Drug Boat Blows - Podcast Draft

WELCOME

President Donald J. Trump has once again done what every past administration has promised but failed to deliver: he took real action. Not a press conference, not another “blue ribbon commission,” not another meaningless “war on drugs” slogan. He ordered a military strike that destroyed a cartel vessel carrying narcotics into our nation. This is the third strike in a single month. Three direct hits. Three fewer threats. And three loud messages to the world: America will defend itself.

INSERT DISCLAIMER

Well, well, well, once again we have the Wall Street Journal and its reporters who slant the story with words like “allegedly,” “questions remain,” and “critics argue.” Spare me. And let me make this extremely clear. I don’t care at all about drug smugglers being killed. They don’t care about who they kill, then it’s simply a game of get them first, and we have the upper hand even with one hand restrained. So cry yourself a river on the left, on the right, let’s not cheer but calmly explain to those who will listen, “this is a war.”

So, these were narco-terrorists who have previously enjoyed easy passage, but not so any more. These were traffickers of death, moving poison through routes we have tracked for nearly a century are real. Intelligence confirmed it. The vessel was on a known trafficking passage. There was no doubt about what was happening. It was tracked from where they left and where they were eliminated. And Trump did not hesitate. He acted.

Now, this is where, in an America a generation or two ago, bands would play, people would cheer, and you could walk the streets with your family and feel safe, rather than in fear of your daughter, sister, or wife having her throat slit.

Now, let’s step back. For over 50 years, America has lived under the shadow of a Vietnam-style war on drugs. Billions spent. Thousands dead. Fentanyl pouring through our borders. Law enforcement begging for help but chained by regulations, lawsuits, and political correctness. Politicians on both sides talking tough while looking the other way. Meanwhile, communities collapse and families bury their children.

Trump changed that. He recognized what it really is: not just a “drug problem,” but warfare. Cartels are not businessmen; they are terrorists. They destabilize nations, fund gangs, and flood our streets with chemical weapons disguised as narcotics. They kill more Americans each year than most of the declared wars ever did. And now, finally, America has a president who refuses to play defense. He strikes. He destroys the threat at its source.

INSERT CASUAL COCKTAIL CONVERSATION REMINDER

Okay then, here’s what we have. Trump did what needs to be done, and yet — here comes the chorus. The media. The Democrats. The lawyers. “What about legality? What about constitutionality? What about international law?” Give me a break. Where were these voices when Americans died of fentanyl overdoses? Where were the cries for justice when families lost children to cartel violence? Where were the constitutional purists when government bureaucrats locked down the nation during COVID and told us to “just obey”? And if you say anything that Biden, Obama, or Clinton says to blindly believe in, we, yes we are deplatformed, debanked, and fired from the job. Again, how rich, people are fired in the private sector for spewing vile hate and cheering the death of Charlie Kirk, but millions were terminated from over a questionable, untested, and poorly researched genetic modifier that stretched the definition of what a true vaccine is to its absolute limits. Ah the hypocrites, They appear only when Trump acts to defend America. That is situational ethics at its finest. Again, that is situational ethics at it’s finest.

Now let’s make the connection the press wants to ignore. While cartels smuggle poison, the left cheers the silencing — and in Charlie Kirk’s case, the murder — of a conservative voice. They scream about “human rights” for drug traffickers, but shrug when free speech is stamped out here at home. When Charlie Kirk spoke, he challenged the machine. He stood for traditional values. He was a traditional American Superman: Truth, Justice, and the American Way. For that, he was targeted. And when he was assassinated, the reaction from the left was either silence or open celebration as in the case of some nurses, doctors, teachers, police officers, and yes, man-child comedians who are not and never were comedians but rather nothing more than paid left-wing mouth blow holes whose stick has worn it’s welcome and has been ignored by the overwhelming majority for over a decade. Imagine that: cheering the death of an American citizen while weeping for the so-called rights of narco-terrorists.

You see, Trump’s critics cannot see the hypocrisy because they do not care. They do not care. Throat slit or bullet to the head, too bad, we don’t care. Yes, that’s their take and you and I had better recognize it, for if we don’t now, then when? For the left-wing wackos, free speech is conditional. It belongs to the DNC, self-appointed play-acting Hollywood elites, and their media allies, like many of the Wall Street Journal’s fake journalists. They don’t care about Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, or true, taxpaying, lawful, hardworking Americans. Not a damn. And you need more proof? Well here it is, Never forget that when Michael Bloomberg ran for the Democratic party nomination for president, the call 90% of America “fly-over” states. Yes, we’re supposed to be seen not heard. Think about that.

But finally, we have Trump who has made his position clear: America comes first. If you smuggle drugs, you are an enemy. If you commit violence against Americans, you are a terrorist. If you murder conservatives and silence their voices, you will be exposed. He is not waiting for permission from bureaucrats, soy-boy senators like Adam Schiff and Tim Kaine, or the Wall Street Journal’s editorial desk butt sitters. He is defending America. With men and women who work, bleed, and do it with pride. These are not butt sitters, these are men and women, who like Trump, get the job done. Period.

And make no mistake — this is not reckless. This is not impulsive. It is calculated. Intelligence is gathered. Targets are confirmed. The strikes are precise. That is leadership. That is what a commander-in-chief is supposed to do. For decades, the Coast Guard intercepted these vessels, brought the crews in, and watched the revolving door of justice put them back into the drug importation business and game. And so, ask yourself, who was being paid off? Too rich of a question? Well, then let’s do it again. Who in the Senate and House have been directly or indirectly being paid off by the drug cartels? Follow the money, and maybe, it’s time to expose and prosecute.

Trump decided enough is enough. Deterrence only works when it is real, and nothing is more real than a smoldering cartel vessel at the bottom of the sea.

So let us connect the dots. Trump protects America from foreign narco-terrorists. At the same time, the left cheers when domestic conservatives like Charlie Kird are silenced, attacked, or killed. The message from Trump: whether the threat is a drug boat or a mob targeting free speech in America, it will not stand. We will defend our people. We will defend our sovereignty. We will defend our future.

Let’s wrap this up. Charlie Kirk’s murder shows the double standard in its rawest form. In its absolute rawest form. It was disgusting to watch, at least it should have been for all but the insane among us. Democrats and their media allies protect cartels and narco-terrorists with endless excuses. But when conservatives are targeted, they smirk. President Trump like you and me, well he does not smirk. He acts. He takes the fight to those who wage war on America. He defends families, sovereignty, and freedom. And for that, he is damned by the press. Damned by the Democrats. Damned if he does, damned if he does not. But history will remember that he chose to do — and America is safer for it.
