Donald Trump, I had played earlier in the week a video where she showed a map from 1607 where the United States was actually labeled Mexico America. And she said, all right, Donald, you want to talk about real territorial boundaries? You want to try to troll us?

Well, perhaps the United States should be renamed Mexico. Now, one of the things that President Claudia Scheinbaum also did this past week is she showed the people of her country a video of the people in the United States who are addicted to fentanyl, the people here whose lives have been ravaged by fentanyl. The point President Scheinbaum was powerfully making is that, Donald, you can go and attack Mexico for all of these things, but 99% of the consumption of these synthetic drugs, it's taking place in the United States. The consumer of these drugs are in the United States and the country that's largely responsible for distributing fentanyl, well, that's in Asia, right? That's China and other countries, not Mexico. So you've got your facts wrong. And she played this video in the context

of a public service announcement to Mexico and to Mexicans saying, you got to be careful here. We don't want to be like the United States. Look at all of their problems. We need to make sure we don't fall victim to what's going on there. So as you notice what's happening here. So as Donald Trump is trying to denigrate Mexico and act like Mexico's a horrible place. By the way, my wife's Mexican, her family's from Mexico, from Guadalajara. When I visit, it's beautiful. The people are incredible there. President Scheinbaum's appealing to Mexico's pride in their country and saying,

okay, you want to go after us? We're going to go after you. Watch this. I think it's brilliant. I want to know your thoughts. Let's play it i'm seeing horrific and terrible scenes from various cities in the united states that are currently facing a serious crisis due to a drug called fentanyl it has this a characteristic of relieving pain but it's very

very addictive this fentanyl crisis is happening in some cities in the United States and in other places. We don't want it to reach Mexico. We are doing a new edition of the campaign that President López Obrador launched to inform about what this drug is. It sometimes comes by itself and is sold this way or sometimes it comes mixed with other drugs. Clearly all young people or anyone should stay away from drugs. But particularly about this powerful drug, fentanyl, which causes enormous addiction and ultimately kills neurons. There are many deaths in the United States due to overdoses.

So we all have to take care of the moms, to the parents, to be close to their children and to everyone, especially teenagers. Don't get close to drugs. It's a false escape. In reality, if you have problems, you should reach out to your family, to friends, to true friends, or they can call the government of Mexico's lifeline.

Fentanyl ultimately kills. And I know that together all Mexicans will take care of each other. Fentanyl destroys your body. Exercise makes you strong. Fentanyl hooks you from the very first time. True friendships take care of you. Fentanyl kills you. A united family gives you life.

Stay away from drugs. They add fentanyl to make them more addictive. Choose to be happy if you need help call the lifeline at 800-911-2000 government of mexico you see what president scheinbaum is doing there it's very tactical she's not just doing that for no reason she's essentially saying all right donald you're saying that we're a crappy place to live? We think that the United States is right there. Let me show you what she did as well. Again, earlier in the week, I referenced this in the video where she showed that map from 1607 saying, actually, the United States is Mexico.

You can't conquer us. The United States belongs to Mexico. So we're doing this game. Let's play it. Here, play this clip. Obviously, Gulf of Mexico is a 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. Now, look, the key message that President Scheinbaum has been pushing is for countries, specifically the United States, to respect the sovereignty of other nations, that independent nations should not be bullied, coerced, militarily, economic, or otherwise by other nations. Respect our sovereignty and respect the sovereignty of other nations. And President Scheinbaum, in this next video I'm going to play for you, sticking up for Panama, because Donald Trump says that he's considering and not ruling out military action against Panama to conquer the Panama Canal or to acquire the Panama Canal, which, by the way, was a lease. It never belonged to the United States.

