It's obvious when it's that cheap..3days and night all food and drinks inlcuded in Cancun for like 800 bucks a person..they're not trying to get their money back their just washing their money..their so rich they could actually let people go free
Was in Cancun 4 years ago. I asked a helper at my resort if it was safe at the resort. He calmly said the town we drove through and the two resorts were all owned by one family. I understood immediately what he meant by that.
Mexican resorts are safe because they are USA/EU/Canada owned. DEA run the cartels. Amlo is forcing foreign companies to play right, pay taxes, don't pollute, and pay their employees fair wages ....if they don't, they're begin kicked out of Mexico.
Yessir u don’t gotta worry about much I was smoking blunts on the beach and the resort staff would look out for me by letting me know when the marina would be passing by 😂
One of the things that don’t really get brought up is how safe Mexico actually is for tourists. If you’re a tourist, ESPECIALLY an American one, you’re pretty much 95% safe if you stay in tourist areas. Sure crime does still happen but one thing that people don’t talk about is the reprucucions that the people committing the crimes face. There’s countless stories of tourists getting robbed at gun point and getting their things taken and the next day receiving their items at their hotel the next morning from the cartel. The cartel cuts thief’s hands off and even kill them sometimes. They really don’t play when it comes to messing with tourists. They even patrol the streets along with the police to make make sure things are going smooth. They even check the police when the police are trying to squeeze tourists for bribes. Now it’s not because they think highly of us, it’s because they want us to keep coming back and spending money, not going to want to keep coming back if you get robbed or have a negative experience with the police.
Right! I went a few places where you were required to only get weed or anything from officially sanctioned dealers and the cops would protect you because everybody got paid. Step outside the lines and you're on your own but if you;re respectful being a gringo makes you safer than the locals.
We went to Cancun for senior trip, and not only did we find a guy selling blow our first day but the pharmacy that was a 2 min walk from our building sold pills. Like one of my friends walked in and jokingly said "hey man where's the good stuff" and he pulled out Vicodin, Klonopin, Valium etc. Not to mention the police riding in F-150s with full riot gear and m16's. God I miss it.
The cartels gun downed a caravan of mormons because they thought out was someone else, the mob makes sure who they are killing (most of the yime) is who they want dead. They were also old school back in the day, which means you treat people with respect until you don't.

I used to live in Cancun...there was always cartel there but they kept things running well and tourists were never affected. After I left, I have been vacationing back in Cancun yearly and see the cartel activity...the graffiti, the extortion of small businesses...the exodus of Burger King, of Pizza Hut, of a huge Perfume/watch store..Almost every store space is empty.The gangs fight over the turf...when it's a good Cartel us tourists hardly notice anything, when it's a young, inexperienced Cartel you see shootings in restaurants, on the beaches etc..

I’ve been to Puerto Vallarta 1 time, once to Cabo, 3 times to Cancun and once to Playa del Carmen. Never had issues or saw any violence including the nights a group of us would go out to the bars, malls... it’s like visiting Chicago. If you visit downtown it’s peaceful and nice but if you visit the south side/outskirts everything changes
I just wanna say this if you are watching this and second guessing traveling to Mexico out of fear... Don't... Especially not if you are going to a resort... You'll be fine... I went to Mexico City by myself and it was amazing... Good food, history, vibes... All that... Just don't be an idiot or go places that seem shady... You know, common sense... And plus, tbh, if you live in a major city in the USA, whether it's LA, Chicago, NYC, St Louis, Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, New Orleans etc... You already live in a place where people are getting shot all the time... You are just used to it and not involved, and probably don't even know when it's happening in your own city... You won't out there either... You'll eat your tacos, sit by the pool, get drunk, and be fine.
Fuck yeah, I went to Tulum last winter and had a blast, the cartel isn't stupid, they know Mexico needs tourism dollars, gringos getting robbed and capped gets attention, shaking down businesses where gringos spend money does not.
@@ShantyIrishman exactly... And even places that arent huge foreign tourist destinations like Mexico City are still fine... Literally millions of people live these place... They aren't being murdered non stop, but that's what people want you to believe... Now if you do goto a resort, come on, youll be fine
I wouldn’t go there because I’m not giving the scum of the world any of my money. They are all an abomination before God. It’s like going into the city, finding a local thug and giving him cash. No thanks. We should’ve taken the Entire land in the war not just half. Would be much better for the people there.
