00:16:51.300That's where we're in Maricopa County.
00:16:53.300And we're going to get to the bottom of all of it because all of the current issues we have with the country started with the stealing of the election from Trump.
00:17:10.300Up till that day, if you make a qualifying purchase of physical gold with Birch Gold, talk to the Philip Patrick team, you get a free edition of this.
00:18:43.300I just happen to think that when you hear, given the fact of how President Trump, how highly he places his military advisers in the uniform military in this entire situation, and particularly since we've had two expeditionary efforts in both June and then later with Venezuela that turned out, let's be blunt magnificently,
00:19:07.300that in General Cain's time of taking down ISIS in less time than he said, those three things put General Cain at a very special level with President Trump.
00:19:17.300This article today saying not only, it kind of implied, not only is he not for the attack now, he's kind of against the attack, unless certain things clear out of the way.
00:19:27.300In that regard, do you think the Persians are going to not become the stumbling block in getting to a diplomatic solution?
00:20:05.300So, contra the abduction of Maduro, contra the 12-day war, it wasn't a sudden military maneuver.
00:20:12.300If it happens now, everybody will know it will be highly telegraphed, which is another reason not to do it in theory, right?
00:20:18.300I mean, the enemy knows it's coming, so to speak.
00:20:21.300I think there are people in the administration that are invested in a diplomatic off route here.
00:20:26.300I don't fully know their politics, but people like Wyckoff and Kushner, I think, have been pragmatic additions to this team.
00:20:34.300And I think, although the Iranians have constraints, the Supreme Leader is a hardcore guy.
00:20:39.300He's very distrustful of the United States.
00:20:42.300There are able operators within their system to come to a deal, and a deal that I think is going to be considerably better than Obama's JCPOA.
00:20:51.300And as I've indicated on this show before, if Trump gets it done, this is the thing that can get him a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:20:57.300I mean, the Russia-Ukraine deal, any deal there is going to be highly unpopular with liberals and with Europe.
00:21:02.300But if he gets this done, if he flouts, if he ignores Benjamin Netanyahu, and he ignores the Israel lobby, and he gets this deal, it's Nixon goes to China.
00:21:23.300You can find me at at Kurt Mills, at C-U-R-T-M-I-L-L-S on X.
00:21:28.300And the magazine, I am the executive director of the American Conservative Magazine, founded in 2002 by conservatives, including Patrick J. Buchanan, against the Iraq War.
00:21:38.300And we are doing reporting, analysis, and spirited polemics against the potential new Iran war.
00:22:06.300Fire, smoke, and chaos across several Mexican states.
00:22:11.300Cities brought to a standstill as criminal groups retaliate after Mexico's most wanted drug leader died following a military operation Sunday.
00:22:21.300Blocked highways, drivers forced out of their cars at gunpoint.
00:22:27.300Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, a former police officer known to most as El Mencho, was the leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel.
00:22:36.300Wounded during a Mexican military operation and later died while being transported to Mexico City.
00:22:42.300The U.S. played a role in Sunday's operation, according to U.S. defense officials, though it's unclear to what extent.
00:22:51.300As fear spread, many Mexicans spoke out, calling for an end to the violence.
00:22:56.300People are aware of this violence, and what they want is peace, to live in harmony and justice, not in war.
00:23:04.300Blockades were reported across various states, and classes were suspended in at least three states as officials tried to contain the violence and keep civilians off the streets.
00:23:15.300I'm tired of seeing this continue every single day.
00:23:19.300Under El Mencho's command, the cartel expanded rapidly, challenging rivals like the Sinaloa cartel for control of territory and trafficking routes, according to U.S. and Mexican officials.
00:23:31.300El Mencho managed to avoid capture for years.
00:23:34.300His detention and debt is one of the most significant blows to organized crime in recent years, and the first high-profile operation under President Claudia Seymour.
00:23:46.300The fall of El Mencho may mark a major security milestone, but with tourism, foreign investment and security for the 2026 World Cup at stake, the world is watching how Mexico handles what comes next.
00:24:01.300So, Oscar, Blue Ramirez, how does Mexico handle what comes next?
00:24:06.300There's this whole controversy of the big resorts in Procter Villarta, some of the nicest resorts in North America, where thousands, tens of thousands of Americans and Canadians go.
