1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Good morning, Cooner. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 2: Contrary, Okay, my friends, very dramatic developments now are unfolding 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: around Venezuela in the Caribbean as the United States now 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 2: is engaged under the Trump administration. This is clearly now 5 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 2: being driven by President Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, 6 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 2: and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: As I speak to you, now, the. 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 2: United States is engaged in the greatest military build up 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: in the last three decades in the Caribbean, and it 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: is aimed specifically at toppling the communist dictatorship, the anti American, 11 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: frankly brutal dictatorship of Nicholas Maduro, that thug who now 12 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: runs Venezuela with an iron fist. And so yesterday Trump 13 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: and bounced again through Pete heg Seth, another lethal strike 14 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: by the US military against a boat, killing six people 15 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: on board that they say we're trying to traffic or 16 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 2: smuggle drugs, in particular cocaine into the United States. And 17 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: over about the last month or so, there have been 18 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: six strikes now six against these boats tied to the 19 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: Maduro regime. These are the drug cartels, terrorists trendor Arragua, 20 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: who are trying to smuggle some fentanyl, but mostly cocaine 21 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: coming in from Colombia. It's made in Colombia and then 22 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: from Venezuela as a transshipment point. They then try to 23 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: bring it into the United States. President Trump now says 24 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: that drugs are a scourge, that our country now can 25 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: no longer take all of these drugs that are pouring in, 26 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: that it is killing over one hundred thousand Americans every 27 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: single year, and that the Maduro regime has unleashed not 28 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: just the use of drug trafficking, but that Meduro now 29 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: is directly involved with drug cartels in an effort to 30 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: send these poisonous, elicit drugs into America to kill American citizens. 31 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: Trump now has told Congress in private that we are 32 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: effectively at war with Venezuela. And what he said is 33 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: Maduro now is trying to sow chaos in America. That 34 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: he is now deliberately releasing people from prisons, mental institutions. 35 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: He's been doing it now for years, first under Biden, 36 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: but he continues in order to send them into the 37 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 2: United States to sow chaos, to wreak havoc, to kill Americans, 38 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: to harm Americans, to overdose Americans, and that now we 39 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: are effectively now in a covert war against Maduro with 40 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: the hope of overthrowing his regime. Now to understand the 41 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: full context, in August, Trump delivered a secret directive to 42 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth in which he gave heg Seth essentially two objectives. 43 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: Number one, to have the Pentagon and the Defense Department, 44 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: working with Marco Rubio in the State Department, to do 45 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: everything in their power to foster the anti Maduro resistance, 46 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: the pro democracy, pro freedom movement opposed to his brutal 47 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: regime in Venezuela, with the goal of regime change. So 48 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: we want to overthrow Maduro. Trump now has made the 49 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: calculation that Maduro is trying to export Marxism communism, he 50 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: wants to be now the new Fidel Castro of the 51 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: Western hemisphere, and that he's trying to export revolutionary Marxism 52 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: across Latin America, South America, Central America, even into Mexico, 53 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 2: and that he poses now a clear national security threat 54 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: to the United States. The other point that he told 55 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: or the other objective he laid out for Pete Hegseth, 56 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: is that he ordered now a massive military build up 57 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 2: with the goal eventually of being able to launch strikes, 58 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: missile strikes, airstrikes deep into Venezuelan territory, to target Maduro himself, 59 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: to target the headquarters of the rug cartels, to target 60 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: these cocaine or drug labs. In other words, he is 61 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: now putting the screws into the Maduro regime. So here 62 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 2: is now how things stand. I'm just going to lay 63 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 2: out the facts, and then i want to hear from you, 64 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 2: the great audience of Kooner Country, whether you think we 65 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,679 Speaker 2: should pursue this policy or not pursue this policy. As 66 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: I speak to you now, there are ten thousand military 67 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: troops US troops stationed in the Caribbean. It's been a 68 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: build up now over the last six weeks. The only 69 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 2: other time we had this many troops was when we 70 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: invaded Panama, if you remember, under the first Bush Bush 71 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: forty one in nineteen eighty nine, to overthrow Manuel Norjega. Apparently, 72 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 2: now about another ten or fifteen thousand US troops are 73 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: going to be deployed to the southern Caribbean. So we're 74 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: looking now now probably by in a couple of weeks, 75 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: twenty to twenty five thousand US troops. We have now 76 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: three destroyers in the Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela. 77 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: These are guided missile destroyers. One of them was just 78 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: recently used by US against the Houthis to prevent them 79 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: from targeting commercial shipping if you remember in the Red Sea. 80 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: Well now they've and they was inactively involved in killing 81 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: Houthi rebels and Houthy terrorists. Now that's off the coast 82 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: of Venezuela. There are now about a dozen F thirty 83 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: five B fighter jets US fighter jets that are ready 84 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: to strike at