Matt Walsh: “I would support a full-scale military invasion of Mexico to destroy all the cartels”

MATT WALSH (HOST): Why don’t we bomb the drug cartels? Of all the bombings that we do all the time and have done for the last 30 years, why don’t we bomb the foreign criminal organizations that poison and kill thousands of Americans every year? They actually kill thousands of American citizens every year. The drug cartels have killed more Americans by far than all of the, you know, Arab terrorist organizations combined, times, like, a thousand. I don’t know. So, you know, I could justify that military operation more than anything we do abroad or have done abroad for the last 30 years, because this would be a military operation that would be explicitly and directly designed to defend American lives. It would not be done in the interests of a foreign country. It would not be done for our allies — in quotes — but for us, for our people, for our country. We’re basically going to kill the bad guys. And why are we killing the bad guys? Well, because they’re killing Americans, so we’re going to kill them. I don’t know. That sounds like a great idea.

I mean, I’m as knee-jerk non-interventionist as they come, but I would fully support a full-scale military invasion of Mexico to destroy all the cartels. We could do it. What are they going to do about it? You know, it’s not like we haven’t given them time to solve this problem. Thousands of Americans die every year. I think we’re more than justified in saying, you know what, we’ve had enough. We’re going to go in and we’re just going to kill these people. We’re going to wipe them off the face of the earth, and that’s it. But we don’t even have to do a full-scale — I mean, you could use drones. You could do the whole thing with drones. Has there ever been a drone strike — a single drone strike — on a single cartel boss or drug cartel ever? Why not?
