A Traitor In Our Midst: Right-wing Mexican Senator Calls for US Intervention on Fox News
Episode 73
In this episode of Soberanía, hosts Kurt Hackbarth and José Luis Granados Ceja break down Senator Lilly Téllez’s call for U.S. intervention in Mexico during a Fox News appearance - an act which many in Mexico equate with treason. They also fact-check the DEA’s recent false claims (or more bluntly, "pulling it out of their a**) about a supposed joint project with Mexico, exposing how narratives get manufactured in a way that resembles a certain Dr Strangelove. Kurt and José Luis also discuss Ken Klippenstein’s three-part series on U.S. invasion plans targeting Mexico, and how much credence to give to a clear trail of leaking that began with last week's Rolling Stone piece. Then, in their regular Losers and Haters segment, our hosts take apart the Baker Institute’s deeply flawed report on Mexico, with breathless wonder at its ability to be disproven so thoroughly and quickly. And finally: a preview of coming attractions on "Soberanía," with a trailer introducing a brand-new segment!
