1554: The Verger
Senator John Kennedy, DEA Administrator Fentanyl Hearing
Senator John Kennedy grilled DEA Administrator Anne Milgram during a hearing, repeatedly asking if inviting the U.S. military into Mexico would stop the drug cartels. Milgram refused to give a direct answer, leading Kennedy to claim that Mexico would be "eating cat food out of a can" without U.S. trade. The hosts characterize the exchange as "performative grandstanding" and argue that neither party is addressing the root causes of the fentanyl crisis.
