Sarah Carter, the new Drug Czar, details the Trump administration's war on narco terrorists, citing a drop in overdose deaths from over 100,000 to 70,000 through border closures and direct cartel attacks. She warns of lethal threats like xylazine and metamidodine, often adulterated fentanyl sourced from China and India, while Hannity praises Nigel Farage's Reform UK for defeating Labour in Britain. The episode concludes by framing these domestic victories alongside a broader critique of Europe's decline due to neglected security and radical socialism, suggesting a global shift away from unfettered immigration and state failure.

National Security Drug Crisis00:14:44
This is an iHeart podcast.
Guaranteed human.
Power to Sean Hannity show this Friday, 800 941.
Sean is on number.
If you want to be a part of the program, I mentioned earlier how ironic.
If you want to go to the Obama Center or Presidential Library, which may be the ugliest library I think I've ever seen in my life, anyway, to get into that building, you will need a photo ID, a valid ID.
For free admission ahead of the center's June 19th official opening.
Whoopsie daisy.
I mean, ah, but you don't need it for voting.
You don't need proof of citizenship.
I mean, it's insane.
You have three illegal aliens charged in a million dollar heist outside of high end Long Island Mall, which took place outside of Nassau County in New York.
One good piece of news people have gotten the message there is a new sheriff in town.
His name is Donald J. Trump.
And voluntary deportations are up by the tens and tens of thousands.
People realize it's not going to work here.
So that's pretty interesting to watch.
But more importantly, open borders has led to a scourge of drugs, the likes of which we've never seen before.
We have been covering this story for years on this program.
And we know all about China's involvement, we know about the narco terrorists.
That's why the president took out Maduro.
That's why the president has been involved very actively with Mexico, where a lot of the fentanyl, a lot of the other drugs, opioids, weed, all come across the border illegally.
For years on this program, Sarah Carter has been on the front lines of reporting on this for us.
She is now the drug czar and the director of the White House Office of National Drug Policy.
And anyway, they've now come up with a very specific strategy that she has coordinated with the president.
And it is the first time a strategy is grounded in faith for drug recovery, which is critical for people.
I mean, if you don't get rid of your desire for drugs and you don't get off them, people can't be helped, empowering communities, families.
And now that the president has closed the border, the cartels now are being taken on directly, and the president has launched a historic offensive attack against the cartels.
Boat strikes have been these narco terrorists and other strategies focused on reacting to the drug crisis.
I can't think of a better person with all the years' experience in reporting on this and being on the front lines of this than our friend Sarah Carter, who is officially the drug czar, who joins us now.
How are you?
I'm doing great, Sean.
How are you?
Thank you so much for having me on.
I know your days are very slow.
I know you don't work a lot of hours.
I know it's been, you know, kind of boring.
There's not a lot on your plate, but.
I know just the opposite is true.
I mean, if you like Trump, you're probably getting like three hours of sleep a night.
I've learned to get three hours of sleep a night.
I completely understood why.
Welcome to my world.
Yes.
Yes.
And I thought I worked.
I thought I was barely getting any sleep when I was working with you.
You are always on the road, always working hard.
And I was always on the road with you or out in another.
State covering all of these issues.
Like you said, the drug crisis in America, the front line of our border, which was a battlefield in and of itself under President Biden.
By the way, Linda was whining that I was texting stories to her about 3 30, 4 o'clock in the morning this morning.
I'm like, well, I'm up.
I'm working.
I mean, if I'm up, I might as well work.
I think whining is a stretch.
I thought maybe I was having a nightmare, so I reacted appropriately.
I'm sorry.
You woke me up.
Why do you keep waking me up every five minutes?
Exactly.
And I did not call you.
I just sent you a story.
Or 12.
I'll tell you, Linda works.
Harder than anyone I know, too, Sean.
I mean, blah, blah, blah.
I don't even want to hear it.
I just, you know, stop.
I don't want to feed into this at all.
I'll do it.
I'll always stick up for you both.
You know that.
I don't take sides here because I know how hard you both work.
And look, we've seen what the cartels have done to our society.
It's the reason why President Trump designated them foreign terrorist organizations.