will. There are Reaper drones that are 85 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: now patrolling the sguise off of the Venezuelan coast. Furthermore, 86 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 2: we have a special operations unit been confirmed that is 87 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: now operating on the border of Venezuela that could be 88 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: sent in immediately, say for a quick strike, or for 89 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: maybe to arrest Maduro or to assassinate Meduro as well. 90 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: We are conducting now surveillance flights over Venezuela. We are 91 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: actively now spying on the regime and the military movements 92 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: of the Maduro regime. So clearly now there's no question 93 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: we have deployed navy assets, military assets. We are building 94 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: up our forces in the region. Trump would like to 95 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: see Maduro go. Most Republicans in Congress would love to 96 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: see Maduro go. Meduro himself has now come out and 97 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: said that we are effectively at war with the United States, 98 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: a covert war, and he is now warning the United 99 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: States that if they should launch strikes within Venezuela, that 100 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: this will be an official declaration of war. He will 101 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: mobilize his army about one hundred and twenty five thousand 102 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 2: men and listen to this. The indigenous peoples, the Native 103 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: American Indian populations, I swear to you of Venezuela, many 104 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: of them who live in the jungles of Venezuela. He 105 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: is going to turn them into his brigades, in which 106 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: he says he will use them almost like kamikaze fighters 107 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: to go after American forces that are stationed right near 108 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: the border of Venezuela. As he told a rally just 109 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 2: last week in Caracas, the capital quote, if the gringos strike, 110 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: we will respond with everything that we have. And so 111 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: now is gearing up for a potential war. He apparently 112 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: now is also working with Marxist rebels and groups gorilla 113 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: groups in Colombia. They're also helping to traffic drugs into 114 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: the United States, but militarily now they are going to 115 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 2: be working with these Marxist gorilla groups in Colombia who 116 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: are now being allowed to set up bases within Venezuela 117 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 2: to help the Maduro regime survive and strike back should 118 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: we decide to try to topple the Venezuelan strongmn. So 119 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: this is now where things stand. I want you to 120 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: listen now to President Trump saying, in fact, let me 121 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: play the clip on the other side. 122 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to rush it. 123 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 2: But essentially now he has publicly said Maduro has to go. 124 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 2: He has to go for two reasons. He is trying 125 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: to deliberately destablize the entire Western hemisphere by working with 126 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: these drug cartels. And he is killing Americans by sending 127 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: in drugs, by sending in trendur Aragua, and by working 128 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 2: with other cartels to kill Americans or as many Americans 129 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 2: as possible. And so, as far as Donald Trump is concerned, 130 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 2: you want to win the war on drugs. You want 131 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: to stop the cocaine and the fentanyl that is poisoning 132 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: our people and killing about one hundred thousand a year. 133 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: He says, you have to cut off the head of 134 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: the snake. 135 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 2: And the head of the snake, according to Donald Trump, 136 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 2: is Nicholas Maduro, this strong man of Venezuela, who now 137 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 2: is working, according to multiple media reports, with nine nine 138 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 2: of the largest narco terrorist organizations. Six one, seven two, six, 139 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: six sixty eight is the number. Okay, Venezuelan. Now it's 140 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,359 Speaker 2: back in the news. There was another big strike yesterday 141 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 2: against a boat carrying a drug smugglers. This was a 142 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: lethal military strike launched by the US military. Pete hag 143 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: Seth under orders from President Trump gave the order the 144 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: command to take it out. It is now the sixth 145 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 2: boat that has now been hit with an American either 146 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: they dropped a drone, drop the bomb on a boat, 147 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 2: or direct missile strike. It's the sixth boat that has 148 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 2: now been obliterated. Twenty seven people have been killed. These 149 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: are all drug smugglers. So far, thank the Lord, no 150 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: American forces or soldiers have been hurt. Maduro now has 151 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: called this extra judicial killings, saying that these are Venezuelan 152 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: citizens that are being targeted. Of course, they deny that 153 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 2: theug that they're smuggling drug or that these are drug traffickers, 154 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: and so as far as Maduro is concerned, the Venezuelan 155 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: regime now says they are effectively at war with the 156 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: United States. He is telling his people to get ready 157 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 2: for a potential US invasion or for US missile and 158 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: airstrikes deep within Venezuelan territory to take out the headquarters 159 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: of these big, large cartel organizations and some of their 160 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: massive labs where a lot of the drugs are produced 161 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 2: or upgraded, and then they are shipped from Venezuela into 162 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 2: the United States. Now there's also talk about Argentina. Malay, 163 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: the leader of Argentina, is in trouble. The economy of 164 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: Argentina is not doing well, and now Malay is asking 165 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: for essentially a twenty billion dollar bailout. Trump has now 166 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: come back and said I probably will give them a bailout, 167 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: but it is contingent upon Malay winning reelection. In other words, 168 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: if