one of the things i'm proudest of about this show is that we are able to move very freely from serious subjects to sort of silly subjects from very personal ones to political ones. things i want you, if at all possible, to enjoy the way i enjoy them, see things the way i saw them. so, we were supposed to be dining at another restaurant this evening, and when they heard that you would be joining me, we were uninvited. should i be concerned about having dinner with you? >> this is a country of

corruption. and if you have business, you are in a very unsafe situation. everybody can press you and destroy your business. this is a system. >> government, bad things seem to happen to them. >> yes. unfortunately, i represent what i say russia, old 19th century, not of 21st. >> sitting here, the booth, the curtains, the whole ring bell for service thing, it seems lost in time. >> we got a long ugly history. that's one of the things i love, you can't deny the burden of your past. it's right there. america chooses to deny its problems. in many ways. declares itself a postracial society, that doesn't fly in mississippi. you can't claim that. >> i'm not here on this planet to do the same thing every week, given the opportunity, i had 30

years of doing the same thing, every day, eggs benedict, eggs benedict, given the opportunity to tell different stories in different ways and in different styles, i'm going to do that. and the freedom to do that is fantastic privilege that i'm really grateful for. very aware of and very grateful for. but what that means is, maybe really liked last week's episode, and this week you will be deeply offended by my half formed point of view the week after that you might agree with me completely. this bus makes many stops, you don't have to enjoy all of them. under former president calderon, mexico launched a concerted war on drugs. extensively against the notorious and seemingly untouchable cartels. absolutely no one can say with any credibility by the way that

mexico's war, or our trillion dollar war has had any effect in diminishing the flow of drugs into our country. one very brave journalist has uncovered exactly how deep the wrougt of corruption and dirty money has penetrated into every level of mexican institutions. >> do you think there was ever a minute when the calderon war on drugs, was it ever genuine? >> oh no, the war against the cartels was for the folks. calderon just followed that instruction, but he didn't really do anything new, he just did it worse. since the beginning, the plan of the government was protect the cartel, and fight against the enemies of this cartel. >> of the seven major mexican

cartels, the sina loa cartel is considered the most powerful with the most far reaching tentacles presenting deep into every corner of government, banking, and private industry. its rivals, the tijuana cartel, the juarez cartel, and the murderous ones. you've uncovered very embarrassing and incriminating associations and connections between very high elected officials. the presidents and entire administrations, and acts of incredible criminality. how did that change your life? >> well, when i started to make this investigation in 2005, and i really understand that it

would be very dangerous. i have to say that it wasn't really a surprise for me what happened after i published my book. what i didn't expect is that the threats came from the federal government. >> ann bell says that one of her sources warned her that the biggest threat was from within. the most senior law enforcement officials in mexico had ordered her killed. >> because in my book, i put his name, and also showed some documents that proves that he was involved, he was in the payroll of this cartel. >> to me the weak link are the bankers. a banker launders money, he has a family, a reputation, he gives noun charity, his neighbor's think he's great, his kids think he's wonderful, but he has something to lose. i wouldn't be prosecuting drug

dealers, i'd be prosecuting bankers. >> they are not only a book and the leaders of the cartels, no, they are also thieves. the politicians and bankers and the businessmen. the people have to know who are these people name by name. >> you've been a journalist for how long? >> 20 years. >> 20 years. your father was killed, kidnapped in killed in 2000? >> my father was a businessman. in that year, they used to kidnap the businessman just for money. so when we went to the police and asked them to investigate, they said well if you pay us, we will make the investigation. so the us family would decide to

pay. i really tried to fight against corruption. that's why i'm doing what i do because i think that corruption is the worst problem in mexico. the drug cartels are maybe the worst face of the problem, but the problem in the deep is the corruption. the corruption is the mother of all our problems in mexico. >> if you pointed out, 88 journalists, how many have been killed? >> 90 now. >> 90 journalists now have been killed or disappeared over the last few years. >> yeah. >> you could kill a journalist and get away with it? why are you still here? >> i have lost many things in my life, my father was the most important person in my life. i already lost everything, i don't have a life anymore. i don't have a social life.

i don't have a sentimental life, i don't have anything. i just have my work and my family. and my work of journalist is everything for me. i really believe that good journalists can change the world. i have received many offers to go outside to france, sweden, and other countries. i don't to want leave, my choice is fight. now up to 10gb of 4g lte data. plus get the best trade-in value on you current phone guaranteed. you want i fix this mess? a mess? i don't think -- what's that? snapshot from progressive. plug it in, and you can save on car insurance based on your good driving. you sell to me? no, it's free. you want to try?