It's the reason why, for the first time in U.S. history, and especially in modern political history, we have the most.
consequential president doing exactly what he said he was going to do for the American people.
And that is fight for them every single day.
And that's what I am doing.
That's why I don't feel like I have time to sleep.
You know, there are too many angel moms, too many angel fathers, angel families out there that have suffered the greatest loss imaginable.
I was just at my daughter's graduation from eighth grade, you know, and I'm thinking, like, here's the youngest one of our six, right?
And we have grandchildren too.
And I think about her future and I think about How much suffering has happened in this nation in America's longest war, Sean?
And that is the war on drugs.
That is America's longest war.
We're losing over 100,000 people a year.
And thank God under President Trump this past year, that number has dropped down to 70,000.
But that's still 70,000 souls.
And parents who've lost children because they took a pill they thought was Adderall and they were poisoned and they were killed.
These are terrorist organizations.
They are operating against the United States.
And while we were asleep at the wheel and while President Biden was allowing drugs to flow into our nation at rates that are unheard of, I mean, I don't even think we have a number.
I keep trying to get the exact number.
I know it's hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, in the war, in this America's longest war that these cartels have amassed.
And right now we have a president and this strategy is taking the war directly to these terrorists.
We are cutting the heads off the snakes, but we are not forgetting that we have families.
And children and Americans that are desperate for help that need that help, and we're going to be there for them.
I don't know if you watched the debate, either the gubernatorial or mayoral debate out in California.
We covered a lot of it extensively yesterday on radio and TV.
And I mean, it is remarkable to me that they don't have an answer for any of this except to just let people stay on the street and get their fentanyl, and they're not going to lift a finger to help them.
All harm reduction does, Sean, and I've seen it up.
close and personal in California is actually kill American citizens.
If you want to leave people to death, give them this harm reduction, right?
Allow them to, you know, have someone watching them while they're shooting up with heroin or they're using fentanyl and, you know, allow them to sit there and abuse themselves and abuse their families and abuse their communities because it's not just about the person that's using that suffering.
It's everyone else around them that's suffering.
It's every family member.
It's everybody in society.
We want to lift our children up.
We want to tell them, look, hey, you never need to try this stuff.
You're great the way you are.
There's other ways of handling stress, of working through problems than using drugs or abusing your own body.
And if we're a society that's going to allow people or going to accept the fact that people are not worth the fight, then what kind of society are we?
When I walked down the street and I would do the shows with you, and I remember, you know, interviewing the woman in Kensington, Philadelphia, where people were strewn all over the streets with needles in their arms, where most of the people that were using heroin. had Frank in the heroin or what we call metatomidine or xylazine,
and it was causing necrosis of the skin where I could literally see the bones in their arms and the muscles underneath their skin as it was being eaten away.
What kind of society are we when we forget about those that are the most vulnerable, when our children are getting out of school buses and their parents have to lift them over the bodies that are laying on the streets, when we ignore the elephant in the room?
We can't afford that.
This is a national security issue.
It is the reason why President Donald Trump has put so much focus on this issue and why he has taken it to task because we are watching our nation break from within.
We can't afford that anymore.
We're not going to let it happen.
We're not going to ignore the fact that we have a demand problem.
Yes, do we?
But we have a serious supply problem.
And we are working with our neighbors throughout the Western Hemisphere.
I was recently in Mexico, as you know.
I had a very, very Interesting conversation just today.
I'll let you know the Mexican officials that actually President Scheinbaum had talked about our national drug control strategy and would like to meet with me.
So, this is a global issue, right?
It's affecting not only us, it's affecting everyone else in the Western Hemisphere.
And I think it's important for all of us to understand that.
Wow.
I mean, it really is something that we better understand and we better resolve.
All right, quick break.
Right back, more on this Friday with Sarah Carter, our drug czar.
800 941, Shawn is on number.
We'll get to your calls coming up straight ahead as we continue.
As we continue now with Sarah Carter, our nation's drug czar, officially the director of the White House Office of National Drug Policy, as the Trump administration is taking on narco terrorist cartel members and trying to keep Americans saved from the scourge of drugs that is plaguing every small town and big city around the country.
I don't know if you saw the video of these zombies now.
I don't know what this new drug is.
I think some of it's fentanyl, but there are other drugs.
