Obviously, this is the 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: most important midterm election year that I think we'll see 5 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: in our lifetime. Either President Trump and Republicans win or 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: all progress stops and investigations and impeachments take over. I mean, 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: that's going to be your choice. And I hope all 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: of you will make a commitment in your mind and 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: heart and soul that you're going to vote in November. 10 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: It's not a lot to ask, you know what. I 11 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: want this country to continue to progress. But anyway, I 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: had a chance yesterday to travel to DC and sit 13 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: with President Trump. I sat with him for a long time, 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: both on air and off air, and we talked about 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: a lot of things. There's a lot happening in the world, 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: from Venezuela and Cuba and Iran and Russia. You know, 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: we basically skipped around the globe. We talked about the economy. 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: Here is that interview. 19 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: There's really not much in the news, so there's not 20 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: a real lot to talk about. But start with Veniceituela 21 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: narco terrorist indicted guy that we're losing two Unite Americans 22 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: a day to drugs. Yeah, walk us through this decision 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: in Venezuela. 24 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't a hard decision. 25 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 4: Democrats wanted them and Republicans wanted them, and nobody had 26 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 4: what it takes to get him or didn't want to 27 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 4: get him. 28 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 3: I don't know. 29 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 4: Something happened, but he killed a lot of people. He 30 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 4: sent a lot of bad people into our country, who 31 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 4: emptied his prisons into the United States. He emptied his 32 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 4: mental institutions and insane as adams. 33 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: Into the United States and did a lot of very 34 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 3: bad things. But he was a big drug pushy. 35 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 4: You see that because all the boats that we shot down, 36 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 4: they came out of Venezuela a lot of drugs. There's 37 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 4: a lot of boats and a lot of drugs. Are 38 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 4: very few boats operating right. 39 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: Now, so there's no boats. You can't find any boats. 40 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 5: I don't think anyone would go fishing on there. 41 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 4: Not a lot of people want to go fishing anymore. 42 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 4: But we've knocked out ninety seven percent of the drugs 43 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 4: coming in by water, and we are going to start 44 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 4: now hitting the land. With regard to the cartels, the 45 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 4: cartels are running Mexico. It's very, very sad to watch 46 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 4: and see what's happened to that country. But the cartels 47 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 4: are running, and they're killing two hundred and fifty three 48 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 4: hundred thousand people in our country every single year. The drugs. 49 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 4: It's horrible. It's devastated. Families lose a child or a parent. 50 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 4: I mean, parents are dying too with drugs. So we've 51 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: done a really good job. We're knocking it down. The 52 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 4: numbers are really getting to be They're always going to 53 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 4: be too high if you have one person, but they're 54 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: going down. 55 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 3: Just like the border. 56 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 4: The border was a total mess for years. I did 57 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 4: it the first time very quickly, and this time I 58 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 4: did it even better because this was a bigger mess. 59 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: This was a border like no other, probably in the 60 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: history of the world. 61 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 4: There's never been a border like that when anybody could 62 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 4: just walk into your country. 63 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: Borders ostensibly really closed. 64 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 4: Now close, you can't come in, and nobody comes, nobody 65 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 4: even tries. And the people in Texas, Arizona, all these 66 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 4: places that are won by such big numbers, they are 67 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 4: so happy with the border. They had homes that they 68 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 4: weren't even able to live in their home. 69 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 3: Every day. 70 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 4: People were knocking on their door every hour, and it's 71 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: just a great honor to. 72 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: Be involved with it. 73 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 4: The Ice and Border Patrol and all of the people 74 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 4: have been so good. Tom Home and Christine Home. The 75 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 4: people have done such an incredible job. You have no idea. 76 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: You've made a number of profound announcements and then a 77 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: new announcement today. 78 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 5: Announcement number one was. 79 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: Thirty to fifty million barrels of oil that they will 80 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: be handing over to you, and you will sell it on. 81 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 5: The market from the market prices. 82 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: That money will be used for the people of Venezuela 83 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: and the people of America. Then they made an announcement 84 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: yesterday that they will buy all of their goods. 85 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 5: From this country. Today we learn that. 86 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: The holdovers since Maduro's gone, have agreed to free all 87 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: all of the political prisoners. 88 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 5: Right. 89 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: It indicates they want peace with Donald Trump. 