Trump Administration Sets Sights On Crushing Cartels

President Trump is escalating the war on drugs, announcing last week a successful U.S. military strike in the Caribbean, taking out a drug trafficking boat near the coast of Venezuela. The following day, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told FOX & Friends that 11 people on the boat whom he called “terrorists” were eliminated. Often, law enforcement traces how these drug trafficking boats bring dangerous drugs onto America’s streets. The Drug Enforcement Administration is on the front lines battling exactly that. Special Agent Frank Tarentino is part of the DEA New York Division and joins the Rundown to explain the latest challenges in the war on drugs. As Democrats wade through dismal poll numbers, different party members are staking out their positions and messaging to Americans about President Trump’s latest initiatives on crime, the border, and the economy. Former DNC Press Secretary Jose Aristuimuno says when it comes to the way the President is tackling the issue of crime and public safety, it may be worth Democrats trying to collaborate rather than fight with President Trump. Chief of Staff to the White House Press Office under President Biden and Principal at Podium Strategies Yemisi Egbewole joins the podcast to break down the latest internal divisions and what the future holds for the Democratic Party.
