00:00:00This is how we begin gringo, empezamos
00:00:02gringo,
00:00:09we've been talking
00:00:10of about this, we won the first world war,
00:00:15of we won the second world war, is he mexican america that is offended
00:00:21of in by
00:00:28sin duda muy conocida.
00:00:29"We're all
00:00:31undoubtedly familiar with
00:00:33of Churchill's famous statement that the difference between a politician and a
00:00:36statesman is that a politician is thinking about the next
00:00:40election while a true statesman is thinking about the next
00:00:44generation. It is obvious that Trump is thinking about the next
00:00:48midterm election, but in
00:00:49the worst possible
00:00:50way.
00:00:59Here is the list." things that raise the question, is this the end of
00:01:02trumpism?
00:01:08one, the war against Iran leaves him as the big loser, he was unable to change
00:01:12the government or bring the Iranian nation to its knees. two, US
00:01:16troops are leaving Iraq. This had already been agreed upon under Biden, but Trump could
00:01:20have tried to keep
00:01:21of them there longer. Nevertheless, he has to accept that the United States can no
00:01:25longer be everywhere. Three, he cannot bring
00:01:28down the price of gas. or hydrocarbons, which are putting the American people
00:01:32of under tremendous pressure, for obedience to Israel, the American
00:01:36people are denouncing the fact that their country is not sovereign.
00:01:40Five, because of his decisions and threats, which have brought neither peace, prosperity nor
00:01:44victory, he has earned widespread rejection from millions of people both
00:01:48of inside and outside the United States. Six. The image
00:01:52of an egomaniac,
00:01:53a dictator who promises everything and
00:01:55of delivers nothing, who lies and spreads
00:01:57misinformation. Seven, the
00:02:01vulgarity of wanting to sease and attack everything, Venezuela, Greenland,
00:02:04Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, the Straight of Homers, Iran, Canada,
00:02:08ate his
00:02:09popularity.
00:02:13The economist puts his net approval rating at minus 25
00:02:16points.
00:02:18of With all of this in mind, the question is, will Trumpism be remembered as an
00:02:22era of glory or as a real
00:02:23failure.
00:02:31Dear friends, once
00:02:32of again I find myself surrounded by doctors, just in case
00:02:36I have a stroke while talking about Donald Trump, the problem
00:02:40is they're not medical doctors. Look, first I'm going to introduce
00:02:43you, look, first I'm going to introduce you to Dr. Felipe Baptista
00:02:47here in relations from the
00:02:49a Metropolitan autonomous university, thank you for joining us here in
00:02:53the studio, gracias por venir
00:02:56aquí.
00:03:00we have
00:03:01of doctor Pablogan, among other things is an
00:03:05urban planner. anyway, Pablo, thank you very much for accepting
00:03:09the invitation. thank you for the
00:03:11invitation.
00:03:15well, let's get into the subject and
00:03:18of honestly, it scares me. where do we start? donald
00:03:21trump once again says i'm going to
00:03:23in aniolate Iran. it's not the first time he has said it, the situation
00:03:27with the inflation in the United States. comes out very
00:03:31aggressive against Mexico at the United Nations headquarters.
00:03:35We're going to analyze this issue and I'll start with you here in the
00:03:38studio. What are your impressions? Could everything
00:03:41that is building up around Trump, including the offer
00:03:44of the $500, at some point lead us to the end of Donald
00:03:47Trump, or at least the beginning
00:03:52of of the end? Sí, Rubén, gran pregunta.
00:03:56Yes, Ruben, this is a great question.
00:03:58It is important to consider the context. the United States is going
00:04:01through as it heads toward the midterm elections, the halfway point
00:04:05of the presidential term on November 3 if I remember correctly, the US
00:04:09House of Representatives, the US legislature is going to be put to
00:04:13vote and the poles give a strong
00:04:15of probability that the Democratic Party, the opposition to Donald
00:04:18Trump could win the majority, which could be very important
00:04:22political setback for Donald Trump, in that sense
00:04:26president
00:04:26of Donald Trump precisely when he gives his speech at the United nation's
00:04:30general assembly starts selling a whole series of
00:04:34victories that exist only in the imagination
00:04:37of the republican party, that they are going to annihilate Iran, that he
00:04:41has resolved eight wars, that he has now acquired
00:04:45Greenland, and that he's going to put an end to drug
00:04:48trafficking, and that for example, is also media blow
00:04:52aimed at selling his maga electorate, the idea that the United
00:04:56States is succeeding and that the
00:04:58in United States is going to move. of
00:05:01gasoline, the price
00:05:02of food, the price
00:05:07the price of fertilizers, all
00:05:09of these are rising because of this war. in west
00:05:13Asia and the United States remains very far from its
00:05:16objective. well, what objective exactly? changing the
00:05:20government in Iran is still very far away, defeating Iran
00:05:24is also very far away, and let's say social unity within
00:05:28Iran is very strong, which puts the United States a context
00:05:32of uncertainty and very far from achieving its
00:05:35political, military and economic objectives there in the
00:05:39straight of Homus.
