We increased efforts overseas to cut drugs off before they left other countries borders....drug-related arrests are up over 40 percent, the amount of marijuana seized is up about 80 percent, and the amount of cocaine seized has more than doubled.... To paraphrase Joe Louis, they can run but they can’t hide.”

08:10:57 “The mood toward drugs is changing in this country... ...we’ve taken down the surrender flag & run up the battle flag. And we are going to win the war on drugs. Till next week, thanks for listening, & God bless you.