I remember learning this lesson when I lived in San Diego over a decade ago. My then-wife had run into a woman police officer in a nail salon the day before we were set to drive down to one of the resorts maybe an hour south of the border, who was HORRIFIED to hear we were going to Mexico. This was at the beginning of when all the severed heads were being found in dumpsters in the war between the different cartels fighting over smuggling routes into the U.S. The lady cop, however, blew a HUGE sigh of relief when my wife told her we were headed for one of the coastal resorts down there and said "that's okay, then. They're each of them owned and operated (thus, protected) by the different cartels, who don't allow anyone to mess with the American tourists and the dollars they bring. The resorts are safer than The White House," she told her. She DID, however, recommend we drive STRAIGHT to wherever we were staying if we didn't want to risk getting held up along the way--mostly by Mexican police.
Bruh that's like someone here in the us working at a bar that's sick and does that yo a hot as woman some your wife doesn't tell the story for the every day person who visits those places
I actually knew a guy from my work that went down to Tijuana and was kidnapped and eventually killed....about two or three years later one of his close friends confessed that the group that went down to Tijuana with him were the ones that planned on robbing him, but the guy from my work didn't give in and refused to. Eventually his friends felt trapped and didn't see a way out but to kill him.
I have had friends tell me that when they were down there they were looking for cocaine and after purchasing it one of the resort workers they later showed up to his room with some sort of law enforcement and they literally made him clean his account out or be arrested for possession of drugs, it's a pretty good racket if you think about it lol.
@dingle Berry there are hundres of international hotel companies in the area, he's acting like the only money or investment that exist in mexico comes from drugs, and that's some major BS, my friend.
I recall some years ago who some cartels threw some decapitated heads into a crowded disco club dance floor down in Cancun. Turf wars can still ruin your vacation
The military checkpoint Joe sees at Punta Mita is the border crossing for Nayarit and Jalisco. Produce inspection, vehicle search, normal stuff. Now turn the golf cart around and get back to the Four Seasons guero!
We went last month to Acapulco and just like Rogan says, soon as you go out of the hotel in the main street, there are armed soldiers every 200 meters. It was such a crazy experience because it was my first time there and I never seen anything like it.
They pay for two thirds of your vacation too! How does a week in Mazatlan with a round trip flight, food and resort for a week cost 900 bucks? Most round trip flights within the US are like 600 alone
@PKD Orion but your comment is nothing to do what he commented, u started rambling on about some bullshit whereas my comment is related to you being tapped in the head.
Mexican story time for context, both parents mexican, born and raised in the US, went to their hometown for usual holidays anyways, got blasted when I was 16 and lost myself during the "Christmas eve" parade with all of the 3 kings, and ended up on a lone Mexican highway. eventually, I was stopped by a white truck with some men, women, and children on it, about 5-6. They asked if I needed a ride back to "el centro" which was basically the center with the big church and the city gardens. I said yes, and they promptly scooped me up and brought me back. however, on the way back, I noticed that the men sitting in the back had full-on black-matte shotguns and had their feet on a tarp with metallic sounding "curtain rods". they smelled of expensive cologne, they had very good looking teeth compared to the majority of my native family members, and most spoke VERY americanized english (i.e. "fuck, man", "okay", and "you looked disoriented back there, bud") it wasn't until many years later that i realized that the reason why they picked me up was because i looked American as fuck. the cartel in the area don't want their own people, as well as rich tourists, to be scared to spend their money there. in fact, all departments in those cities seemed quite handsomely funded, as noted by the two guards in front of the market with body armor, wielding some mp5 of some varient with an optic. 2016 ford f150s with the city's logo on it, all trash picked off of the streets not even 2 hours after the final event of a festival, and public wifi that's actually a decent 8-9 MB/s, not a lot of phone lines hanging anymore.
It's propably the same reason why the streets where the mob had its influences were so safe back in the day. Criminals didn't dare to hurt anyone, assault anyone, or steal anything, because they knew that everybody there knew somebody, who knew somebody that was in the La Cosa Nostra. And they could find those people
I've only ever stayed at Secets resorts in Mexico, which are actually owned by a Spanish company (if that means anything). I've never felt more safe, and Ive never been offered anything drug wise. When we've gone on excursions they've always kept us super safe, and warned us about going off on our own.
