The discussion shifts to other regional targets, suggesting that Colombia's president must "watch his ass" due to ongoing cocaine production.

George Stephanopoulos questioned J.D. Vance about an FBI surveillance tape allegedly showing Border Czar Tom Homan accepting $50,000 in cash.

Donald Trump delivered a speech at the United Nations General Assembly criticizing the UN for funding an "assault" on Western borders through cash assistance to migrants. The President claimed the UN budgeted $372 million for migrant support in 2024 and provided debit cards and phones to those traveling to the U.S. southern border. He asserted that under his current leadership, the "invasion" has been stopped, contrasting his policies with the previous Biden administration.

The trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada are linked to the production and smuggling of fentanyl. Claims are made that Mexican cartels operate labs within Canada, transporting narcotics into the U.S. via commercial trucks carrying legitimate goods like lumber and auto parts.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1743-magarexia/chapter/u-s-drone-strikes-in-mexico-cartel-targets.md

Unconfirmed reports suggest that U.S. military drone operators are being deployed to target drug cartel locations within Mexico. While not officially reported by major news outlets, the claim aligns with recent political rhetoric regarding increased military action against cartels. The lack of mainstream coverage is noted as a potential sign of a covert operation.

Illegal border crossings have plummeted to levels not seen since early 2021, a trend attributed to strict new policies and the phenomenon of "reverse migration." Migrants from Venezuela and Colombia who were waiting in Mexico are reportedly returning home to avoid the risk of deportation. The cancellation of smartphone-based asylum applications has further discouraged irregular migration through the Darien Gap.

Former ICE Director Tom Homan delivered a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) criticizing the Biden administration's border policies.

Mexico and Canada have both taken steps to bolster border security in response to Trump's tariff threats, including deportations and the deployment of drones and Blackhawk helicopters. While Canada has taken a conciliatory diplomatic approach, Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum has been more aggressive in her rhetoric. The hosts question if these measures will be enough to prevent a full-scale North American trade war.

Incoming border czar Tom Homan is preparing to execute large-scale raids and deportations immediately following the presidential inauguration.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1719-pod-roll/chapter/liberal-awareness-of-the-cbp-one-mobile-app.md

An anecdote describes a social experiment where liberal acquaintances were found to be entirely unaware of the CBP One mobile app used by migrants to schedule entry into the United States. The lack of awareness is attributed to selective reporting in mainstream outlets like the New York Times.

Reports from the New York Times indicate that only 9% of FEMA personnel were available to respond to Hurricane Milton as of Monday morning. Speculation suggests that a significant portion of the agency's staff remains deployed to the U.S. southern border to assist with migrant processing. Additionally, MSNBC host Chris Hayes is criticized for claiming a two-degree Celsius temperature rise would make storms "twice as bad," a calculation dismissed as scientifically baseless.

Donald Trump delivered a speech criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris's handling of the U.S. border, claiming her policies allowed over 600,000 migrant criminals into the country. Trump asserted that Harris is "mentally impaired" and "born that way," arguing that any Republican who oversaw such a border situation would have been impeached and removed from office.

Donald Trump admitted at the NABJ convention that his campaign was originally geared entirely toward defeating Joe Biden and must now pivot to face Kamala Harris. A new political advertisement lists "25 ways the US is being destroyed," focusing on open borders, crime, fentanyl, and the "weaponization of justice." The ad uses high-intensity imagery and music to frame the current administration's tenure as a period of moral and societal decay.

### Democratic Schism, John Fetterman and Asylum Officer Bandwidth

- **Episode:** [1666: Wyrd](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1666-wyrd.md)

Senator John Fetterman defended President Biden’s border executive order against criticism from progressive "Squad" members like Pramila Jayapal. Analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies suggests the order may be ineffective due to a lack of asylum officers; with only 1,000 officers able to conduct a few interviews daily, the system cannot handle the volume of migrants.
