Fierce, powerful, popular, everything that Donald Trump isn't. That's Mexico's President Claudia Scheinbaum. Let me share with you the strong message that she delivered,
that she will be going after American companies or anybody who's aiding and abetting the problems that are being caused
in Mexico. She's standing up to Donald Trump's defamatory statements about Mexico in quintessential
Claudia Scheinbaum fashion. Play this clip. Mexico has an international lawsuit against
gun manufacturers and distributors in the United States.
If they were to decree to organize crime groups as terrorists, well, we would have to expand
the lawsuit in the United States.
Because then, as was already recognized, the United States Department of Justice itself,
that 74% of the weapons of criminal groups come from the United States.
So then how do the manufacturers and distributors stand regarding the decree. Maybe, I don't know.
The lawyers are looking into it, but they could be accomplices.
What we will never accept is interference, interventionism.
And we will always defend our sovereignty.
Now, it should be noted as well that President Claudia Scheinbaum has about an 80% approval
rating, something that Donald Trump
wished that he had. She's been standing up to Donald Trump at every step of the way.
Here she is earlier in the week as well. That last clip I showed you was end of the week.
This was a little bit earlier in the week where she talks about Donald Trump's ridiculous premises
of renaming the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of America. And she goes,
hey, Google, you want to do that? Guess what? We're a sovereign nation as well. We'll come
after you, Google, she basically says. Here, watch this. Not even President Trump is proposing that
the entire Gulf of Mexico be called the Gulf of America, but only its continental shelf.
First, let me thank the Encyclopedia Britannica because indeed it is the Gulf of America, but only its continental shelf. First, let me thank the Encyclopedia
Britannica because indeed it is the Gulf of Mexico. Now, with whom we do have a dispute at
the moment is with Google, where in the United States it will show Gulf of America and in other
places Gulf of Mexico and in other places both Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America. But they are
not correct. Google is wrong. The decree was given again and they were informed of the
international norms again. If they keep insisting, we are also considering even a lawsuit because
they are even naming over the Mexican territory, which is our continental shelf. What we are
telling Google is to review the decree issued by the White House house it does not refer to the entire gulf but to the
continental shelf but let's hope they do a review it is important that private companies dedicated
to information provide correct information as the guardian reports mexican president blasts
the united states for harboring drug cartels. She's saying, look, Donald, you're
coming after us. We're coming after you. The lifeblood of cartels, which you want to label
terrorist organizations, are your weapons that are getting into the United States. And also,
it is your people who are consuming the fentanyl. It is Americans who are bringing the fentanyl abroad.
So if you want to come after us, then you're basically coming after yourself. So you come
after Mexico? Well, then we'll go after the gun manufacturers. Here's what she goes. She goes,
quote, there is organized crime in the United States and there are American people who come
to Mexico with these illegal activities. She goes on to say,
otherwise, who would distribute fentanyl
in the cities of the United States?
She goes, it's the Americans who are fueling this,
so don't blame it on us, she says.
Her comments follow a report published on Monday
which showed that arrest of U.S. citizens for offenses
related to organized crime had increased by more than 450% during the tenure of her predecessor, Obrador.
Scheinbaum called on Washington not just to help crack down on cartels in Mexico,
but for the United States to do its job in the U.S. to make the arrests that need to be made in order to halt the trafficking of drugs in its own country, she says.
And what I like about this is she's going on the offense here, and she's not just allowing
Donald Trump to control the narrative.
She also says, OK, let's take a look at some of the entities that we will sue.
She goes, a lot of the guns are coming in
from American gun manufacturers.
So why don't we go after and sue Smith & Wesson, Beretta?
Why don't we sue Colt Manufacturing Company?
Maybe Mexico takes action
against these American gun manufacturers.
If you want to come after us, two can play at that game.

in Canada with the organic boycott taking place.
It's not just retaliatory tariffs as a threat in response to Trump's tariffs. It's Canadians are
saying, okay, you want to come after us? We're not going to visit the United States. See what
happens when we boycott your goods and your groceries and your products and your stores.
