3:36Now PlayingThe United States government has finally decided to put real steel behind its words. In this episode, former FBI executive Chris Piehota breaks down new Department of War boat operations targeting cartel and narco-terror vessels that are smuggling poison into the United States. He takes apart the latest talking points from critics who say these strikes are “illegal,” “murder,” or banned under the laws of war because Congress never declared a formal war.
Chris walks through why designated foreign terrorists, narco-terror groups, and transnational organized crime networks are lawful targets when they move tons of deadly drugs toward our shores – and why second and third strikes on a sinking hostile boat are absolutely within the rules of engagement. He contrasts today’s political outrage with the silence during Obama-era drone strikes and the Trump administration’s ISIS campaign, and explains why America can no longer afford to be a paper tiger on the high seas. If you want straight, unapologetic national-security analysis, this is it.

Foreign terrorist organizations, narco-terror groups, and transnational organized crime moving drugs toward America.
Why these cartel and terror elements are treated as enemy combatants, not mere criminals.
The administration’s shift in posture and message to cartels and organized crime.

Channel Approach: The world does not have to suck, but there are some things we should talk about without hating each other or purposely seeking conflict. Things such as current events, standing social issues, and areas of lingering concern that are of interest to many people. Are you tired of "overly-scripted", highly "curated", and "conflict-based" content that has become the norm? Are you exhausted with content that looks like contrived takeoffs of the failed mainstream media? I am. So, I hope you will forgive me for a less generic, over-produced approach where ideas can be shared in a more informal fashion about what is going on for the ordinary people of the world. For the sake of real talk, minor recording mistakes will be included in this content.
