🚨 Mexican cartels aren't just trafficking drugs — they're taking over America's food supply. Former law enforcement agent Ammon Blair sits down with Matt Gaetz on OAN to expose how cartels have been diversifying into agriculture LONG before anyone was paying attention.
After NAFTA, cartel investment in legal commodities exploded — including the avocado market, which has surged over 8,000% since NAFTA passed. Blair reveals why cartels are abandoning risky drug routes in favor of licit agricultural trade: because everyone needs food.
From avocados to cattle, the cartels have found a business model that's nearly impossible to shut down — and it's hiding in plain sight.
🔍 What you'll learn:
- Why cartels pivoted to agriculture after NAFTA
- How they use legal commodities to build untouchable revenue streams
- Why food is more valuable to cartels than fentanyl long-term
- The shocking truth about cartel influence in U.S. cattle markets
