California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he simply cannot stomach politicians who lie to the public, despite plenty of evidence the Democrat himself has deceived Americans.
Appearing on "Meet the Press" with NBC's Kristen Welker, Newsom indicated: "There is nothing I dislike more than a politician that just sits there and lies to you. And we all just sit there rolling our eyes going, 'Give me a break.'"
When asked about the decline of Joe Biden's cognitive abilities and why Newsom did not speak up, the governor said: "I'm not gonna substitute myself for someone else or for popular opinion. I'm gonna express my relationship to my truth with the former president of the United States including at the end of his term quite literally in December, which was a master class of foreign policy and domestic policy which I will never forget. … There was nothing to suggest [any problems with Biden's mental acuity]."
But the record tells a different story when it comes to Newsom's own veracity.
For instance, in a high-profile March interview with Charlie Kirk before his assassination, the governor claimed no one in his office used the woke term "LatinX" in reference to someone in the Hispanic community.
"By the way, not one person in my office has ever used the word LatinX," Newsom told Kirk. "I just didn't even know where it came from. What are people talking about?"
However, Newsom himself on many occasions has used that term, and Kirk posted a video noting, "CNN put together a brutal compilation of Gov. Gavin Newsom personally and repeatedly using the phrase.
"If he'll lie like this, directly to my face, on camera … ."
Newsom himself used the word LatinX on numerous posts on X.
Last month, as WorldNetDaily reported, Trump officials fact-checked Newsom after he promoted a false claim the Trump administration was closing parts of the Interstate 5 highway for a military showcase.
"Donald Trump and JD Vance think that shutting down the I-5 to shoot out missiles from ships is how you respect the military. PUT ASIDE YOUR VANITY PARADE AND PAY OUR TROOPS INSTEAD," Newsom wrote on X.
"Governor Newsom is deliberately spreading Fake News to Californians to fearmonger and score cheap political points," Taylor Van Kirk, the vice president's press secretary, told the Daily Signal.
William Martin, a special assistant to the president and communications director to the vice president, responded to Newsom's claim: "This is complete fake news. The Marine Corps said they are NOT shutting down the I-5 highway and that the event at Camp Pendleton is a training exercise. Also, President Trump IS paying the troops despite Chuck Schumer's efforts to hold their salaries hostage."
On Oct. 26, Newsom, who has been under fire recently for granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, made no secret he's interested in following Donald Trump as the next American president.
Appearing on "Sunday Morning" on CBS, Newsom answered positively when asked about his White House ambition.
"Yeah, I'd be lying otherwise. I'd just be lying. And I'm not – I can't do that," Newsom said.
"I think the biggest challenge for anyone that runs of any office is people see right through you if you don't have that why. You doing it for the wrong reasons."

A significant enforcement move by the U.S. Department of the Treasury has exposed a sprawling human-smuggling enterprise led by an Indian-born couple that has funneled migrants from multiple continents via Mexico into the United States.
The individuals identified are Vikrant Bhardwaj, age 39, and his wife Indu Rani, age 38, both originally from New Delhi. They are alleged to head the so-called "Bhardwaj Human Smuggling Organization" (HSO), which operated out of Cancun, Mexico and maintained a network of front companies from India, the United Arab Emirates and Mexico.
From Treasury Dept. press statement
According to the Treasury Department's announcement, the smuggling blueprint worked like this: Migrants from Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America, including some from countries deemed national security risks, would fly into Cancun, be housed in hotels or hostels controlled by the network, then travel north along Mexico's coasts and by land via the "Tapachula-Cancun-Mexicali Corridor," ultimately arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border. Bribery of airport and security personnel and cooperation with the notorious Sinaloa Cartel are also alleged. This blueprint was used to smuggle thousands of migrants into the U.S.
In parallel, the network is alleged to have laundered money through real-estate and hospitality businesses. Indian companies such as Veena Shivani Estates Private Limited are cited as part of the scheme.
Under the sanctions, all U.S. property or interests tied to the organization or individuals are frozen and U.S. persons are barred from transacting with them.
The significance is two-fold for American interests: It underscores the international dimension of undocumented migration and human-smuggling networks and it raises questions about how Indian nationals and companies factor into pipelines that effectively bypass border controls while undercutting legal migration channels.
