free of charge bet mgm operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming ontario president claudia scheinbaum of mexico strikes back again at donald trump in her latest press conference she took out a map of me from 1607. And she said, look, Donald, if you're going to start threatening to conquer this nation or that nation, how about what we really do is rename the United States Mexican America, and let's redraw those borders from 1607 if we're going to start talking about territorial expansion i love this this is how you have to kind of just mock donald trump back and show strength i want you to watch this and we translated her voice with ai here here play this clip obviously gulf of mexico is name recognized by the United Nations.

It's an organization of the United Nations, but the next question is, why don't we call it Mexican America? It sounds nice, doesn't it? Right. Since 1607, the Apatzingan Constitution

referred to it as Mexican America. So, let's call it Mexican America. It sounds nice, doesn't it? And Gulf of Mexico, well, you see, since 1607, and it's also recognized internationally. Well, historically speaking, because as you might know, I know they're going to ask me. I think that yesterday, President Trump,

they misinformed President Trump with all due respect because I believe they told him that Felipe Calderon and Garcia Luna were still in power in Mexico. Yeah, as Ian Bremmer says, file that under, two can play at that game. Donald, you heard her right there getting out that old map to show Mexico's territorial claims on the United States.

And I've been covering Claudia Scheinbaum's responses to Donald Trump when Donald Trump first threatened Mexico and Canada with 25% tariffs. President Claudia Scheinbaum said, if you do that to us, Donald, we're going to make it hurt for you. We're going to make you feel pain. And by the way, Donald, perhaps you shouldn't be spending all of this money on military and weapons of war and your designs of conquest and perhaps deal with a comprehensive immigration solution versus just blaming everybody else. And by the way, don't blame Mexico for synthetic drugs. We here in Mexico don't have a synthetic drug problem. It's actually from the United States where that problem originates. And that 95 to 99% of gun culture and your weapons of war get

exported across our border. So let's have that talk, Donald. And by the way, do you realize that some of your biggest car manufacturers are based in Mexico? So put some tariffs on us and we'll make sure that you feel pain as well. And then Donald Trump spoke to her and Donald Trump tried to claim like a victory in the negotiation and she responded right away. She goes, no, I didn't change any of my positions. I made it very clear where Mexico stands on these issues.

Donald Trump knows that he can go pound sand. And again, it's not just Mexico who's standing up to Donald Trump. We're now seeing this internationally. We're seeing it with the EU. We're seeing it in Canada. We're seeing it with the UK. We're seeing it in countries like Panama. Heck, we're seeing it in countries like the Bahamas. But here's some of the other headlines just from the past 24 hours. France warns Donald Trump against threatening EU sovereign borders.

The foreign minister of France hits back at Donald Trump after Trump refuses to rule out military control over Greenland. And the foreign minister of France reminded Donald Trump that we in the European Union have a mutual defense agreement. So if you intend to pursue territorial conquests of Greenland, then we're going to defend Denmark, who's not just a member of NATO, by the way, if you're going to attack your NATO allies, but we here in Europe owe a defense duty to Denmark, and we will defend Denmark against you, Donald Trump. So that's one headline. Then you have Germany's chancellor warning Donald Trump over threatening to take control of Greenland on Wednesday. German's chancellor calls out Donald Trump over his threats to seize control of Greenland,

saying the inviability of borders applies to every country. Borders must not be shifted by force, said Germany's chancellor. This principle applies, and it is a foundation of our peaceful order. Again, Scholz was reacting to all of Donald Trump's statements, and Scholz said he had discussed the issue with fellow European leaders on Wednesday, reporting a certain lack of understanding regarding current statements from the U.S. among European partners. The principle of the inviolability of borders applies to every country, whether it's to the east or west of us, and every state must abide by it, whether it's a small country or a very powerful state. It is a fundamental principle of international law and a core component of what we call Western values, Donald. Germany's

Chancellor also highlighted the importance of the Western Defense Alliance, NATO, calling it the central pillar of the transatlantic relationship. During his press conference this week, Trump made more attacks on NATO, to which German's chancellor said, One thing is clear. The security situation in Europe will remain very tense for the foreseeable future. We must respond to this in a calm and resolute manner. And then they go on to basically say, look, there is a mutual defense agreement. It is out of the question that the EU allows other nations of the world, whoever they are,

and I would even say starting with Russia, to attack its sovereign borders. And that one came from French's foreign minister, who I referenced before, Jean-Noël Barrett. Barrett said that European Union must wake up and strengthen itself militarily and should not be intimidated or made to feel insecure by Donald Trump. If you're asking me whether I think the U.S. will invade Greenland, the answer is no, he said. But have we entered an era in which the law of the jungle is returning? The answer is yes. Here's page one from the Financial Times. Europe's leaders warn Trump against meddling with its sovereign borders.

