Hey everyone, I'm David Zia. For real America's Voice news. I'm on the ground in Columbia, South Carolina for a daughter's college graduation from USA Columbia. But I was also on the ground covering for Rav Trump's announcement that he was running for president again right here at the Columbia State House, an historic building where it was shelled in the Civil War by six rounds from the Union Army. Started in 1851, finally completed in 1907. But I got a super show for you today. I was at the moms from Liberty on Ellis island for the America 250 Fireworks Celebration. I've got some fun stuff for you on that. I was also at the White House national drug control policy summit the other day with Sarah Carter and Victor Avalar and Sebastian Gorger. I got great coverage for you. And then I was on the ground at the Pentagon with Pete Hegseth and general Dan Kamer. I got to ask him more questions, questions about the Iran war. And also I'm going to re air part of my interview with general Whiting, the head of U. S Space command from December because it looks like the reports are confirmed the Russians are either working on or have a nuke in space. Stay tuned for a great show.

Welcome back to Breaking Point. I'm David Zier on the ground in Columbia, South Carolina, Historic State House. I was there when Trump redeclared his candidacy in January 28, 2023 for Real America's Voice News. But I've got some great footage ahead for you from my coverage at the White House the other day for the National Drug Control Policy Summit.
Unidentified Prayer Speaker
Dear Heavenly Father, by your Holy Spirit, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, we repent for our sins and the sins of our nation today. Help us to choose life over death, from the womb to the tomb and beyond. Yes, that includes the little babies in the womb, the victims of abuse in human trafficking, drug fatalities, all of the inhumanity to others. We repent. Oh God, Father, help us to be your light and salt, to choose faith over fear. Help us to speak the name of Jesus over artificial intelligence. Help us to go to the throne of God before we go to the phone and speak your truth on AI and to remember that God is looking for evangelists, not influencers, and to overcome evil with good. Heavenly Father, today we pray for all in authority. That's our president, our secretaries, and we see several here today, all of us, that we may live peaceful lives. We remember President Trump's recent words about people getting along and seeking unity that will reduce the temperature and will be a turning point against the animosity that has gripped our nation as a one blood human race of Acts 17:26 we are not colorblind. We celebrate your gift of ethnicity Today we all need to take a breath and seize the day. We can't afford to stand in the wings. Help us to embrace the mantle of authority in Luke 10:19 and do what needs to be done. Forgive us. Revive us, oh Lord, the faith in you hoping you love in you. We pray for unity and healing for discourage of the drug fatalities. Lord God, bless us According to Psalms 103, lead us according to Psalms 23, protect us according to Psalms 91 with the promise of Abraham and the shed blood of Jesus. In Jesus name I pray today. Amen. Hallelujah.
Sarah Carter
It is my great honor to introduce America's Drug Czar, Sarah Carter, who currently serves as the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Prior to this role, she spent many years covering the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. She also played a crucial role in getting the American people insight into the US Mexico border, where she uncovered secret drug tunnels and narcotics trafficking ads used in the drug trade. Her relentless work has led her to become our nation's Drud Czar, serving the American people and protecting families across the country. With that, I would like to welcome to the podium Director Carter. Dan Good morning and thank you for joining us today as we launch the 2026 National Drug Control Strategy. This strategy is more than another policy document. It is a commitment to the American people that we will achieve a shared vision of safe and a healthy America where a drug free life is the prevailing norm. Before we delve into how you will realize this vision, I would like to acknowledge some of our guests here today who will speak shortly. Among those with us today, we have Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner. Thank you so much. Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council, my good friend Dr. Sebastian Gorka, Chief of Staff for the Substance Abuse and Mental health services administration. Dr. Timothy Westlake, Undersecretary of homeland security for strategy, policy and plans, rob law. Commissioner Rodney Scott, a very, very good friend with Customs and Border Protection. Thank you. Principal Deputy Administrator Daniel Salter from the Drug Enforcement Administration. Acting Assistant Director Rodney Crawford from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
DEA Representative
Thank you.
