President Trump stated that the proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods will be implemented on March 4 as planned. This is due to his claim that drugs are flowing into the U.S. from those countries. Trump said that drugs continue to pour into the country, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and that the U.S. is losing substantially more than 100,000 people. He stated that families are destroyed as a result.

We're seeing a unified effort across President Trump's national security team and the Department of Homeland Security to ensure a safe, free, and prosperous society for Americans. Over 21 million people have crossed our borders illegally under the Biden administration, many unvetted. For example, over 4,000 people from Central Asia, affiliated with an ISIS network, crossed our borders. Hundreds were identified as known terrorists or associated with known terrorists. This information was provided to the Biden administration, yet only a fraction of those arrested were deported or remained in custody; the rest were released into our country. We're working with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to keep Americans safe. Our counterterrorism center is focused on vetting to identify and remove those who pose a threat. The president's designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations is crucial, especially with their tactics mirroring those of Islamist terrorists. Our mission is clear: to keep the American people safe.

An illegal immigrant, El Mano Negro, admitted to assassinating over 25 people in the county for a cartel that was dismantled. Members of the cartel admitted that moving human beings, drugs, guns, and fentanyl is easier now than ever before in the cartel's history. According to the speaker, law enforcement resources are quickly depleted because of the Biden and Harris administration. The speaker stated that law enforcement sees victim after victim, and these stories are not unfamiliar to law enforcement throughout California.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexican airspace. These drones, while currently unarmed, can be equipped for precision strikes. The CIA is sharing the intel gathered with Mexican officials to dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. Previously, the Trump administration had similar drone flights but without notifying Mexican partners. There are concerns about potential overreach. Using US military in a foreign country could resemble an invasion. Mexico's president downplayed the drone presence as campaign related. Our president is expected to formally designate six Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations this week. Also, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to radio frequencies that could trigger explosives and social media posts revealing agent locations. The order to stand down has been lifted, and agents are wearing body cams again, but we are waiting to hear how the issues were resolved.

The cartels have warned of escalating violence, and with both Mexican and U.S. troops at the border, military involvement is expected. The Mexican military is positioned to counter the cartels, who have previously engaged them. As the U.S. secures the border and reduces crossings significantly, cartels are likely to retaliate, especially given their record profits from smuggling and trafficking. President Trump has designated them as terrorist organizations due to the harm they cause, particularly through fentanyl. A strong message is sent to the cartels: any harm to U.S. troops will provoke a severe response. The cartels may claim toughness, but they are no match for the power of the U.S. military and the resolve of President Trump.

Rampant illegal immigration and the illicit drug trade, particularly fentanyl, are costing the American people more than a potential trade war. President Trump aims to ensure that China, Mexico, and Canada prioritize U.S. national security as much as they do their own. Fentanyl's precursor materials come from China, are assembled in Mexico, and are the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45. Trump has committed to using every available tool to secure the nation, and addressing this crisis is part of that effort.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexico. These drones aren't armed now but can be. The CIA shares the drone intel with Mexican officials to help dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. These missions have occurred before. Under the Trump administration, notifications were made without mentioning Mexican partners. There are concerns about potential violations to national sovereignty if the US military crosses the border. Despite these concerns, Mexico's president dismissed the drone flights as campaign tactics. We anticipate the President will formally designate six cartels as terrorist organizations this week. In other news, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to risks of triggering explosive devices and social media leaks of agent locations. However, the stand down has been lifted, and agents are to resume using body cameras. We are currently trying to find out the solution and how they are mitigating the risk.

I have a message for the criminal cartels in Mexico: your fentanyl smuggling has killed 148,000 young Americans, more than all terrorist organizations combined. When President Trump returns to office, he will designate you as a terrorist organization and take decisive action against you. To the illegal aliens released in our country under Joe Biden's administration, you should start packing your bags. The crime and drug issues in our neighborhoods are unacceptable, and President Trump has demonstrated his commitment to addressing these problems for the American people.

As an outsider in Texas, immigration has drastically changed the state. Trump effectively enforced federal laws, unlike previous administrations. Designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations allows the military to act against them, protecting states from cartel violence. The Biden administration's policies have indirectly funded the cartels, encouraging illegal immigration, which is a major profit source for them. They use these profits to buy weapons, some of which are surface-to-air, creating potential threats. George Soros has influenced the election of DA's in key Texas counties, leading to a proliferation of crime as these DA's often fail to prosecute, even financial crimes. This gives cartels an open invitation to operate. There's a fear among politicians of being targeted by these DAs, preventing effective action against crime.