90 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: To me, how do you interpret it? We asked them 91 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 4: to do that, and they've been great. They really have been. 92 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 4: I mean, everything we've wanted they've given us. We went in, 93 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 4: we took Maduro out. Amazingly that nobody. 94 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: Was killed, We didn't lose a soldier. 95 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: We had some people wounded, but we didn't lose a soldier. 96 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 4: A couple of very brave helicopter pilots were wounded pretty badly, 97 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 4: but they're good. They're in good shape, and it was 98 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 4: an amazing attack. The other side was lost a lot 99 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 4: of people, unfortunately. 100 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 3: But you know, this house was in the middle of. 101 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 4: A fort with thousands of people and soldiers and everything else. 102 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: So we went right into the middle of a fort. 103 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 4: Who would think he could do that and not lose anybody, 104 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,119 Speaker 4: But they had it planned so beautifully. General Raisin Kane 105 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 4: and Pete Haikseth were fantastic. Marcu has been doing a 106 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 4: great job. Vice President. The whole group is it's just 107 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 4: a fantastic It's a fantastic group. 108 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit about you make these decisions. 109 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: I don't care if it's this case Operation Midnight Hammer. 110 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 5: In the one case, you're here in the. 111 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: White House in the situation room, you're watching this unfold 112 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: in real time. In this case, you have operationally the 113 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: same thing, a situation room. 114 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 5: Direct in Palm Beach at Marrow Lago. You make that 115 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 5: ultimate call. 116 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: You are the commander in chief, right you're watching it 117 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: unfold in real time. 118 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 4: What is that like, well, I've done it now quite 119 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: a bit. We took out Salamani, which was a big deal. 120 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 4: I mean a very big deal. At least it was 121 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 4: very bad. People killed a lot of people. Everybody you 122 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 4: see just about ninety five percent of the people you 123 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 4: see walking around without legs, without arms. That was the 124 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 4: roadside bomb. That was his baby. He loved it. We 125 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 4: took him out. We took out Al mag Daddy, he's 126 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 4: the founder of ices. We did Midnight Hammer, which was 127 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 4: a literate the Iran nuclear threat, and it was a 128 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 4: total obliteration that, as they found out, there be two 129 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: bombers and the best pilots anywhere in the world. They 130 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 4: did it at night with no moon, totally dark, and 131 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: every bomb went right down an air shaft into deep 132 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 4: into a granite mountain. 133 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: It is amazing. 134 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: And we did this and there's similar in a way. 135 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 4: I don't know this this seems to have gotten the imagination, 136 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: maybe even more than the other ones, but I think 137 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: they're very equal in many ways. But I don't know, 138 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 4: you know, maybe taking out the nuclear threat from Iran 139 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 4: it's very important. But in terms of captivating attention, this 140 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 4: seems to be something that is beyond anything that anybody's seen. 141 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: The operational details, well, the bravery involved. 142 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 4: You know. I mean to have people coming going into 143 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 4: an army force with you know, thousands of soldiers, land 144 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 4: a helicopter right in the middle of it, break down 145 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,559 Speaker 4: a steel door because you know it's a fortified house, 146 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 4: break down a steel door, run through the hallway shooting, 147 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 4: and come out ten minutes later with a guy who 148 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 4: wasn't quite able to get into a safe house. 149 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: You know there's a safe. 150 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: I heard they got to him within three minutes. 151 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 5: Three minutes. 152 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: It was so fast. I mean, nobody said us in 153 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: it and didn't like it. 154 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: But the safe house wasn't safe because they had blow 155 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 4: torches that go through steel like it's butter. They didn't 156 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 4: have to use them, but we, uh, we have. 157 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: These are great people. 158 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: These are really brave people, even coming down those ropes. 159 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 4: You know, they're coming down ropes off the helicopter and 160 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 4: they run them. I was thinking to myself, I wonder 161 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 4: if I could do that, I can have to give 162 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: it a try sometimes, but they do it like it's 163 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: like it's a stairway, like it's a beautiful stairway and 164 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 4: they're on the ground instantly and they're ready for action. 165 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: Is it brave people. We have the greatest soldiers in 166 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 4: the world. We have the greatest equipment in the world. 167 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 4: Nobody can match us, you know, a lot, and I 168 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 4: rebuilt the entire military during my first tim good thing. 169 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 4: Biden gave some of it away, a lot of it, 170 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 4: but not a lot roative to what I bought. But 171 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 4: he gave a big chunk to Afghanistan, which was just insane. 172 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 4: That was one of the most embarrassing moments in the 173 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: history of our country. 