YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Trump administration is planning to spend somewhere between $20 million and $50 million on a new PR blitz to repair the broken image of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Noem has been targeted by just about everyone for mockery, and now the administration thinks that they can spend their way out of this mess. This comes at the same time that the federal government tells us we have to cut out waste, fraud, and abuse, and there’s nothing more wasteful than spending tens of millions on making Kristi Noem look a little better. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Not happy with simply deploying US troops on US soil. The Trump administration has decided that we probably want the whole North American continent at this point to see US troops marching down their streets. You know, because it's worked so well in DC and it worked so well in la. So the Trump administration has given the Pentagon the green light to go ahead and send US troops into Mexico and other Latin American countries to fight the drug cartels. Now, this is not authorize the Pentagon to draft plans to do this. According to the report, the plans have already been drafted. This is the green light. Go ahead with your plans. So the Trump administration, according to these reports, is on the cusp of sending US military personnel, US troops, boots on the ground to the country, right across the border, right geographically tied with Canada for our literally closest ally, a country that Donald Trump and his allies have been threatening to invade since before he even got sworn in. Again, Donald Trump has been teasing since at least January, and Marjorie Taylor Greene has been pushing for years now to send the military into Mexico to somehow take out the drug cartels. You know, because we got a problem with drugs.
Most of the drugs, by the way, that come into this country, are not coming across the Mexican border. They're not coming from Mexico at all. They come in through the ports, the ships. That's where most of it comes in. But you know, facts don't matter to this administration. After all, we are dealing with an administration that's about to hire a guy to make new statistics, because the real statistics make 'em look bad. So, yeah, that's where we're at. We're just gonna deny reality and we're gonna invade a sovereign nation, an ally, by the way, that Trump is still trying to work out a trade deal with, because he wants to take out the cartels. And I'm not saying the cartels are good, guys. I'm not saying they should still exist. What I am saying is that unless they come across into the United States, it's not our problem to solve. Now, we can work with President Claudia Scheinbaum from Mexico on plans and ways, and offer aid and assistance to get rid of the cartels, but until they step foot on us soil, it's not our problem to deal with. I mean, you mean to tell me that we can send all these weapons to the Middle East, sell all these things to people who then use it to commit atrocities, whether it's Saudi Arabia, you know, the Israeli government led by Netanyahu,
You know, or any of these countries. We give them all the weapons, we give them literal cash to do these things on issues that are not even our problem, right? They don't even become our problems. Meanwhile, Mexico does have a problem with the cartels, and they do need help with it. But rather than offering them a fraction of what we give to these Middle Eastern countries, Donald Trump just says, if you can't get rid of the cartels at the end of the week, I'm gonna bum the hell out of you. And I don't care who does.
We could be working with them. We could be creating this international, you know, drug enforcement force to take out the suppliers. And by takeout, I don't mean go in there guns blazing and kill everybody. I mean, round them up, arrest them, put them in prison. But we're not offering that. No, we're not offering peaceful solutions to actually solve the problems. We're going in with bullets and bombs. That's what Donald Trump wants, and that's at this point, according to these reports, what is already in the works.