00:05:52says if all of this has electoral overtones that doesn't
00:05:56speak well of american society does it? it doesn't speak well of it
00:06:00because then any clown any liar can manage to drive votes
00:06:04presumably in favor of his party simply by telling them his
00:06:08party simply by telling them a series of lies while their experience
00:06:12just described inflation, majority that supposedly is
00:06:16against the war with Iran, people resigning from within the military
00:06:19establishment.
00:06:37two-party republicans
00:06:39there cartel, and is democrats and the entire electoral. political
00:06:43system is designed so that one the two wins the
00:06:46elections, there would need to be genuine democracy in the
00:06:50united states for the people to actually
00:06:52be able to choose the best candidate within the party
00:06:55system. instead, they always choose the one who best
00:06:59represents the interests the large corporations which are
00:07:03currently in trouble. the united states is already
00:07:07in decline, but this is very very dangerous because since it can no
00:07:10longer or has been unable.
00:07:13to defeat Russia, despite the full strength of NATO, Ukraine is
00:07:16being defeated. It has also been unable to compete economically with
00:07:20China. China is already on power with the United States and
00:07:24overtaking it. It couldn't defeat Iran last year, nor this
00:07:28year, despite having repeatedly said 10 times already, that
00:07:32they had won the war, and despite yesterday's threats, the
00:07:36fact is that it cannot defeat Iran. The problem for us
00:07:40here is that he is focusing on what he considers. backyard, which is the
00:07:44American continent, and he has dealt some very hard blows. What
00:07:48was announced in this treaty with Greenland, is very serious because
00:07:52he obtains two military bases and access to Greenland's rare
00:07:55earths. The blow he dealt to Venezuela, and taking control
00:07:59of its oil, are also very serious. So he has
00:08:03focused on dominating the Americas in general, and that is why he
00:08:07attacked Mexico, calling it the epicenter of crime
00:08:11and drug trafficking. because he would like
00:08:13to have puppet government in Mexico like the one they have in
00:08:17Argentina, and well Trump is worried because his
00:08:21popularity has fallen to 32%, so
00:08:24he is kicking and flailing, basically trying
00:08:27to keep himself a
00:08:31float. Yo conocí a un
00:08:35senador mexicano, I knew a Mexican senator, may he rest in
00:08:39peace and I'll leave his name out, an old school PRI.
00:08:42senator from the international revolutionary party who knew the
00:08:46united states very well and he used to tell me, look
00:08:50ruben, we were over there, we lobbied, and one
00:08:54party would tell us, yes, yes, don't worry, we're going to do this and
00:08:58that, and everything, and then when the time came,
00:09:02they would vote against it, because the other party voted against it, they
00:09:05would pat us on the back and say, we lost, that was the
00:09:09game, and then that same senator told me what?
00:09:12Look, Ruben, in the future, either the United States
00:09:16will destroy the world or the world will destroy the United
00:09:19States, that really struck me at the time, but now suddenly I think
00:09:23good grief with this trogladite Donald Trump, and I
00:09:27say that respectfully, but with conviction, a true
00:09:31trogladite to has absolutely moral footing
00:09:34whatsoever. I get the impression, for him, morality is just a
00:09:38tree that grows berries. How do you see it, what is this Donald?
00:09:42Trump mean for the world, because while
00:09:44it is true that he has support, he is a
00:09:48threat,
00:09:49i have absolutely no doubt about that, what do you
00:09:51think?