Sarah Carter
Doctor Albeda King, who led our wonderful convocation. Finally, Finally, I would like to thank all of you for joining us here today. After years of watching drug overdose deaths and poisons climb, I am pleased to say that we see light at the end of the tunnel. During President Donald J. Trump's first year back in office, the United States has reduced drug overdose deaths to 70,000. That is mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, our friends and neighbors who are alive today because of the decisive actions taken under his leadership. Drug overdose deaths are now lower than at any point under the previous administration and 40,000 fewer than the peak of the crisis. Make no mistake, this is the great challenge of our generation. It really is. America's longest war. Ventional alone has killed more Americans than we lost in combat during the Second World War. Imagine the magnitude of that. Thank you. God bless President Donald J. Trump. God bless all of you and thank you for joining me here today.
Maria Lynn
Thank you.
Sarah Carter
Our first guest, he is a dear friend to ondcp. He is a former Texas state legislator, my home state, and associate pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas. Prior to his career in public service, he played nine seasons in the NFL. So you got a friend here, right? He has a heart to bring hope and healing to America's families. Please welcome our 19th Secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, Secretary Scott Turner.

Thank you you for your work and thank you for that kind introduction. I'm honored to take part in this launch. As the Director alluded to a President Trump's 2026 National Drug Control strategy. And it is indeed a strategy, and it will be executed upon. Can I get a waiter for me
Dean Cain
by
Unidentified Female Speaker
this is not a group that likes to meet to meet. This is a group that meets to execute, and I'm happy to be a part of it. And the strategy provides cities with tools, partnerships and resources they need to reduce drug trafficking, expand treatment access, to address homelessness, and ultimately to save precious lives, all through a coordinated federal, local and community effort. America needs the President's decisive leadership. Because almost 50 million Americans suffer from drug addiction, the consequences of substance abuse ruin more than the lives of individuals. They ripple out. It's a ripple effect, shattering families, destroying communities, and undermining our entire nation. That's why the President has been relentlessly securing our orders against the flood of drugs that streamed in under the previous administrations. But border control is just one part of his broader strategy. As you all know this administration is pursuing a whole of government approach to end the drug abuse plaguing our communities. And at hud, we are proud to play a part in this effort. We're grateful to have such hardworking allies as our grand and the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Your ONDCP team has been spearheading the president's campaign to keep America safe from drugs and to help Americans recover from addiction. And together, under President Trump and under his leadership, we're going to continue cracking down on drugs and often passed out of addiction and into regeneration, into new life, into rebirth. How many know we could do it? We can. We have to make our mind up. And I see in the fruit there's a lot made up by the day. And so I'm happy to be a part of the revival is coming, regeneration is coming, revitalization is coming. But it's going to take everybody, everybody's hands and feet, feet to the ground and hands to the pile and run these plays to help our country.

Welcome back. I'm David Zia for real America's Voice news on the ground in Columbia, South Carolina. But I was at the White House earlier this week for the National Drug Control Policy Summit and I've got great speeches ahead from Daniel Salter from the dea. Man is this guy on fire. And also Sebastian Gorka. And Trump may have lowered the overdose rate in the United States by up to 30,000 people per year in just a year and a half or so he's been back in office. It's an amazing number and more people were dying in this country every year than died in all the wars combined over the last 70 years. So it was a really special time. Don't go anywhere. Check it out.

