hich case that can change things. But I don't think there's anybody who has business experience or economics experience who would tell you that a good time to change everything like a big risky major change from the ground up into your society and your economics and everything is when everything is better than it's ever been. That's exactly the time you don't do that. So this is a perfect example…
← Previous segment →ly happening. One of the reasons is Republicans like a good practical joke. Am I right? People, conservatives enjoy a good practical joke. And I'm not sure the people on the left have the same type of sense of humor on average. You know, obviously individuals are all over the place, but on average I think the left doesn't like a good practical joke as much as people on the right. So play a good practical joke.
Somebody says I lied four years ago. Yeah. If somebody says yes, it's a reflex. Yeah, look at all the people saying that they already lied to pollsters. Well, I think that's going to go into overdrive. Imagine how much fun you will have on an election day if all the polls were wrong again and Trump gets re-elected in a landslide. Can you imagine how much fun you're going to have if he gets re-elected in a landslide and all the polls were wrong right up to Election Day? Come on, that would be funny. You know it would.
All right, let's see what else we got going on. All right, a few more topics here. Mexico just had this gigantic gun battle between the military and police and the cartels. Twenty-one people dead, and that's not even counting wounded. So this just happened, I think yesterday. Twenty-one people dead in a gun battle between police and the cartels. Could you imagine that kind of news happening in this country?
And apparently what started it all was the cartel rolled into some town in Mexico near the border and actually tried to take over the town like ISIS. The cartel actually came in with a military-sized contingent to actually just take over the town, and they succeeded. They took over a town. They held territory. And the Mexican military came in and killed them. And a few of the several cops or policemen were killed at the same time, unfortunately.
Now, apparently the murder rate in Mexico is a hundred a day on average. A hundred a day. So let's make no mistake, the cartels are now essentially a Chinese proxy force. Too strong to say that the cartels are a Chinese proxy military? I think they are. I mean, that's not how they see themselves, of course, but in effect, because they're handling Chinese fentanyl which is shipped to this country and kills tens of thousands. And that's supported by China. It's supported by their leadership because they have the ability to stop it. They choose not to.
So I think war is guaranteed between the United States and the cartels. And I'm going to make a further prediction. It will not necessarily — I'll put it necessarily to add a little bit there — won't necessarily be with the cooperation of the government of Mexico. Do you think there's any chance that the government of Mexico is not corrupted by the cartels? There's no chance of that. The cartels have clearly corrupted the government of Mexico. So getting the Mexican government to agree to U.S. military action against the cartels could never happen because the cartels own the government. And if somebody in the government of Mexico sai

d, yeah, go ahead, come on in and help us get rid of these cartel people, well, that politician would be dead by the afternoon. So we can't get Mexico's government's approval, and we can't let a Chinese military proxy force on our border. So I think we have to attack the cartels by wiping out the cartels. Now, if the cartels decided to change their business to something that's not a Chinese proxy…