the socialists are going to come back to power, 169 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 2: if the hard radical Marxist left that drove Venezuela into 170 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: the ground after decades of misrule, if they come back, 171 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 2: I'm not going to give him twenty billion dollars because 172 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: that's just money down a rat hole. So they were 173 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 2: talking a little bit about Argentina and whether Argentina will 174 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: be getting a twenty billion dollar bailout from the United States, 175 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: and then of course it pivots from Argentina to Venezuela 176 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: because the Maduro regime is trying to destabilize the Malay 177 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 2: government in Argentina. That's one of the things Maduro now 178 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 2: is actively doing. He's taking the place of Fidel Fidel Castro, 179 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: and so he's trying to export Communist Marxist revolution across 180 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: the West in hemisphere, and he's partnering with the largest, 181 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: most powerful drug cartels to do it. Listen now to 182 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: Trump when asked by a reporter, what is your plan 183 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: for Venezuela and for Maduro its dictator in particular? 184 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: Roll cut six, Mike, you talk about the. 185 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: Argentina and important in the Latin American What is your 186 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: plan for Venezuela? But is the new the terrorism and 187 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: narco trism in the president Maduro? 188 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: What is your plan? 189 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 2: Venezuela has done a couple of things very barely. Number one, 190 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 2: we get drugs and all of that, but we get 191 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: something in a way worse because they're a big purveyor 192 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: of drugs. 193 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: But we have worse. 194 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 3: What they do very well is they send their criminals 195 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: into the United States. 196 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: And they send trend de Ragua that you know very well, 197 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: you're from Venezuela, I say, And they send them in 198 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 2: by the thousands, literally, and these are the worst of all. 199 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: And they emptied their prison into the United States. They 200 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 2: empty their mental institutions into the United States. Now, he 201 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: then went on saying that this occurred under the Biden regime, 202 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: that this was an absolute disaster, that Biden has blood 203 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 2: on his hands. And then he said something has to 204 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 2: be done to stop trender Aragua and to stop Maduro 205 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: from sending all of these drugs and all of these 206 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: criminals and all of these gangs and all of these 207 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 2: transnational organized criminal organizations from killing our citizens here at home. 208 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: And he just left it at that. Now, as he's 209 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: talking with once, you know, as he's talking about getting tough, he's, 210 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: as I said, engage now in the biggest military build 211 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: up that we have seen in the Southern Caribbean, which 212 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: is all aimed at Venezuela. In the last thirty years. 213 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: We are really. 214 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: Now starting to load up on destroyers, on drones on 215 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: F thirty five fighter jets. There's now a marine expeditionary 216 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: force that has now been sent very close to the 217 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 2: Venezuelan border. There's a special operations unit that I said 218 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: is now as I said in my opening monologue, is 219 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: now operating right on the border of Venezuela. 220 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: We are conducting. 221 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: Spying plant there's spy planes, Espionage surveillance from the air 222 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 2: is twenty four to seven around the clock. Meduro is 223 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 2: clearly feeling the pressure, there's no question, and he is 224 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: mobilizing his country, anticipating either missile air strikes within his 225 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 2: country or in an attempt to eventually destabilize and overthrow his regime, 226 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: or maybe even a full scale invasion. Now two points, 227 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: and then I want to open it up to the 228 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: great audience of kuner country. The Trump administration and the 229 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 2: lawyers at the Pentagon are arguing that if Trump wants 230 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: to overthrow the Meduro regime or launch missile and airstrikes, 231 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: I'm not just talking about targeting the boats that are 232 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: trafficking drugs and these drug smugglers, but to actually hit 233 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 2: deep within Venezuelan territory, to go after these cartel headquarters. 234 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: Or these generals that are close to Maduro, that they 235 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: have the legal rationale and the legal basis to do so. 236 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight 237 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: is the number. Okay, President Trump now beating the drums 238 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: of war against Venezuela. And the question now is should 239 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 2: the United States engage in regime change in Caracas? Six 240 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. So, 241 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: as I was saying just before the break, Trump's people 242 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 2: are convinced the Pentagon, in particular, their legal team has said, 243 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 2: no Venezuela now by bringing in Trendor Aragua and these 244 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 2: transnational criminal gangs who have now been designated as foreign 245 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 2: terrorists or foreign terrorist organizations killing Americans here, that we 246 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: have a right to defend ourselves, and that Trump has 247 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: the entire legal basis, both domestically and internationally to launch 248 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: missile strikes, to launch air strikes, to conduct more lethal 249 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 2: strikes on these boats that are smuggling drugs. As I 250 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 2: said yesterday, they showed the release the satellite imagery of 251 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 2: another strike on one of these boats, killing apparently six 252 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 2: narco terrorists on board who were smuggling or trying to 253 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: smuggle cocaine into the United States through the Southern Caribbean. 