“Spanish” company is probably just shell companies for cartels. I went into town with my family and they asked us where we were staying. The locals told us that on our next trip if we could stay at (forgot the names) resorts because they’re locally owned and the money stays in the city instead of into overseas accounts. Actually, now that I’m typing this out it could be completely backwards and the guy could of been advocating for local owned cartel resorts. It’s honestly hard to say lol.
I vacation in Mexico all the time and have for years. I can confirm the truth of this 100%. The cartels also tax ppl selling/renting shit on the beach.
Been there extensively over the past few years, the war is ongoing and has literally effected every family in Mexico in some way. It’s really sad and very tough to see
Where do you get your info: “has affected every family in Mexico” I’m from Mexico and besides some isolated events in remote parts on some states the vast majority of Mexicans live a normal life, actually thousands of Americans are moving to Mexico causing gentrification look up. Mexico has the largest us population overseas and I don’t see them fleeing.
My ex-wife told me the truth to a story recently. Her sister I was in Mexico and got into a small automobile accident, to sum up the store my ex gave her wedding ring up so do keep her sister out of jail.
Idk why people go to those resorts. There is literally no culture there, it’s just a mini America with all the people that go. Mexico has such nicer places that are actually Mexican.
Funny he mentions Punta Mita, I used to be a waiter at a beach club besides the 4 seasons. This is cartel land. You actually have " puntos" throughout the whole bay where u just walk up to the spot and get your drugs. They post up everywhere and everyone knows, police, military, the goverment. Everyone is in on it.
The cartel got the whole government system on lock and there’s not a damn thing that could change that unless you brought in foreign armed police personnel.. even then I’m sure it would take a long time to break down their intense structured system..
Two times that I've been in Mexico I've been rousted once by cops and the second time by a tourist guide who offered directions to a place I was going and when I started to leave he said that will be 50 American dollars and I told him I was not going to pay and he started hollering for the Mexican police and then I realized I had no other choice I paid him the $50 and went on my way , the next time I was in Cancun walking and got in the wrong part of town by accident and two Mexican cops stopped me for no reason because I was an American and started messing with me I seen what was happening and I asked them how much would it take to let me go they said 40 American dollars , I paid them they said have a good day but you better go to another part of town
A guy was shot last year I believe on the beach at the big resort in Acapulco. The gunman walked into the resort,onto the beach and shot it up killing someone (possibly more) now what was a destination for the rich and famous is empty. I don’t think there’s a safe place from the cartels.
There was Americans just killed in a resort at the beginning of Anarcapoco,the cartel kicked in the resort door and murdered him in front of his girlfriend and friends

Michal Budziakowski in a monarch, when a child is born from two houses he is able to conquer both houses and carry on the name of the family. Mestizos are mixed between Spanish and indigenous. The part that is indigenous has much more claim to these lands than white Europeans whose people have absolutely no claim to these lands. Except that they are here by force. But white Europeans, just like Spanish Europeans, will ultimately be phased out due to recessive genes and environmental epigenetics.
@Lucas Cruz Lucas Cruz America does have a culture... It's called beating the shit out of anyone who has ever tried us here!!! That's a fact... Don't be salty and tell me I have no culture... It's the best culture in the world that's why people invade what we built here everyday. Smoke some more dope.
I grew up in Mexico right around Punta Mita and the military is always around, fully loaded but I never heard or witnessed any kind of shoot out or confrontation with the military. They are just sort of around.
I know a guy who moved down to Merida, Mexico like 10 years ago as an American because apparently that's a popular place for Americans to expatriate too. Cheap everything, including property, etc. Also it was supposedly where the Cartel kept their own families in a lot of cases and thus it was insulated a lot from the violence. I have no idea what it's like today.
@@Chale1288 Funny you mention that cause the guy I was talking about just got murdered there. No, it's not "officially" a murder but then again this is corrupt as fuck Mexico we're talking about. The dude lived in a factory that was converted to beyond a mansion, a compound, and next thing you know he gets cancer, devises plan to leave the country to go get treatment in the states if not move back altogether, and then next thing you know he's dead and his body is cremated the same day. All from a guy who wished to have his body buried, considering he obviously came from money and had the means to have a burial that would cost more than someone whose body was unceremoniously tossed with no autopsy. All from the grand old state of Merida in none other than Mexico. Merida is safe for people who are from drug lords families. Gringos on the other hand? Beware. Believe it or not the man was most likely murdered and then the evidence was destroyed before an autopsy could be performed. SuPeR sAfE!