So let me just read you one whole segment from the President forward, which speaks to the heart of what Sarah and her incredible team are doing. My illustration has put an unprecedented focus on dismantling threats to the American homeland in our hemisphere. We are no longer permitting cartels and gangs who have poisoned millions of Americans to freely operate in our region or smuggle their drugs, guns or trafficked women and children into our country. Last year I rightfully designated the thirdly cartels as terrorist organizations and began using the strength and power of the US Military to stop and destroy their operations. Our armed forces also demonstrated their incredible power and skill by capturing the narco terrorist outlaw Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, Bringing him to justice in America. We will not let cartels, jihadists or the governments who support them plot against our citizens with impunity terrorists of any kind will not be allowed to find safe harbor here at home or attack us from abroad. That was signed on Monday afternoon by President Trump. Now, I'm a Boji jihadi counterterrorist, Been doing it for about three decades. And it took a little bit of a mind shift for me to think of GE Haddists as not the only terrorists. And to open my aperture with Stephen Miller, our incredible Homeland security advisor, when he encouraged the president to designate a cocktail. But then I did some homework. When I had my TV show, I dedicated a whole episode to the scourge of drugs and carpools. And let me go a little bit deeper with regards to the data that Sarah gave you A few moments ago, I decided to do my homework. I sat down and I researched the number for all US Servicemen killed in action since the cessation of hostilities in 1945. So from the end of World War II to today, so that means Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada, Gulf 1, Gulf 2, G1, all of those conflicts in that 70 year period, 103,000Americans were killed in Ukraine. Well, I programmed at the same time, this is during the Biden years. I said, well, okay, how many Americans have been killed by fentanyl and illicit drugs? And I went to the Biden CDC website and I dug deep. It was there. You have to go down a rabbit hole. It's like 14 clicks later. And I found out. In the second year of the Biden administration, with open borders to the cartels to bring whatever they want into America, in one year, 110,000Americans were killed by trial. Just stop and internalize that. 70 years of armed combat killed less Americans than 12 months under Biden's open border. Open cartel invasion. That is why on day one, my boss, President Trump, designated them as terrorists because they declared war on us first. Let me show you one thing President. Troubles won't stop. The biggest problem we have in the Trump administration. You know the secretary, you know this Sarah. Biggest problem, and I'm not being facetious of flip, the biggest problem is keeping up with the President. We live skiff like I live in a classified compartmented facility. We leave our codes outside, we do our work on our classified systems. Come outside for a breather, look at our cell phones when we go. What has he done now? Peace treaty number eight. How keep up with this man. Why? Because he is determined that by the grace that God has given him to save the greatest nation on God's green earth. And you are part of that. And this is one of his warrior Princesses, God bless you.
Dean Cain
Thank you.
DEA Representative
What an honor to be here to represent administrator called men and women of the Drug Enforcement Administration to be in a room full of heroes. And unlike you, I don't have notes but I'm going for art just like you did my got a porn retina so I can't read anyway. But this is easy for me to talk about because I'm in the room with Dr. King from my time in Atlanta. Thank you you for we did together there to I would like for the angel mothers and the men and women that have lost a loved one to stand up for me please. And I'd also like Mr. Ben gravila stand up. Those you are my heroes. You are DEA's why. Why we do what we do every day to protect Americans. Everybody in this room is here to save lives, save American lives in one way or another. And we're doing a phenomenal job. Why is Victor my hero? Because in February 2011, he his partner HSI ran with Mexico. His partner, God rest his soul, I need a pot of his kill. He's also my why. Why I came back to DEA after retiring for seven years and I wasn't getting ahead. It was an honor when President Trump allowed me to come back to come back and join this fight with these men and women, you and your families that are represented here with our Haidas and our other crime fighters throughout the world. It was an honor to come back and stand and say, hey, this is our why. We have in our hallways at DEA headquarters. If you hadn't been there, we welcome you. Some of the moms have, some of the dads have. Randy will get you over there. You promise not to tackle me. You're safe. It's just that part. I was a little four. I played into my yard all the time. So thank you.

in our hallways, in our. In our. In our. As you enter our building, there's about 7,500 fixtures of children, loved ones lost. And almost on a daily basis, we'll walk down to the lobby and there'll be a mom or dad, a loved one putting some type of memento on the picture of their loved ones. And I remind our young agents that's why we do what we do. If you're successful, you're saving life. One kilogram of fentanyl could kill 50,000Americans. What President Trump did when he put together Homeland Security task force, he organized the largest gang in the world of people crime fighters. They're going to hit these cartels hard and we're Going to hit them really hard. And we've had huge success from Maduro to Adoneto. I could go down the list. Queen. I could go down the list of all these bad, bad people, nefarious people that are killing Americans. And it's fun to come back, be part of this large game, to work with our Homeland Security task forces, with our other agencies, to standing side by side, knowing that when we share our intel, when we share our resources and our expertise, we will be successful. And so I watch and listen to you guys talk and listen to Dr. Corden. Man, it's hard to follow somebody like that. But when you talk, we're all in this book to win it, right? We're all in it. As I said, we are the largest gang. We are gonna. We're gonna hunt these cartels down like they're dogs. They are. And we're gonna let them know. And this can be loud. We're coming. No hidden room is safe. No laboratory in Mexico is safe. Ecuador, Venezuela, they're not safe because President Trump is committed. This drug control strategy gives us a glimpse of what we're going to do to be successful and win this fight. And so I'm so honored to be here. Sarah Todd. Thank you so much, Director, for your. For your leadership. I'm going to deviate. Just a minute. If you don't know Director Carter, you should have seen her when we met with the Chinese. She was fierce because she knows that those chemicals coming from China are killing Americans. And she stood directly across from the vice minister and told him, you better get jacked again. We're not going to laugh. Close your wish. It's an honor to be here in front of you. I'm standing beside you. I stand on so many of your shoulders. Because what you do in your respective positions, whether you're a HYDRA director or whether you're a FBI, it doesn't matter. I stand with you.