254 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 2: We are now in a massive military build up. Trump 255 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 2: clearly now doesn't want to just target boats. He wants 256 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 2: to hit the Maduro regime. He wants to hit the 257 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 2: Maduro regime very hard. Now, before we get into the 258 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 2: should we shouldn't we, there is also one very important 259 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 2: element to this story. Meduro and his top generals literally 260 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 2: not figuratively, literally sit atop one of the biggest, wealthiest, 261 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 2: most powerful drug cartels in the entire Latin American world. 262 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 2: It is called the Cartel of the Suns, and they're 263 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: engaged in narco terrorism. They are engaged in producing fentanyl, 264 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 2: in shipping cocaine. Drugs is their business. It's a multi 265 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,719 Speaker 2: billion dollar business. Maduro and his generals have enriched themselves 266 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: so while their people are starving, while their people are 267 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 2: emserated and living in slums and poverty, Meduro and his 268 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 2: generals are getting very rich and very fat off of 269 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: the billions of dollars that they're involved in regarding drugs 270 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: and narco trafficking. They also use a lot of this 271 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: money to pay for these private militias and gorilla groups 272 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 2: that Meduro now is backing, and that he's created in Venezuela, 273 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 2: in Bolivia, in Colombia to expand his own personal socialist 274 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 2: slash communist empire. So he, in the sense, is not 275 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 2: just the leader of a country. He's also a narco terrorist. 276 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: He's almost like the head kingpin of the biggest drug 277 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 2: cartel in the entire Western hemisphere. So we're not just 278 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: dealing with a leader, We're actually dealing with a drug 279 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 2: cartel overlord. So, in other words, Maduro is many things. 280 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 2: He's not just a thug and a dictator. Now furthermore, 281 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 2: and I want to thank Andy for making this point, 282 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 2: because Andy messaged me maybe about ten minutes ago, and 283 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 2: he said, Jeff, if you remember the last election in Venezuela, 284 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 2: Maduro stole the election, he engaged in rampant voter fraud, 285 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: election theft he lost. The world said he lost, and 286 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,239 Speaker 2: so he has very little to no popular legitimacy and 287 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: very little popular support in Venezuela. And that's one of 288 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 2: the things Pete Hegseth and Rubio are stressing to Trump 289 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 2: that if we were to make a move for regime change, 290 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 2: they're convinced that most Venezuelans would welcome it, and that 291 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 2: goes to Maria Machado. Maria Corrina Machado, if you remember, 292 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 2: won the Nobel Peace Prize last week, and she accepted 293 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 2: the award in Trump's honor and dedicated it to Donald Trump, 294 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 2: and she delivered a speech in which she said, one 295 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 2: of the reasons why Maduro is on the ropes, one 296 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 2: of the reasons why, one of the key reasons why 297 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 2: the Maduro opposition, the Democratic opposition is now surging in Venezuela, 298 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 2: is because of the covert support that they've been given 299 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: by Trump and by the Trump administration. And Machado is 300 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 2: waiting in the wings to replace Maduro should the Maduro 301 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: regime fall. Maduro, by the way, went absolutely berserk berserk 302 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: when he found out that Chado had won the Nobel 303 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: Peace Prize because that's his arch enemy, that's the leader 304 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 2: of the Democratic opposition against him, and he referred to her, 305 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 2: I kid you not as a quote unquote demonic witch. 306 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 2: And he has put a bounty on her head, calling 307 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 2: for her to be killed and assassinated. 308 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: Now Trump and. 309 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: The administration have put a fifty million dollars bounty on 310 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: Maduro's head, saying that anybody who provides information that will 311 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 2: lead to Maduro's arrest will be given fifty million dollars. 312 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: And so Maduro now is increasingly paranoid that maybe one 313 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: of his generals or people close to him will turn 314 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: him in or give away his location where the Special 315 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 2: Operations Forces American Special Operation Forces can then be sent 316 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 2: in in a surgical amission to arrest Maduro and bring 317 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: him to the United States. And so Maduro now is 318 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 2: worried that someone in his inner circle may betray him, 319 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 2: and so he's becoming now increasingly paranoid. So he's under 320 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: tremendous pressure. His regime is buckling. There's no question. He 321 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: is now on the air in Venezuela, NonStop urging resistance, 322 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 2: calling up the military, mobilizing the military, and basically waiting 323 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 2: now for Trump to make his next move. Now here 324 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 2: is where I stand on this issue. And then I 325 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 2: want to open up the phone lines six one seven two, 326 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 2: six six, sixty eight sixty eight. I can't stand Maduro. 327 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: I want Maduro to fall from power. I think it 328 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 2: would be a great thing, honestly for the people of Venezuela, 329 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: for the people of Latin America, frankly for the United 330 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: States and for the entire Western hemisphere. But I have 331 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: to tell you I have no appetite whatsoever for another 332 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 2: war pushing regime change. It didn't work out for us 333 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: in Afghanistan. It didn't work out for us any Rock. 334 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: It didn't work out for us in Libya. It's not 335 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 2: working out for us in Syria. We have been burned 336 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 2: by regime change wars again and again and again. And yes, 337 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: it'll be easy, I think, to overthrow the Maduro regime. 