Chapter 1: What did Claudia Scheinbaum say about Donald Trump's statements on Mexico?

0.109 - 28.366 Ben Meiselas

Fierce, powerful, popular, everything that Donald Trump isn't, that's Mexico's President Claudia Scheinbaum. Let me share with you the strong message that she delivered, that she will be going after American companies or anybody who is aiding and abetting the problems that are being caused in Mexico. She's standing up to Donald Trump's defamatory statements about Mexico.

in quintessential Claudia Scheinbaum fashion. Play this clip.

Chapter 2: How is Mexico addressing US-based gun manufacturers?

34.312 - 72.209 Claudia Sheinbaum

Mexico has an international lawsuit against gun manufacturers and distributors in the United States. If they were to decree to organize crime groups as terrorists, Well, we would have to expand the lawsuit in the United States. Because then, as was already recognized, the United States Department of Justice itself, that 74% of the weapons of criminal groups come from the United States.

0

73.47 - 92.441 Claudia Sheinbaum

So then, how do the manufacturers and distributors stand regarding the decree? Maybe, I don't know. The lawyers are looking into it, but they could be accomplices. What we will never accept, is interference, interventionism. And we will always defend our sovereignty.

0

92.867 - 110.959 Ben Meiselas

Now, it should be noted as well that President Claudia Scheinbaum has about an 80% approval rating, something that Donald Trump wished that he had. She's been standing up to Donald Trump at every step of the way. Here she is earlier in the week as well. That last clip I showed you was end of the week.

0

111.279 - 122.467 Ben Meiselas

This was a little bit earlier in the week where she talks about Donald Trump's ridiculous premises of renaming the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of America. And she goes, hey, Google,

Chapter 3: What is Mexico's stance on the Gulf of Mexico naming issue?

123.287 - 146.613 Claudia Sheinbaum

you want to do that guess what we're a sovereign nation as well we'll come after you google she basically says here watch this not even president trump is proposing that the entire gulf of mexico be called the gulf of america but only its continental shelf first let me thank the encyclopedia britannica because indeed it is the gulf of mexico now with whom we do have a dispute at the moment is with google

0

147.153 - 162.165 Claudia Sheinbaum

Where in the United States it will show Gulf of America and in other places Gulf of Mexico and in other places both Gulf of Mexico and Gulf of America. But they are not correct. Google is wrong. The decree was given again and they were informed of the international norms again.

0

163.385 - 185.365 Claudia Sheinbaum

If they keep insisting, we are also considering even a lawsuit because they are even naming over the Mexican territory, which is our continental shelf. What we are telling Google is to review the decree issued by the White House. It does not refer to the entire Gulf, but to the continental shelf. But let's hope they do a review.

185.765 - 191.487 Claudia Sheinbaum

It is important that private companies dedicated to information provide correct information.

Chapter 4: How is Mexico responding to US drug cartel accusations?

192.367 - 217.521 Ben Meiselas

As The Guardian reports, Mexican president blasts the United States for harboring drug cartels. She's saying, look, Donald, you're coming after us. We're coming after you. The lifeblood of cartels, which you want to label terrorist organizations, are your weapons that are getting into the United States. And also, it is your people who are consuming the fentanyl.

0

217.561 - 238.114 Ben Meiselas

It is Americans who are bringing the fentanyl abroad. So if you want to come after us, then you're basically coming after yourself. So you come after Mexico? Well, then we'll go after the gun manufacturers. Here's what she goes. She goes, quote, there is organized crime in the United States and there are American people who come to Mexico with these illegal activities.

0

238.594 - 265.994 Ben Meiselas

She goes on to say, otherwise, who would distribute fentanyl in the cities of the United States? She goes, it's the Americans who are fueling this. So don't blame it on us, she says. Her comments follow a report published on Monday, which showed that arrest of U.S. citizens for offenses related to organized crime had increased by more than 450 percent during the tenure of her predecessor, Obrador.