It's like somebody told me it's meth plus.
Maybe you know more about it than I do because you're on the ground and this is what you're dealing with every day.
That is apparently turning people into complete zombies.
And they had this video of people, I think it was out in San Francisco.
I mean, they're just like walking around.
It looks like a scene from Dawn of the Dead.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
It is xylazine, Sean, and metatomidine.
And one of the biggest parts of our national drug control strategy is emerging threats.
When I came in and we started to put this strategy together, I said, the one thing that I find most important for all of us is that we need to stay ahead of the enemy.
We need to stay ahead of our adversaries.
So what are the emerging threats and how are we going to test for that?
So we've done a preliminary study across the United States.
And I got to say, it was It was an incredible finding and really terrifying findings.
We saw Ryzen xylazine in parts of the United States.
These are tranquilizers that are used on large animals.
We saw metatomidine for the first time in U.S. history.
The ONDCP and the CDC together issued an alert across the United States warning doctors, first responders, and Americans that metatomidine is on the streets, that it is being adulterated into the fentanyl, sometimes on its own.
They call it rhinotrank, rhinoceros tranquilizer, because it is used on large animals.
And these tranks actually cause so much severe long-term damage.
So even if they are using the drug and they they are taken to a hospital.
The person that's using does not die.
It has long-term effects on the brain and on the body.
We want to warn parents.
Talk to your children.
Get out there.
Let them know that this is very serious, that these substances are being found in pills, that if your children or if you borrow a pill from someone, order something online, buy something off the street that is not prescribed to you by your doctor, you are literally playing Russian roulette with your life.
and you may not survive.
And by the way, the Narcan, for those of you who have Narcan, great for you.
I carry it with me everywhere.
It's life-saving.
But remember, it doesn't always save someone's life.
If you don't continue to use it, sometimes these drugs are so powerful that it is difficult to revive someone.
And what happens, Sean, is that when you take these drugs, what causes the person to overdose is the fact that their respiration slows down to such a point that they no longer can breathe.
So they just die by suffocation.
Their breathing apparatus just shuts down.
So the Narcan allows the breathing to come back and their lung capacity, but it doesn't cure the person.
So I want you to realize that this is very serious.
We are seeing poisons across our country from precursor chemicals that have come from the Far East, from as far east as China, from India, from other parts of the world that the cartels are using that in the pills that they're distributing.
And illegally shipping to the United States, smuggling into our country.
So we're at war.
This is a very serious crisis in the United States, and we need to wake up and we need to realize what it is.
Well, Sarah, we can't thank you enough, seriously, for all the good work you're doing.
You are literally saving lives.
We're grateful for that.
Your heart, your soul, your passion is completely in all of this, and we're so grateful that you're in the position you're in.
And we appreciate the updates that you give us.
I know you don't have a lot of time in your busy day, but we appreciate you being with us.
I thank you so much for being there, Sean.
And look, this is the most important thing.
What you're doing right now is getting the word out to the American people and letting them know that there is something that they need to be aware of.
Stop Guessing Your Health00:03:13
And that's what you're doing.
And that's saving.
And I'm going to be with President Trump in China, and I will ask him about this when I interview him next week.
So we appreciate you giving us this update before I go.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Sean.
Good luck in China.
The IRS
scandal and the NSA atrocities convince you.
You need a watchdog on Washington with insider sources.
You need Hannity every day.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program this Friday and health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, longevity, it's on everybody's mind.
But for most people, you know what?
When it comes to your health, most of us, if we're going to be really blunt and honest, we're guessing.
What to eat, what supplements to take, what makes you feel better than others, what things that you eat make you feel better.
You know, why do some foods make you bloated like Linda eating her, you know, drinking her disgusting, putrid, projectile, vomit green kale shakes?
No, she shouldn't never have been drinking them.
And when she got her biome test, it said, oh, you should eat more red meat like Sean has been telling you for years.
Anyway, that's just part of, you know, your body sending you messages.
Now, your DNA, that's your blueprint.
That doesn't change.
It's like your fingerprint.
That's Stays with you for your life, your RNA will actually tell you what's happening in your body right now.
That's where the science of Viome comes in.
It is a simple, scientific, at home gut health test.
