[00:00:06] of
[00:00:22] of
[00:00:37] of
[00:00:55] of
[00:01:01] of in
[00:01:04] of
[00:01:11] "We're
[00:01:13] of all undoubtedly familiar with Churchill's famous statement that the difference between a politician and a
[00:01:17] statesman is that a politician is thinking about the next
[00:01:21] election while a true statesman is thinking about the next
[00:01:25] of generation. It is obvious that Trump is thinking about
[00:01:28] the next midterm election, but..." possible
[00:01:31] way,
[00:01:36] the worst here
[00:01:40] is the list of things that raise the question, is this the end of
[00:01:43] trumpism?
[00:01:49] one, the war against Iran leaves him as the big loser, he was unable to change the
[00:01:53] government or bring the Iranian nation to its knees. two US troops
[00:01:57] are leaving Iraq. This had already been agreed upon. under Biden, but Trump could have tried
[00:02:01] to
[00:02:01] of keep them there longer. Nevertheless, he has to
[00:02:04] of accept that the United States can no longer be everywhere.
[00:02:07] Three. He cannot bring down the price of gasoline or
[00:02:11] hydrocarbons, which are putting the American people under
[00:02:13] of tremendous pressure. For, obedience to Israel, the American
[00:02:17] people are denouncing the fact that their country is not sovereign.
[00:02:21] Five, because of his decisions and threats, which have brought neither peace, prosperity,
[00:02:25] nor victory, he has earned widespread rejection from millions of people both
[00:02:29] of inside and... side the United States side the United
[00:02:32] States. Six. The image of an egomanian
[00:02:36] of delivers nothing who lies and spreads
[00:02:38] misinformation. Seven. The
[00:02:41] vulgarity of wanting to seas and attack everything. Venezuela, Greenland,
[00:02:45] Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, the Straight of Homers, Iran, Canada,
[00:02:49] ate his
[00:02:49] popularity.
[00:02:54] The economist puts his net approval rating at minus 25
[00:02:58] of points. With all of this in mind. The question is, will trumpism be remembered as
[00:03:02] an era of glory or as a real
[00:03:04] failure?
[00:03:13] of of Dear friends, once again, I find myself surrounded by doctors, just in
[00:03:17] case I have a stroke while talking about Donald Trump. The problem
[00:03:20] is they're not medical doctors. Look, first I'm going to introduce you
[00:03:24] to Dr. Felipe Batista here in the studio, doctor of international
[00:03:28] relations from the met.
[00:03:42] of
[00:04:00] Where of do we start? Donald Trump once again says I'm going to
[00:04:04] annihilate Iran. It's not the first time he has said
[00:04:07] of it. The situation with the inflation in the United States. He comes out
[00:04:11] very aggressive against Mexico at the United Nations
[00:04:14] headquarters. We're going to analyze this issue and I'll start with you
[00:04:18] here in the studio. What are your impressions? Could everything that is
[00:04:22] building up around Trump, including the offer
[00:04:24] of of the $500, at some point lead us to the end of Donald Trump or
[00:04:28] at least the beginning. final de Donald Trump, el empiezo del
[00:04:32] of final. Sí, Rubén, este, gran pregunta, es importante pensar el
[00:04:36] contexto. It is important to consider the
[00:04:40] context the United States is going through as it heads toward the
[00:04:44] midterm elections, the halfway point
[00:04:46] of the presidential term on November 3, if I remember correctly, the US
[00:04:50] House of Representatives, the US legislature is going to be put to
[00:04:54] vote, and the poles give a strong probability that the Democratic
[00:04:57] Party, the opposition to Donald Trump. could win the majority,
[00:05:01] which could be very important political setback for Donald
[00:05:04] Trump. In that sense, President Donald Trump precisely when
[00:05:08] he gives his speech at the United Nations General Assembly,
[00:05:12] starts selling a whole series of victories that
[00:05:16] exist only in the imagination the republican party that
[00:05:20] they are going to annihilate Iran, that he has resolved eight
[00:05:24] wars, that he has now acquired Greenland and that he is going to put
[00:05:27] an end to drug trafficking,
[00:05:30] and that for example is also media blow aimed at
[00:05:34] selling his maga electorate, the idea that the United States is
[00:05:37] succeeding and that the United States is going to move forward,
[00:05:41] the reality how... over is different, ruben, there is
[00:05:44] inflation, the price of gasoline, the price of food, the price
[00:05:48] of fertilizers, all these are rising because of
[00:05:52] this war in west asia, and the United States remains
[00:05:56] very far from its objective, well what objective
[00:05:59] exactly, changing the government in Iran is still very far
[00:06:03] away, defeating Iran is also very far away, and let's
[00:06:06] say social unity within Iran is very strong, which puts
[00:06:10] the United States a context.
