Rogue Conservative Shark Guests on Univision’s ‘Al Punto’ Political Talk Show
by Javier Manjarres
Last weekend I was invited to be a guest panelist on Univision’s Sunday morning political show ‘Al Punto’, and I was privileged to be able to give my take on the current political news of the week. One of the topics in question was Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s forthcoming visit to the White House. Host Jorge Ramos asked the panel what we believed the two Presidents would discuss during the visit as well as the implications of the recent murder of a U.S. Federal agent along the border area who was killed by a known drug bandit that was later arrested and admitted to the crime.Regarding Calderon, I opined the following:
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Ramos then asked us if we thought that the murder of the ICE agent Zapata would change the makeup of the drug war in Mexico, I responded:
Mr. Ramos pointed out that my words were “very strong” to call President Calderon a “weak President” that hasn’t done anything to fix this problem. The chance that either President Calderon or President Obama will send their respective militaries to guard the border region and stop illegal border crossings is slim to none. But as the two meet this week to discuss the mounting carnage that is occurring along the border region, it will be very interesting to see if President Calderon has the ‘cojones’ to stand up and blame the U.S. for all that ails Mexico- an all too familiar refrain from our “friends” south of the border- when in fact he has no better “friend” in the White House who is far more concerned with a public relations opportunity than he is with dealing with the increasing lawlessness along the border.
