Tucker and Col. Macgregor Warn How Neocons Are Exploiting the Drug Crisis to Drag America Into War

This podcast recap is from a discussion between Tucker Carlson and Col Macgregor. They talk about a strong argument against a potential U.S. regime change war in Venezuela, suggesting that the stated reasons for intervention—such as concerns over Nicolas Maduro's socialist policies, oil reserves, or drug trafficking—are likely pretexts for deeper, possibly financial, motives or a desire to project strength abroad. The commentary suggests that policymakers are ignoring critical domestic issues, such as the devastating fentanyl and opioid crisis and the degradation of American cities, in favor of foreign interventionism that has a poor track record of success. The discussion contrasts the push for war with the lack of political will to address the severe drug crisis within the United States, including the role of harm reduction policies and housing first initiatives that are arguably exacerbating addiction and homelessness. They conclude that American efforts would be better spent focusing on domestic accountability and security rather than overseas conflicts.
