‘Don’t Get In A Boat’: Hegseth Threatens Cartels With Deadly Military Strike | APT - video Dailymotion

APT

US Secretary of War Peter Hegseth delivered a chilling warning to foreign terrorist organisations and drug cartels, vowing that the American military will “track, map, and kill” traffickers targeting the United States. Speaking at the Indiana Defence Summit, Hegseth praised Stryker platoons operating alongside Border Patrol agents on the Mexican border and promised relentless military action against drug networks. His remarks come as Washington reportedly plans new missions to send troops and intelligence officers into Mexico — a move strongly rejected by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. #US #petehegseth #apt

00:00We're also taking the fight on the deterrence front to cartels.

00:03My advice to foreign terrorist organizations, do not get in a boat.

00:17If you're trafficking drugs to poison the American people,

00:21and we know you're from a designated terrorist organization,

00:23you're a foreign terrorist and a trafficker,

00:25we will find you and we will kill you.

00:27No one is better.

00:30No one is better at tracking and networking and mapping and hunting

00:37than the American military,

00:40honing those skills for many decades in foreign lands.

00:44Now we're doing it in defense of the American people

00:46with all the authorities.

00:47We've got lawyers on lawyers.

00:49All the authorities necessary to do so,

00:52treating these terrorists like the Al-Qaeda of the Western Hemisphere.

00:55After decades of securing other people's borders,

00:58halfway across the world, we're finally securing our own border in our own hemisphere.

01:03An invasion of over 20 million people from around the world with no idea who they are

01:08is a serious and dramatic national security threat.

01:13That's why we're happy to support mass deportations as well of our friends in federal law enforcement.

01:18But we've also surged our posture to the southern border from minute one to lock that border down.

01:24Our goal is 100% operational control of the southern border,

01:27and every passing day we get that much closer.

01:31Cartels, trafficking, and death, all of it across the border ends.

01:35In fact, for the past five months, as I hope you've heard,

01:38there have been zero crossings across our southern border.

01:42We know who's coming in.

01:49Let me tell you, the morale of the troops down there,

01:51it's been, I've gone down there a number of times to meet with the troops,

01:54to be defending our own homeland,

01:56securing our own border,

01:58in a real-world context with real authorities to do so,

02:01partnering with Border Patrol and Mexican Border Patrol on the other side is motivating.

02:06Our men and women down there love what they're doing,

02:08and that's why we revived the 1918 Mexican Border Medal

02:11to pin on their chest when they're done with a six-month tour down there,

02:15securing the border.

02:16These are not guys, you know, with binoculars who don't have actual authorities.

02:21These are, you know, striker platoons with vehicles and optics

02:24able to come alongside Border Patrol

02:26and assist in arrest of those coming across our border and lock it down.

02:30And eventually, more funding will lead to more infrastructure,

02:33more border wall, which will require less of a footprint.