00:24:18.300Are those people hostage right now? What's happening?
00:24:21.300Well, the majority of the tourists right now, they're wondering what they are going to do.
00:24:25.300And the statements of the government on a federal level, they have said, safeguard yourself.
00:24:29.300That's also Mexican. Safeguard yourself.
00:24:31.300If you don't have nothing else to do outside, don't go outside.
00:24:34.300Also, every educational level has been suspended from elementary all the way to colleges.
00:24:39.300Businesses are being told to close early at 6 o'clock in the morning.
00:24:43.300It looks like the Culiacanazo when the war between Los Chapos and Los Mayos had started, and it was like a curfew.
00:24:50.300People were going back home immediately to go back home.
00:24:53.300And this, basically, it tells you the level of aggression that it can escalate in a few seconds.
00:24:59.300You know, and just talking about the World Cup, it is coming up in June.
00:25:04.300And exactly on that particular place in Jalisco, where the CJNG had a lot of control, just a kilometer away from Akron Stadium, Steve.
00:25:12.300They're the collector groups that they have been searching for the bodies of missing people that the CJNG killed these people.
00:25:20.300They have been found on mass graves, more than 500 human remain bags they have found close to there.
00:25:27.300So it tells you the level of, you know, the aggression and the level of the disaster of this cartel that it was created here.
00:25:34.300And now the people want to go in protest on this World Cup to see if they can stop it because of the level of insecurity in Jalisco.
00:25:42.300Listen, with all the kinetic activity yesterday, this afternoon has been pretty calm.
00:25:48.300Is that because the military, the federalities have flooded the zone?
00:25:52.300I mean, why this calm? Is the cartel so far back on their heels?
00:26:27.300So the acceleration of the violence, we don't know how they are going to react.
00:26:32.300This is why I have recommended for people that are coming to Mexico to try to just give it this week to see how the federal government is going to manage this.
00:26:40.300See how the reaction of the cartel is going to be passive aggressive, aggressive or aggressive radical.
00:26:45.300As we have seen since yesterday, it was radical.
00:26:48.300The aggression was, you know, it was consistent the whole day burning of automobiles.
00:26:53.300They just burned one just they're saying like forty five minutes to an hour ago right there in the International Avenue that connects from the west to the east side just steps away from the border wall.
00:27:04.300So it tells you that this level of violence that is going to continue until the federal government, you know, puts a stop to it and goes to from community to community to secure these communities.
00:27:13.300David Rodriguez, he's up, David, I got about 50 seconds.
00:27:17.300I got to go to break. But you have advocated strongly for months.
00:27:21.300A Canadian Americans do not go to Mexico.
00:27:42.300All they're going to do is try to muddy up Trump's face and make and make his operation look like a fault, like it like a like it like he fumbled the ball.
00:27:50.300That's all they're going to do in this.
00:27:51.300And they're going to make it as ugly as possible with guerrilla warfare.
00:27:55.300And I think that's what's coming because this is about survival for them.
00:27:58.300You're taking away the biggest commodity drugs, human trafficking, everything.
00:30:18.300So this is all the Trump administration.
00:30:21.300This is you can put all this all this triumph to the to the Trump administration because they're the ones that they have been pressuring the Mexican government to expose this and to basically go after them.
00:30:31.300So the Mexican people are going to want they're going to just be pushing the Mexican government to do better to safeguard the communities to go after the cartels and to actually go one on one with them.
00:30:41.300Mexican president has been saying we don't want to go to war with the cartels.
00:30:44.300We don't see that that is the solution.
00:32:25.300So, you know, it's not just drug dealing and violence that they deal with.
00:32:29.300They own a lot of beautiful resorts and places.
00:32:31.300But this to me seems like they're going to keep these people held hostage for as long as it takes until they get some kind of deal or something gets done or Trump makes a move and eliminates them.
00:32:43.300This is we are now in what I like to call a Mexican standoff.
00:33:01.300And if you were if you were if you had if you had five minutes with the president in the Oval Office and he said, Nino, you're from El Paso.
00:33:28.300I think of the protests that we'll have here on American soil if they start taking innocent tourists and and you do.