338 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: But then what then what? 339 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 2: Because you know the expression, once you break it, you 340 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 2: own it. So our troops are going to be committed 341 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: to staying in Venezuela to oversee the transition to a 342 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: democratic government, to oversee the transition to elections. And you 343 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 2: look at the cities in Venezuela that are very densely populated, 344 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 2: poor slums. 345 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: It is, it is perfect territory, the. 346 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 2: Jungles, the high Andean peaks, those huge mountains for the 347 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 2: Marxist left and these gorillas to wage gorilla war like 348 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: was done for example in Iraq, and just pick off 349 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: our soldiers. 350 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: One by one by one by one. 351 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: If the Venezuelan people want to rise up and overthrow Maduro, 352 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 2: God bless them. But what we should do is continue 353 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 2: to destroy these boats, continue to launch lethal strikes on 354 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 2: anyone trying to transport drugs into our country. But we 355 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 2: should not be in the regime change business. And finally, 356 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: let me just say this, if there is a decision 357 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 2: to start launching military strikes into Venezuela or to go 358 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 2: for a regime change, it needs to have the full 359 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: approval and authorization of Congress. On seven two six six 360 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 2: sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, my friends, 361 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 2: let me ask you. It is the Cooner Country Poll 362 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 2: Question of the Day sponsored by Marios Marios Quality Roofing, 363 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 2: Siding and Windows. Is the United States already at war 364 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: with Venezuela? Obviously an undeclared war, probably, you know, a 365 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 2: covert war. But is the United States already at war 366 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 2: with Venezuela? A? 367 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: Yes, B no. 368 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 2: You can vote on our web page WRKO dot com 369 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: slash Cooner Wrko dot com slash Cooner Kuhn As a 370 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: national er. You can also vote via x and again. 371 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 2: Last night I was very active on x my handle 372 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 2: all one word at the Kooner Report. At the Cooner Report, 373 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 2: kuh And as a national er, I'm a yes. If 374 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 2: I was to vote in this poll, I would say 375 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 2: to me without question, we're in a war in everything 376 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: but name. It's a covert war, it's a secret war. 377 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 2: It's a deadly war, and I think it's only going 378 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: to get deadlier as time goes on. And already now 379 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 2: you've got about another ten to fifteen thousand US troops 380 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 2: on their way into the Southern Caribbean to bolster the 381 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 2: ten thousand troops that are already there. You have three destroyers, 382 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 2: you have over almost a dozen now f thirty five 383 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 2: fighter jets, You've got drones. I mean, it's just we 384 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 2: are loading up now around the periphery of Venezuela, and 385 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 2: I think it's only a matter of time before missile 386 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 2: airstrikes are launched inside Venezuela to take out these cartel headquarters, 387 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 2: to take out Maduro's generals, to start to go after 388 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 2: the Maduro regime, and maybe even Maduro himself. Six one 389 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 2: seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Now I 390 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: want Maduro to go, Please don't get me wrong. I 391 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 2: want us to continue to hammer these these boats that 392 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 2: are trafficking drugs into our country. I think we have 393 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: the full right to do that. We need to do that. 394 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,719 Speaker 2: But if we're gonna do a regime change a, I 395 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 2: don't like it. We've had a bad history with regime change. 396 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 2: I think right now Trump needs to focus on Antifa. 397 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 2: He needs to focus now on the government shutdown. He 398 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: needs to focus on getting the economy back on its 399 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 2: feet completely because the midterms now are going to be 400 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: here quicker than people realize. He's got to put America 401 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 2: first completely, and the deportations are critical, and so you 402 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 2: have the resistance that is growing. In Chicago. Last night, 403 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: much more violence was done, great violence. Greater violence was 404 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: done against ICE agents. They're trying to tear down a 405 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 2: security fence. More obstructionism, more ICE agents being targeted, more 406 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 2: ICE agents. 407 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: Being sent to the hospital. 408 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 2: I think right now we need a war with Venezuela 409 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 2: like we need a hole in the head. I don't 410 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 2: want another war to derail from our domestic priorities. So 411 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 2: if we're going to have a regime change war, I'm 412 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 2: against it. And if we're going to have one, I'm sorry, 413 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 2: but I think Congress does. Congress needs to weigh in. 414 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 2: That's what the Constitution says, and we need, at a minimum, 415 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 2: a declaration of war. If not a declaration, at least 416 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 2: an authorization, and the people's representatives should vote. The American 417 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 2: people should have a thorough debate whether we want to 418 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 2: go to war against the Maduro regime and get involved 419 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 2: now in another country and their internal affairs, and god 420 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 2: knows how many troops will die there. So you know, 421 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 2: I'm against. I'm against the war. I'm against the regime 422 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: change war. But if we're going to have a war, 423 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 2: at least let Congress authorize and approve the war without 424 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 2: congressional authorization. I'm sorry, it's an illegal war, just my opinion. 425 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. Six one seven two 426 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 2: six six sixty eight sixty eight lines are loaded, Larry 427 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 2: in Arkansas.