But here, President Scheinbaum says, look, people of Panama, we stand in solidarity with you. Mexico stands in solidarity with Panama. Let's play this. Okay, I gotta tell you about this game-changing product I used before a night out with drinks. It's called Z-Biotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink. Let's face it, after a night out with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. I used to feel like I had to choose between a great night out and a great next day, until I found Z-Biotics. Z-Biotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct

in the gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's the blame for your rough next day. Z-biotics produces an enzyme that breaks this byproduct down. Just remember, make Z-biotics your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow. I won't lie, I was skeptical at first, but I gave it a shot before a night out with friends at our favorite spot downtown, and I could not believe the difference. The next morning, I woke up ready to tackle a pack schedule, no sluggishness, no regrets. Now, I use ZBiotics every time I know I've got plans the next day.

There's a broader geopolitical situation taking place here, a realignment of power, if you will. So one of the most important things that you need to remember, and I've been covering this a lot, is that China has been increasing its influence, whether it's in Mexico or go further south to Central American countries, go further south to

South America, or you talk about just other countries throughout the world in Africa and elsewhere in Europe. China has its second Silk Road program, its Belt and Roads program, where they go around and they say, look, we respect your sovereignty. We want to invest billions of dollars in your industry, and we want to be a reliable ally with you. Now it's CCP propaganda, but President Xi's been pushing this and trying to undercut America by saying, look, you can't rely on America as an ally because just look at the things that they're doing. So one of the things that happened is that President Xi Jinping, before the G20 that took place about two months ago, requested a meeting with President Scheinbaum of Mexico. President Scheinbaum at first declined

to have that meeting because it would be viewed potentially as a slap in the face to the United States of America. But after Trump won the election and after Donald Trump started doing all the Trumpy things, not only did she agree to meet with President Xi Jinping during the G20 summit, but she was photographed with him in multiple photographs. And if you know the message that's being sent, if you understand the geopolitics here, she's sending a message to the United States saying, okay, you want to abandon us? We'll find other allies abroad who we can work with and who we can export our products to. Okay, you want to put tariffs on us to try to harm our industries? Look what happened with soy farmers in the United States in the first Trump

administration when Trump imposed tariffs on China. China retaliated by shutting down imports of soy from soy farmers in the United States. And what happened? Brazil became the beneficiary as part of the BRICS bloc, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. And this really screwed over the soybean farmers. So what did the Republicans have to do? You know, they all say, oh, we hate government handouts. Well, what ended up having to happen is massive government subsidies from the Trump administration had to go to farmers, not just soy farmers, other farmers as well,

to basically pay them to basically destroy their own crops for the surplus that they couldn't sell. So quite literally a government handout because otherwise the farming industry would die. And then the government, the Republicans say, okay, we want to cut the subsidies to the farmers in your red states that you had to create and give the government handouts because you prevented the farmers from exporting their goods abroad with your tariffs. Just think about what's going on here. So President Xi Jinping's meeting with Claudia Scheinbaum, but met with the leader of Panama, met with the leader of Honduras, and all these countries, Panama in 2017, Honduras in 2023,

they're cutting off their diplomatic ties with Taiwan in favor of Beijing. And they are developing these relationships. And so it is emboldening these countries to stand up as well to the United States. I finally want to play you this one right here. This is President Scheinbaum as well. And here she is with her initial response when Donald Trump started threatening tariffs against Mexico. Remember this? This was the original response from

Scheinbaum where she's like, Donald, we're not playing around here. Remember this one back from a few months ago? Let's play it. al presidente electo Donald Trump. A un arancel vendrá otro en respuesta y así hasta que pongamos en riesgo empresas comunes. Sí, comunes. Siempre hemos manifestado la disposición de México para evitar que siga la epidemia de fentanilo en los Estados Unidos, que por lo demás es un problema de consumo y de salud pública de la sociedad de su país. De acuerdo con las cifras de la Patrulla Fronteriza y de Aduanas de su país, CBP, los encuentros en la frontera entre México y Estados the United States have reduced by 75% from December 2023 to November 2024. So there you have it, folks.