00:09:53efectivamente,
00:09:57indeed, he respects neither domestic nor
00:10:01international law, he himself said that he only respects his
00:10:05own morality, and let's look
00:10:07at what kind of morality Donald Trump has, he is attacking
00:10:11his own allies. for example, we can see the
00:10:15serious contradiction he is already creating between the United States
00:10:18and Canada, serious is that he is backing,
00:10:22serious is that he is backing the genocide. in
00:10:25Palestine, that genocide is truly abhorent. There
00:10:29have already been more than 70,000 deaths despite the supposed
00:10:33ceasefire last October. They continue bombing and killing
00:10:36Palestinians. Since the ceasefire, there have been more than
00:10:40300 deaths and not only in Palestine, but in
00:10:44Lebanon and throughout West Asia in general. So this is
00:10:48a government in decline that is using violence in the most
00:10:51cynical and blatant way possible. And top of.
00:10:55that while it claims to be negotiating, let's remember that both
00:10:59times it has attacked Iran, it was while it was negotiating with
00:11:03Iran, and with tactics such as assassinating the
00:11:06Ayatollah and his family, kidnapping Maduro, in
00:11:10short, violating all international laws, he has
00:11:13Maduro imprisoned in New York, even though under international
00:11:17law, head of state has immunity, and yet he simply
00:11:21disregards all the laws, with Trump we are no longer.
00:11:55Zaki was not terrorism, please, there's still educated people who
00:11:59tell me it was done to end the second world war. Well, I give
00:12:03them my
00:12:03blessing.
00:12:08Yes, Ruben, it is very important to remember that following the September 11
00:12:11attacks, the United States used this event to its advantage
00:12:15to, let's say, reshape international politics between
00:12:19friends and enemies. Whoever is against me is my
00:12:23enemy, or whoever is not with me. is my enemy, from that
00:12:26point on, it shaped the entire US foreign policy
00:12:30around the fight against terrorism. we can see plan
00:12:33colombia, we now see how any government ideologically
00:12:37distant from the United States is linked to drug trafficking, linked
00:12:41to terrorism. we also see how it links the issue of
00:12:44migration, migrants crossing the Mexican border into the United
00:12:48States are now also associated with this issue of
00:12:52drug trafficking in the four or also... considered
00:12:55terrorists or potential terrorists and are sent without due
00:12:59process to prisons in El Salvador, so this
00:13:03US counter terrorism policy has to be viewed a
00:13:07global, regional and local scale, on the global scale it is
00:13:11used to achieve its political and military objectives in west Asia,
00:13:14on the original scale, for example, it is used to position
00:13:18governments that are ideologically close to the United
00:13:22States, but that oppose or reject the presence of...
00:13:25rival the united
00:13:28the hegemanic states and on the local level, meaning within the united states
00:13:31itself, it is the fight against terrorism, identifying drug
00:13:35traffickers and migrants as one and the same group, right? and
00:13:39now they have also put anti-fascist groups into the same basket,
00:13:42labeling them as terrorist social groups, when they are actually social
00:13:46movements that reject the presence of fascism in the US
00:13:50government, so it is very delicate
00:13:52issue.
00:13:54Donald
00:14:04Trump is offering and this Donald Trump is offering and this is a
00:14:08country that increasingly resembles a banana republic. Let's
00:14:12suppose the democrats win. I'm also convinced that they are
00:14:16two sides the same coin. People think for example that
00:14:20things go better for us in Mexico when the democrats
00:14:24are in power, but I don't think that's
00:14:25the case, and ultimately, I think the solution lies
00:14:28with the American people, but as Clinton used to say, it's the economy
00:14:32stupid, that's what Clinton is to say, so as long
00:14:36as they put money in people's pockets so they can pay their
00:14:39debts, their cars, their homes, their healthcare, they become
00:14:43less concerned with what their government is doing around the world, how do you see
00:14:47this issue heading into the midterm elections, or are we
00:14:51looking at the imminent end of Trumpism while the United
00:15:26democrat Truman and the invasion
00:15:27of Cuba in 1961 was carried out by democrat
00:15:30Kennedy, so thinking that the Republicans are the bad guys
00:15:34and
00:15:35the democrats are the good guys.
00:15:47Well it's another side the same coin, let's say that Iran's hope, for
00:15:50example is that the democrats win majority in the house,
00:15:54and in that sense that in two years they can win the presidency
00:15:58and the democratic party can put forward someone more
00:16:01trustworthy to could negotiate a sease fire agreement with the
00:16:05Iranian government. we would have to see how much
00:16:09influence this wing the democratic party, which is socialist
00:16:13and is let by New York mayor Mamadani actually has. We
00:16:17would have to see how much traction it has and what kind of rhetoric they're
00:16:21putting forward while campaigning, but I am pessimistic, if the
00:16:24Democratic Party wins a majority in the US legislature, I would even
00:16:28dear say that Donald Trump's actions could become much more
00:16:32radical because he would have nothing left to lose. I'm thinking about
00:16:36Cuba, I'm thinking about... Greenland, I'm thinking about Iran. Once
00:16:40Donald Trump loses the legislature, his actions could become even more
00:16:43radical
00:16:46sus
00:16:50acciones sean incluso más radicales.