How's it up there? 431 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: You know what, Larry? 432 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not in the eighties, but I gotta 433 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 2: say it's not bad. I mean, it's raining, which is depressing, 434 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,479 Speaker 2: but it's you know, for fall, it's fairly mild. 435 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: Larry. 436 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 4: That sounds good. So I want to come at this 437 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 4: at a different angle to start with, and I hope 438 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 4: you can give me some levity. I started listening to 439 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 4: conservative talk not talk shows, but yeah, talk shows, but 440 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 4: radio found Sean Hannity Rush, how thirty years ago or so? 441 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 4: Do you your take what was going on in Venezuela 442 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 4: thirty years ago? 443 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: You're talking about nineteen ninety five? Yeah, round, then, Larry, 444 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 2: My understanding is they were they were doing quite well right. 445 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 2: They had a fledgling democracy, they were building up a 446 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 2: middle class. Venezuela was on the move. They're sitting on 447 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: a ton of oil. They were starting to extract a 448 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 2: lot of oil from the ground. And then I think 449 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 2: it about, what is it two thousand ish, two thousand, 450 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 2: two thousand and one, they elected Chavez. And when they 451 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: elected a socialist, the communist like Chavez, the way New 452 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: York is about to elect mom, Donnie, Venezuela went right 453 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 2: down the toilet. 454 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? 455 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 4: Larry? You are corrector even more important, you brought it 456 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 4: up the oil. Does your audience realize Venezuela was number 457 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 4: two an oil production, right behind Saudi Arabia. Number two 458 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 4: in oil production means billions for a country. That also 459 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 4: tells Bill and Sudberry the Glocester boys Bendover, who we 460 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 4: haven't heard from an ageist. It only took two generations 461 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 4: thirty years to destroy it, to produce an oil country 462 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 4: in the world. Socialism killed it. That's what they're facing. 463 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 4: Just a few years ago, we're hearing stories about people 464 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 4: robbing the zoos for food. They're eating the zoo animals. 465 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 4: That's how bad Venezuela is. And instead of trying to 466 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 4: use legitimate means oil production, like you said, a growing economy, 467 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 4: this and that the second guy. Majority of my opinion, 468 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 4: it's worse than Chavez is keeping his people starving under 469 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 4: his thumb by using drug cartels to produce drugs, to 470 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 4: sell drugs to make their money instead of the oil industry. 471 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 4: And they're doing that, going to do that to New 472 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 4: York by putting on Mandami. Is that his name? I 473 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 4: can't keep up and so to answer your question, we 474 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 4: have to stop him. I don't know. I'm not like 475 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 4: you said, I'm not a big fan of going in 476 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 4: the ground World war, declaring war, but we need to 477 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 4: tighten the reins and make it miserable for him until 478 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 4: their own people rise up and remove them. 479 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 2: Well, you know, Larry, I you know, to be brutally 480 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 2: honest with you, this is the thing I find frightening 481 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 2: about the American left. 482 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 4: Mom. 483 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 2: Donnie is an admirer of Maduro. You can look it up. 484 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,760 Speaker 2: He admires him. Chavez, his predecessor who died in twenty thirteen. 485 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 2: Chavismo is what it's called. He's basically a Venezuelan Castro, 486 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 2: and Maduro picked up from Chavez. He was his anointed 487 00:35:53,600 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 2: successor after Chavez died. AOC is a big admirer of Maduro. AOC, 488 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 2: by the way, CNN now is going to do a 489 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 2: big event to toite on the shutdown a town hall 490 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 2: with AOC and Bernie Bernie Sanders. Bernie big admirer, not 491 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 2: just of Castro. He's a big admirer of Chavez and 492 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 2: he's a big admirer of Maduro. So the Democrats now 493 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 2: are putting people at the very pinnacle of power that 494 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 2: literally admire not just the Third World Marxist thug and murderer, 495 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 2: but someone who has driven that country into the ground. 496 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 2: And as you rightly point out, Larry, they were at 497 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 2: one point the number two producer of oil in the 498 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 2: entire planet. The place is swimming in oil. I mean, 499 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 2: forget cocaine or fentanyl or you know, and getting involved 500 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 2: with the drug cartels. All you got to do is 501 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 2: get the oil out of the ground. 