Trump has ordered 14 military strikes against drug boats since September. 57 people are dead. Even Rand Paul is calling it unconstitutional. But here's what nobody's asking: What would YOU do to stop boats bringing fentanyl that killed 73,000 Americans last year? 

In this episode, John O'Connor breaks down why Trump's approach is right, why traditional Coast Guard methods fail 93% of the time, and why even constitutional conservatives are getting this wrong. Topics include Rand Paul's objections, international law arguments, the Venezuela regime change angle, and why this is war—not law enforcement. 

73,690 Americans died from overdoses last year. Coast Guard intercepts only 7-15% of maritime cocaine. When we do arrest smugglers, foreign governments release them within hours. The old way has failed catastrophically.