[00:06:42] any clown, any liar can manage to drive votes presumably in favor
[00:06:46] of his party simply by telling them a series of lies, while they're
[00:06:50] experiencing exactly what Felipe has just described,
[00:06:54] inflation, majority that supposedly is against the war with
[00:06:57] Iran, people resigning from within the military establishment,
[00:07:01] contradictions with the federal reserve, in
[00:07:04] short, how do you see it? cómo lo ves Pablo
[00:07:08] Barragán? bueno, de hecho el
[00:07:11] sistema.
[00:07:12] Republicans
[00:07:20] and democrats and the entire electoral political system
[00:07:24] is designed so that one the two wins the elections,
[00:07:28] see in the United States in the United
[00:07:31] States the best candidate within the best
[00:07:34] candidate within the party system. Instead,
[00:07:38] they always choose the one who best represents the interests the large.
[00:07:42] operations which are currently in trouble. The United
[00:07:46] States is already in decline, but this is very, very dangerous
[00:07:50] because since it can no longer or has been unable to defeat
[00:07:54] Russia, despite the full strength of NATO, Ukraine is being
[00:07:57] defeated. It has also been unable to compete economically with
[00:08:01] China. China is already on power with the United States and
[00:08:05] overtaking it. It couldn't defeat Iran last year, nor this
[00:08:09] year, despite having repeatedly said 10 times.
[00:08:20] The problem for us here is that he is focusing on what he considers his
[00:08:23] backyard, which is the American continent, and
[00:08:26] he has dealt some very hard blows. What was announced in this treaty
[00:08:30] with Greenland is very serious because he obtains two
[00:08:33] military bases and access to Greenland's rare earths.
[00:08:37] The blow he dealt to Venezuela and taking control of its oil are
[00:08:41] also very... serious, so he is focused on dominating the
[00:08:45] Americas in general, and that is why he attacked
[00:08:48] Mexico, calling it the epicenter of crime and drug
[00:08:52] trafficking, because he would
[00:08:54] like to have puppet government in Mexico, like the one they have in
[00:08:58] Argentina, and well, Trump is worried because his
[00:09:01] popularity has fallen to 32%, so he is
[00:09:05] kicking and flailing, basically trying to keep himself
[00:09:08] afloat. dando
[00:09:12] patadas de ahogado, yo conocí a un senador
[00:09:16] mexicano en paz,
[00:09:20] mexican senator, leave his name out, an old school PRI senator from
[00:09:24] the International Revolutionary party, who knew the United
[00:09:27] States very well, and he used to tell me, look,
[00:09:31] Ruben, we were over there, we lobbied, and one
[00:09:34] party would tell us, yes, yes, don't worry, we're going to do this and
[00:09:38] that and everything, and then when the time came,
[00:09:42] they would vote against it because the other party voted against it, they
[00:09:46] would pat us on the back and say, we lost, that was the
[00:09:50] game. and then that same senator told me one day,
[00:09:53] look, Ruben, in the future, either the United States will destroy the
[00:09:57] world or the world will destroy the United States. That really
[00:10:01] struck me at the time, but now suddenly I think good grief with
[00:10:05] this trogladite Donald Trump, and I say that
[00:10:08] respectfully, but with conviction, a true trogladite.
[00:10:12] to has absolutely moral footing whatsoever. I get the
[00:10:16] impression for him, morality is just a tree that grows
[00:10:20] berries. how do you see it? what does this Donald Trump mean for
[00:10:24] the world? because...