@@Chale1288 What do you want the dude's name? Dan Karnes. His family is in touch with a Mexican attorney as we speak to get to the bottom of what really happened to him. The belief is he was murdered by someone out there. I've been to Merida several times. I am not just "making stuff" (BTW it's "making stuff up" in case you don't like representing yourself like an illiterate fuck everywhere you go on top of being ignorant). He converted a factory into a compound in Merida and I've been there a few times. They got rid of the body before an autopsy could be conducted in spite of his death wishes which don't amount to shit in a country like Mexico. He wanted to come back to get treatment for this "cancer" he had but mysteriously died before he had a chance to. Any other questions or you wanna blindly believe this lie you're telling yourself that Merida is completely and totally safe for gringos still? Google it. Dan Karnes. Stupid fuck "you're just making stuff" yeah man it's all one grand conspiracy that I am responsible for, got a body under my name and everything to convince you and the one other person that liked my comment to begin with that I am right. Merida is still in Mexico. Mexico isn't a safe country. I hope you realize that unless you're either from there originally or are too broke to live anywhere else. Either way, I pity you but mainly because you're an idiot.

I’ve been to Puerto Vallarta 1 time, once to Cabo, 3 times to Cancun and once to Playa del Carmen. Never had issues or saw any violence including the nights a group of us would go out to the bars, malls... it’s like visiting Chicago. If you visit downtown it’s peaceful and nice but if you visit the south side/outskirts everything changes
Kinda like Chicago.
As someone that lives in South Chicago.. I agree. It’s kinda like Chicago.
I live in Chicago and have been to Mexico like 30 times so I agree just know where not to go and u will be a ok 👍
Take a couple wrong turns in Chicago and the writing is LITERALLY on the walls 😂
@Nexgenmex
The only difference is there're no "writing" in cartels' territory. You take a wrong turn you're screwed.
I just wanna say this if you are watching this and second guessing traveling to Mexico out of fear... Don't... Especially not if you are going to a resort... You'll be fine... I went to Mexico City by myself and it was amazing... Good food, history, vibes... All that... Just don't be an idiot or go places that seem shady... You know, common sense... And plus, tbh, if you live in a major city in the USA, whether it's LA, Chicago, NYC, St Louis, Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, New Orleans etc... You already live in a place where people are getting shot all the time... You are just used to it and not involved, and probably don't even know when it's happening in your own city... You won't out there either... You'll eat your tacos, sit by the pool, get drunk, and be fine.
Fuck yeah, I went to Tulum last winter and had a blast, the cartel isn't stupid, they know Mexico needs tourism dollars, gringos getting robbed and capped gets attention, shaking down businesses where gringos spend money does not.
@@ShantyIrishman exactly... And even places that arent huge foreign tourist destinations like Mexico City are still fine... Literally millions of people live these place... They aren't being murdered non stop, but that's what people want you to believe... Now if you do goto a resort, come on, youll be fine

I wouldn’t go there because I’m not giving the scum of the world any of my money. They are all an abomination before God. It’s like going into the city, finding a local thug and giving him cash. No thanks. We should’ve taken the Entire land in the war not just half. Would be much better for the people there.
I did a Mexico trip once and the cartels didn’t get me, but I had the worst hangover of my life
Lmao just as bad bud
I remember learning this lesson when I lived in San Diego over a decade ago. My then-wife had run into a woman police officer in a nail salon the day before we were set to drive down to one of the resorts maybe an hour south of the border, who was HORRIFIED to hear we were going to Mexico. This was at the beginning of when all the severed heads were being found in dumpsters in the war between the different cartels fighting over smuggling routes into the U.S. The lady cop, however, blew a HUGE sigh of relief when my wife told her we were headed for one of the coastal resorts down there and said "that's okay, then. They're each of them owned and operated (thus, protected) by the different cartels, who don't allow anyone to mess with the American tourists and the dollars they bring. The resorts are safer than The White House," she told her. She DID, however, recommend we drive STRAIGHT to wherever we were staying if we didn't want to risk getting held up along the way--mostly by Mexican police.