174 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 3: This was the opposite. 175 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 4: This was a total you know, if you think about 176 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 4: Jimmy Carter with the hostages, or you think about the 177 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 4: Afghanistan disaster that we had not so long ago with Biden, 178 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 4: where it was just mass confusion and the death of 179 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 4: thirteen great soldiers who I got to know. I got 180 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 4: to know the families very well, great people. But also 181 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 4: and nobody talks about I'm forty eight people so badly 182 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 4: injured and hundreds of people dead, hundreds of people you 183 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 4: know when those mobs were off, because I count the 184 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 4: other side, but there were hundreds of people killed, all 185 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 4: because of an incompetent group of politics in generals and 186 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 4: people that shouldn't be there. 187 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit, maybe an underreported story, but 188 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: we know for a fact that both the Russians in 189 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: the Chinese provided missile and ballistic missile systems. 190 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 5: They did it to both. 191 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: They helped Iran and they helped Venezuela. 192 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 5: But you were able to dismantle that. 193 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: You talk a lot about American military superiority, and then 194 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: that goes into the issue that you raised this week 195 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 2: of raising the budget for twenty twenty seven from one trillion. 196 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 5: To one and a half trillion dollars. 197 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 4: We need it, you know, when you look at the 198 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 4: thread out there, we have the best equipment in the world. 199 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 4: We make the best equipment in the world. We may 200 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 4: just you know, there's nothing even close, but we need 201 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 4: it because there are some real threats out there. 202 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think we certainly do. 203 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: Let me ask you about this, and I think this 204 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: is important. With every military operation comes risk, and you 205 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: have to obviously weigh that risk. And I think Americans 206 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: would want to know what goes into your thinking because 207 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: there's a whole new military doctrine. I call it the 208 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: Trump doctrine. I think it's widely misunderstood. 209 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 5: No forever wars. 210 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: However, that doesn't mean you don't use the mite and 211 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 2: power of the US military. You mentioned Bagdaddy SOLEMANI I'll 212 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 2: add the mother of all bombs in Afghanistan, the ISIS 213 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: Caliphate and then taking out a Rand's nuclear weaponsites and 214 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 2: now our hemisphere. 215 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 5: Are you calling it the Don Road doctrine? 216 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 4: Well, they call it the donro I didn't go with that, 217 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 4: but they're calling it this the Monroe Doctor and now 218 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 4: they go with the Don Road, which is basically safety 219 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 4: for this part of the world. And yeah, I mean 220 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 4: it's pretty simple. We don't want drugs boring into our country. 221 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 4: We don't admit people coming into our country like happened 222 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 4: for four years under Biden, who's a disgrace, worst president 223 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 4: the history of our country. 224 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: Horrible. 225 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 4: We had some other Bedroins, let me tell you, Obama 226 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 4: was a terrible president. The divisiveness and the hatred it 227 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 4: was cause and many of the people allowed into the country. 228 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 4: But what Biden did was a step beyond anything that 229 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 4: anybody's ever done. We had millions of people pouring through 230 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 4: the border. 231 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 3: Now we have nobody coming in unless they come in legally. 232 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 2: Let's talk about you said for the interim, you will 233 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: be in charge, Okay, obviously the remaining leadership underneath Maduro. 234 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 2: They've made I mentioned earlier, three major concessions, thirty to 235 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: fifty million barrels of oil. They're going to buy and 236 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 2: purchase all their goods from America. Now they're releasing political prisoners. Okay, 237 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: what is your ultimate goal for the governance of Venezuela. 238 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 4: Prisoners that nobody thought they would ever see again now 239 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 4: being released. Yeah, and in many cases good people is 240 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 4: what I understand. But prisoners nobody ever thought they'd be released. 241 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 4: So we're going to be working with them and leadership 242 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 4: of the country, and so far we've been working very well. 243 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 4: You know, we picked up the Russian freighter that trudged 244 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 4: out there. 245 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 5: I want to ask you about that. 246 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 4: Well, they had some Russian ships guarding it and they 247 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 4: decided not to mess around with us, and we took 248 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 4: that one. That's unloading the oil. But we're getting we're 249 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 4: taking billions and billions of dollars worth of oil, and 250 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 4: it'll be hundreds of billions of dollars, it'll be trillions 251 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 4: of dollars. But we're going to be there till we 252 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 4: straighten out the country. We'll see how the country's doing, 253 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: but we'll be running the oil. We're meeting tomorrow with 254 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 4: all of the big oil executives. We're going to be 255 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 4: right here in the White House.