[00:10:55] can see the serious contradiction he is already creating between the
[00:10:58] United States and Canada and with Europe, but what is most
[00:11:02] serious is that he is backing the genocide in
[00:11:06] Palestine,
[00:11:07] that genocide is truly abhorent, there have already been more than
[00:11:10] 70,00 deaths despite the supposed cease fire last
[00:11:14] October, they continue bombing and killing
[00:11:17] Palestinians. Since the ceasefire, there have been more than
[00:11:21] 300 deaths and not only in Palestine.
[00:11:25] Iran, with
[00:11:34] blatant
[00:11:35] way possible, and top of that, while it claims
[00:11:38] to be negotiating,
[00:11:38] let's remember that both times it has attacked Iran, it was
[00:11:42] while it was and
[00:11:43] negotiating with tactics such as assassinating the
[00:11:47] Ayatollah and his family, kidnapping Maduro, in
[00:11:50] short, violating all international
[00:11:53] laws. im prisoned in New York, even
[00:11:57] though under international law, head of state has immunity,
[00:12:01] and yet he simply disregards all the laws. With
[00:12:04] Trump, we are no longer talking about the power of law, but the
[00:12:08] dictatorship of
[00:12:09] force.
[00:12:15] Well, the United States is a country has
[00:12:17] been a terrorist state, without a doubt, Israel, neeless
[00:12:21] to say, has done the same, they have recruited terrorists. for their
[00:12:25] own benefit, how do you see this? same subject,
[00:12:29] but adding this concept of terrorism, don't tell me that dropping
[00:12:33] the atomic bombs and hiroshima and nakazaki was not
[00:12:36] terrorism, please, there's still educated people who tell me it was
[00:12:40] done to end the second world war, well give them my
[00:12:44] blessing,
[00:12:48] yes ruben, it is very important to remember that following the September 11
[00:12:52] attacks, the United States 11 attacks, "the United States
[00:12:56] used this event to its advantage, international politics between
[00:13:00] friends and enemies. Whoever is against me is my
[00:13:03] enemy, or whoever is not with me is my enemy. From that
[00:13:07] point on, it shaped the entire US foreign policy
[00:13:10] around the fight against terrorism. We can see plan
[00:13:14] Colombia, we now see how any government ideologically
[00:13:18] distant from the United States is linked to drug trafficking, linked
[00:13:21] to terrorism. We also see how it links to..." issue of
[00:13:25] migration, migrants crossing the Mexican border into the United
[00:13:29] States are now also associated with this issue of
[00:13:33] drug trafficking in the four, are also considered
[00:13:36] terrorists or potential terrorists, and
[00:13:38] are sent without due process to prisons in El
[00:13:42] Salvador, so this US counter terrorism
[00:13:45] policy has to be viewed a global, regional and local
[00:13:49] scale, on the global scale it is used to achieve its political
[00:13:53] and military objectives in west. on the original scale, for
[00:13:56] example,
[00:13:57] it is used to position governments that are ideologically
[00:14:01] close to the United States, but that oppose or reject the presence
[00:14:05] of China, the hejamanic rival the United States, and on
[00:14:09] the local level, meaning within the United States itself,
[00:14:12] it is the fight against terrorism, identifying drug traffickers and
[00:14:16] migrants as one and the same group, right, and now they have
[00:14:20] also put anti-fascist groups into the same basket, labeling them
[00:14:24] as terrorists.
[00:14:55] are convinced that they are two sides the same
[00:14:58] coin. people think,
[00:15:00] for example, that things go better for us in Mexico,
[00:15:04] when the in
[00:15:04] democrats power, but I don't think that's the case, and ultimately, I think the
[00:15:08] solution lies with the American people, but as Clinton used to say,
[00:15:12] it's the economy, stupid, that's what Clinton used to say,
[00:15:15] so as long as they put money in people's pockets, so they
[00:15:19] can pay their debts, their cars, their homes, their
[00:15:23] healthcare, they become less. with what their government is doing around
[00:15:27] the world, how do you see this issue heading into the mid-term
[00:15:30] elections? or are we looking at the imminent end of
[00:15:34] trumpism
[00:15:35] while the united states continues and
[00:15:46] This system has two faces, the Democrats and the Republicans, but we
[00:15:50] should remember, for example, that the
[00:15:52] person who started building the wall
[00:15:54] was democrat Clinton, the president who deported the most Mexican immigrants
[00:15:58] was democrat Obama. You mentioned the crime of Hiroshima and
[00:16:01] Nagasaki, which claimed nearly 200,00 lives. That was
[00:16:05] democrat in 1961. was carried out in
[00:16:08] 1961 was carried out by democrat
[00:16:11] Kennedy, so thinking that the republicans are the bad guys
[00:16:14] and the democrats
[00:16:16] are the good guys simply makes no
[00:16:18] sense.