🤣 it’s so funny what you gringos believe 🙄 😂 😂 😂 ..... The cartel can destroy you WHEREVER THEY WANT

Watched this entire interview on the way back from Mexico!!
Whats the deal with your profile pic. I saw that before.
I actually knew a guy from my work that went down to Tijuana and was kidnapped and eventually killed....about two or three years later one of his close friends confessed that the group that went down to Tijuana with him were the ones that planned on robbing him, but the guy from my work didn't give in and refused to. Eventually his friends felt trapped and didn't see a way out but to kill him.
Thats so fucked. Thats how i am, youll have to kill me to get my money. Fuck you
I have had friends tell me that when they were down there they were looking for cocaine and after purchasing it one of the resort workers they later showed up to his room with some sort of law enforcement and they literally made him clean his account out or be arrested for possession of drugs, it's a pretty good racket if you think about it lol.
wym clean his account ? like bank account? they wanted money?
Was at a Mexican resort recently. Was absolutely huge and 5* everything. Definitely cartel money lmao the land was HUGE
lmao u pretty dumb
@dingle Berry there are hundres of international hotel companies in the area, he's acting like the only money or investment that exist in mexico comes from drugs, and that's some major BS, my friend.
I recall some years ago who some cartels threw some decapitated heads into a crowded disco club dance floor down in Cancun. Turf wars can still ruin your vacation
Ghost Recon Wildlands had whole missions dedicated to this.
Skinnymoneyman what mission
For real
Stfu
100 percent correct. in Cancun, a guy told me, if i sell u this 8th of bud for less than 60, they will chop my finger off.
Lol that guy was just fucking with you
The military checkpoint Joe sees at Punta Mita is the border crossing for Nayarit and Jalisco. Produce inspection, vehicle search, normal stuff. Now turn the golf cart around and get back to the Four Seasons guero!
We went last month to Acapulco and just like Rogan says, soon as you go out of the hotel in the main street, there are armed soldiers every 200 meters. It was such a crazy experience because it was my first time there and I never seen anything like it.
Alan Avramovic nije sve jedno brate
They pay for two thirds of your vacation too! How does a week in Mazatlan with a round trip flight, food and resort for a week cost 900 bucks? Most round trip flights within the US are like 600 alone
They are safe until some narco feels attracted to your girlfriend or wife and you can't do absolutely nothing about it.
He would get check by other Narcos
@PKD Orion did anyone ask about that tho
@PKD Orion but your comment is nothing to do what he commented, u started rambling on about some bullshit whereas my comment is related to you being tapped in the head.
PKD Orion wow, spoken well

Problem is they could be targetted by rival cartels, so not that safe
Watching while chilling at a resort in cabo. Sweeeeeeeet...
the episodes with ed were some of the best ever on jre. get him back on again soon pls
It’s so cool to see Joe Rogan finally making up with Carlos Mencia
Mexican story time
for context, both parents mexican, born and raised in the US, went to their hometown for usual holidays
anyways, got blasted when I was 16 and lost myself during the "Christmas eve" parade with all of the 3 kings, and ended up on a lone Mexican highway. eventually, I was stopped by a white truck with some men, women, and children on it, about 5-6. They asked if I needed a ride back to "el centro" which was basically the center with the big church and the city gardens. I said yes, and they promptly scooped me up and brought me back.
however, on the way back, I noticed that the men sitting in the back had full-on black-matte shotguns and had their feet on a tarp with metallic sounding "curtain rods". they smelled of expensive cologne, they had very good looking teeth compared to the majority of my native family members, and most spoke VERY americanized english (i.e. "fuck, man", "okay", and "you looked disoriented back there, bud")
it wasn't until many years later that i realized that the reason why they picked me up was because i looked American as fuck. the cartel in the area don't want their own people, as well as rich tourists, to be scared to spend their money there.
in fact, all departments in those cities seemed quite handsomely funded, as noted by the two guards in front of the market with body armor, wielding some mp5 of some varient with an optic. 2016 ford f150s with the city's logo on it, all trash picked off of the streets not even 2 hours after the final event of a festival, and public wifi that's actually a decent 8-9 MB/s, not a lot of phone lines hanging anymore.
Lie!!!! Lol smh
It's propably the same reason why the streets where the mob had its influences were so safe back in the day.