0

266.915 - 290.504 Ben Meiselas

Scheinbaum called on Washington not just to help crack down on cartels in Mexico, but for the United States to do its job in the US to make the arrests that need to be made in order to halt the trafficking of drugs in its own country, she says. And what I like about this is she's going on the offense here, and she's not just allowing Donald Trump to control the narrative.

Chapter 5: What actions is Mexico considering against American gun manufacturers?

291.084 - 318.252 Ben Meiselas

She also says, okay, let's take a look at some of the entities that we will sue. She goes, a lot of the guns are coming in from American gun manufacturers. So why don't we go after and sue Smith & Wesson, Beretta? Why don't we sue Colt Manufacturing Company? Maybe Mexico takes action against these American gun manufacturers. If you want to come after us, two can play at that game.

441.195 - 458.044 Ben Meiselas

It's not just retaliatory tariffs as a threat in response to Trump's tariffs. It's Canadians are saying, OK, you want to come after us. We're not going to visit the United States. See what happens when we boycott your goods and your groceries and your products and your stores.

0

458.724 - 479.301 Ben Meiselas

See what happens when we don't travel to the United States and we contribute $22 billion to the United States in tourism alone. We'll crash that and then we'll help crash your economy if you're going to keep saying we should be the 51st state. People are fighting back. Countries are fighting back in different ways. And here we see Claudia Scheinbaum saying, okay,

Chapter 7: How are countries responding to Trump's tariffs?

479.901 - 503.906 Ben Meiselas

You're labeling Mexico with all of these horrific labels? Okay, well, guess where those guns come from? Guess where the fentanyl problem really is? We've showed you some of these clips before of Claudia Scheinbaum standing up for the sovereignty of other nearby countries like Panama. Here she is talking about stop saying that you want to conquer Panama. Belongs to the Panamanians here.

0

503.946 - 504.367 Ben Meiselas

Watch this.

0

513.194 - 521.762 Unknown Speaker

who came out very quickly to say the Panama Canal is for Panamanians. And indeed, the Panama Canal is for Panamanians.

0

529.465 - 550.731 Ben Meiselas

And here's Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum clapping back at Donald Trump from using a map from, and she uses a map from 1607 to say, if we really want to understand your history, Donald, then you should know that actually the United States belongs to Mexico. Remember when I showed you this clip? At every step of the way, she's been going on the offense. Play this clip.

0

550.911 - 562.436 Unknown Speaker

Obviously, Gulf of Mexico is a name recognized by the United Nations. It's an organization of the United Nations, but the next question is, why don't we call it Mexican America?

562.877 - 584.256 Unknown Speaker

It sounds nice, doesn't it? Right. Since 1607, the Apatzingan Constitution referred to it as Mexican America. So let's call it Mexican America. It sounds nice, doesn't it?

586.658 - 613.76 Unknown Speaker

And Gulf of Mexico, well, you see since 1607, and it's also recognized internationally. Well, historically speaking, because as you might know, I know they're going to ask me. I think that yesterday, President Trump They misinformed President Trump, with all due respect, because I believe they told him that Felipe Calderon and Garcia Luna were still in power in Mexico.

614.081 - 636.085 Ben Meiselas

And her going on the offense started right after the election. As soon as Donald Trump started using the anti-Mexico rhetoric, gets you a bam. She went right into it. She said, okay, you want to go after us? Guess what? Your auto manufacturers are in Mexico. You want to talk about the big American auto companies? Their factories are right here in Tijuana and elsewhere.

636.405 - 658.195 Ben Meiselas

So you tariff us, you're tariffing yourself, idiot. Basically what she said. And by the way, You are the one who negotiated the trade deal between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. The USMCA, United States, Mexico, Canada agreement, which followed NAFTA, which you said you didn't like. You said the USMCA is so big, bigly, beautiful. That was your deal.