00:33:37.300But but you do you are recommending kinetic activity like you saw yesterday.
00:33:42.300You're not going to go back to law enforcement because there's Sam Faddis and Prince made it very clear yesterday was a game changer and that was going kinetic.
00:33:51.300Let's go down and arrest him with their information is let's go down and take him out and take out his high command.
00:33:56.300So are you a proponent of continued, even if highly targeted, kinetic activity, paramilitary activity by the United States in conjunction with the Mexican military?
00:34:06.300It's got to look like it's coming from Mexico, like they're handling their own problems.
00:34:10.300It's got to look like it's coming from the Mexican military, because now we've reached we are in uncharted waters.
00:36:01.300Numerous stories from the fake news media have been circulating, stating that General Daniel Cain, sometimes referred as Raisin, is against us going to war with Iran.
00:36:10.300The story does not attribute the vast wealth of knowledge to anyone and is 100 percent incorrect.
00:36:16.300General Cain, like all of us, would like not to see war.
00:36:20.300But if a decision is made on going against Iran at a military level, it is his opinion that it would be something easily won.
00:36:27.300He knows Iran well and that he was in charge of Midnight Hammer, the attack on the Iranian nuclear development.
00:36:33.300It's a development no longer, but rather was blown to smithereens by our great B2 bombers.
00:36:38.300Raisin Cain is a great fighter and represents the most powerful military anywhere in the world.
00:36:42.300He has not spoken of not doing Iran or even the fake limited strikes that I have been reading about.
00:36:49.300He only knows one thing, how to win, and if he is told to do so, he will be leading the pack.
00:36:56.300Everything that has been written about a potential war with Iran has been written inaccurately and purposefully so.
00:37:23.300So there you have President Trump's response to the Axios story.
00:37:26.300And like I said, we've read it many times, President Trump's trying to get a diplomatic solution.
00:37:31.300He's trying to be, he said over and over again, I'd rather have a deal.
00:37:34.300He just said it there twice, two or three times.
00:37:36.300However, and I keep saying this, if the Ayatollah and the Mullahs want to play games and, you know, have people in separate rooms and they've got some symbolic thing, I just think President Trump, his patience will wear thin on that.
00:37:49.300He's made enough deals in his life to know you've got to be in a room and make a deal.
00:37:52.300And I think he'll, I just, I don't even see Thursday taking place with that structure.
00:37:58.300I think the Persians have got to get serious.
00:38:00.300If they want to make a deal, make a deal.
00:38:01.300If you don't want to make a deal, then stand by because President Trump will look at other alternatives.
00:38:06.300He's collected a, he's organized a vast armada and an air bridge.
00:38:11.300That is something like I've never seen before because the lethality today of our weapons system is so much greater than during the Gulf War.
00:38:51.300In fact, Spanberger is giving the response to the State of the Union tomorrow night solely because of one thing,
00:38:58.300not just she's won the governor of Virginia by 15 points or however many,
00:39:03.300but that she has put forward a proposal to change the Commonwealth from a 6-5 Democratic leaning state of the 11 seats in the House to a 10-1, an audacious grab for power.
00:39:14.300And all the mainstream media has been talking about how great she is, how wonderful she is, how aggressive,
00:39:18.300how she's joining the upper ranks of these aggressive anti-Trump Democratic politicians.
00:39:24.300But lo and behold, a poll came out that said the folks in the Commonwealth have big concerns about this.
00:39:33.300Yeah, and the poll is confirming what we're starting to hear on the ground as well,
00:39:37.300which is as people learn more about the Democrats' scheme to switch Virginia from a state that's relatively evenly balanced,
00:39:46.300there are currently six congressional districts that side with the Democrats and five that side with the Republicans,
00:39:51.300which is commensurate with our performance in the 2024 elections.
00:39:55.300She wants to switch it and just signed the bill to switch the maps to 10-1 that would go into effect after a referendum on a constitutional,
00:40:09.300a temporary constitutional amendment would be held on April the 21st.
00:40:14.300And the polling that was released today showed that Virginians are starting to get the message,
00:40:20.300and it shows the side saying no, leading by about eight points.
00:40:26.300This is the second public poll on this issue that's been released.