Criminals didn't dare to hurt anyone, assault anyone, or steal anything, because they knew that everybody there knew somebody, who knew somebody that was in the La Cosa Nostra. And they could find those people
This is one of the most fascinating interviews Joe Rogan has done, there are just so many misconceptions about the drug war and the cartels.
This guy is a fraud full of lies.
@@regil93 for real. I've heard no actual evidence for any of the claims he makes. Sounds like a classic bullshitter.
I've only ever stayed at Secets resorts in Mexico, which are actually owned by a Spanish company (if that means anything). I've never felt more safe, and Ive never been offered anything drug wise. When we've gone on excursions they've always kept us super safe, and warned us about going off on our own.
“Spanish” company is probably just shell companies for cartels. I went into town with my family and they asked us where we were staying. The locals told us that on our next trip if we could stay at (forgot the names) resorts because they’re locally owned and the money stays in the city instead of into overseas accounts. Actually, now that I’m typing this out it could be completely backwards and the guy could of been advocating for local owned cartel resorts. It’s honestly hard to say lol.
even if its foreign companies the cartels still are part owners or business partners of those companies since they launder money for them
We need a Ed Calderon update right now regarding COVID and the Cartels
Dry snitches the cartels, nervously drinks water 2:12
My mum has a great story where she was hitchhiking in Central America and managed to get a ride in the local cartel leader in his Land Rover
I vacation in Mexico all the time and have for years. I can confirm the truth of this 100%. The cartels also tax ppl selling/renting shit on the beach.
Thanks for giving them more money.
Drug war has been lost
War is something winnable. This “drug war” isn’t
It was never fought. Only managed
The drug war was a success. The goal was to be in charge of it, not shut it down.
Boycott Mexican Beer
Been there extensively over the past few years, the war is ongoing and has literally effected every family in Mexico in some way. It’s really sad and very tough to see
Where do you get your info: “has affected every family in Mexico” I’m from Mexico and besides some isolated events in remote parts on some states the vast majority of Mexicans live a normal life, actually thousands of Americans are moving to Mexico causing gentrification look up. Mexico has the largest us population overseas and I don’t see them fleeing.
Joe “WOW” Rogan
It feels good watching these things finally brought to light
Until a rival cartel shoots up the resort to ruin there business.
Please have Mr. Calderon back soon. The world needs updates.😎
My ex-wife told me the truth to a story recently. Her sister I was in Mexico and got into a small automobile accident, to sum up the store my ex gave her wedding ring up so do keep her sister out of jail.
What?
Ed Calderon is amazing. Been following him for years. It's great he finally got onto Rogan's podcast. I am a martial arts knife guy...
Just started avidly watching joe and I loved this episode
Yeah you will learn that he is your spirit animal i f you ever do dmt.
you will sign up for yoga and start eating elk meat in less than a week
Idk why people go to those resorts. There is literally no culture there, it’s just a mini America with all the people that go. Mexico has such nicer places that are actually Mexican.
Funny he mentions Punta Mita, I used to be a waiter at a beach club besides the 4 seasons. This is cartel land. You actually have " puntos" throughout the whole bay where u just walk up to the spot and get your drugs. They post up everywhere and everyone knows, police, military, the goverment. Everyone is in on it.
Time to have this guy on again
2:11 when he realized he talked too much !!!!
The cartel got the whole government system on lock and there’s not a damn thing that could change that unless you brought in foreign armed police personnel.. even then I’m sure it would take a long time to break down their intense structured system..
Police ain't gonna give them even a bit hard time fool. They are a well organized military force protecting cartels.
Two times that I've been in Mexico I've been rousted once by cops and the second time by a tourist guide who offered directions to a place I was going and when I started to leave he said that will be 50 American dollars and I told him I was not going to pay and he started hollering for the Mexican police and then I realized I had no other choice I paid him the $50 and went on my way , the next time I was in Cancun walking and got in the wrong part of town by accident and two Mexican cops stopped me for no reason because I was an American and started messing with me I seen what was happening and I asked them how much would it take to let me go they said 40 American dollars , I paid them they said have a good day but you better go to another part of town
Maybe you are so ugly that even cartel doesnt want you back to spend money
That guy is probably dead tbh cause cartels love tourist and there money basically if you stay at a resort you will probably be 95% more safe
@@AwashRook I was at a resort

I thought Joe Rogan invited Carlos Mencia, when I saw the pic.