Dr. Paul and the other speaker discuss a sequence of public claims and shifts regarding Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, and the Cartel de los Soles. They begin by recalling a $50,000,000 bounty on President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela, arguing that Maduro is the head of a narco-terrorist drug cartel called Cartel de los Soles. They note that Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio stated in November that the State Department intends to designate Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization headed by the illegitimate Nicolas Maduro, asserting that the group has corrupted Venezuela’s institutions and is responsible for terrorist violence conducted with other designated foreign terrorist organizations, as well as for trafficking drugs into the U.S. and Europe. The speakers claim that for weeks Americans were exposed to a narrative portraying foreign narco-terrorist cartels running the country and that this narrative influenced public opinion, making some believe it might be acceptable to take drastic actions, including attacking boats, on the premise that “they’re all terrorists.” They then point to a development that “dropped yesterday,” presenting a clip that, once Maduro was “in their grasp,” the Justice Department allegedly dropped the claim that Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles is an actual group. They assert that after months of hype intended to drum up support for invading Venezuela, the claim was retracted, with the implication that the government figures had misrepresented the situation. The speakers compare this sequence to the Iraq WMD narrative, asserting that officials “swore up and down for years” about WMDs, and when the invasion occurred they were shown joking about the existence of WMDs. They recall President George W. Bush joking about WMDs at a White House Correspondents’ Dinner, looking under the couch and the coffee table, asking “Where’s those WMDs?” They conclude by likening the Cartel de los Soles to the WMDs of their operation, arguing that the construct is already completely falling apart. The overarching claim is that the Cartel de los Soles was used as a justification for aggressive action, and that the narrative surrounding the cartel has been exposed as unreliable or false.

Cartels are adapting, particularly by increasing maritime operations. We anticipated this shift and have tripled Coast Guard patrols in response. We will shut them down on the water as well. Our goal is to put them out of business entirely. President Trump is designating them as criminal terrorist organizations, and rightfully so. They've caused more American deaths than all other terrorist groups combined. We will wipe them out by cutting off their funding, which is the source of their power to bribe and operate. Our strategy extends beyond Mexico. We're targeting the Jalisco cartel and other cartels in the 43 countries where they currently operate. We're launching a global attack to dismantle their networks.

The speaker asserts that cartels are running Mexico and expresses that it is very sad to watch what has happened to the country. They claim that the cartels are killing about 250,000 to 300,000 people in our country every single year, mentioning drugs as part of the issue.

A memo from the Rio Grande Valley Sector reveals that cartels are authorized to use weaponized drones and explosives against CBP personnel and U.S. law enforcement at the southern border. Agents are advised to remain vigilant and to carry their long arms. There is ongoing infighting between rival cartel factions in Tamaulipas, which has escalated to an all-out war. This situation raises significant concerns about the potential use of these drones against U.S. personnel.

Tomorrow, February 1st, President Trump will implement tariffs in response to the illegal fentanyl crisis. A 25% tariff will be imposed on Mexico and Canada, and a 10% tariff on China. These measures are aimed at addressing the distribution of fentanyl, which has resulted in the deaths of millions of Americans. This action reflects the president's commitment to his promises.

Speaker 0 argued that Maduro was not democratically elected and was not cracking down on drug trafficking to the U.S. and other countries, contrasting this with Honduras’ crackdown on drug trafficking supported by agencies like the DEA and Southcom, which earned praise for the Honduran government. The discussion then turned to U.S. policy. Speaker 0 asked whether the interviewee supports what the Trump administration did, or believes there is a line that should not be crossed. They noted that the U.S. military action against Maduro—bombing the country, entering, capturing Maduro, killing members of his government, and taking him to jail—was seen by some as positive, with Maduro described as a criminal who destroyed the country and economy. Speaker 1 responded by focusing on the human impact in Venezuela and other Latin American countries. They stated that a large portion of the population has suffered, with a notable number of people migrating from Venezuela and Honduras. They asserted that elections in Venezuela were stolen by Maduro’s regime, stating that the opposition’s poll results were stored in the cloud and the government did not want to see them because they knew they would lose. They described this as not democracy. They added that, since Hondurans left the country due to trafficking, vessels by sea and illegal flights were bringing jobs to Honduras, but also causing deaths and bloodshed. They argued that if the Trump administration framed Drug Trafficking as terrorism, it was warranted because the drug flow to the United States harmed not only U.S. citizens but also Honduras, which faced the highest death toll in fifteen years due to drugs coming through its borders, largely from Venezuela, and that nothing was done about this by prior administrations. Speaker 0 then asked for the stance on U.S. intervention in general: should intervention be allowed only in certain cases (e.g., Maduro), or should there be no U.S. intervention in Latin America under any president? Speaker 1 shared a Venezuelan friend’s view that there are no options to change Venezuela and that intervention might be necessary if there is no other way to save Venezuela. From a Honduran perspective, they believed Trump’s actions helped not only Honduras but also other Central American and regional countries along the drug-trafficking routes, by reducing corruption, bloodshed, and deaths. They argued that the political machinery Chavez created and used to stall elections in other Latin American countries had previously gone unchecked by the U.S., and that Trump faced Maduro with a confrontation. They concluded that many people in the world do not know what has been happening in Venezuela and its impact on the region. They stated that Trump confronted Maduro, who now has a chance to defend himself in a trial, and emphasized the issue of sovereignty for every country.

