The discussion shifts to other regional targets, suggesting that Colombia's president must "watch his ass" due to ongoing cocaine production. The hosts speculate that the focus on Cuba is a "misdirection" and that Mexico is the true primary target for future U.S. intervention due to its proximity and significant border issues.

Cardinal Giovanni Battista Rea presided over the funeral of Pope Francis in St. Peter's Square, delivering a homily that emphasized peace and the destruction caused by war.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that U.S. military drone operators are being deployed to target drug cartel locations within Mexico.

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.

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.

During the Republican border tour, representatives from 26 states and American Samoa discussed the risks of human trafficking and terrorism resulting from current border policies. Proponents argue that reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy would reduce illegal crossings by up to 80%.

Following the expiration of Title 42, the hosts observe live border cameras in El Paso and other crossings, noting a surprising lack of the "tsunami" of migrants predicted by mainstream media. They review reports of the Texas National Guard successfully turning back groups of migrants at the Rio Grande. The discussion suggests that political narratives from both the left and right are exaggerating the immediate chaos at the border.

The expiration of Title 42 has led to a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, though foreign media reports suggest the Biden administration is actually implementing stricter "Title 8" enforcement. France 24 coverage highlights Texas State Police installing razor wire and migrants being told they must register in other countries before seeking U.S. asylum. The hosts suggest the Biden administration is attempting to "get points on the board" by appearing tougher on illegal crossings.
