For most of my 46 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: life I've heard about a war on drugs, but there 47 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 3: was no war on drugs. Finally we had a president 48 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: with the guts to go fight the war on drugs. 49 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 3: Just the way you fight a war, you go after 50 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: the people who bring it here. Well, I've seen so 51 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: many people affected by drugs. And if you don't want 52 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: to take my word for it, go down to Bollinia 53 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 3: Cats Boulevard, Go down by Newmarket Square, go down by 54 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: Albany Street, go in all these uh uh cities in 55 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: the country where you have all these homeless cities, Well, 56 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: who do you think those people are? And that's just 57 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: the people you see, never mind the affluent families who 58 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: have been stricken by the scurge of drugs. It is 59 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: It is despicable what these people there. They turn our 60 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: people into their life is over once they get hooked 61 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: on that pretty much for the most partect cooks and 62 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 3: and he's turned around, and he's and he's turning and 63 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: and use special forces. And I thought they should have 64 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: done this all along. Go into the places like Columbia 65 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 3: and go into places like uh uh, Mexico and use 66 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: our intelligence and go after these people. This is something 67 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: that needed to stop a long time ago. And we've 68 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 3: got so many politicians and I'm sure they were probably 69 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: all on the democratic democratic side, because that's the most 70 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: criminal enterprise, uh in the world, taking get taking money 71 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 3: and getting rich off of drugs. You know that this 72 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: is why for for for a long time, a lot 73 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 3: of people didn't want to do anything about it because 74 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: too many people were making were getting rich of it. 75 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: But the affect that's out of this country, it has 76 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: been has been devastating. And then and God bless uh 77 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: uh that's Trump. This is one of the greatest things 78 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 3: he's done. But but what are we giving these people 79 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 3: trials for? They don't deserve trials. This is terrorism. When 80 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: are we going to turn around and change our laws 81 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: about terrorists. We're stupid in the way we give people 82 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 3: rights who don't deserve rights. You know, rights are for 83 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: American citizens, not terrorists terrorists, and we should stop wasting 84 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: our time. You know, our judicial system in this country 85 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: is a joke. It's ridiculous. And and if we're going 86 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: to have a trial and in New York City. What 87 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 3: the hell are we bringing him to New York City 88 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 3: for to begin with? You know, we do this to 89 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 3: ourselves all the time when we we we we set 90 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: ourselves up for controversy. And you want to know who, 91 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 3: and you're going to find out and we already know 92 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 3: they're starting to speak out the UH about this operation. 93 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: Every every politician who's against it, that's a trader, that's 94 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 3: somebody who's making money off of it. And this is 95 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: this is how you this is how you find out 96 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: who the people are because you're you're either with its 97 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 3: right drug dealers or or you're with UH, you know, 98 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: helping American children who get who get hooked on drugs. 99 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: And I've known so many families devastated, people who've even 100 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 3: would work for me in the past. You can't imagine 101 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: how how families are destroyed, especially tarns who see who 102 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 3: am helpless they help their children. If you haven't seen 103 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: it first and over and over again, you can't you 104 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 3: can't really relate to it. And it's one of the 105 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 3: saddest things that's happened to this country. And God bless 106 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 3: Donald's Trump. Now he's not going to make a Venezuela greater. 107 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 2: I mean, I hope you're right. I mean, I hope 108 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: it's just the way he likes to phrase things. In 109 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: other words, we're going to be in, We're going to 110 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: be out. Six one seven two six, six, sixty eight. 111 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: Sixty eight is the number. Okay, do you support Trump's 112 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: decision to depose Maduro and his wife, both of whom 113 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: obvious they were involved in narco terrorism and massive international 114 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: cocaine trafficking and really ran Venezuela right into the ground. 115 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: Impoverished Venezuela, Maduro and his predecessor, Chavez, turned one of 116 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: the wealthiest, most prosperous, fledgling democracies in all of Latin 117 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: America and turned it into an absolute Third World hell hole. 118 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: Eight million migrants fled Venezuela, not just to the United States, 119 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: to neighboring countries, it didn't matter. They went to Mexico, 120 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: they went to Chile, they went to Argentina, they went 121 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: to Brazil. All this guy was he couldn't export the 122 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: oil because they destroyed that infrastructure and mismanaged it. But 123 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: all they were able to export was people. So you know, 124 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: by the way, I'm looking at video right now, which 125 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: the media is refusing not to show. 126 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 7: Of. 127 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: I mean, Caracas is there are There's at least a 128 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: million people on the streets.