502 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,399 Speaker 1: That's it. 503 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 2: That's it, and the country is going to be flushed 504 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 2: with cash. But these communists are so freaking destructive and 505 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 2: so incompetent and so fanatical that literally now Venezuela imports 506 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 2: oil and this happened. I don't want to get to 507 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 2: astray here, but this is what happened to Ukraine under 508 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 2: the Soviet Union. For centuries before the Soviet Union, before communism, 509 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 2: Ukraine was the bread basket of Europe. Literally, it fed 510 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 2: Europe bread, wheat, grain. The Communists come in, collectivize everything, 511 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 2: destroy everything. They begin Ukraine had to import grain. The 512 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 2: Soviet Union had to import grain by the time these 513 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 2: communists were done. I mean, I'm not trying to exaggerate, 514 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 2: but most of Ukraine is a giant wheat field. It's 515 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 2: very fertile land. It's why they have so much wheat, 516 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 2: or at least they did before the Communists came in. 517 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 2: Venezuela is essentially ground on top of oil. That's what 518 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 2: Venezuela is. I mean, this could go on for hundreds 519 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 2: of years, that the kind of prosperity Venezuela should be 520 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 2: one of the most prosperous countries in the entire Western hemisphere, 521 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 2: and instead they're one of the poorest countries in the world. 522 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 2: Their people are starving. You're right, they're raiding zoos, eating giraffes. 523 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 2: The elephants are all gone, that was the first to go. 524 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,879 Speaker 2: But they're eating giraffes just to feed themselves. They're going 525 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 2: around in karrakes, they go through garbage cans and get, 526 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 2: you know, the scraps of food from the garbage cans. 527 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 2: So that's what happens when you elect these kinds of 528 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 2: people to power, and these idiots in New York, the 529 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 2: financial capital not just of the United States but arguably 530 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 2: the world. And you guys are gonna put in a 531 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 2: guy like mom Donnie thirty three years old, a punk, 532 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 2: a punk who has never held a job in his 533 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 2: entire life. The guy has never held an honest job 534 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 2: in his entire life, and you're gonna put him in 535 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 2: charge of New York City. 536 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: We we. 537 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:36,800 Speaker 2: So, uh, Look, Larry, fentanyl is killing us the cocaine 538 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 2: is killing us. These drugs are killing us. I know 539 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 2: exactly where Trump is coming from, these Mexican drug cartels. 540 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 2: I've been saying this for a long time. We have 541 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 2: to declare war on the cartels. And Trump is now 542 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 2: doing that, and he's executing a lot of their leaders. 543 00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 2: We're conducting covert operations taking them out. He's disrupting their traffic, 544 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 2: their supply routes, he's blowing up their boats. In fact, 545 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 2: now it's becoming so dangerous. Trump is right, he's saying, 546 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 2: watch now, they're going to try to come in through land. 547 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 2: We're gonna have to interdict them now through land, and 548 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 2: the only way they can come in is through the 549 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 2: Mexican border or through the Canadian border. And so we 550 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 2: got to be ready. But if we get involved in 551 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 2: internal Venezuelan politics and we overthrow the Maduro regime. With 552 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 2: the topography, the terrain of Venezuela, you've got these jungles, 553 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 2: you've got these Andean peaks, these mountains, you've got these 554 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 2: densely populated slums in city after city. 555 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: These Marxist guerrillas. 556 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 2: Can hold up there and they can fight for decades 557 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 2: and decades and decades and they can just pick us 558 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 2: off one by one by one. Look, if we have 559 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 2: to fight a war, we'll beat Venezuela. We'll beat them 560 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 2: in twenty four to forty eight hours. But honestly, we 561 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 2: got so many problems here at home. When I read this, 562 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 2: and I'm like, please, don't tell me we're going for 563 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,280 Speaker 2: another war. Like I am worried out, I am sick 564 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 2: of war. We've got to start focusing on problems here 565 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 2: at home. And I know drugs is a big issue, 566 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 2: but we can interdict the drugs and not get involved. Now, 567 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 2: if the Venezuelans want to rise up, and they have 568 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 2: a wonderful leader in Machado, she's honest, she's a patriot, 569 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 2: she's brave, she's smart, she's competent, she's tough, that's a 570 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 2: different story. But it's going to be up to the Venezuelans. 571 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 2: We can't be the policeman of the world. I mean, 572 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 2: we just we can't. 573 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: We can't. 574 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 2: And plus we're going bankrupt, so worry. What is it 575 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 2: thirty seven now, thirty eight trillion dollars in debt. We 576 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,919 Speaker 2: invade Venezuela or we get involved in a regime change war. 577 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 2: This is going to cost potentiallyllions of dollars. So I'm like, no, please, 578 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 2: no more wars. And if we're going to have a war, 579 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 2: for God's sake, let there be a debate. Let the 580 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 2: country have a debate. Let there be a debate in Congress, 581 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 2: because if things go south, Congress will turn on President Trump. 582 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 2: And honestly, Trump now has so many enemies. The last 583 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 2: thing he needs now is a war. And remember he 584 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 2: ran on getting us out of these endless wars. Hell, 585 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 2: he just won the you know, he just ended the 586 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 2: war in Gaza, and everybody says he should have won 587 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 2: the Nobel Peace Prize. He's going to start potentially a 588 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 2: war now when we've got massive problems in deporting illegal 589 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,720 Speaker 2: aliens from our own country and the resistance is rising 590 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 2: and getting more violent. We've got to focus on problems 591 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 2: at home. Let the Venezuelans liberate Venezuela. Larry, thank you 592 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 2: so much for that call. Just my opinion. You can 593 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 2: agree disagree obviously. Let's go to George in New Hampshire. 594 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: Thanks for holding George, and welcome. 