00:16:54This first, and then I'd also like to hear your opinion,
00:16:58regardless the fact that Donald Trump has repeatedly used Mexico for
00:17:02electoral purposes, making a series of statements against Mexico at
00:17:06different points throughout. his political career, this time he did it
00:17:10before the United Nations General Assembly, and the cameraman focused on
00:17:14Roberto Velasco, Mexican foreign minister, and Hector
00:17:17Vasconcelos, Mexico's ambassador to the UN. They looked
00:17:20extremely worried, didn't they? When Trump once again threat there, was
00:17:24excellent, extraordinary, was excellent, extraordinary. We may
00:17:28agree with it or not, but it was extraordinary. I
00:17:32would have expected the Mexican foreign ministry to respond at the level the
00:17:36circumstances.
00:18:07"he is trying to link migration and drug trafficking
00:18:11is two threats that the United States must combat, and we
00:18:14Mexicans get caught in the middle. In that sense, I agree with you that the
00:18:18Mexican federal government should be somewhat firmer in
00:18:21rejecting these statements and as the Cuban delegation did withdraw
00:18:25as an act of dignity, dignified reaction from any
00:18:29diplomatic representation. For her part, President Shane
00:18:33Baum said at the morning press conference that Mexico was
00:18:36being..." to take responsibility in the fight against drug
00:18:40trafficking and that Mexico was assuming that responsibility, but
00:18:44that it was very difficult to have as a neighbor a country that consumes
00:18:48enormous amounts of drugs and produces enormous
00:18:51quantities of weapons, and that is the truth, on the other side
00:18:55the border, there is no assumption of responsibility for
00:18:59consumption or for the production of weapons, most of which end up in
00:19:03the hands of criminal groups here in Mexico, so I agree with the
00:19:06president, but I would also like to take this opportunity
00:19:10to call on the federal government to recognize that this is an
00:19:14opportunity for Mexico to diversify not only its trade
00:19:17relations but also its political relations with the world. I'm
00:19:21thinking about the bricks, I'm thinking about East Asia, I'm thinking about
00:19:25Central America even beyond the political differences that may exist
00:19:29with different governments, but Mexico has to begin reducing its economic
00:19:33dependence on the United States. I was just reading an article in El
00:19:37Pai. saying that an article in el pai saying that Donald Trump
00:19:40supported an initiative aimed at reducing the states by
00:19:44banning US diesel exports the states by banning US diesel exports to
00:19:48Mexico. That would be a very because unfortunately the Mexican
00:19:51economy depends heavily on diesel imports from the
00:19:55United States. So once again this highlights the importance of
00:19:59concepts such as energy sovereignty, refining oil and
00:20:03building refineries here in Mexico so that Mexican Oil
00:20:07can be
00:20:37political sovereignty, we need to break with the TMEC, the free
00:20:41trade agreement and base ourselves on domestic development,
00:20:45strengthening the state so that there can be investment. It is
00:20:49important to look at the issue of debt, which has grown
00:20:52enormously, it has now reached 20 trillion pesos, and
00:20:56the interest payments amount to 1.6 trillion. we need to
00:21:00suspend debt payments, audit the debt and renegotiate it
00:21:04for the benefit the country. and on the other hand, tax
00:21:08reform is very, very important. Mexico is one the
00:21:11countries in the world that collects the least taxes,
00:21:1516% compared with an OECD average of
00:21:1934%. percent of GDP, so Mexico needs a
00:21:23tax reform so that the state has more resources and so that
00:21:27the large corporations pay more. At present, they pay only
00:21:31average of 2.5%, and there should also be tax
00:21:35on the great fortunes that are growing like wildfire, and that must
00:21:39also be held accountable to society, so deep economic
00:21:42measures are needed for Mexico to develop its
00:21:45sovereignty and stand strong in the face of this dangerous
00:21:49neighbor.