They're going to. 259 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 4: Rebuild the whole oil infrastructure. They're going to spend at 260 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 4: least one hundred billion dollars. And it's an unbelievable oil 261 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 4: that they have, and an unbelievable quality of oil and 262 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 4: amount of oil. 263 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 2: When they nationalized the oil industry in Venezuela, going back 264 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: to the nineteen twenties, American companies had invested billions. We 265 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: built it, all of it, and then it was taken 266 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 2: from stolen. 267 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: It was stolen from us, and it was. 268 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 4: Taken away years ago, over a period. 269 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 3: Of time, but it was taken. 270 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 4: Away in the early two thousands, even beyond that, but 271 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: the early two thousands, and I. 272 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: Just took it back. 273 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 2: I can't imagine them being able to They have the 274 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: largest oil reserves in the world. I can't imagine without 275 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 2: American investment ingenuity, engineering, and our assistance that they would 276 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: ever be able to tap into the vast resources that 277 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: they have, again the largest in the entire world, So 278 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: that will be a big part of it. What does 279 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 2: that mean in terms of America's new partnership with Venezuela. 280 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 4: Well, it means lower oil prices all over the world, 281 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 4: which is great for everybody. 282 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,119 Speaker 3: It means lower oil. 283 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 4: Prices for America, which I have it down.

There was no affordability under Biden. 286 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 4: He had the worst inflation in history, the highest and 287 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 4: worst inflation in history. Prices were through the roof, and 288 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 4: I'm fixing it. I inherited a mess. I say it 289 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 4: all the time.

Now, 304 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 2: it's interesting you mentioned all of the criminals and the 305 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: people let out of prisons that were sent to our 306 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: borders in our country. That's trende arrago, that's cartel members. 307 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 4: Some of the worst criminals in the world were let 308 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 4: into our country.