And it's not just in Miami, and 133 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: it's not just in Las Vegas, and it's not just 134 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,599 Speaker 2: among Venezuelans all across Latin America who've been forced to 135 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: leave their homeland. This is Venezuela itself. The people are celebrating, 136 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 2: They are cheering the downfall of this communist despot and 137 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: narco terrorists six one seven two six six sixty eight 138 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: sixty eight.

If I was a Venezuelan, yeah, before it, 140 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: you better believe it. I'd before it.

We cannot have 168 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 6: it overrun by the Chinese and the Iraqians, Iernians, whatever 169 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 6: hell they are. 170 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 3: Right. 171 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: Well, look, deb look, I understand your point of view. 172 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: And Rubio, I think, has been very eloquent. He's made 173 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: a very similar argument. And haig Seth has done the same. 174 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 2: And the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Dan Kane. I mean, look, 175 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 2: this would be my response. It's not that I don't 176 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 2: see it, Look don't I just don't see an imperative 177 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: for us to do something like this. And I'll tell 178 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 2: you why. The Iranian regime now is on the ropes. 179 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 2: Their economy is in free fall, their currency is collapsing 180 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: as we speak. The country now is ravaged by some 181 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: of the biggest protests in decades. They're talking now that 182 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: the Supreme Leader may be forced to leave Iran and 183 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 2: fly to Moscow. So Iran has been shattered. Trump broke 184 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 2: their back when he bombed their Iranian nuclear facility. Their 185 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: proxies Hamas and Hezbollah have been destroyed. The Iranian economy 186 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: now is in complete shambles. So Iran does not pose 187 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 2: a threat to US in the Western Hemisphere. Now Iran 188 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: has been in Venezuela for twenty five years. Russia has 189 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: been in Venezuela for twenty five years. China has been 190 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: in Venezuela for twenty five years. So we've managed to 191 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: live with them in Venezuela for twenty five years. Russia 192 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: now has been severely weakened with the war with Iran. 193 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: China now because of Trump and the tariffs and the 194 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: economic pressure we've put on China. China now is weaker 195 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 2: now than it has been in years. So when you 196 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 2: say to me or people say to me, well, Jeff, 197 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 2: aren't you worried about Hesbela, Yes, but there's more Hezbolah 198 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: in the United States than there is in Venezuela. That 199 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: Hezbolah came in through Joe Biden, through our southern border. 200 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: So if we're gonna fight Hesbelah, forget Venezuela, fight him here. 201 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 2: China has bought up so much of the United States, 202 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: forget Venezuela. They own half of Congress. They're snatching up 203 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: farmland right near military bases. So you know, we have 204 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: so many domestic problems that I'm looking at Venezuela and 205 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: I'm like, and we got to take on Venezuela. Now 206 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: it's not Look the easy part and it was a 207 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: brilliant there's no question. But the easy part is to 208 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 2: kick a dictator out. That's the easy part. The hard 209 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 2: part is running a country, and from our experience, we 210 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: have not been good at that. We just haven't. We haven't. 211 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 2: Now everyone says, well Trump is different, Well we'll see, 212 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: but look, I think he's biting off. Frankly, I think 213 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: he's biting off more than he can chew. And what 214 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: also concerns me, and I was going to get to 215 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 2: this in the next segment, but since you mentioned a 216 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 2: deb it's not even one and done. I'll read to you. 217 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: Trump came out on truth Social last night and said 218 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: we now have to take over Greenland, and then on 219 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 2: Air Force One he was asked about this and he said, well, 220 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: in the wake of what we just did in Venezuela, 221 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 2: we're now going to potentially make a move on Greenland. 222 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: And Greenland is owned by Denmark. Well, the Europeans are 223 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: going ballistic, so we're now going to make a move 224 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: on den on Greenland. Now he's talking about toppling the 225 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: Colombian regime. Now, Rubio has come out and said that China, sorry, 226 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: that Cuba better watch itself because we may overthrow their government. 