They use advanced RNA technology to analyze your gut microbiome and understand how your body's really functioning.
And then from there, Viome will create a personalized food supplement plan designed specifically for your body.
Now, instead of guessing, why not get real data and real science?
Anyway, you follow the plan.
Many people report, oh, I don't have bloating anymore.
I have better digestion.
I have more energy.
My mood, Linda, is improved when you eat what your body is suited for.
Anyway, go to viome.comslash Hannity.
That's V I O M E.comslash Hannity.
If you use the promo code Hannity50, you get 50 bucks off.
You stop guessing, use the science, and start knowing.
And Linda learned that she does not eat enough red meat, which I've been telling her for years.
Well, you want to learn something else that I think you would find interesting and a lot of people would find interesting?
Cool Call John Hannity00:03:21
No, this is actually cool.
I think you'll like this.
So, one of the things that Viome does is it has supplements.
So, let's say it says you have to have like more broccoli or more this or more that.
They can customize supplements just for you that gives you your daily dose of those nutrients from those particular foods, put them into a pill, and you take it and you never have to eat a piece of broccoli if that's what your body calls for.
That's cool.
I'm just saying, that's cool.
Yeah, very cool.
Very, very cool.
All I know is everything I've been telling you for years, you should have listened to.
Sean is always right.
It's my new mantra.
It's my new mantra.
I'm living by it.
You just can't say the words.
You know what, Sean?
You were right.
You were right.
Oh my God.
I told the guys to make a bumper out of it when it's going to go, you know, Sean was right.
We're going to mix it up, you know, like.
How they did when they said, if somebody would just please call Sean Hannity.
Remember when we had that like weird mix up from Trump?
We're going to do that here.
Sean was right.
It's going to be great.
Call Sean Hannity.
We have that tape.
That was, that was actually a, that was so funny.
It would take us a minute to pull it up, but it's here's the creativity of people.
They hear that.
Trump says it.
And then they mix it up and create this.
And it was everywhere.
Oh, well, I was in the room, the spin room.
And all, you know, those are the few moments I have to see the legacy media mob and I don't like them and they don't like me.
And you should see the looks that I get.
And then when I'm so friendly to them, like I'm super friendly, they're like looking at me like they don't know how to react to it.
Because I'm not a jerk in real life.
I don't like them, but it doesn't mean I'm going to be rude.
And so all of a sudden, I hear my name.
And then I hear it again.
And then again and again and again.
And it's President Trump in the debate.
Ask Sean Hannity.
Do you remember who the debate was with?
I don't remember which one it was.
I have to look.
I don't.
I have to look.
That's so funny.
Do you have that, Jason?
I then spoke to Sean Hannity, which everybody refuses to call Sean Hannity.
I had numerous conversations with Sean Hannity at Fox.
And Sean Hannity said, And he called me the other day, and I spoke to him about it.
He said, You were totally against war because he was for the war.
I spoke to John Hannity, everybody refuses to call.
John Hannity, John Hannity.
Nobody calls John Hannity.
I said, The war's a stupid thing.
If somebody would call John Hannity, I spoke to John Hannity.
Everybody refuses to call.
John Hannity, John Hannity.
Nobody calls John Hannity.
I said, The war's a stupid thing.
If somebody would call John Hannity, I said, The war's a stupid thing.
If somebody would call John Hannity, You gotta send me that.
I'll send it to my kids.
I don't ever think I heard the remix vision of remix.
It's so funny.
You should have that as your voicemail, like when people call you instead of it just being that's what it should say.
Oh, that's funny.
Well, you're going to miss me next week when I go to China.
You know, no, I'm not.
You're going to call in every day.
We're going to talk to you every day.
Life Outside Big Cities00:11:05
Okay.
You're going to talk to me every day at three in the morning at night time, just so you know.
That's right.
We're going to get the shower update.
So, how did it go today?
Which swim trunks did you wear?
Do you feel safe in your room?
I'm not going to live my life in fear.
I just refuse.
I'm not doing it.
Hey, I love Nigel Farage.
He's been a friend of this program for a long time.
We keep hearing.
Oh, Donald Trump is unpopular across the Atlantic.
Excuse me.