[00:16:37] that they can win the presidency and the democratic party can put forward
[00:16:41] someone more trustworthy who could negotiate a sease fire
[00:16:45] agreement with the Iranian government, however we would have to
[00:16:49] see how much influence this wing the democratic party which is
[00:16:52] socialist and is led by New York mayor Mamadani
[00:16:56] actually has, we would have to see how much traction it has and what kind
[00:17:00] of rhetoric they're putting forward while campaigning, but I'm
[00:17:04] pessimistic if the democratic party wins a majority in the...
[00:17:07] legislature, I would even dear say that Donald Trump's
[00:17:10] actions could become much more radical because he would have nothing
[00:17:14] left to lose. I'm thinking about Cuba, I'm thinking about Greenland,
[00:17:18] I'm thinking about Iran. once Donald Trump loses the
[00:17:21] legislature, his
[00:17:22] actions,
[00:17:28] bien, oye, hey, Pablo,
[00:17:32] I'm going to ask Felipe
[00:17:35] this first, and then I'd also like to hear your... opinion, regardless the
[00:17:39] fact that Donald Trump has repeatedly used Mexico for electoral
[00:17:43] purposes, making a series of statements against Mexico at different
[00:17:47] points throughout his political career, this time he did it before the
[00:17:51] United Nations General Assembly, and the camera men focused on
[00:17:54] Roberto Velasco, Mexican foreign minister, and Hector
[00:17:57] Vasconcelos, Mexico's ambassador to the UN. They looked
[00:18:01] extremely worried, didn't they? When Trump once again threatened
[00:18:04] Cuba, Cuba's response there was...
[00:18:08] extraordinary, we may agree with it or not, but it was
[00:18:11] extraordinary. I would have expected the Mexican foreign ministry to
[00:18:15] respond at the level the circumstances demanded, and with
[00:18:19] all du respect, not come out with the LGBT agenda
[00:18:23] as its priority issue, according to Roberto
[00:18:26] Velasco.
[00:18:37] electorate, he's campaigning just as he did in 2024, and
[00:18:41] he's trying to sell the idea that Mexico, or that we
[00:18:45] Mexicans are the enemies the United States. He is
[00:18:48] trying to link migration and drug trafficking is two threats that
[00:18:52] the United States most combat, and we Mexicans get caught in the
[00:18:56] middle. In that sense, I agree with you that the Mexican federal
[00:18:59] government should be somewhat firmer in rejecting these statements
[00:19:03] and as the Cuban delegation did, withdraw as an act of dignity.
[00:19:07] dignified reaction from any diplomatic
[00:19:10] representation, for her part, president
[00:19:14] said at the morning press conference that Mexico was being asked
[00:19:18] to take responsibility in the fight against drug trafficking, and that
[00:19:22] Mexico was assuming
[00:19:23] that responsibility, but that it was very difficult to have as a neighbor
[00:19:27] a country that drugs and produces enormous of drugs and produces
[00:19:31] enormous quantities of weapons, and that is the truth, on
[00:19:35] the other side the border, there is no... assumption of
[00:19:38] responsibility for consumption or for the production of weapons,
[00:19:42] most of which end up in the hands of criminal groups here in
[00:19:45] Mexico, so I agree with the president, but I would also
[00:19:49] like to take this opportunity to call on the federal
[00:19:52] government to recognize that this is an opportunity for Mexico to
[00:19:56] diversify not only its trade relations, but also its political
[00:20:00] relations with the world. I'm thinking about the bricks, I'm thinking about
[00:20:04] East Asia, I'm thinking about Central America, even on the political
[00:20:08] differences that may exist with different governments, but Mexico has to
[00:20:12] begin reducing its economic dependence on the United States. I was
[00:20:16] just reading an article in El pais saying that Donald Trump supported
[00:20:20] an initiative aimed at reducing the price of
[00:20:23] diesel in the United States by banning US diesel exports
[00:20:27] to Mexico. That would be very serious blow to the Mexican economy,
[00:20:30] because unfortunately the Mexican economy depends heavily on
[00:20:34] diesel imports from the United States. so once again this
[00:20:38] highlights the importance of concepts such as energy
[00:20:41] sovereignty, refining oil and building, refining oil and
[00:20:45] building refineries here in Mexico, so that Mexican oil can
[00:20:49] be...