227 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: Deb This is George W. 228 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 3: Bush. 229 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: This is Bushism. This is not trump Ism. This is 230 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: a This is George Bush's foreign policy. This is warmongering, 231 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: This is militarism, this is neo conservatism. This is US 232 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: now getting involved in the regime change business. And I 233 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: think we're gonna find out. I don't care who the 234 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: president is. When you start taking responsibility for entire other countries, 235 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: you're asking, you're begging trouble. And if things were so 236 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: great at home, I'd say, well, okay, but man, we've 237 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,479 Speaker 2: got a thirty seven to thirty eight trillion dollar national debt. 238 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 2: We've got thirty million illegals that still haven't been deported. 239 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: We've got a cost of living crisis that has now 240 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: cost to Republicans what is it now, three elections. That's 241 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 2: what got Mamdani elected in New York. You've got polls 242 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: now saying that at this pace, Trump is going to 243 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: get slaughtered in the midterms because the American people are 244 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: disaffected with the way he's handling the economy, and they 245 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 2: perceive that he's too involved in foreign affairs. I see 246 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: No arrests over Russia, the Russia collusion hoax, No arrests 247 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: over January sixth, how they tried to frame the president. 248 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 2: I see no deep state criminals being arrested. The swamp 249 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: is as strong as ever, the deep state is as 250 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: strong as ever. So all I'm saying is, honestly, I 251 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: did not vote for US to take over Venezuela. Now 252 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: as a Venezuelan, I'd love it. As an American. What's 253 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: in it for me? Well, Hesbola, yeah, but we have 254 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: Hesbala here. Well, China, yeah, but they've been there twenty 255 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: five years. Russia, they've been there twenty five years. So 256 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: what has changed that all of a sudden we had 257 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: to make a move on Maduro and I there's no 258 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: so far, I haven't heard a compelling reason from this 259 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 2: administration why we had to do this now? Why now? Like, 260 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: what's what has changed in the last two months that 261 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: this has now become such a prerogative. Now I was 262 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: four blowing up the boats, blow up the votes. I 263 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: don't care. I don't want drugs coming in. But we 264 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: went from blowing up the boats to blowing up the 265 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 2: country and now we're running the place Okay, just give 266 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 2: me a couple of minutes and then I want to 267 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: go right back to the phone lines. So President Trump, now, 268 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: it's very clear, is laying down the Trump corollary to 269 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: the Monroe doctrine. It's very clear. This is a new 270 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 2: foreign policy doctrine that we are seeing born in front 271 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: of our eyes. And the Monroe doctrine has been a 272 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 2: pillar of American foreign policy, as most of you know, 273 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: for centuries. And in one line, the Monroe doctrine says 274 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: that the Western Hemisphere is America's backyard. It is our 275 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 2: sphere of influence, and we will not allow any other 276 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: great power, whether it be a European great power or 277 00:17:53,920 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 2: China or whoever, to ever dominate or violate our sphere 278 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: of influence. What Trump is now doing, and he's calling 279 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: it the Donroe doctrine after Donald Trump, the Donroe doctrine 280 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 2: is the Western Hemisphere will not just be a sphere 281 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 2: of influence. It will be for America now a sphere 282 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 2: of dominance that we are going to have stable countries, 283 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 2: hopefully prosperous, democratic countries in which every other foreign power 284 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: is going to be eventually pushed out, and the United 285 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 2: States will be the pre eminent, decisive leader and power 286 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 2: in the entire Western hemisphere. He now says, in the 287 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 2: wake of what happened in Venezuela, Greenland must become part 288 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: of the United States. As he put it, Russian and 289 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: Chinese ships are all over Greenland. He's now given an 290 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 2: ultimatum to Denmark hand it over. We'll pay you cash, 291 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 2: a cash offer, but we want Greenland, and we want 292 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: it as soon as possible. He then threw down the 293 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 2: gauntlet regarding the socialist, really narco terrorist that's running Colombia. 294 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 2: He's a Marxist, an ally of Maduro, an ally of 295 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: communist Cuba. By the way, that's where most of the 296 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: cocaine is made. It's not in Venezuela. It's in Colombia 297 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: and they process it and then Venezuela is the one 298 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: that traffics it. But much of it is made in Colombia. 