For U.S. policy and worker-protection advocates, this case may trigger further scrutiny of India-linked operations that exploit global mobility and migration systems for profit, especially when American labor and border security intersect.
While no arrest information was detailed in the Treasury release, the sanctions themselves are being used as a lever to choke off funds and disrupt logistics before full criminal prosecutions follow.
This case presents a sharp warning: When transnational criminal organizations use sophisticated corporate and geographic cover to smuggle persons, the results are not just a border enforcement issue, they become national-security, labor market and human-rights concerns.

There's no doubt that the leftists across America are using often-leftist judges to fight President Donald Trump.
One state alone, Colorado, clearly is demanding that judges in black robes rule the nation instead of the duly elected president, having gone to court 41 times already against the president.
The result is there's been a flood of rulings, both for and against Trump's agenda, from the lower courts. And because of the attempt by states literally to take over the functions of the White House, deciding foreign policy, border security issues and more, a lot of battles have landed on the Supreme Court's emergency docket.
The result of that was that dozens of judges, anonymously, have "whined" to the public that they don't like what's going on, that they're not getting their way as they want, that Trump's White House actually is being given permission to act as the White House.
It was the New York Times that publicized the judges' politics.
That publication said at issue are "the quick-turn orders the Supreme Court has issued dictating whether Trump administration policies should be left in place while they are litigated through the lower courts."
That emergency docket, a fraction of those judges on lower courts complained, wasn't being used property.
"Sixty-five judges responded to a Times questionnaire sent to hundreds of federal judges across the country. Of those, 47 said the Supreme Court had been mishandling its emergency docket since Mr. Trump returned to office," the report said.
But Mike Davis, of the rule-of-law-protecting Article III Project, says those judges are out of line and either the Supreme Court or Congress needs to punish them.
"Judges have a modest, but crucial, role. They resolve cases and controversies of the parties before them with redressable claims. That is their Article III power. Nothing more; nothing less. Their job is not to run crying anonymously to reporters because the Supreme Court is acting in a way that these inferior court snowflakes despise. Chief Justice Roberts must issue an order to judges to stop talking to the media, either on the record or anonymously," he explained in a column at the Federalist.
"Congress also must levy severe consequences against these judicial embarrassments. The House and Senate Judiciary Committees should open oversight inquiries to find out which anonymous and cowardly judges disgraced the bench through their pathetic public whining. If judges take off their judicial robes, climb into the political arena, and throw political punches, they should expect political counterpunches. Judges have life tenure to insulate them from political pressure, not so they can act like politicians in robes. Sadly, several dozen judges do not understand this basic tenet of our republic, and they must face public shaming."
The Times cited "more than three dozen" of the hundreds of federal judges because those are the ones who responded, claiming they were "confused" by the emergency orders from the high court.
Davis warned that the judges are violating the Code of Conduct for United States judges by "taking pot shots" at the Supreme Court.
"Some judges called Supreme Court reversals 'demoralizing,' while others whined that the Supreme Court's reversals at the very least created the perception of partisanship on the justices' part, as the Supreme Court mostly has been reversing rulings that had gone against Trump administration policies. One judge compared the relationship between the justices and that judge's district to 'a war zone,'" Davis explained.
There are about a thousand inferior judges, below the Supreme Court, who make rulings, and are bound by a code of conduct, which "prohibits judges from making political comments or even comments that a reasonable observer could view as such."
"The griping of inferior court judges stems from about two dozen rulings on the Supreme Court's emergency docket. This docket allows justices to pause orders from lower courts while the litigation proceeds. Radicals trying to grind to a halt President Donald Trump's electoral mandate repeatedly have run to district courts in leftist hellholes like the District of Columbia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Boston. The judges there are overwhelmingly radical leftists. Even the Republican appointees are, for the most part, milquetoast because home-state Democrat senators can veto quality conservative nominees thanks to a Senate tradition known as the blue slip. The Supreme Court has correctly reversed absurd inferior court orders issued by judges who refuse to accept that President Trump is implementing an agenda for which the American people voted," Davis wrote.
He noted the "cowardly" comments as the judges were not identified.
