Rules of Engagement: Crippled US Troops for 20 Years But Sinking Fentanyl Boats? Is a WAR CRIME?

fentanyl crisis killing tens of thousands of American kids every year. He declares unequivocally that:
He does not care about “rules of engagement” or accusations of “war crimes” if blowing up boats carrying precursor chemicals or fentanyl will stop even one shipment that could kill 100,000 Americans.
He says he would personally “push the button” to sink such a vessel even if it meant spending the rest of his life in prison, because he has witnessed the total destruction of families and communities from fentanyl.
He rejects the idea that sinking suspected drug-running boats in international waters is immoral while politicians and media ignore stolen elections, open borders, and classified documents next to Biden’s Corvette.
He then pivots to the current media firestorm around Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth:
Every major network (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc.) led their 4–5 AM shows with coordinated attacks on Hegseth over:
Old Signal app controversy
A September 2, 2025 U.S. military strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean
Details of the strike: After the first strike, two survivors were observed; one reportedly radioed for help, but intelligence concluded they were attempting to continue the drug mission → a second strike was authorized, killing both.
Media and Democrat senators (including Mark Kelly, Mark Warner, and CIA-linked figures) are calling the second strike a potential “war crime.”
The host shows dozens of screenshots of morning news chyrons all using nearly identical language, claiming this proves a coordinated deep-state/media takedown of Hegseth.
Reports claim Hegseth forced a top admiral (Whitaker or Whitley) to resign after months of discord because the admiral resisted certain operations or chains of command.
The host asserts this is all theater to block Trump’s Pentagon pick and maintain control by the military-industrial complex and deep state.
He repeatedly circles back to his central thesis: America has tolerated maiming its own soldiers with insane rules of engagement in endless foreign wars for decades, but now suddenly cares about “war crimes” when the military finally hits cartel drug runners. He calls the outrage hypocritical selective outrage from the same people who ignore dead American kids in the streets from fentanyl.

The episode ends abruptly with the host warning that America is at a pivotal moment regarding who really controls the Pentagon and the future direction of the country.