299 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: Listen now to President Trump. Asked by a reporter just 300 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 2: a few days before the US military operation that ousted Maduro, 301 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: Trump told the Colombian president to watch his rear end 302 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 2: I'm cleaning it up a little bit because he could 303 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: be next. 304 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 3: Well. 305 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: After Maduro was deposed, the media asked, are you doubling 306 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 2: down on that? Are you telling the Colombian leader that 307 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 2: he could be toppled as well? Listen to Trump's response 308 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 2: Roll cut eight Mike. 309 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 8: Oh In response to the United States taking sanction oil 310 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 8: from Venezuela, Columbian President Gustavo Petro, he criticize the United 311 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 8: States by saying, well, the Southwest is stolen land and 312 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 8: that it should be returned to Latin America. I just 313 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 8: wanted to know what your response to that. 314 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 7: Well, he has to watch because you know he's got 315 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 7: drug factors. They make cocaine in Colombian and he's no 316 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 7: friend of the United States. He's very bad, very bad guy. 317 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 7: And he's got to watch his ass because he makes 318 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 7: cocaine and they send it into the United States of 319 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 7: America from Colombia. We love the Colombian people. I love 320 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 7: the Colombian people. They're great people, energetic, smart, great But 321 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 7: their new leader is a trouble banker and he better 322 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 7: watch it. You better close up those cocaine factors. If 323 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 7: at least three major cocaine factors, we know where they are, 324 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 7: he better close them up fast. 325 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. So basically he's throwing down the gauntlet. You could 326 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: go the way of Maduro, and just like we topple 327 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 2: that regime, we may just topple the Colombian regime. Now 328 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: it went from Venezuela, Colombia. The lynchpin is Communist Cuba. Okay, 329 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 2: That's always been the lynchpin for Marxist revolution all across 330 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 2: Latin America. So the question then was, well, okay, if 331 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 2: Maduro falls and then the Colombian Marxist strong man falls, ultimately, 332 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 2: do you want to get rid of the regime in Cuba. 333 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: Listen now to President Trump saying if I were the 334 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: Communist leaders of Cuba, I would be very worried. Roll 335 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 2: cut fourteen, Mike, is a message for Cuba and deals 336 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 2: can own well. 337 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 4: Cuba is an interesting case. Cuba is, you know, not 338 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 4: doing very well right now. That system has not been 339 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 4: a very good one for Cuba. The people there have 340 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 4: suffered for many, many years. And I think Cuba is 341 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 4: going to be something we'll end up talking about because 342 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 4: Cuba is a failing nation right now, very badly failing nation, 343 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 4: and we want to. 344 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 3: Help the people. 345 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 4: It's very similar in the sense that we want to 346 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 4: help the people in Cuba, but we want to also 347 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 4: help the people that were forced out of Cuba and 348 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 4: living in this country. 349 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: So, in other words, what they the model of Venezuela 350 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: could be applied to Columbia and now could be applied 351 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: to Cuba. Listen now to Marco Rubio, because he then 352 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: stepped up to the podium after Trump spoke. As you know, 353 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: Rubio is a Cuban American has been itching to get 354 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 2: rid of the Castro regime or the the the leftovers 355 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 2: of the Castro regime, the communist regime in Cuba, and 356 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 2: now he's throwing down the gauntlets saying, yeah, if I'm 357 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 2: in Havana, I would be very worried right now, roll 358 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 2: caught sixteen. Mike, I just. 359 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 9: Gave you a statement a few minutes ago about you know, 360 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 9: when the present speaks, you should take them seriously. It' 361 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 9: suffice it to say, you know, Cuba is a disaster. 362 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 9: It's run by incompetent see now men and in some 363 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 9: cases not seen now, but incompetent. Nonetheless, they has no economy. 364 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 9: It's in total collapse. And by the way, you know 365 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 9: they were you know, all the guards that helped protect Maduro. 366 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 8: This is well known. 367 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 9: Their whole spy agency all that were full of Cubans. 368 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 9: I mean they basically, it's amazing this poor island took 369 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 9: over Venezuelan. In some casees one of the biggest problems 370 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 9: of Venezuelans have is they have to declare independence from Cuba. 371 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 9: They tried to basically colonize it from a security standpoint. So, yeah, look, 372 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 9: I lived in Havana and I was in the government' 373 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 9: be concerned. 