"These judges fail to see the obvious: their accusing the Supreme Court of partisanship in such a blatantly unethical way explicitly reveals their own partisanship. The biased authors of the article make sure to underscore that nearly half of the Republican-appointed judges who responded to questions about the Supreme Court were critical. But the authors do not tell us, for instance, where these Republican appointees sit. If these judges are in blue bastions like Massachusetts, Illinois, California, or Oregon, they do not remotely resemble judicial conservatives," he added.
Davis warned, "Chief Justice John Roberts needs to get his judicial house in order. This latest New York Times drive-by shooting by anonymous federal judges is the most recent blatant example of out-of-control rogue judges sabotaging the federal judiciary, the presidency, and American voters."

A lawsuit against a state demand in Oregon that groups holding religious beliefs fundamentally opposing the deliberate and willful destruction of unborn children fund abortion has been revived.
It is Oregon Right to Life that had sued state Insurance Commissioner Andrew Stolfi in 2023 charging that the state's Reproductive Health Equity Act violated the First Amendment, which protects religious beliefs and liberty.
The lawsuit had been thrown out by a judge at an entry level court.
But a report at Courthousenews now confirms that the case is alive again.
"ORTL put forth significant evidence of its religiosity, and there was no conflicting evidence against ORTL's claim that its views are religiously grounded," explained Judge Lawrence VanDyke, in an opinion from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"The district court therefore erred by failing to conclude at the motion to dismiss stage that ORTL actually holds the beliefs professed in the complaint and that ORTL's opposition to abortion is genuinely religious."
The order explains the lawsuit now will proceed. ORTL charges that the state cannot demand that it provide funding for abortions for its employees without violating the Constitution.
In the state a 2017 law demands that employers pay for abortions, but lets religious groups choose insurance lans excluding that coverage.
Bill Clinton-appointed Ann Aiken, a lower court judge, claimed the group's lack of religious requirements prevailed and dismissed the case.
"There are numerous assertions in the record by Oregon Right to Life that their belief in the sanctity of individual human life and opposition to abortion is based upon religious tenets," lawyer James Bopp, representing ORTL, said in an appeals court hearing.
State officials claimed the organization wasn't religious, despite evidence from Oregon Right to Life that expressed affirmation of Judeo-Christian beliefs in its founding documents.
Circuit Judge John Owens, a Barack Obama appointee, joined VanDyke in the majority.
The decision also cited a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that favored a Catholic nonprofit in Wisconsin.
The court said, "It is worth pointing out that the unanimous Supreme Court emphasized that the issue in Catholic Charities (and a fortiori the issue here) was not a 'hard call.' That was because the court was breaking no new ground. Since long before Catholic Charities, it has been black letter law that the Free Exercise Clause bars laws that discriminate against some or all religious beliefs."

A new internal report regarding the British Broadcasting Corp. confirms that its officials lied about President Donald Trump when reporting on the Jan. 6, 2021, speech to a crowd of fans.
That was the day that some of those fans walked to the Capitol to protest what they viewed as the wrongful election of Joe Biden.
Some broke the law by entering the building when authorities barred them. And a few inside vandalized parts of the building.
They later were pardoned by Trump.
But according to the Daily Mail, a new "damning internal report" confirms that the BBC "manipulated" statements "to make it appear as though he encouraged his supporters to break into the Capitol."
Michael Prescott, was an independent adviser to the BBC for years, and sent a dossier to its board last month, the report said.
The documentation accused the BBC, which is paid for by taxpayers in the U.K., of having a widespread bias against Trump, on the Gaza war and on the transgender debate.
"Prescott explained how the BBC – often described as the world's 'most trusted' broadcaster – 'completely misled' viewers during an episode of the program Panorama which aired a week before the election by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to 'fight like hell.'"
The analysis revealed that Trump actually said he would walk with them "to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
He ended up not being allowed by Secret Service to walk with the crowd.
The network created Trump saying things he "never actually said" by editing and splicing footage of his speech, the report said.
The memo's author warned BBC chief Samir Shah of the very dangerous precedent created by the Panorama claims.
"It is now understood that Prescott's report is circulating among senior figures in the British government," the report said.
Donald Trump Jr. said, "The FAKE NEWS 'reporters' in the UK are just as dishonest and full of s— as the ones here in America!!!!' he wrote on X."