Border patrol agents have exchanged gunfire with Mexican drug cartels, and the situation is expected to escalate. President Trump plans to seal the border and dismantle the cartels, which he has designated as terrorist organizations. The goal is to eliminate their involvement in trafficking, smuggling, and drug operations, leading to increased violence at the southwest border. The U.S. government will take action against these groups not only in Mexico but also in the 42 countries where the Jalisco cartel operates. The Trump administration aims to confront them decisively, similar to the approach taken against the caliphate, with the intent to destroy them.

The speaker states that, according to the Trump administration, cartels have been labeled a foreign terrorist organization. The speaker then asks for a response to this designation and a message for Donald Trump.

A cartel admitted it is easier to move human beings, drugs, guns, and fentanyl across the border now than in the history of their cartel. This has occurred within the last 3 years. Law enforcement resources are quickly depleted due to the Biden and Harris administration.

Venezuela is turned into a narco terrorist state that continues to work with the FARC, continues to work with ELN from Colombia to send record amounts of cocaine from Venezuela, from Colombia into the Mexican cartels that continue to come into The United States at record amounts. "We have seized more cocaine this year than past years." "The amount of methamphetamine coming into this country continues to be on the uptick, and we still see record amounts of fentanyl coming into our country." "But the Venezuelan corruption, the Venezuelan dictatorship, he is a narco terrorist." "They continue to send this poison to The United States killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, not to mention the TDA members that they send to our country to destroy the beautiful streets of The United States."

General Bondi is recognized for her leadership in safeguarding American lives by confronting narco-traffickers, who the administration has labeled as foreign terrorist organizations responsible for an American overdose death every seven minutes. The Department of Justice will continue to safeguard streets using a whole-of-government approach, involving the Department of Defense, Coast Guard, HSI, FBI, and DEA, to remove drugs from the streets and dismantle Mexican cartels. The FBI will follow Bondi's mission priority across the country to eradicate these foreign terrorist organizations, holding them accountable and scouring the earth to find them. Unshackling law enforcement and military personnel leads to seizures that save lives.

Another message to the Mexican cartels: you have smuggled enough fentanyl to kill 148,000 young Americans, causing more deaths than all terrorist organizations combined. When President Trump returns to office, he will designate you as a terrorist organization and take decisive action against you. Your time is up.

A memo from the Rio Grande Valley Sector reveals that cartels are authorizing the use of weaponized drones and explosives against CBP personnel and U.S. law enforcement at the southern border. Agents are advised to remain vigilant and to be prepared with their long arms. There is ongoing infighting between rival cartel factions in Tamaulipas, which raises concerns about potential attacks on U.S. personnel. This situation highlights a significant escalation in cartel threats, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness and preparedness among law enforcement.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexican airspace. These drones, while currently unarmed, can be equipped for precision strikes. The CIA is sharing the drone-collected information with Mexican officials, focusing on dismantling these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. These flights, previously conducted under the Trump administration, were done so under covert designations. According to a geopolitical strategist, deploying US military forces into a foreign country raises concerns of potential invasion. Mexico's president Sheinbaum downplayed the drone flights as campaign maneuvers. President Biden is expected to designate at least six Mexican cartels and gangs as terrorist organizations this week. In other news, Border Patrol initially stopped using body cameras due to potential detection by criminals and IED interference. However, that decision has been reversed, and they are now resuming normal operations with body cameras. We are waiting to hear how the risks have been mitigated.

An executive order has been issued designating cartels and other organizations as foreign terrorist organizations. This decision, long sought after, acknowledges the severe impact these groups have, with estimates suggesting they are responsible for the deaths of around 250,000 to 300,000 Americans annually, far exceeding previous reports of 100. While Mexico may not support this designation, it is deemed necessary to address the crisis.