But back to this one issue. 312 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: Do you foresee a Venezuela. 313 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 5: That will have free and fair elections? 314 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: And I would have little doubt that the opposition would 315 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: probably win handle it if they were free and if 316 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: they were fair. 317 00:15:58,760 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I do see that. 318 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 4: I think that's happening. But before we do that, it's 319 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 4: going to take a while to do it. We have 320 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 4: to rebuild the country. They couldn't have an election, they 321 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 4: wouldn't even know how to have an election right now. 322 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: The country has become. 323 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 4: Third World and they wouldn't know how to have an 324 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 4: election right now. We're going to rebuild the oil and 325 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 4: the oil infrastructure. We'll be in charge of it. It's 326 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 4: going to do great and make a lot of money, 327 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 4: and we're going to take it from there. But we're 328 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 4: going to rebuild the country and we'll ultimately you're going 329 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 4: to have elections. 330 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: When you talk about increasing defense spending, and I go 331 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 2: back to the campaign, and I go back to your 332 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: first term. Foreign policy usually doesn't get a lot of discussion, 333 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: and in many ways you have dedicated a lot of time, energy, 334 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: and resources very important for our country. Well, how is 335 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 2: that in America's first interest, because that's what you stand for. 336 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 4: Well, like the Middle East was blowing up when I 337 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 4: got in. It was everybody was fighting everybody, which in 338 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 4: fairness has been going on for about three thousand years 339 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: the Middle East. So we now have peace of the 340 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 4: Middle East. Nobody thought that was possible. But you have 341 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 4: some great countries Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Ue and many other 342 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 4: countries that have. 343 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 3: Been around a long time. 344 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 4: They're very wealthy, they were in many ways put out 345 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 4: of business that weren't able to do business. You know, 346 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 4: tremendous wealth for the world. The oil supply was hurt. 347 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 4: Everything was hurt. I mean, you had things happening in 348 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 4: the Middle East that were bad, not only in Gaza, 349 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 4: with the death and the destruction going on for years, 350 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 4: and it's been cleaned up. It's amazing it's been cleaned up. 351 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 4: Now there'll be some remnants right now. We're gonna have 352 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 4: to see what happens with Hamas. We're gonna have to 353 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 4: see what happens with Hesbola and Lebanon. But we have 354 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 4: fifty nine countries that signed on and they want to 355 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 4: go in and help. If we should have to do 356 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 4: something with Hamas, which is a possibility, I think they're 357 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 4: going to do what they said they were going to do. 358 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 4: They were going to disarm that they've been armed for 359 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 4: a long time. 360 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: They've been a little slow to disarm. Yeah, they've been 361 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 2: Louise support Israel. Will you put them on a time? 362 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 4: I would, but. 363 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 3: First we'll see whether or not they're going to be disarming. 364 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 4: Look, I'm all for it if they If they don't, 365 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 4: they made the promise that they were. If they don't, 366 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 4: they've they've made an agreement that they're going to disarm, 367 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 4: so we're going to have to assume that they're going 368 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 4: to but you know, it's not their nature to disarm. 369 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 4: It's not exactly their nature. Hasbel husband a very bad 370 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 4: and Lebanon. But overall, I mean, we have an amazing 371 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 4: situation compared to what it was, and we really do 372 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 4: have peace in the Middle East. And I will say 373 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 4: so the Arabia quitar Ue and other countries have been amazing. 374 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 4: They've been, you know, so helpful in getting it done. 375 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 4: But the biggest thing was the attack on Iran. If 376 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 4: you if you had a strong Iran and respected Iran, 377 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 4: a powerful Iran like I guess it was at one point. 378 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 4: So you know, a year ago, year and a half ago, 379 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 4: you wouldn't have been able to make peace because the 380 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 4: other countries wouldn't have been able to have that dark 381 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 4: cloud hanging over them. And they by by knocking out 382 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 4: their nuclear potential, they would have had a nuclear weapon 383 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 4: within two months by knocking that. 384 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 3: That's why I had to go in. 385 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 4: Every president wanted to go in, and none of them did. 386 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: I mean, you didn't want to send cargo planes of 387 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 2: cash and of the currency. 