o live in a world where they can't just make up? Because that's the current world. They just make up. So I do think that this is a valuable push back. You know, if you could live in a perfect world, nobody would sue anybody for anything because nobody would tell a lie. But if they're gonna lie, I would rather live in a world where there's a consequence to that so that they don't come after me with…

it would help. So I think that's good.

Down in Mexico, apparently the Gen Z part of the population has been surrounding and trying to occupy their government building there. They are not too happy with their current government, Sheinbaum, President Sheinbaum. And so they've created a multi-day protest in Mexico City. And as you know, I don't have to explain this to you, the way that you conquer a major country such as Mexico is you get some people and you sort of wander around in one of the buildings. What? Two of the buildings? No, no, no. You don't need to do it in two buildings. What are you crazy? Like why would you even do that? No, you can conquer the whole country by simply wandering around in one government building. Again, not two. You don't need two buildings. That would be crazy. Just one. You need one building. Wandering around, boom, the whole country falls, right? That's what the Democrats taught me. They taught me that that's an insurrection. I think that's the word they use. An insurrection. And it's just you can do it just by wandering around.

Now, this has nothing to do with the many color revolutions that our own intelligence people have forced upon other countries such as Mexico. So even though it looks in every way like America is behind it, why would you think that? Just because it looks exactly like it. Yeah, it looks exactly like it. Maybe we're behind it. So that's happening.

And some say that the point of the protests is not just general unhappiness with the government, but a specific unhappiness that the government is actually run by the cartels. Do you think that's something that the locals can fix? Well, they could if they got rid of the government, which I believe you do by wandering around in an empty building on the weekend. Well, they're trying. And a lot of people think the president is in league with the cartels, so that's really the main part of it. They don't want to be run and owned by the cartels.

According to Wall Street Apes, big account on X that you should follow, Wall Street Apes, there's a senator from Mexico who was recently on Fox News and talking about how Mexico is basically a cartel narco country. So the claim was that the president of Mexico basically just works for the cartels. That's the claim. Was funded by the cartels. It's not just the president of the country. It's not just the president, but there's an entire group of Mexican politicians that are collectively referred to as their narco politicians and that Mexico is a narco state. And that if you imagine it's anything but that, nothing makes sense. But if you imagine it's a narco state and that the cartels are in charge and they just put a front person up that happens to be a very pleasant woman, that's probably a cartel situation.

And then the Mexican president has apparently asked for some military intervention. Right. So we'll see. The part we don't know, and maybe we'll never know, is what does Trump know about the president of Mexico? What does the president of Mexico know about what Trump knows about her? Is it a salvageable situation where somehow you can remove the cartel influence and keep the person? That doesn't seem like it would wo

rk. So is Trump trying to get rid of the president, a color revolution, that's what you'd call that, or is he trying to nurse the situation forward and find any kind of advantage that might move us forward? I don't know exactly what we're trying to do or even what's possible down there. Anyway, we'll see. Down where I live, California, the one county over, Santa Clara, they just had a special ele…
