"Look, we're taking out drug boats, right? They've done I think they've killed 87 people doing this, Lambert said. Obama did hundreds, if not thousands of bomb attacks all around the world in different countries on land, killing civilians at the at the time. Now, again, he was going after terrorists, which is what we're doing there. It's Tren de Aragua is who we're going after."
"First of all, it's not Hegseth Derangement Syndrome to say that a former Fox News host shouldn't be leading the most powerful military in the world. Secondly, Obama had an authorized use of military force over a lot of these post 9/11 air spaces. He could do these strikes Pakistan. But third, finally, the the Coast Guard has admitted they interdicted 212 boats since 2024 with no violence, nothing happening."
Hal Lambert, CEO of Point Bridge Capital, claimed media and Democrats are exhibiting "Hegseth Derangement Syndrome" by criticizing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for strikes on suspected Latin American drug boats. Adam Mockler of MeidasTouch pushed back on CNN's Table for Five, arguing Hegseth should not lead the military and noting legal differences tied to post‑9/11 authorizations. The Trump administration has conducted more than 20 strikes since early September targeting groups identified as narco‑terrorists, including Tren de Aragua. Lambert contrasted reported casualty counts with past Obama strikes, and the U.S. Coast Guard reported 212 interdictions since 2024 with no violence.