That would be the ultimate guest
Nah, he doesn’t like Ned.
......clicked on the thumbnail thinking it was Carlos mencia.
Makes sense. 1) resorts would be a great money laundering operation. 2) colombian drug money built half the buildings in Miami.
i walked in playa del carmen for hours years ago, i wouldn't do that today
A guy was shot last year I believe on the beach at the big resort in Acapulco. The gunman walked into the resort,onto the beach and shot it up killing someone (possibly more) now what was a destination for the rich and famous is empty. I don’t think there’s a safe place from the cartels.
When I was at Mexico resort I be thinking it’s perfect and feel so safe until this 😂
Las Vegas was the same couple decades ago and still might be.
There was Americans just killed in a resort at the beginning of Anarcapoco,the cartel kicked in the resort door and murdered him in front of his girlfriend and friends
Why? What did he do?

Yes Joe "It permeates the culture" That's why we don't need it here.
Lucas Cruz I thought Mexicans are a mix of Spanish colonizers and the indigenous peoples.
Michal Budziakowski in a monarch, when a child is born from two houses he is able to conquer both houses and carry on the name of the family. Mestizos are mixed between Spanish and indigenous. The part that is indigenous has much more claim to these lands than white Europeans whose people have absolutely no claim to these lands. Except that they are here by force. But white Europeans, just like Spanish Europeans, will ultimately be phased out due to recessive genes and environmental epigenetics.
@Lucas Cruz Lucas Cruz America does have a culture... It's called beating the shit out of anyone who has ever tried us here!!! That's a fact... Don't be salty and tell me I have no culture... It's the best culture in the world that's why people invade what we built here everyday. Smoke some more dope.
Joe "isn't that the guy..." Rogan
I grew up in Mexico right around Punta Mita and the military is always around, fully loaded but I never heard or witnessed any kind of shoot out or confrontation with the military. They are just sort of around.
"The drug war is over" "Why?" "Because I said so". Typical logic.

Joe "the cartel got her" Rogan
I know a guy who moved down to Merida, Mexico like 10 years ago as an American because apparently that's a popular place for Americans to expatriate too. Cheap everything, including property, etc. Also it was supposedly where the Cartel kept their own families in a lot of cases and thus it was insulated a lot from the violence. I have no idea what it's like today.
There is no crime in Merida
@@Chale1288 Funny you mention that cause the guy I was talking about just got murdered there.
No, it's not "officially" a murder but then again this is corrupt as fuck Mexico we're talking about.
The dude lived in a factory that was converted to beyond a mansion, a compound, and next thing you know he gets cancer, devises plan to leave the country to go get treatment in the states if not move back altogether, and then next thing you know he's dead and his body is cremated the same day. All from a guy who wished to have his body buried, considering he obviously came from money and had the means to have a burial that would cost more than someone whose body was unceremoniously tossed with no autopsy.
All from the grand old state of Merida in none other than Mexico.
Merida is safe for people who are from drug lords families. Gringos on the other hand? Beware. Believe it or not the man was most likely murdered and then the evidence was destroyed before an autopsy could be performed.
SuPeR sAfE!
@@voteZDLR My dude, I live in Merida and now I am 100% you are just making stuff.
@@Chale1288 What do you want the dude's name?
Dan Karnes. His family is in touch with a Mexican attorney as we speak to get to the bottom of what really happened to him.
The belief is he was murdered by someone out there. I've been to Merida several times. I am not just "making stuff" (BTW it's "making stuff up" in case you don't like representing yourself like an illiterate fuck everywhere you go on top of being ignorant).
He converted a factory into a compound in Merida and I've been there a few times. They got rid of the body before an autopsy could be conducted in spite of his death wishes which don't amount to shit in a country like Mexico. He wanted to come back to get treatment for this "cancer" he had but mysteriously died before he had a chance to.
Any other questions or you wanna blindly believe this lie you're telling yourself that Merida is completely and totally safe for gringos still?
Google it. Dan Karnes.
Stupid fuck "you're just making stuff" yeah man it's all one grand conspiracy that I am responsible for, got a body under my name and everything to convince you and the one other person that liked my comment to begin with that I am right. Merida is still in Mexico. Mexico isn't a safe country. I hope you realize that unless you're either from there originally or are too broke to live anywhere else.
