The War on Drugs took on a new twist Monday in the Oval Office when President Trump declared fentanyl a Weapon of Mass Destruction—ratcheting up his target on drug cartels and the poison they deliver to America’s shores, killing 100,000 or more people a year in this country.

Meanwhile, the Department of War’s strikes on narco-terrorists—specifically the strikes in September on drug-running boats—are still dominating the airwaves and the internet.

Democrats and the mainstream media are outraged. Not over the fact that criminals are trying to reach the United States with boatloads of drugs that kill American citizens—no, they’re outraged that the President of the United States is doing anything about it, and putting Americans first.

And I’m mad as hell for Democrats worrying about drug dealers first and not Americans first.

I’m sick of the twisted set of priorities. Why? Because across this nation—in my home state, in my friends’ homes—people are dying as a result of these drugs. By the hundreds of thousands. And the left wants you to cry for the drug dealers.

These are real people—sons, daughters, mothers, fathers—and I’m going to focus on them today, because theirs are the stories that matter.

President Trump knows that. That’s why he almost blew a fuse on this ABC reporter for not getting it.

I can think of a lot more ugly things I’d call all these people who are so hung up on the videos and the rights of narco-terrorists, while they don’t blink an eye at the hundreds of people who die every day from fentanyl poisoning.

Georgia Representative Hank Johnson is a lot more than just obnoxious—he’s delusional and completely out of line—comparing the U.S. to SATAN for keeping its people safe. Listen to this:

Hank Johnson lives in a world where up is down and right is wrong, apparently. He’s worried about narco-terrorists who don’t have as much power as the United States military. He’s worried about the drug traffickers—not the victims of these criminals.

Let’s take a look at just my own state, shall we?

There were 2,287 reported opioid-related overdose deaths in Michigan in 2023, a 250% increase from a decade earlier. More than six Michiganders die from an opioid overdose on any average day—and of those deaths, 95% are from synthetic opioids like fentanyl.

I can tell you right now—the family members of those who died sure as hell wish someone would’ve blown up the boat that brought those drugs over.

They don’t have any issues with blowing those dealers of death right out of the water—they just wish the leaders of our country would’ve done it sooner. A lot sooner. Before they had to plan a funeral.

Because it works: national data show a 250% decline in overdose deaths from the year ending in March 2025 compared to the previous year.

Turns out that attacking an epidemic at its source is pretty effective.

Senator Tom Cotton says he’s a big fan and he’s not ashamed of it.

That’s exactly how I feel. And it’s how the victims’ family members feel.

Let me tell you about Caleb and Kyler Kiessling—brothers who were 18 and 20 years old in 2020 in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

They—along with 17-year-old Sofia Harris—thought they were being given Percocet, oxycodone pills. They thought they were harmless, and they were just going to have a cool night.

One of the boys had written just a few months earlier that he would never mess with anything like heroin or something more dangerous—because he had seen it rip apart the life of his birth mother.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that’s 50 times more potent than heroin—and that tragic day in 2020, those fake Percocet pills contained fentanyl and claimed the lives of both boys and that 17-year-old girl.

Guess who survived? The drug dealer who sold it to them. He took some of the same pills, but he had access to Narcan and is serving time for his crimes. Time that those boys won’t ever get.

Their adoptive mother has testified in front of the House on behalf of her kids—and she hits the nail right on the head.

Thank God, we’re doing more now. But I know that Rebecca wishes it didn’t take the death of hundreds of thousands, including her own sons, to make the change.

I actually reached out to Rebecca to hear her story, and she replied—saying this:

“They were casualties of a war no one wanted to acknowledge—until now. China and the cartels are trying to kill us off so they can own everything we’ve got. 80% of their fake pills have a lethal dose of fentanyl. People don’t understand and ask, ‘Why would they want to kill their customers?’ Because it’s a war! I’m glad to see the Trump administration is doing something about it, defending our nation, our borders and our children, and saving lives. I just wish my sons were not caught in this bizarre window in history when our nation was under attack and our government didn’t acknowledge that truth, and didn’t warn us.”

She’s hoping to join me later this week right here on Real America’s Voice to discuss this more.

You heard her call out those hypocrites for failing to pay attention to the true weapon of mass destruction—fentanyl—and some Democrats are still ignoring the danger. Here’s Senator Warner:

We’re experiencing a loss of life in the U.S. on par with 9/11 every 10 days, Senator Warner. It’s not a stretch.

A tragic loss of life—in thriving, bustling cities like Rochester Hills—and in tiny fishing communities like Rapid River, Michigan—a town of fewer than 350 people that saw four of its young adults die from fentanyl poisoning in less than a year, with two more the year before. Three of those victims were from the same 35-person high school class of 2021. Four of them were on the same football team. One of them was the football coach’s son.

You can live over 1,700 miles from the southern border—in a small rural fishing village where everyone knows everyone, where your parents lead local Bible studies—but if your country’s leaders don’t take drug trafficking seriously, fentanyl will find its way into your community.

The same goes for Traverse City—a thriving tourist destination in my home state—and yet another area hit by fentanyl.

Mike Summers was celebrating his birthday. His family hasn’t been shy about being open about the fact that he was a partier—but they were more worried about his alcohol consumption than drug usage.

That is, until his dad walked into Mike’s home and found him curled in the fetal position—skin blue—dead from fentanyl poisoning.

That was in 2023. His family wanted things to change.

Exactly. The drug dealers and sellers coming here are not good people. They don’t care about you, about me, about Mike, or Caleb, or Kyler—and they need to be stopped from coming here, whether that’s with a beefed-up ICE force or with targeted military strikes that don’t put Americans at risk.

I want those narco-terrorists terrified. I have no problem with that. I hope they’re too afraid to attempt another boat ride here.

When you hear news story after news story about these strikes, I want you to think of these families—and the hundreds of thousands like them.

Think of the Summers family, the Kiessling family, the town in Rapid River. I’m sure you know people yourself who have been affected by this.

That’s what the Democrats and mainstream media need to think about.