388 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 4: Oh terrible. I mean, I've never seen hundreds of hundreds 389 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 4: of millions of dollars were sent in cash on Boeing 390 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 4: seven fifty sevens, beautiful Boeing seven. They opened the cashers 391 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 4: piled up to the ceiling. I never even knew a 392 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 4: president could do that. How do you do that? 393 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 3: What do you do? 394 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 4: Call the banks? You know, they emptied out every bank 395 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 4: in Virginia and Maryland to get that cash, and they 396 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 4: sent it over there and gave it to him. 397 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 5: No, we took the. 398 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 4: Opposite approach, exactly the opposite approach. 399 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 2: Are you following the protesting that is taking place all 400 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 2: over the. 401 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 5: Country of Iran? 402 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm following. 403 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: And have you have you read that the Iatola Ali 404 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: Komani is now has a plan B to go to Russia. 405 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 4: At some place he's looking to go. 406 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 5: I believe. 407 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 2: I think the country is on the verge of collapsing. 408 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 3: Well, it could be. 409 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 4: I mean, what they've done is they start in the past, 410 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 4: they've started shooting the hell out of people, and all 411 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 4: of a sudden, people without any weapons whatsoever, is standing 412 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 4: there in your machine guns gunning them down, or they 413 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 4: take them to prisons and then hang them and kill them. 414 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 4: So they played rough and I said, if they do that, 415 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 4: we're going to hit them very hard. Well, we're gonna 416 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 4: hit them out. We're ready to do it. If they 417 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 4: do that, we're going to hit them all. And so far, 418 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 4: for the most part, there's been some of it, but 419 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 4: for the most part they haven't. There have been people killed, 420 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 4: some of them. The crowds are so big that some 421 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 4: of them have had really like we're stumped on literally 422 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 4: it was. It was terrible. The crowds are just they're massive. 423 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 4: The enthusiasm to overturn that regime is incredible. But there's 424 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 4: been people killed, but it's more from death by it's 425 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 4: literally stomping. It's people running in a certain direction. 426 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens over 427 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: They know. 428 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 4: Though, that it's a stampede, is I guess the best 429 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 4: word they have, Like a stampede. 430 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 3: You talk about stampede for cattle, but the people. 431 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 4: Are stampeding and you're losing a lot of people with 432 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 4: the stampedge. There's so many there's so many people protesting. 433 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 4: Nobody's ever seen anything like what's happening right now. But 434 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 4: I have put a random noticed that if they start 435 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 4: shooting at them. These people are totally unarmed people, and 436 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 4: they love their country. They want something to happen. Look 437 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 4: at their country. They've gone, They've gone back one hundred 438 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 4: and fifty years. But I've told them that if they 439 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 4: do anything bad to these people, we're going to hit 440 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 4: them very hard. 441 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: So if there is mass murder by the raigning Ayatolos 442 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 2: and those leadership, you're pledging to the people of Iran 443 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: that you will come to their aid. 444 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 3: I did, very loud and very clear, that's what. 445 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 4: We're going to do. 446 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 5: I have this hat. 447 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 2: I guess you were playing golf with Lindsay Gram. 448 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 3: I did that for Lindsay Graham. 449 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: Make all says make a Ran great again? 450 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 3: And what he means by that. 451 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 4: Because I said, this is a little trick, he had, 452 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 4: what do you want me to sign this head? 453 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 5: I don't know he can I sell this. It's probably 454 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 5: worth a lot of money. 455 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 4: Kept my signature, but he asked me to sign that. 456 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 3: I said, you know, there's a lot. 457 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 4: Of definitions for that, and what he's talking about is 458 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 4: the people that are protesting. I guess it's the only 459 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 4: word you can use. It's really the biggest protest I've 460 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 4: ever seen. The people that are protesting if they take 461 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 4: over the country. 462 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 3: He wants to see if Iran can be great again. 463 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 4: You know, years ago a friend of mine was a 464 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 4: developer from New York and I was a young developer 465 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 4: and he went to Iran and he built buildings in 466 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 4: Iran and he made a lot of money and he 467 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 4: did very well. And it was like condos and rentals, 468 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 4: and he loved Iran. He thought it was great, and 469 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 4: he did a lot of work. I did a tremendous 470 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 4: amount of work. He loved the people, he thought they 471 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 4: were so incredible. And then it all stopped. When this stuff. 472 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 2: Started happened nineteen seventy nine. 473 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, like magic, four. 474 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: Hundred and forty four days Americans held hostage. 475 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was not a good time for Jimmy Carter. 476 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 4: Wasn't a good time for America. His politics, Oh. 477 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: Didn't work out very well for anybody if in fact, well. 478 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 3: You know, I think about that though. 