595 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 3: Hey Jeff, thanks for taking the call to Yes, sir, 596 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 3: so my big thing I agree with you one hundred percent. 597 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 3: I love this. I love how Trump's addressing the this 598 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 3: drum thing. It's it's it's late to believe we're so 599 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 3: late to the party on this issue. It blows my mind, 600 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 3: and I I dorse what he's doing in terms of 601 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 3: these isolated attacks on the poison coming into our country. 602 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 3: But I guess the only thing that I wanted to 603 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 3: make you aware of, and I'm sure you're aware of, 604 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 3: is this al Qaeda ISIS attack that, like Sarah Adams 605 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 3: is really basically highlighting. I'm sure you're aware of it, 606 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 3: but that's an intimate that that's a huge threat to 607 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 3: our country. So there's so many pieces on the chessboard 608 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 3: that are happening at one time. It's it's kind of 609 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 3: mind blowing. And I would love it if you could 610 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 3: highlight maybe do your homework or please weigh in on 611 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 3: that issue, because it's a three times the attack that 612 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 3: nine to eleven experience supposedly, and it's it's it's pretty 613 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 3: scary what she's a least laying out, you know what 614 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 3: I mean. So I think a lot of this resistance 615 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 3: that Trump is getting would be put down if, if 616 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 3: God forbid, anything did happen to the homeland, and because 617 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 3: it's a black and white issue, no one wants the 618 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 3: war brought. 619 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 4: To our to our states. 620 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 3: You know, do you have any real opinion on that, 621 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 3: because I mean, Antipa's in Tifa, and I think in 622 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 3: Tifa to be he's handling it as the best he 623 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 3: can right now, and I don't see how he could 624 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 3: really do anything different on that issue, you know. 625 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 2: Well, to be honest, George, look, I love Trump. I 626 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 2: agree with him ninety nine point nine percent of the time. 627 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 2: I think he's one of the greatest presidents, maybe now 628 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 2: the greatest president we've ever had. If he's not the greatest, 629 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,320 Speaker 2: he's on his way to becoming the greatest. 630 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: I think. 631 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 2: To be honest, I think Pam Bondi is screwing him. 632 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 2: I think he's made a couple of personnel mistakes. I 633 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 2: don't want to beat a dead horse, but I'm just 634 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,360 Speaker 2: calling it the way I see it. I think he 635 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 2: needs a different attorney general. And the reason why I'm 636 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 2: saying this, I think he's got a he's not sending 637 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:52,399 Speaker 2: in enough troops into Portland, or into Chicago, or into 638 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Look, Chicago is a city of many, many millions, 639 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 2: of people. It's one of the biggest cities in the world, 640 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 2: and Trump is sending in five hundred National Guard troops. 641 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 2: That's nowhere near enough. Now they're already going crazy in 642 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,800 Speaker 2: Chicago over five hundred. Brandon Johnson's losing his mind. Pritzker 643 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 2: Golden Corral is losing his mind. But it doesn't matter. 644 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 2: You need at least five thousand troops minimum minimum. Look, 645 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:28,760 Speaker 2: yesterday there was another violent attack against ICE agents. Several 646 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,720 Speaker 2: of them were sent to the hospital. They're now literally 647 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 2: trying to tear down the security fence that they erected 648 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 2: around that Ice building that is being now relentlessly attacked 649 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 2: almost every day. They're throwing gas accelerants, They're trying to 650 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 2: burn the building down. They're throwing rocks, bottles, bricks. Gunshots 651 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 2: now are being fired at that Ice building Ice agents. 652 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 2: Now again another ICE vehicles were rammed by another convoy. 653 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 2: This happened just yesterday, where these were illegal aliens who 654 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,319 Speaker 2: went into their cars and smashed their vehicles into ice, 655 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:13,800 Speaker 2: into ice cars into ice vehicles. So ICE is saying, 656 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 2: they're making it very difficult, almost impossible for us to 657 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 2: do our job. You got to come in much heavier 658 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 2: than five hundred National Guard troops. And I don't blame Trump. 659 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 2: I blame Pam Bondi because ultimately it's the attorney general, 660 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,319 Speaker 2: and you know, and and hegseth to a bit of 661 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 2: a lesser degree. And my concern is and I'm very 662 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,919 Speaker 2: happy the hostages are home. I'm very happy that Trump 663 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 2: signed that piece deal and that there is that peace 664 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 2: summit in Egypt. 665 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 1: But okay, it's great, I love it. 666 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 2: But now we need your single minded focus and attention 667 00:47:55,320 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 2: on the domestic enemy within, because George, as I speak you, now, 668 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 2: we're basically a year away now from the midterms. The 669 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:09,720 Speaker 2: Democrats capture the House, they're gonna defund Ice, They're gonna 670 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,799 Speaker 2: defund the Trump administration. They're going to impeach him all day, 671 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 2: all night. They've already said it. He's going to be 672 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 2: playing defense for the next to the last two years 673 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 2: of his term. So the deportations will stop, the border 674 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 2: security will stop. I mean, I could just go on. 675 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 2: His ability to fix the problems of the country are 676 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,800 Speaker 2: going to be severely undermined. So he's got to move, 677 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 2: and he's got to move now. And to me, Venezuela, look, 678 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:46,840 Speaker 2: go after these boats.
