TIM DILLON (HOST): Maduro, there is some relationship he has to the drug dealers in Venezuela, obviously. Now a lot of fentanyl comes from China. Some of it comes in from Mexico. There's — I'm sure there's some coming in from Venezuela. Of course, there is. A regime change war decapitating the government? I don't know. I mean, what are we doing? I mean, nobody knows what we're doing. I don't think anybody knows what we're doing here. 

But I guess, Pete Hegseth, our Secretary of War, is kind of denying that he committed a war crime because people are now saying that, 'top Republicans have joined Democrats in demanding answers about the escalating military campaign the Trump administration says is aimed at targeting drug traffickers.' So here's the thing. 'The remarks, came in response to a Washington Post report on Friday that said the defense secretary Pete Hegseth had given a verbal order to kill everyone aboard boats suspected of smuggling drugs and that this led a military commander to carry out a second strike to kill those, who had initially survived an attack in early September. Obviously, if that occurred, that would be very serious, and I agree that that would be an illegal act. Representative Mike Turner, Republican of Ohio and former chairman of the intelligence committee, said on Face the Nation.' 

They gotta kill people. This is what the thing is. The Epstein thing is like an albatross around their neck. You just can't get rid of it. They can't shake it. They're covering up a human trafficking ring. It's — you can't shake it. You can't shake it. So the economy is tough. There's more layoffs now than at any time since COVID. The economy is tanking. People feel very apprehensive about the holiday season, shopping, getting presents for their family, and by the way, stop. Here's the thing: kids get presents. Stop with the adults. I'm telling you now.