David Zier
Welcome back. I'm David Zier. You're watching Real America's Voice News. I'm at the State House in South Carolina, but I was on the ground for the National Drug Control Policy Summit at the White House the other day. I've got some more great footage of that, including Rob Law, the undersecretary for DHS, an actor, ICE agent, and former NFLer Dean Cain.
Department of Homeland Security Representative
What a tremendous event to be a part of at the outset. On behalf of Secretary mullen and the 260,000 men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, congratulations Director Carter and your team on this visionary strategy that will help us protect our communities from fentanyl poisoning and other dangerous illicit drugs. The President has given us a clear goal eliminate this evil from our country. And now, thanks to your great work, we have a strategy that provides a unified effort that we need to ratchet up our actions to safeguard the American people. Due to the open border policies of the Biden administration, the American people have suffered tremendously from violent gangs and criminal cartels trafficking deadly drugs like fentanyl, driving the drug crisis in our country to unprecedented levels. Because of the previous administration's weak and ineffective leadership, the threat posed by narco terrorists, gangs, cartels and other nefarious actors is more complex, more violent, and more interconnected than ever before. These criminals have brought violence, death and destruction to communities across the country, making the impact inescapable. Tragically, no one seems to be more than one or two degrees removed from someone who's been directly affected by this crisis. Previous administrations have talked about obliterating transnational criminal organizations and eradicating the crime, depth and destruction they bring. But only President Trump is the one who took the meaningful action of designating them as the terrorists that they are. These criminal organizations don't respect borders. They threaten all Americans and undermine our way of life.
Dean Cain
My name is Dean Cain and I'm an actor. I apologize for that. I also play in the NFL. Mr. White and Jerry Turner hall of Fame. Nine years, one cup of coffee. I was out as a rookie. But I've had a wonderful career at film and beyond. And throughout my career I played a whole number of different roles. But the most meaningful ones to me personally in real life have been as a father and as a law enforcement officer, kind of the same thing.
David Zier
You're there here.
Dean Cain
Juratic partner was with me when I was sworn in as a deputy sheriff in Cranberry County, Virginia. Thank you very much. So law enforcement people don't know that I, that I do that and why I do that. So when people started to scream defund the police a few years back, it made zero sense to me because I always thought police were the good guys. So I decided to join the police. So I am at her deputy deputy sheriff in Frederick County, Virginia and a reserve police officer in Pocatello, Idaho. Then some folks are disagreement about defunding ICE so I decided to join ICE
DEA Representative
because Watchword officers.
Dean Cain
So many of you here today, you're heroes. You're all heroes to me. So on tv, yes, I am best known for playing Superman and. And while we all may love superheroes, you don't need to fly, you don't need to lift a carp over your head to make a difference. And that's clear here today. The real heroes are folks like you. Everybody in this room, our drug czar, Sarah Carter. The real life Lois Lane. She really is the real life mostly. I mean, look what she's done. Oh, my dog, my doppelganger and my stunt double, Victor Abelard. Come on, let me hear.
Unidentified Singer/Patriotic Speaker
Big sir. You could have had a Kobe.
Dean Cain
But what I love about what's going on here right now, what this whole strategy is, is that it empowers everyday parent people like me to make a difference in the lives of others. We don't need just one superhero. We had millions of ordinary bureaus working together and that is what this strategy does and why I hope that it's going to be a turning point in the fight against drugs. So I'm happy and honored to be here in a room full of heroes. God bless you and thank you.