374 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: This could be the beginning of multiple regime changes. Now 375 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: we'll see obviously, you know, look, it's one thing to talk, 376 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: it's another thing to do. But clearly what you're seeing 377 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 2: now is a new foreign policy, the Trump corollary the 378 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: Donroe doctrine, the Trump corollary to the Monroe doctrine. And basically, 379 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 2: now he's got Cuba unnoticed, Columbia unnoticed, Greenland unnotice. Now, 380 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 2: to me, this is bush'sm You can call it whatever 381 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 2: you want, dress it up how you want. We're in 382 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: the regime change business or in the nation building business, 383 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 2: and we're in the war business. And to me, this 384 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: is a new form of American imperialism. Now it could 385 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 2: be good imperialism. Imperialism just by itself doesn't mean it's 386 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: bad sometimes other countries really do need a benevolent guidance 387 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 2: or a benevolent takeover so they can be properly run 388 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 2: for a while and then be allowed to eventually govern themselves. 389 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is we're now in the business 390 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 2: of meddling in the internal affairs of other countries. I 391 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 2: didn't vote for this. I'm gonna be honest with you, 392 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: I didn't vote for this. Now, if Denmark really wants 393 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 2: to sell Greenland, yeah, of course, adding Greenland and it's 394 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: rare earth minerals would be a huge strategic asset for 395 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 2: the United States. But now we're starting to come across 396 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 2: like we're bullying Greenland. We're bullying Denmark, almost giving them 397 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 2: an ultimatum that, h that's not my America. We're a 398 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 2: very big country. We have the most resources of any 399 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 2: other country in the world. Frankly, we don't need Venezuelas oil. 400 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 2: We don't need Columbia's coffee. Even Greenland's rare earth minerals, 401 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 2: it'd be great to have them, but we don't need them. 402 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: So to me, look at our cities. They're dying. Look 403 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: at the people who are dying from the fentonal epidemic, 404 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 2: which is coming from Mexico, not from Columbia or Venezuela. 405 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 2: We have all of these illegals that have been allowed 406 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: to come in. You look at our infrastructure forget you know, 407 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 2: rebuilding Venezuela's infrastructure. Look at our infrastructure, Look at our roads, 408 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 2: look at our airports, look at our bridges. So to me, 409 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 2: come home America. Focus on American problems for the American people, 410 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 2: and let's not keep gobbling up other countries or other 411 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: territories or toppling other regimes. Because that's what destroyed Bush's presidency, 412 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: and my fear is it may destroy Trump's. Just my opinion. 413 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 2: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. 414 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 2: Brooks in Florida. Thanks for holding Brooks and welcome. 415 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 5: Good morning. It's so great to have you back. You're 416 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 5: kind of our north star for starting our mornings, and 417 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 5: it's great to hear you. 418 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you Brooks. Although today the audience not 419 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 2: agreeing with the cooner Man, but that's okay, go ahead, Brooks, 420 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: go ahead, my friend. 421 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 5: You know, Jeff, it's not that I think you're bringing 422 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 5: in some tremendously valid valid points. And because it's Cooner country. 423 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 5: We're all kind of coming to the dinner table and 424 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 5: listening to one another, and I'm in favor of it. 425 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 5: I wrote down some quick notes. I'll go through them fast. 426 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 5: One thing that I wish Trump would have talked about 427 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 5: a little bit more was the links to dominion through 428 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 5: the voting apparatus in connection to Venezuela. So it used 429 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,959 Speaker 5: to be Smart Mattics. There's been a lot of lawsuits 430 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 5: about this. They're talking very you know, they're not discussing 431 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 5: it enough, but there's going to be a tie in 432 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 5: through George Soros, through Venezuela, through Smart Mattos and Dominion 433 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 5: Dominion sue the whole world. You know, all you have 434 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 5: to do is just mention their name. And I don't 435 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 5: even want to talk about it on your program too much. 436 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 5: But anyway, that aside, I think we've got some mining, 437 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 5: some digging to do about the twenty twenty election, how 438 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 5: it connected to dominion through Venezuela. My next point is 439 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 5: the drug trafficking connections, not just through Venezuela, but it's 440 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 5: also to the cartel, and how does that link to 441 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 5: our DC politicians. Trump is beyond frustrated that we're not 442 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 5: able to get any prosecutions. So this might lead into 443 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 5: Maduro looking for a softer lifetime sentence, in other words, Canaryism. 