00:40:31.300The first one was released a couple of weeks back, really before a lot of information started getting out,
00:40:36.300and also using the Democrats' framing of the issue.
00:40:39.300We're framing it as a matter of fairness, taking it from 6-5 Democrat to Republican to 10-1 Democrat to Republican.
00:40:48.300And now that the message is getting out on our side, we're starting to see the change.
00:42:10.300But what we did have was we had a lot of activists that we've been engaging very aggressively over the course of the last several weeks in the party.
00:42:20.300We are relying almost entirely right now on a grassroots effort, engaging our activists in our local Republican committees,
00:42:27.300getting them the tools so that they can get that message out.
00:42:30.300So we really are dealing strictly with grassroots versus big money.
00:42:58.300Go to virginia.gop and slash stop dash gerrymandering.
00:43:04.300Or if you simply go to virginia.gop at the very top of the page, you'll see on the left-hand side a little piece of print that says stop gerrymandering.
00:43:45.300Imagine having the world's most connected financial insider feeding you vital information.
00:43:51.300The kind of information only a handful of people have access to.
00:43:55.300And that could create a fortune for those who know what to do with it.

00:44:56.30090% of your net worth is tied up in your home.
00:44:59.300Every dream you've ever had is in that home.
00:45:01.300Make sure it doesn't turn into a nightmare.
00:45:03.300In the age of artificial intelligence and cyber and artificial intelligence combined with cyber, rogue lawyers, rogue accountants, rogue financial advisors, rogue relatives, rogue significant others.
00:46:13.300Tony Lyons, you're one of the leaders of the Make America Healthy Again.
00:46:17.300You were a critical part of Bobby Kennedy's campaign.
00:46:20.300One of the fears is that the reason we wanted 24 and so big, popular vote, all those states, is the combination, the coalition of Make America Healthy Again and Make America Great Again.
00:46:29.300One of the concerns is that because we see people around the president saying, you've got to moderate, you've got to moderate, you've got to moderate.
00:46:36.300With Make America Healthy Again, all we want is all gas and no brakes.
00:46:40.300Your assessment, sir, how do we keep this coalition together if all of a sudden people are saying, oh, you've got to pull back for a midterm election?
00:46:46.300This is exactly the moment we should be most aggressive on the Make America Healthy Again agenda, sir.
00:46:54.300You know, MAGA is here to support the president and the incredible coalition that they built.
00:47:01.300So and then there are all these groups that are coming out who want to destroy that coalition and they want to drive a wedge and they want to make it look like there's all this disagreement within the movement.
00:47:11.300But what they miss is that the movement is based on disagreement.
00:47:27.300So that's our strength, not our weakness.
00:47:29.300But in the end, we support this president and Bobby Kennedy.
00:47:34.300And, you know, we see the incredible change that's being made that that just on on on area after area from vaccines to food to the snap program, you know, to getting candy and soda out of the snap program to, you know, switching the food pyramid on its head.
00:47:53.300So that millions and millions of people in this country start eating healthy food, start eating real food and stop eating processed food.
00:48:00.300I mean, we are here to end the chronic disease epidemic in this country that seventy six percent of the public suffer from.
00:48:20.300They you know, they they want us to have a reasonable vaccine program.
00:48:25.300These are people who want common sense and they are looking to a to a government, to a president who's going to bring back common sense.
00:48:33.300And they see that Donald Trump is the most Maha president that we've ever had.
00:48:39.300And, yeah, we're going to disagree all the time.
00:48:41.300And, you know, pesticides is that is a great point there.
00:48:44.300But we are right in the middle of this opportunity to accelerate a shift to next generation biopesticides to fast track things to have pathways for matching grants for tax incentives.
00:48:58.300We all know that glyphosate causes cancer.
00:49:01.300You know, there have been hundreds and hundreds, thousands of lawsuits proving that.
00:49:06.300So the question is, how do we off ramp?
00:49:45.300Ninety five percent of the population wants, you know, healthier food, better school lunches, stricter rules so that lawmakers can have conflicts of interest with big food companies.
00:49:55.300I mean, this is happening and these are just incredible wins.
00:49:59.300And this team is going to stick together and it's going to change the outcome of the midterms.
