the guns. How can you explain those two things?

Well, unfortunately there is one way to explain it. Now I'm not going to say that this is the truth. I'm going to say that it would explain our observation in a way that nothing else does. And it goes like this: the cartels effectively own the government of Mexico. The cartels make a tremendous amount of money helping small groups of mostly Mexican citizens across the border. So it's a gigantic profit center for the cartels to let the onesies and twosies across the border. Lots of them. I mean it's a big volume but they're coming across in small groups.

The reason that the Guatemalans form up into large convoys is so that the cartel can't abuse them and can't take their money and can't profit. So it seems that the government of Mexico is very, very flexible and willing to work with us when it helps the profit of the cartel. Now it helps us, so I think we're pretty happy that Mexico is stopping the caravans. But the caravans were the one way that the cartels couldn't make money because they formed caravans for that purpose so the cartels could not blackmail them and threaten them. It was a security reason. That's why they do it.

So my guess is that there may be perhaps even some kind of understanding with our government that we're really dealing with the cartels and that if we can get them to stop the massive immigration at least we got something and we're gonna have to figure out what to do about fentanyl later.

I saw on the news, I don't know who was talking about it, that we have some kind of process where we check the incoming, I guess once a month we randomly check incoming shipping containers or goods coming in from China. In our recent checks something like 15 percent of all the goods coming in from China are contraband. 15 percent. One five. 15 percent of everything that's coming in from China is either counterfeit goods that are competing with American products or other products, could be European, and fentanyl and drugs. 15 percent. And apparently that's one of the ways we can tell if they're cooperating over time. So once a month they'll do a survey and if it's still 15 percent it means that China is not cracking down on intellectual property. They're not cracking down on fentanyl because they have the ability. We know they have the ability.

And so I'm looking at all this and I'm thinking I don't know if we've done enough working with China to stop the fentanyl. I hear there's something happening. You know that there's noise about them being successful. But I'll say it a million times: as long as the top known fentanyl dealer in China is still free, which I believe he is — somebody can fact-check me on that but I believe he's just shopping and walking around and selling fentanyl by the barrel — as long as that guy is still alive and free, China's not doing anything. That's not real.

All right. Scott Jennings had an interesting opinion piece on CNN which I took some inspiration from for a tweet. And Scott Jennings' point was that — well, here's the way I summarized it in my tweet, so these are my words. I said it's starting to look as if the permanent stain of impeachment will be on Pelosi for trivializing the process, while at the same time it confirms that Trump is directly over the target he was elected to destroy.

Now Scott Jennings' point, which I basically stole to reword into a tweet because I wanted the crisp version because it just transmits better, his point was that Donald Trump was elected to break the parts of the government we don't like. Right? That's pretty true. Nobody elected Trump to be a steady state, to keep it the same, keep this ship going just the way it was. He was brought in to just break stuff. He was brought in like a wrecking ball to just wreck all the stuff that was frozen and broken and corrupt.

Now of course he can't get rid of all corruption and all problems in the government. But what would you expect the world would look like if he were successful in doing what his voters asked him to do? Well, one of the things that I think you could predict is that the other side would try everything they could to stop him. They would try all the easy stuff first. Let's try to beat him in the election. Okay, that didn't work. Let's try to beat him in public opinion. Okay, he's really good at that. That's not working. Let's beat him by controlling the press. Oh, he just de-legitimized the entire press. Let's use our deep state and people we have in maybe the FBI or the Department of Justice. Oh, they got caught.

Think about it. The Democrats have thrown everything you could throw at this president. What would be the most natural result? Here's the key point and this is what I'm stealing from Scott Jennings. What would be the natural outcome of Trump succeeding at what he promised his voters? Impeachment. Given that the House is controlled by the other party, you would expect — and in fact we should have been able to predict — that the better Trump did in terms of destroying the things that people wanted him to destroy, everything from the press to every old way of doing things — apparently he was calling his generals idiots. I'm not even sad about that. He came in to break stuff. He's breaking stuff. And he's not breaking the stuff I didn't want broken. He's only breaking the stuff I thought needed to get a little bit broken. Please shake the box, right?

So this weird thing is forming, which is that the impeachment is starting to morph or evolve from the worst state a president could have to — wait for it — the clearest signal that he's doing what the voters asked him to do. You could not have a more clear signal that he's right over the target because he's getting all the anti-aircraft fire. They're unloading the clip. All right, they're throwing everything at him. It's all they had left and it looks desperate.

Impeachment is starting to look like a death rattle for the Democratic Party. And it's starting to look — not even starting to look, I can state this as a firm statement of fact — Pelosi is going to wear the stain of impeachment forever because she broke one of the most important parts of the Constitution. She broke impeachment by mistreating it, by trivializing it, by using it as a base political tool instead of the last resort. She's gonna have to live with that forever.

Every time in the future there's another impeachment — and you know there's going to be a lot of them, gonna be a lot of them. Every time your president is a different party from the House, impeachment's just automatic. And what will every story say about that? They're going to say Pelosi did this. They're going to say Pelosi broke this. This used to be a process that would get rid of a Richard Nixon. Now it's not. Now it's just a broken partisan thing. And that stain will be on Pelosi forever.

But what a