See what happens when we don't travel
to the United States and we contribute $22 billion to the United States in tourism alone.
We'll crash that and then we'll help crash your economy if you're going to keep saying we should
be the 51st state. People are fighting back. Countries are fighting back in different ways.
And here we see Claudia Scheinbaum saying, okay, you're labeling
Mexico with all of these horrific labels. Okay, well, guess where those guns come from? Guess
where the fentanyl problem really is? Now, we've showed you some of these clips before
of Claudia Scheinbaum standing up for the sovereignty of other nearby countries like
Panama. Here she is talking about stop saying that you want to conquer Panama.
Belongs to the Panamanians here. Watch this. And here's Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum clapping back at Donald Trump
from using a map from, and she uses a map from 1607 to say, if we really want to understand your history, Donald,
then you should know that actually the United States belongs to Mexico. Remember what I showed
you this clip at every step of the way she's been going on the offense, 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 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. And her going on the offense started right after the election. As soon as Donald Trump
started using the anti-Mexico
rhetoric, and she went, bam, she went right into it. She said, okay, you want to go after us?
Guess what? Your auto manufacturers are in Mexico. You want to talk about the big American auto
companies? Their factories are right here in Tijuana and elsewhere. So you tariff us,
you're tariffing yourself, idiot. Basically what she
said. And by the way, you are the one who negotiated the trade deal between Canada,
the US and Mexico, the USMCA, United States, Mexico, Canada agreement, which followed NAFTA,
which you said you didn't like. You said the USMCA is so big, bigly, beautiful. That was your deal.
And now you're saying you're getting ripped
off based on your own deal. Uh-uh, not happening, she says. So we had Mexico's President Claudia
Scheinbaum clapping back at Trump with that map. Then we have over here, we have Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau of Canada. Also, like, I just want to show you, like, the world leaders are fighting back.
They smell weakness with Donald Trump.
The same way, like, Putin smells weakness.
Now even our allies are like, this guy is weak and pathetic and cognitively not there.
Play this clip.
You previously said that it's a real thing that Trump wants to annex Canada.
How serious or urgent would you classify that threat?
Let's be very clear.
Conversations around a 51st state are a non-starter.
It's never going to happen.
But we have to take seriously what the president is saying
and fold that into our thinking as we continue to stand up for Canada.
Here's Trudeau again, play the clip.
I've said unequivocally from the beginning, there's not a snowball's chance in hell
that Canada will ever be the 51st state. And here's German Chancellor Scholz, play this clip.
The Bundestag should come to a decision as soon as possible declaring the war in Ukraine and its
severe consequences for the security of Germany and Europe as a declaring the war in Ukraine and its severe consequences for the
security of Germany and Europe as a state of emergency in terms of article 115 paragraph 2
of the basic law. This leads to our support for Ukraine which is more important today than ever
no longer coming at the expense of the other duties that our state has to fulfill for its own
citizens. Well it's great to see President Claudia Scheinbaum again fighting back against Donald Trump.
As Donald Trump says this about Putin. Play this clip.
Yesterday were pretty accurate.
I don't see any way that a country in Russia's position could allow them,
just in their position, could allow them to join NATO.
I don't see that happening.
And long before President Putin, Russia was very strong on the fact that I believe that's
the reason the war started. Because Biden went out and said that they could join NATO
and he shouldn't have said that as soon as he said that I said, you know what, you're
gonna have a war now and I was right about that. This is a war that would have never
happened if I were president.
You don't think it's President Biden's fault, not President Putin's?
I think Biden is incompetent.
And I think when he said that
they could join NATO, I thought that was a very stupid thing to say.
I thought when he said, well, it depends if it's a minor incursion.
In other words, it's OK if Russia does a minor incursion.
I thought that was a very foolish thing to say.
Do you see the difference in leadership there?
Do you see the difference?
Let me know what you think.