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in the report, "'We have Britain's national broadcaster using a flagship program to tell palpable untruths about Britain's closest ally. Is anyone at the BBC going to take responsibility – and resign?"

A sign at a Halloween event in New York City over the weekend is raising eyebrows as it stated "Charlie Kirk neck massages," mocking the civil-rights leader assassinated by a bullet to the neck in Utah in September.
"DISGUSTING!" exclaimed political commentator Gunther Eagleman on X. "If you haven't realized just what we're up against yet, you'll never see it. Truly dark and disturbing stuff."
Others reacted with positive and negative comments, including:
"This isn't 'Halloween fun,' it's a full-blown character assassination dressed up as a joke. They mock, they smear, they normalize attacks on anyone who disagrees with them. This is exactly what we're up against, and the left doesn't play fair."
"The demons are running rampant in our world because they know that the time is coming to end them. It's terrifying to think this is just the beginning. We Christians must stay strong and pray without ceasing. God will win, He always does."
"While it might be disgusting to you and I, it may be humorous for others. If we did not have this technology, most would not know this sh** is happening. We must take the good with the bad to enjoy freedom of expression and free speech. Get rid of smart phones, period!"
"Proof that the rot of normalized violence is seeping into plain sight. This is cultural poison, and if we keep letting it slide as 'just politics,' we're sleepwalking into darker days."
"Dark and disturbing? More like standard halloween protest theater in NYC. It's designed to trigger, not to be taken literally as a threat."
"LMAO not 'dark and disturbing,' it's literally New York being New York, chill out. Conservatives act like sarcasm is witchcraft, bro it's Halloween not a cult."
This is not the first time leftists have used Kirk's bullet to the neck to provoke conservatives.
One high-profile mocker is Lucy Martinez, a teacher at Chicago's Nathan Hale Elementary School, who was caught on video giving a bullet-to-the-neck gesture to a Charlie Kirk fan during a recent No Kings protest.
Radio host Megyn Kelly did not hold back about the teacher, saying: "Her fat a** needs to be fired, period! She's a pig, and I look forward to her termination which I do believe will eventually happen."

Legendary actor Harrison Ford, best-known for his roles in "Indiana Jones" and "Star Wars" films, has developed a full-blown case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, calling the president the greatest "criminal in history" who "scares the s***" out of him.
In an interview with the left-leaning British newspaper the Guardian this week, the 83-year-old Ford launched a scathing attack on Trump, saying the commander in chief "doesn't have any policies, he has whims. It scares the s*** out of me.
"The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but he's an instrument of the status quo and he's making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket."
"It's unbelievable. I don't know of a greater criminal in history."
Ford will be at Chicago's Field Museum this Wednesday to receive a conservation leadership award, and he blasted Trump for ignoring so-called climate change.
The president exposed climate change as "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world," in a speech to the United Nations in New York last month. "If you don't get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail. You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again."
Ford is blaming natural disasters on climate change, saying: "I knew it was coming, I have been preaching this stuff for 30 years."
"Everything we've said about climate change has come true. Why is that not sufficient that it alarms people that they change behaviors? Because of the entrenched status quo."
The actor told the Guardian he was hopeful that Trump's fossil fuel-dominated outlook would not prevail.
"He's losing ground because everything he says is a lie," Ford said. "I'm confident we can mitigate against [climate change], that we can buy time to change behaviors, to create new technologies, to concentrate more fully on implementation of those policies."
"But we have to develop the political will and intellectual sophistication to realize that we human beings are capable of change. We are incredibly adaptive, we are incredibly inventive. If we concentrate on a problem we can fix it most times."
During the 2024 presidential election, Ford produced videos of himself endorsing the Democrat ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

In a bold and unprecedented move, Florida has become the first state in the nation to take formal action against the use of foreign worker visas in its public university system. Gov. Ron DeSantis's new proclamation to "pull the plug"on H-1B visas in state institutions, sets a national example, one that could reshape how other states protect their own graduates and taxpayers.
"This is about putting Florida workers and American citizens first," DeSantis declared. "We can do it with our residents of Florida and with Americans."
It's a landmark moment, a state finally standing up to the federal government's decades-long neglect of American labor. However, the H-1B visa is just one part of a much larger system that feeds cheap foreign labor into American jobs.
