obviously part of the process.
01:44
And some of these experts are saying that organized crime was always
01:46
involved in the elections like you said,
01:48
but back when there was just one party,
01:50
the pri cartels would fall in line with the chosen candidate.
01:54
But now that there are multiple parties and multiple candidates,
01:57
cartels are competing for control but not just the territories but the
02:01
governments as well. That's wild dude.
02:04
I know. Hopefully they both make it to election day because
02:06
she's getting crazy dude.
02:07
Like I'm just saying the cartels are fucking,
02:14
And I hope you know,
02:16
it's a good outcome.
02:17
We'll keep you guys posted and updated.
