00:00I'm going to show you how to do it, but first I'm going to show you how to do it.
00:30This is where Chapo Guzman comes to prominence.
01:00They had an opportunity to make a lot of money.
01:30That challenge has to be fought with all the strength of the State.
01:37And for that reason, we have to fight the criminals,
01:40because here, the only owner of the city, or the only owner of the town,
01:44or the only owner of this State, is the Mexican State.
02:30What I have been able to show and document over five years of research
02:35is that both the government of Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon
02:40have not had a war against drug trafficking.
02:44They have had a war against the enemies of El Chapo
02:47to make the Sinaloa Cartel practically a hegemonic cartel in Mexico,
02:53practically a monopoly of drugs, one more monopoly in Mexico.
02:58Believing, absurdly, that having a single cartel, a single interlocutor,
03:06they will be able to control much better the arms and drug trafficking.
03:29This is Joaquin Guzman. Why? Because he is the one who helps the people.
03:34The government must take care of it.
03:36The march is the reason for not bringing the man to the United States,
03:41because we don't want him to go further.
03:45We are supporting him because he is a very good man,
03:48for us he is a very good person.
03:58We are supporting him because he is a very good person.