444 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 5: He's going to have to talk. This might potentially give 445 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 5: Trump some doors to knock on in regards to our 446 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 5: corrupt and dirty politicians in connection to money laundering, specific 447 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 5: to the Colombian cartel and the Venezuelans. The other point 448 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 5: is that it is a display of military might, and 449 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 5: that's something that we need to really pound at Zelenski's head. Elections, elections, elections, 450 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 5: something that Trump has really been the bridge to talking 451 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 5: to Zelenski about. Okay, so he's another corrupt player. So 452 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 5: absolutely we're flexing muscle here and it's good pr The 453 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 5: other thing too, is that I think it's really important 454 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 5: we have to get back to the simplicity of it's 455 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 5: the economy. Stupid Trump already has these deals in place 456 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 5: with the oil and gas companies. Okay, so let me 457 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 5: talk you off the cliff here a little bit. And 458 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 5: I love your points too, But when we get into 459 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 5: the midterms, we're down to three hundred days, right, so 460 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 5: they could get hole of this country and immediately start 461 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 5: impeaching Trump. We have to keep them away from impeachment. 462 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 5: We have to keep the Democrats away from getting the 463 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 5: control of the House. If Trump has connections with these 464 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 5: oil deals with these oil companies to start getting the 465 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 5: oil back on the market out of Venezuela that we built, 466 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 5: by the way, that was our infrastructure. That's going to 467 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 5: lessen fuel prices immediately. So I think we're going to 468 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 5: start to see some of that. It's the economy stupid 469 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 5: buffer and help us get through the midterms. Our friend 470 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 5: author Arthur from Arthur talked about it, which is the 471 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 5: American pride and the war on drugs, and I thought 472 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 5: he did a great little peace on that and anyway, 473 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 5: so those are my talking points I would love to 474 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 5: hear your your feedback on. 475 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: First of all, honestly, I think you should be running 476 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 2: Trump's communications shop because I think the arguments that you're 477 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 2: making are good arguments. The one about dominion and how 478 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 2: they were running things from Venezuela and the twenty twenty election, 479 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 2: that is extremely important. That is extremely important. That to 480 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: me is something that if you could break that wide open, 481 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 2: then again I'd have to have second thoughts about my 482 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 2: opposition to this. Number one. Number two, I thought your 483 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 2: other points as well are very very good. They're excellent points. 484 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 2: Now look this, Look we'll see. How do I say this. 485 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 2: This could either go two ways. It's either going to 486 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 2: go very well, which obviously is what Trump is banking on. 487 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 2: And if it's a relatively smooth transition, and we can 488 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,239 Speaker 2: get our experts in and get the oil companies in 489 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 2: quick and modernized and you know, basically renovate and rebuild 490 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 2: their oil infrastructure and get the oil flowing out of 491 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 2: the ground, that will have an impact on global energy prices. 492 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 2: And Trump will say, you see, I told you so. 493 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 2: And I think Trump would then turn around and say, look, 494 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 2: we have the United States, which has some of the 495 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 2: biggest reserves of oil and natural gas. Now we also 496 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: have Venezuela essentially in our sphere of influence, you know, 497 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: under our influence control if you want, and they have 498 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 2: the largest reserves of oil in the entire world. It's 499 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: heavy oil. It's not light or refined oil like you 500 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 2: see in Saudi Arabia or the Middle East where you 501 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 2: just you know, I don't want to oversimplify it, but 502 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 2: it's almost like boom, pump it out of the ground. 503 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 2: It's almost ready to go Venezuela has a lot of oil. 504 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 2: More even in Saudi Arabia it's heavier oil. You got 505 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 2: to refine it more so it's a little more expensive 506 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 2: to extract and refine. But the fact is they have 507 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 2: the largest deposit of oil reserves in the world. In 508 00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 2: the world, by the way, how the hell can you 509 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 2: have a poor country with that much oil? Like to 510 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 2: show you how incompetent and destructive communists are. It's liquid 511 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 2: gold man, you know, Like, look, I'm not a fan 512 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 2: of the Saudis or Katar, or the uae or Kuwait. 513 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 2: I think these are primitive medieval civilizations. But even those 514 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 2: primitives are not so primitive as these communists. Say what 515 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 2: you want. People in Saudi Arabia are rich. In Qatar, 516 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 2: they're rich. In Kuwait, they're rich because even they're like, hmm, 517 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 2: take the oil out of the ground. Sure, we keep 518 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 2: a lot for ourselves for the sheikhs, but you give 519 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 2: nice checks to everybody else who lives in the country. 