Greenland threat sparks backlash. EU defense pact covers the island. Musk's support of the AFD, right-wing extreme neo-Nazi party in Germany adds to concerns. And this article talks about how European leaders are warning Donald Trump, do not meddle with our continent's borders.

German chancellor who I just referenced, it goes on to talk about, in addition, the French foreign minister who I mentioned. The EU treaty contains a mutual defense clause that specifies if a member is a victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other states have an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power. In other words, you touch Greenland, which is part of Denmark, just part of the EU. We're going to fight you, United States, and you want to trigger a war with Europe? By the way, everybody, check out the interview I did. I've done two interviews actually now with Corey Hargraves.

He's a former Army sniper. He was sent on two deployments in Iraq in connection with being a sniper. He's someone who grew up on a Native American reservation to a single mom. He was very poor. He said the only pathway available to him to do anything was join the military. And he has a very unique perspective here as well that he shares about someone like Donald Trump, who's never served in the military, and a lot of these chicken hawk MAGA Republicans, who, by the way,

were out there saying, oh, Trump's going to stop World War III. Trump's going to stop World War III from happening. And he goes, now you're going to send young men and women to die in wars against our allies, to attack a NATO country like Denmark or other countries in the EU, or attack Canada. And just watch that interview. But you know who's loving all of this? Russia. This is being reported in the Denmark papers, this out of Copenhagen. Russian cheers for Trump. Quote, he will dismantle the remnants of the old world order much faster and more effectively than we could. We do it from the outside. He does it from the inside.

Here's another Google translate of another headline there. The mood is good in the Kremlin. Trump has just fulfilled Putin's greatest wish. They can already imagine how Russia can now lay claim to Estonia, Finland, Poland, and other nations nearby because of Donald Trump's laying claim to Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal. Well, then Vladimir Putin says, of course, that's why I want all these other nations. That's why President Xi Jinping of China says, that's why I get Taiwan. That's why I get this nation. By Trump merely saying that he's going to be doing these things and that he won't rule out military force. He has created the permission structure

for countries like China to invade their neighbors, for countries like Russia to keep on invading. And Trump has already, already before day one, destroyed our international allies and alliances. He's already destroyed it before day one. Think about that. How good is that feeling of fresh, clean teeth?

And it goes on to say the ecosystem supporting this idea is different now, according to a Danish official. This seems much more serious. And they're taking the threats like they're beefing up their military and may be ready to go to war with the united states their hand we got to handle business if you're going to attack us we're going to build up military to get ready to defend ourselves and if we have to go to war and europe's going to go to war with the united states and

that's what you're going to do we'll go to war war with you. We'll do it. We hope that you're trolling, but we're ready to go. By the way, this is a meme that we created at the Midas Touch Network voters. Can we get lower prices? Trump, best I can do is invade Canada. Think about that right there. And then all these other MAGA idiots, I mean, MAGA members of Congress then gave all of these interviews and renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. This is the light of America expanding. I mean, seriously, this is, you know, you then have Benny Johnson bringing MAGA Republican Congress members on, showing them a map of the greater American empire, which involves conquering Mexico, Canada, and Greenland. And you've got all of these American MAGA politicians out there saying, no, we're going

to conquer it. This is what we want to do. This is what we're going to do. We're going to go to war with Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panama, everybody. We're going to war with everybody, apparently, according to these MAGA idiots. And world, this is not all of America. This is not all of America. It's some of America, but we don't support this.

And if this ever happens, we will make sure our voices are heard here. I want to assure you of that in the biggest way possible. We're not running away from this. And if this ever happens, we will make sure our voices are heard here. I want to assure you of that in the biggest way possible. We're not running away from this. We will confront this head on if this is what they're going to do. Okay. By the way, you have a situation where in Canada, you have everybody from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying the following, there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States. Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other's biggest trading partners. So Liberal Party, Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister, although he resigned. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh saying we're going to stand up to the bully. We are going to

make sure that if Trump's going to pick a fight, it's a fight that we're ready for. And then on the right, you have, at least on a provincial level too, I mean, you have people who were once kind of MAGA Canada, like Doug Ford, who's out there saying, why don't we conquer America? Why don't we take Alaska, Minnesota? And there are some other states that we may want as well. You also had someone in the Green Party. I did a video on her yesterday as well, saying the same thing. So they're all uniting in Canada.

The world is uniting in Canada. The world is uniting against the United States of America. America went from a uniting force, NATO, and all of our alliances, to now the world, now we're a pariah state. Now the world is uniting against us. It is humiliating here. And as long and until I still have my ability to make YouTube videos and speak my mind freely, and as long as until they lock me up, I'm going to just call out this Trump regime for the wannabe fascist, the weak, pathetic individuals that they are. I'm going to use my voice here and call them out. I'm going to do what corporate media refuses to do here in the United States. And I'm not afraid, not afraid at all. Hit subscribe.
