What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA Coast Guard firefight near the Rio Grande has put Washington and Mexico City at odds, and President Sheinbaum is demanding evidence that the gunfire came from Mexico.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith me is Prudence Calloway-Reyes, who advises both governments.

  3. Prudence Calloway-ReyesBoth is a strong word, Gloria. Speaking as a neutral party, I simply have a very full calendar on each bank of the river.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo who fired first? Mexico wants proof it was them, and I would like to know whether you have seen any.

  5. Prudence Calloway-ReyesSpeaking as a neutral party, my Washington client is certain, and my Mexico City client is certain the other way.

  6. Prudence Calloway-ReyesI bill them both for the certainty.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBoth of them.

  8. Prudence Calloway-ReyesSpeaking as a neutral party, I also wear a two-sided lanyard, so nobody gets confused about whose meeting I am in.

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI asked where the evidence is. Both governments are paying you, and neither one has shown me a single bullet casing. Not one.

  10. Prudence Calloway-ReyesSpeaking as a neutral party, the evidence is being gathered, and I have already sent both sides an invoice for the gathering.

  11. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen I am filing you under evidence requested, Ms. Calloway-Reyes. Flip the lanyard, please, and tell me which side that is.
