Rubio & Hegseth Brief the Press as Dems Defend Drug Runners?! - Dec 16 Hr 1 Dec 17, 2025

Show notes

After a closed-door meeting, Secretaries Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth step up for a press briefing on one of the most urgent national security threats right now: drug-running boats coming out of Venezuela. Pags asks the obvious question — who in their right mind is against stopping illegal drugs from flooding into the country? He also points out an inconvenient truth the media ignores: Obama authorized multiple strikes, and no one batted an eye because a president defending the country used to be considered normal. So why the outrage now? Pags breaks down the stunning reality that Democrats are actually siding with the drug runners, and explains exactly what’s going on. A sharp, eye-opening hour you cannot miss.
