Stopping Drugs at Sea: The Truth About the Controversial Military Decision | Ep 613

50 minutes

Merry Christmas Eve from everyone at the Sean Spicer Show. Today we are replaying a conversation we had with Tim Parlatore. Tim is a Reserve Naval Jag Commander and has been an attorney for both President Trump and Pete Hegseth. It was earlier this week that President Trump introduced the new 'Trump Class' of Navy Warships, a massive upgrade to some of the tired, old and obsolete vessels the Navy currently has. President Trump has been saving American lives by taking out narco-terrorist drug boats at sea, but one strike in September caused a media frenzy drummed up by the Washington Post. Secretary of the Department of War, Pete Hegseth spoke about Operation Southern Spear and the efforts to defeat narco terrorists. Drugs coming in by sea are down by 91% as decisions are being made to strike down drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea. Highly Decorated 4 Star Admiral Bradley sent a second strike on a drug boat after the first strike was inefficient. The decision to strike the boat again was based on the cargo in the boat being retrieved by the cartels and resent to America, not the survivors of the strike. Tim Parlatore is a legal expert and a reserve Navy JAG Commander. He is here today to discuss how these operations are formulated through an extensive legal process combined with intelligence gathering. The decision to strike a boat is well-formulated and Admiral Bradley acted within the rules of engagement.
