Key Excerpts:
Sen. Banks on Secretary Hegseth’s Narco-terrorist Strikes: “President Trump is doing exactly what the American people elected him to do. He’s secured the border and now he’s keeping us safe and stopping this poison from flooding into our country. He’s the first president in my life who’s been serious about the war on drugs, declaring war on the cartels. And Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is doing a great job, an exceptional job of executing President Trump’s strategy to do that… 71 % of Americans support President Trump and what he’s doing to strike these drug boats and stopping poison from coming into our country. And that’s what makes the Democrat position so ridiculous.”

“The American people are on the president’s side. They’re on Pete Hegseth’s side to stop the drugs and the poison from coming into our country… Tom Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, came out of that briefing today and said it was all justified. The attacks on these narco-terrorists was justified then… It’s been justified every day since. And I hope President Trump and Secretary Hegseth keep up the good work and keep doing what they’re doing to save the lives of so many American people. Under Joe Biden, we had hundreds of thousands of Americans who died of drug poisonings because of drugs flowing into our country. And Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth said, they’re putting a stop to it.”

“… The President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief has Article II powers to protect the homeland, to keep America safe, and to stop the poison from coming into this country. He’s entirely justified already… President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are doing exactly what the American people gave the President a mandate last November to do, and they’re doing it in a very effective way… We’re already seeing the number of drug overdoses in America decline.. And that number is going to keep going down because of these strikes on drug boats and the activities of this military and the Department of War going after these narco-terrorists. I’m very proud of what they’re doing, and again, I hope they keep it up… I’m going to back him up in every way that I can.”