[00:21:06] Yes, well basically this is the moment to defend our
[00:21:09] sovereignty, to organize ourselves, to develop sovereign
[00:21:13] economic policy, because without economic
[00:21:16] sovereignty there is no political sovereignty.
[00:21:20] the TMEC, the free trade agreement and base ourselves
[00:21:24] on domestic development, strengthening the state so that
[00:21:28] break with they can be investment. It is important to look at the issue of
[00:21:31] debt, which has grown enormously, it has now reached 20
[00:21:35] trillion pasos and the interest payments amount to
[00:21:38] 1.6 trillion. We need to suspend debt payments,
[00:21:42] audit the debt and renegotiated for the benefit the
[00:21:45] country. And on the other hand, tax reform is very
[00:21:49] very. Mexico is one the countries in the world that
[00:21:53] collects the least taxes, 16%
[00:21:56] compared with an OECD average of
[00:21:59] 34% of GDP, so
[00:22:03] Mexico needs a tax reform so that the state has more
[00:22:06] resources and so that the large corporations pay more. At
[00:22:10] present, they pay only average
[00:22:12] of 2.5%, and there should also be tax on the great
[00:22:16] fortunes that are growing like wildfire, and that must also be.
[00:22:20] held accountable to society, so deep economic measures are
[00:22:23] needed for Mexico to develop its sovereignty and stand
[00:22:27] strong in the face of this dangerous neighbor to the
[00:22:30] north. coincido con Pablo también le
[00:22:34] mando un saludo. I agree with Pablo and I also send him my regards, the
[00:22:38] Mexican government and Mexican society must face this challenge as
[00:22:42] an opportunity as well to talk about energy sovereignty, food
[00:22:46] sovereignty and also political sovereignty. We need to shake off Mexico.
[00:22:50] dependents on the United States and I strongly agree that
[00:22:53] tax reform has been necessary for several years a
[00:22:57] tax reform is urgently needed to make the large
[00:23:01] multinational corporations that come here to produce cheaply
[00:23:05] and pay extremely low wages pay their fair share rather than
[00:23:09] taking their profits back to their home countries so tax reform
[00:23:13] targeting those large pools of
[00:23:15] capital.
[00:23:20] Bautista, thank you very much, thank you for coming here to the studio
[00:23:24] despite the heavy traffic here in the capital the Mexican Republic. Thank you very
[00:23:28] much. And to all of you, my friends, I would very much like us to
[00:23:31] reflect on ourselves as Mexicans. This is not about
[00:23:35] saying that we should dismiss, reject or become enemies of what is
[00:23:39] happening in the United States from the standpoint of everyday
[00:23:42] life. I'm convinced that Americans are on the front lines of
[00:23:46] this very debacle, but many them have not realized.
[00:23:50] I repeat as long as they have enough to pay their debts, but
[00:23:54] ultimately what it is about, and I have not lost hope in
[00:23:57] this, is seeking the possibility of better world where
[00:24:01] each person can be the architect their own destiny while also
[00:24:05] embracing a sense of community and respect. I invite
[00:24:09] you to join me if you so wish on the next broadcast of
[00:24:13] Grengo.
