Trump Administration Sets Sights On Crushing Cartels Sep 10, 2025

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.

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.