The alphabet soup of visa programs
The H-1B visa is the most widely known program, allowing companies to hire foreign workers for "specialty occupations" like technology, engineering and business. Legally, employers are supposed to use it only when they cannot find qualified U.S. workers, but in practice, the system has been massively abused to cut labor costs, replacing Americans with cheaper foreign labor.
But the H-1B is just the visible tip of a much deeper structure of foreign visa pipelines. Another is the F-1 student visa, which allows foreign nationals to study in the United States. After graduation, those students can remain in America and work through programs called Optional Practical Training (OPT) and STEM-OPT (for science, technology, engineering and math fields).
OPT is billed as "hands-on training," but in reality it functions as a government-approved work program that lets international students hold real jobs for up to one year after graduation – or three years under the STEM-OPT extension. Employers don't have to pay Social Security or Medicare taxes for these workers, which means they are much cheaper to hire than Americans. In other words, the classroom has become the cheapest recruiting channel in America.
Universities feed the supply, employers feed the demand
The F-1 student visa and its work-authorization offshoots, OPT and STEM-OPT, have become universities' primary gateway into this system. Once marketed as "cultural exchange," these programs now function as revenue engines that allow schools fill classrooms with full-pay international students while giving corporations access to a never-ending pool of low-cost labor.
Each foreign student represents tens of thousands in tuition dollars for universities as well as a tax-free employee for participating companies. Under OPT, neither side pays payroll taxes, saving employers roughly 8% per hire while sidelining American graduates who must compete against subsidized foreign labor on their own soil.
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' FY 2024 H-1B Characteristics Report, more than half of all new H-1B approvals were changes of status for people already inside the United States and 71% of those came directly from F-1 or F-2 student visas.
In plain terms, most so-called "new" H-1B workers aren't being imported from abroad at all; they're former international students who never left. The result is a closed-loop system in which universities import students, employers convert them to workers and the federal government keeps the pipeline open – all while Americans are told there's a "shortage" of talent.
Florida's universities show exactly how these visa pipelines operate in real life.
The University of Florida case study: When 'education' becomes cheap labor
The University of Florida is a case study of how this system operates. In 2024, UF ranked #40 in the nation for international student enrollment with 7,353 F-1 visa holders, according to federal data.
The same year, UF ranked #37 among the Top 200 Employers for OPT and STEM-OPT students, hiring 640 foreign students on OPT and STEM OPT extensions and ranked #43 among the top 100 campuses with F-1 foreign students employed on OPT with 1,675 students working in U.S. jobs through the program.
By comparison, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records show UF filed just 252 petitions for H-1B visas that year. That means most of the university's foreign labor did not come from overseas hiring. Instead, most of the university's foreign labor came from international students already in Florida, who moved seamlessly from classroom to workplace under the F-1 and OPT programs, bypassing American job-seekers entirely.
A new model for protecting American workers
Florida's action follows on the heels of a major federal reform by President Donald J. Trump, who is once again taking on America's broken visa system. On Sept. 19, Trump signed a Presidential Proclamation on the Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers, which imposes new limits on foreign-worker entry under H-1B and other categories.
The proclamation, effective Sept. 21, raised the cost of H-1B petitions by introducing a $100,000 application fee, restricting entry for low-wage positions and granting the federal government greater authority to deny visas that do not serve the national interest. The move aligns with Trump's continuing "America First" labor policy, aimed at reducing corporate reliance on foreign labor and prioritizing American workers.
The state of Florida is the first-in-the-nation to strike against this cycle. By targeting H-1B visas in public universities, Florida has exposed how deeply the foreign-labor system has infiltrated the education sector.
But this is only step one. The F-1 student and OPT work programs are the universities' contribution to the same problem and they've quietly become the largest foreign-labor pipeline in the country. Ending abuse in these programs as well would mean millions of dollars in savings for taxpayers, new opportunities for American graduates and a shift away from the government-sanctioned system of undercutting U.S. labor.
Together, President Trump's federal crackdown and Florida's state-level enforcement create a new model of American labor protection, one that holds universities, employers and the federal government itself accountable for using visa programs in ways that undermine American workers.
Why reform can't stop with H-1B or OPT
For decades, universities and corporations have profited from a revolving door of student and worker visas, turning America's immigration system into an endless conveyor belt of cheap foreign labor. Now, for the first time in years, with federal and state governments finally aligned, that door is beginning to close.