[00:24:25] a Bowing 737 max plunges more than
[00:24:28] 14,00 ft in less than a minute, it reportedly reaches
[00:24:32] almost mark.96, its rutter is said to
[00:24:36] be ripped off and then somehow the aircraft keeps
[00:24:40] flying for another hour, according to the story pushed after
[00:24:44] fly-dobe flight fc 1073,
[00:24:47] passenger described as a plumber. "who had watched aviation
[00:24:51] disaster documentaries, aviation disaster documentaries, yes, you heard it
[00:24:55] right, helped pull the aircraft out the dive. two former
[00:24:58] Israeli military personnel were also reportedly among the
[00:25:02] passengers who subdued the alleged attacker. it sounds
[00:25:06] like a movie plot, doesn't it? the official story says an Omani
[00:25:10] co-pilot attacked the captain inside the cockpit and
[00:25:13] tried to take control the aircraft, but the details don't stay still
[00:25:17] early reports described night..." and a stabbing, the
[00:25:21] later UAE account said the weapon was the aircraft's
[00:25:25] crash x. The alleged Omani co-pilot himself
[00:25:28] remained without an independently verificable public
[00:25:32] identity or detailed background. Meanwhile, the Indian
[00:25:35] captain Smith Machar was publicly identified and
[00:25:39] praised by Netanyahu and Donald Trump. The pilot became a public
[00:25:43] hero, the other remained a largely anonymous figure in the
[00:25:46] narrative, think. And the other is the... prit
[00:25:50] then comes physics: the aircraft was reportedly subjected to
[00:25:54] forces of around 3G despite the 73 max being
[00:25:58] rated for 2.5 positive g, it allegedly suffered serious rutter.
[00:26:02] damage, yet flew for approximately 68 minutes before
[00:26:06] landing safely
[00:26:08] in when Tel Aviv was nearer
[00:26:10] as when Tel Aviv was nearer as the airplane was in Jordanian
[00:26:13] airspace. Anyways, passengers supposedly managed to
[00:26:17] recover the aircraft during the dive. Former pilots have expressed
[00:26:21] amazement that the aircraft did not come apart. So how much the story
[00:26:25] survives technical scrutiny? Um, coming
[00:26:28] back. Then the geopolitical explanation. Iran. Netan
[00:26:32] Yahu initially said it was too early to say whether Iran was involved. Trump
[00:26:36] said Iran might be involved while acknowledging the matter was still being
[00:26:39] investigated, but no public evidence establishing an Iranian
[00:26:43] role was produced, yet the Iranian connection quickly became central to the
[00:26:47] story and now comes a detail that changes the political
[00:26:51] context. On September 29th, less than 24 hours before
[00:26:55] the FZ-107-3 incident, Netanyahu released a
[00:26:58] video from Telnof Air Force Base warning that Israel.
[00:27:02] enemies had indications they would attempt to attack the
[00:27:06] country ahead the October 27th election. He gave
[00:27:10] no specific details. The next day a supposed terror
[00:27:13] attack takes place aboard a flight bound for Tel Aviv.
[00:27:17] Netanyahu's warning suddenly looked prophetic. Daniel
[00:27:21] Livy, a former Israeli regime advisor, argued that the
[00:27:24] incident could push politically damaging issues out the
[00:27:28] headlines and replace them with narrative focus on Iran.
[00:27:31] Actually, the... Chronology goes back further. Three days before the flight
[00:27:35] on September 27th, Netanyahu made an unscheduled visit
[00:27:39] to Dubai and met UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayaidan
[00:27:43] alongside senior military and Intelligence officials, source
[00:27:47] told press TV that the operation was discussed and
[00:27:51] finalized during that visit to create an Iranian connection and
[00:27:55] generate a pretext for renewed confrontation with Tehran.
[00:27:58] The operation was also intended to draw Trump into a another
[00:28:02] confrontation with Iran and help Netanyahu politically ahead the
[00:28:06] election. You might be thinking that the conflicting accounts suggest false
[00:28:10] flag, not something new. You know the history of false flags. For
[00:28:14] FZ-1073, it seems the evidence is being fitted into
[00:28:18] a story that had already been written, because the conclusions are
[00:28:22] arriving before the
[00:28:23] proof.
[00:29:55] the sour stop headlines: iran slams Trump's
[00:29:59] claim about an Iranian attack on the American soil saying US leaders
[00:30:03] conjure up an imaginary enemy to frighten their own
[00:30:06] people. Despite
[00:30:10] earlier denials, the Pentagon admits that the number of troops killed in the
[00:30:13] aggression against Iran is higher than previously reported, with
[00:30:17] nearly 900 entries.
[00:30:21] And finally, new poll shows the French president's popularity has
[00:30:25] fallen to the lowest level since 2017, I made violent
[00:30:29] protests and cost of living concerns.