David Zier
That was a great time in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the West Wing at the White House for the National Drug Control Policy Summit. But I want to show you some questions I got to ask Secretary of War Pete Hagseth and Joint Chief Chairman Dan Kaine the other day at the Pentagon about the Iran War right here. Morning Mr. Secretary. Mr. Chairman, David Zia, real America's voice I wanted to ask you of any of the fast boats that have been either sunk or identified, are there any armaments larger than say small, you know, AK47 type stuff or any anti ship cruise missiles identified? And my second question is if there's a divide between the IRGC and Tehran, is there a way to get Tehran to agree to let us go after the IRGC that is doing these attacks without violating the ceasefire?
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
Well right now anything coming at our crafts, regardless of what's on it has to be defended against and that's the case. I don't know what the exact armaments were on those fast boats.
DEA Representative
Small arms, not nothing significant on the fast butts.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
Rifles are small machine guns. There were some small coastal cruise missiles shot down as well. So there's been, I think there's some frothiness in the beginning aspects of this that were dealt with very directly by our destroyers and we're communicating both overtly and quietly to the Iranians to allow this defensive operation to happen on behalf of the world. There are some actions the IRGC takes sometimes that are outside the bounds of what maybe Iranian negotiators would like. That's their job, to rein that in and ultimately create a condition for a deal. Right? That's not something I talked about in these remarks but that's happening in real time. Iran has an ability to make that deal. But what we're demonstrating with Project Freedom is they don't control the strait. We know Iran is embarrassed by the fact that our blockade is holy and we can run ships through and we're going to help the world run ships through. And if they hold it at issue, the whole world knows who's doing it. It's not us. We're willing to open it up, it's Iran. And that creates a dilemma for them. We hope they make a deal.

down echelon at the edge. But we're still, it's still pretty low level kinetics at this point in time.
David Zier
I was at Spacecom in December of 2025 where I interviewed the head of US Space Command four star General Stephen Whiting and I asked him about whether or not reports were true that the Russians have a nuke in space or are capable of knocking down our satellites in lower orbit, which can bring us back to like the stone ages is not a good thing. But recent stories have emerged confirming that that may be the case. Check out my interview with Steven Whiting. There are reports that the Russians may have a WMD deployable in space.
General Stephen Whiting
We've seen those reports over the last two years or so of potentially putting a nuclear weapon on orbit. And that has been something that was outlawed by the Outer Space Treaty. And so we were very concerned about that. Yes, there's international law aspect but, but we're concerned about it because of how irresponsible such an action would be. It would hold at risk every country's satellite systems. The United States, China, Europe, Japan, even Russia's own satellite systems. So you know, our goal is to make sure we see that that does not happen.
David Zier
What about the EMP threat? There were talk years ago that North Korea may have an EMP space based type weapon. Is that a real threat as well?
General Stephen Whiting
I think EMP is a threat and typically we think of that in terms of an intercontinental ballistic missile. And you know, we don any of those kind of threats whether they're armed with nuclear weapons, EMP weapons or even conventional weapons. And we've seen a proliferation of those ballistic missile threats over the last several years. And that's why at U.S. space Command we, we have satellites and large radars that maintain warning. So any launch of a ballistic missile anywhere on the planet we instantly are tracking that and providing that warning up to the Secretary of War and the President as well as our fielded forces.
David Zier
What an incredible week it's been. Starting out being on Ellis island for the Moms for Liberty with the America 250 Fireworks celebration where 40% of Americans can trace their ancestry back to Ellis Island. It was an amazing night. Statue of Liberty, the Verrazano Bridge, the Manhattan skyline, Ellis Island. 12 million immigrants passed through there legally and it was just a super day. Then on the ground for the National Drug Control Policy Summit with Sarah Carter, Victor Avila, the Deputy director Sebastian Gorker, three NFLers who are now active with the administration. Just another amazing event. And then being able to be at the Pentagon for about a dozen Pentagon briefings where General Dan Kaine and Secretary Wa Pete Hegsa take questions from real America's Voice news. We're blessed and we're honored to be part of it. It's an amazing moment in history. And just remember Trump may have saved up to 30,000 lives a year in his first year and a half back in office with his closed border and rounding up criminal illegal aliens. Also, by taking out the cartels, they mean business. And let's see where the Iran war goes. I think the ceasefire may hold for a little bit. Trump may have to bomb again, but eventually they're going to come to the table. They have no choice. I'm David Zier. Thank you for watching Real America's Voice news. We'll see you next week at the Freedom 250 rededication celebration on the Washington Mall. I'll be there. Thank you.