00:21:58The Mexican government and Mexican society must face this challenge as
00:22:02an opportunity as well to talk about energy sovereignty, food
00:22:05sovereignty and also political sovereignty. We need to shake off
00:22:09Mexico's dependence on the United States and I strongly
00:22:12agree that tax reform has been necessary for several
00:22:16years, tax reform is urgently needed to... make the
00:22:20large multinational corporations that come here to produce
00:22:24cheaply and pay extremely low wages, pay their fair
00:22:27share rather than taking their profits back to their home countries,
00:22:31so tax reform targeting those large pools of
00:22:34capital,
00:22:40thank you very much, thank you for coming here to the studio despite the
00:22:44heavy traffic here in the capital the Mexican Republic, thank you very much,
00:22:48and to all of you, my friends, I would... very much like us to reflect
00:22:52on ourselves as Mexicans. This is not about saying that we
00:22:56should dismiss, reject or become enemies of what is happening in the
00:22:59United States from the standpoint of everyday life. I'm
00:23:03convinced that Americans are on the frontlines of this very
00:23:06debocle, but many them have not realized it. I repeat,
00:23:10as long as they have enough to pay their debts, but ultimately, what it
00:23:14is about, and I have not lost hope in this, is seeking
00:23:18the possibility of better world. where each person can be the
00:23:22architect their own destiny while also embracing a sense of
00:23:26community and respect. I invite you to join me if you
00:23:29so wish on the next
00:23:31broadcast
00:23:44of bombs stop falling, casualty figures are tallied,
00:23:48names are added to list. Numbers cannot measure the lives
00:23:52that unravel after the explosions. Wars count those
00:23:55killed by missiles. They rarely count those who survived
00:23:59them and may later die of grief. Yes, you heard that
00:24:03right, grief. 31-year-old say
00:24:07became one of those. In the early hours of March 26, a
00:24:11US Israel strike reduced her family home a
00:24:15neighborhood to rubble. Her husband, local football coach
00:24:18Hussein Maliki. and their two young sons, age five
00:24:22and three were killed. around them, nine homes were destroyed and
00:24:2624 people died from the US Israely attack. elham
00:24:30survived. for seven hours, rescuers searched through
00:24:33concrete and twisted steel before pulling her from beneath the
00:24:37debris. the fallen sofa had shielded her head from the
00:24:41collapsing building, but her injuries were severe. her
00:24:44greatest wounds, however, were invisible. weeks later, a video
00:24:48of at home standing, on the ruins of her home spread across
00:24:52Iran. In her hands was hundred node rescued from the
00:24:56rubble, one her young son had written before the
00:24:59attack. As she read it, her voice faltered. Around
00:25:03her lay the remains the life she had built. Her
00:25:07father says that after losing her husband, her children
00:25:11and her home, she was never the same. She withdrew
00:25:15from the world, spoke constantly of her family and
00:25:19struggled to be. even ordinary sounds after more than
00:25:22two months of overwhelming grief after losing her family in
00:25:26US Israely attack, she suffered fatal stroke and
00:25:30died. her story speaks to a quieter taller war of
00:25:34survivors who carry the destruction with them
00:25:37long after the dost settles. it also reflects a
00:25:41wider pattern of us Israeli aggression across the
00:25:44region that has left behind a deeper tall not only a
00:25:48single moment of impact. But in the lasting human
00:25:51consequences that
00:25:53follow.

00:26:15here, I wouldn't hold my breath

00:26:28At the cradle of Western Civilization, US Secretary of State
00:26:31Mark. Rubio tells a familiar story: Persians
00:26:35as villains, Athenians as heroes, but is that
00:26:39history or just Washington's preferred
00:26:41vision? Persians plundered the temples,
00:26:45they burned the shrines, they raised the acropolis to the ground. Case
00:26:49closed, not so fast, history has habit of
00:26:53talking back.
00:26:56Alexander, he had great respect for the Persian culture, a little
00:27:00inconvenient for narrative that reduce. is Persia to an army of
00:27:04Barbarians and Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone has
00:27:08message for those lecturing the world its past. I think westerners
00:27:12don't understand completely the history of Iran and
00:27:15Persia. I would suggest this book is is a great place to
00:27:19start.
00:27:26Dictate the narrative, but history as outlasted empires
00:27:29before, and it has a warning for those... can rewrite it, you
00:27:33cannot change history, you'll be defeated by the forces of history,
00:27:37which are inevitable, and Americans seem to believe that they can
00:27:41change that. this is insanity, this is, it defeats us every
00:27:44time.