We have been warning the decline about Europe as a continent and the countries within Europe for a long time, how they've neglected their national security, national defense, how they have never wanted to pay their fair share of NATO, how they've adopted radical socialism, cling to climate alarmism.
They have no moral clarity, even when it comes to the number one state sponsor of terror.
They're absolutely useless.
I think NATO as an alliance is going to collapse of its own weight as a result of their lack of moral clarity.
That's on them, not on us.
You know, how they have allowed unfettered illegal immigration without assimilation in places like Great Britain.
Now they have nearly 100 Sharia courts there, and they have no go zones in France and other countries in Europe.
The continent is declining, and I'm not sure they can fix it at this point.
I don't know.
One person that would be able to do it is Nigel Farage.
Now, This is pretty fascinating because British voters delivered a massive blow to leftist Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
I call him Neville Chamberlain Starmer and his Labour Party in local elections as Trump ally Nigel Farage celebrated massive victories for his more conservative reform UK party across the country.
Remember, they're the ones that got Brexit finished when nobody thought that they could pull that off either.
But early results.
Showing that Labor was hemorrhaging council seats in their former strongholds, losing nearly 260 positions.
And, you know, Nigel Farage's Reform UK racked up close to 400 gains in sweeping political upset less than two years after Starmer's landslide in 2024.
And he said, we're witnessing a historic shift in British politics.
He's not wrong.
And, you know, this is now a huge day, you know, and a complete reshaping of British politics in every single way.
And Farage, by the way, one of President Donald Trump's closest political allies in Europe and a longtime champion of anti immigration politics, he might be the one guy that would follow Trump and say, no more unfettered illegal immigration.
And if you came into the country illegally, get out.
If you don't want to assimilate, get out also.
This is beyond historic.
Let us play Neville Chamberlain Starmers' reaction to this.
And I just wanted to say a few words to you about the results.
because the results are tough.
They are very tough.
And there is no sugarcoating this.
We have lost brilliant Labour representatives across the country.
These are people who put so much into their communities, so much into our party and our movement.
And that hurts.
And it should hurt.
And I take responsibility.
When voters send a message like this, we must reflect and we must respond.
All right, this Friday, let's get to our busy phones.
Eduardo is in my free state of Florida.
Eduardo, how are you, sir?
Glad you called.
Beautiful weather today.
I'm going to miss it next week in China.
Best of luck over there.
But I'm over here in sunny Tampa.
My birthday is Monday.
And I got to say, we're going to hang on to that.
First of all, happy birthday.
Congratulations.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, and it's three years, by the way, since I moved from.
That sewer in Chicago over here to Tampa.
So, thank God I am not in Chicago anymore.
Well, I wouldn't want to be in Chicago either.
I don't know anybody that would want to be in Chicago.
But the reason I caught is we're going to hang on to the House and Senate because that Supreme Court decision in Virginia with the illegal maps.
We're going to hang on.
Everything's going to be fine.
So, I think we'll be okay.
Well, Virginia redistricting is done.
It's over.
You know, what they did was unconstitutional.
Ken Cuccinelli, who will be on later, I mean, he's been great on it.
And he pointed this out in the very beginning.
And now we have every other state because of the Supreme Court decision.
This is very, very, very good news for Republicans.
Very good news.
Yes.
Very good news.
Yes.
That's a good way to start the weekend.
Definitely.
Yeah, good point.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Hope you enjoy it.
Yeah.
Thank you, Sean.
Appreciate the call, my friend.
Quick break, right back.
More of your calls this Friday coming up 800 941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
Roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941-SHOW.
Sean is our number.
Dave, Minnesota, next.
Happy Friday.
Glad you're on the Sean Hannity Show.
Hello, Sean.
It's a real honor to talk to you.
I just called into vent a little bit.
My heart is broken.
I am born.
Your heart is broken.
What do I need to do to help you fix that?
You don't want a broken heart.
That sucks.
Well, get me a plane ticket out of here, maybe.
But anyway, You know, born and raised here in Minnesota, it's a beautiful state.
I live out in the country.
We have Superior National Forest up north, which is really a crown jewel, the boundary waters.
But these out of state politicians come in here, Waltz, you know, they destroyed the state.