520 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 2: And this way, who's going to overthrow us because we're 521 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 2: making them so filthy rich. So even they know how 522 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 2: to redistribute the oil wealth to their own people, not 523 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 2: these communes. It reminds me very much of Ukraine under Stalin. 524 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 2: For a thousand years, Ukraine was the bread basket of Europe. 525 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 2: It's wheat and grain, and they fed the whole world. 526 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 2: By the time the Communists are done in three years, 527 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:22,240 Speaker 2: there's famine in Ukraine, famine, food shortages, grain shortages. They're 528 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 2: importing wheat and grain. So it's you know, whatever communists touch, 529 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 2: they destroy, Okay, but let that go. The point is 530 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 2: we can say to the world we control most of 531 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 2: the world's oil reserves. We've got a great alliance now 532 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,919 Speaker 2: with Saudi Arabia thanks to Trump. We've got a great 533 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 2: alliance with Katar. Thanks to Trump. We've got Venezuela's oil 534 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: reserves that our oil companies are now directly drilling out 535 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 2: of the ground. And we've got all the oil here 536 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 2: in the United States. So that will give us tremendous 537 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: in fluence on the world stage. There's no question you 538 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 2: add in Greenland for rare earth minerals. And I think 539 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 2: Trump looks at himself as sort of like a twenty 540 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 2: first century version of Theodore Roosevelt. I acquired territories for 541 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 2: us that made the United States bigger, stronger, more dominant 542 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 2: in the world. So if it goes smooth, there's a 543 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 2: big upside. There's no question I could see the appeal. 544 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 2: But if things go south, and I don't just mean 545 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 2: if there's a civil war or violence breaks out, but 546 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 2: if the oil infrastructure is not being developed or modernized 547 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 2: the way we like, and then you have remnants of 548 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 2: the Maduro regime who start attacking the oil infrastructure. So 549 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 2: now we got to put in more troops, and then 550 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 2: our troops start to get picked off, and then Venezuela 551 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 2: begins to to send slowly into instability and chaos and disorder, 552 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 2: and then the people begin to turn on us, because 553 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 2: remember there's a lot of hostility and suspicion of the 554 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 2: gringo what they call Yankee imperialism. It's deeply ingrained in 555 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 2: Latin America. So if the people begin to perceive us 556 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:29,919 Speaker 2: not as liberators but as imperial masters who are mismanaging them, 557 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 2: then we could have a real internal rebellion and revolt 558 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 2: on our hands. Then it's going to consume Trump's presidency, 559 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 2: you see. So look, that's why I'm generally skeptical, cautious 560 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 2: by nature. I'm truly quote conservative in every sense, of 561 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 2: the word. I don't like regime change. I don't like 562 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 2: nation building. I think it's very high risk. But look, 563 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 2: only time will tell, Brooks. This is one of those issues. 564 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 2: We'll know in about six months, six eight months, will 565 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 2: really know is it going well or is it going bad. Now, 566 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 2: if it goes well, then I think Trump will go 567 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 2: down in history as Donald the Great. But if it 568 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 2: goes bad, he may go down as Bush two point zero. 569 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 2: And that's what scares me because I remember the first 570 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 2: years of Bush. It all seemed to be going so well, 571 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 2: and then the wheels just came off. So and look, 572 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,880 Speaker 2: the other thing is this, Brooks. I know Mark or Rubio. 573 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 2: Rubio is a neo conservative. I know some of the 574 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 2: people that are whispering now in Trump's ears. These are 575 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 2: Bush loyalists or people who are close to the neo cons. 576 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 2: You know, when I look at who's supporting this, John 577 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 2: Bolton supports this. The Wall Street Journal editorial page, which 578 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 2: hates Trump, supports this. The Carl Roves, the Fox News, 579 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 2: the globalist warmongers, they love this. So I'm looking at 580 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 2: that Republican old guard and I'm saying, why do they 581 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 2: like this so much? And I think they're hoping that 582 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 2: they've captured the president. I hope they're wrong, but we 583 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 2: shall see. But to me, I don't want to see 584 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 2: this become Bush two point zero. And if things go 585 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 2: bad in Venezuela, this could be Bush two point oh 586 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 2: all over again, and that, to me, would break my heart. 587 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 2: He ran against Jeb Bush initially in twenty sixteen, he 588 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 2: took control from the Bush Cheney wing of the Republican Party. 589 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 2: And now we're getting policies that remind me of a 590 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 2: lot of the Bush Cheney wing.