The U.S. visa system has evolved into a sprawling web of programs that reach far beyond H-1B and OPT. Visas such as L-1 (intra-company transfers), H-4 EAD (spousal work permits), J-1 (trainee exchanges) and even investor visas have been quietly repurposed to serve the same purpose, giving employers a steady flow of lower-cost foreign labor at the direct expense of American workers.
If reform stops at H-1B, the system will simply shift to another category. If it stops at OPT, universities will invent new loopholes to keep the profits flowing. The problem is not a single visa program; it is the pipeline itself and the perverse incentives that reward institutions for bypassing U.S. citizens in favor of cheaper foreign alternatives.
America's future wellbeing depends on ending this revolving door of imported labor, student conversion and corporate offshoring once and for all. Every loophole, from F-1 to H-1B to L-1, erodes the promise of equal opportunity for the men and women who built this nation. Florida has proven that real leadership does not wait for permission and President Trump has shown that courage in Washington can still rewrite the rules for the working class.
But this fight cannot end with one state or one proclamation. It must extend to every program, every visa category, every offshore pipeline and every institution that profits from putting foreign workers and foreign interests ahead of Americans. Only when the entire system is dismantled, rebuilt and held accountable will the United States return to what it was always meant to be, a nation that rewards its own citizens first, values honest work and defends the American Dream without compromise.

A justice on the state Supreme Court in Maryland has undermined the public's confidence in that institution by posting on his lawn leftist political ideologies.
Like "Here lies the Constitution," "RIP Freedom of Speech," "RIP Food Aid," "Beware Health Insurance Cuts," "RIP Due Process" and "RIP Climate Science."
Those political agendas all have been in government, the courts and the news recently, and have divided America.
Now is it Justice Peter Killough, an appointee of a Democrat governor, who is pushing the leftism in the public, a move that is raising concerns from those who note that the public expects courts, and justices, to publicly be neutral on controversial topics, regardless of their personal agendas.
The fact that the global warming ideology is prominent especially raised concerns, as the court now is considering a high-stakes environmental fight. In that fight, Baltimore politicians are suing major oil companies under their claims that the corporations misled the public about the role of fossil fuels in what has been claimed to be "climate change."
An official with the court system claimed the signs "belong to Justic Killough's wife."
"No further comments," the official added.
A report at Fox explained, "In an interview with Fox News Digital, former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Andrew Gould said these signs indicate a clear bias on Killough's part and raise serious questions about whether he should be involved in such a high-stakes climate case."
Gould said the display now has "cast a shadow over the decision."
"The public, whatever side you're on, is inevitably going to feel distrust. If it's a case where he has such strong political leanings, then he shouldn't have sat on it. The problem now is … the case has already been argued. The briefs have already been submitted. It's already been sent to the court to issue a ruling. How can you un-ring the bell now?"
It's not the first controversy to engulf Killough. In 2022 he was accused of a "catch and release" agenda to release dangerous criminals brought before him.
The report said, "In one particularly egregious case, he released a 12-year-old who admitted to shooting and killing another teen, giving the perpetrator monitored probation instead of detention."
"People have to believe that judges are fair; they haven't prejudged the case. So, it is a problem.," he said.

The War on Drugs just went LIVE. Victor Avila, former ICE agent and now Assistant Director of External and Legislative Affairs for the Office of National Drug Control Policy, joins Elizabeth Farah to reveal how the United States is finally treating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Avila exposes explosive new policies, including the use of Department of War resources, Homeland Security task forces, and military-grade intelligence once reserved for fighting ISIS and al-Qaeda.
He confirms that Chinese chemicals continue to feed Mexican fentanyl super-labs, flooding U.S. streets with poison, and details the administration's aggressive new interdiction strategy that now targets traffickers far south of the U.S. border.
He also breaks the shocking news that drug traffickers are exploiting the U.S. Mail, UPS, and FedEx to deliver fentanyl directly to homes across America, and explains how new scanning technology is being deployed to stop it.
Elizabeth reacts, challenges, and connects the dots from Beijing to Mexico City to Washington. Together, they expose the scope of the crisis and the unprecedented response now underway.
This is not the old War on Drugs. THIS IS WAR.