479 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 4: I could interrupt, because you know, when we were going 480 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 4: into the middle of Venezuela, was helicopters landing in an 481 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 4: army fort. We have thousands of soldiers and you have 482 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 4: people with guns all over the place. 483 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 3: I thought so much. 484 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 4: About that Jimmy Carter catastrophe. We had so many hostages 485 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 4: taken American hostages. We had the helicopters crashing, and you 486 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 4: had the sandstorms. If you had sam storage, you should 487 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 4: come back. But they tried to blast through the sandstorm. 488 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 4: Nature always wins, remember the helicopter. Nature always wins. And 489 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 4: helicopters don't have that kind of an engine. You know, 490 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 4: there's a lot of moving parts. They don't like sand 491 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 4: blowing into their gears. But anyway, they decided to go forward. 492 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 4: I should have come back. But I was thinking about 493 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 4: that because here we are going into actually a much 494 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 4: more dangerous situation if you think about it. 495 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: And Venezuela, we're in a fort, a military army fort, 496 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 3: and the. 497 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 4: House was built there for protection, and we're going in 498 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 4: with helicopters, with jets, with helicopters, I mean, the jets 499 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 4: preceded the helicopters. 500 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 3: And did it unbelievable. 501 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 4: These are unbelievably talented pilots and people, and very brave people. 502 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 4: So I was thinking a lot about the Jimmy Guno thing. 503 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 4: I don't know what he would have done or how 504 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 4: he would have done if that didn't happen. But there 505 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 4: are those that say that destroyed his chances of winning election, 506 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 4: and you know, lost that election pretty big. He might 507 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 4: have lost it anyway, perhaps, but there was no question 508 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 4: after that mess, and I was saying, well, I hope 509 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 4: that doesn't happen with me. But we have Raisin Kine 510 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 4: and all of these great people, and they did an 511 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 4: unbelievable Jeff, you. 512 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 2: Know, you started in your first term the Abraham Accords, 513 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: and I would argue beyond Israel, it's other countries in 514 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 2: the region, Egypt, Jordan, the Saudiast and pretty much every 515 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 2: country that they probably were breathing a sigh of relief 516 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 2: as well as the Israelis because they didn't want to 517 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: read in hegemony in the region and a nuclear om Iran. 518 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 4: Well, you had to step that. You had no jewison. 519 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 4: It should have been done long before I got there. 520 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 4: It should have been done earlier. They just you look 521 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 4: back and Obama should have done it. 522 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 3: They all should have done it. Clinton should have done it. 523 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 3: Obama went the other way. I mean Obama decided to 524 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 3: go with Iran. 525 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 4: I mean he was I don't know how Jewish people 526 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 4: can vote for Biden and Obama, they were absolutely on 527 00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 4: the side. 528 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 2: Of her, and they were again, Donnie, Well, we're going 529 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 2: to find that favorite mayor. 530 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 4: Well, I have a very nice relationship, but I thought 531 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 4: it would take it at least maybe a month or 532 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 4: two months before he went after me. He hit me 533 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 4: on attack on Venezuela, which is pretty unusual because not 534 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 4: too many people have hit us. That was a perfect attack. 535 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 4: Think of what we've done. I mean, we've taken over 536 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 4: a whole country. We're going to make the country strong 537 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 4: and good, and we're going to ultimately be able to 538 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 4: vote and put somebody in that they like the oil 539 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 4: that we've taken. We've taken four billion dollars worth of 540 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 4: oil and one day and that'll increase. We're going to 541 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 4: have it rebuilt. All the big oil companies are coming in. 542 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 4: They're going to make a lot of money, and Venezuela 543 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 4: is going to get some of that money and we're 544 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 4: going to get some of that money. And we brought 545 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 4: stability to the region. We brought stability and much lower 546 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 4: oil prices. 547 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: You know, we have. 548 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 4: Gasoline now down to in many cases one dollar and 549 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 4: ninety nine cents gal. And with Biden, it was four 550 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 4: and a half dollars five dollars. 551 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 3: We have it way we have. We brought it way down. 552 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 3: We've done a great job. 553 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 4: When the word affordability prices are way down, they're going 554 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 4: to go lower prices. You know, everything follows oil. Oil 555 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 4: is so big, everything follows oil. If oil prices are down, 556 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 4: everything's done. I mean, you can look at everything, because 557 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 4: it's just it affects everything. It affects the truck that 558 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 4: delivers donuts, It affects the stove that makes the donut. 559 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 3: It affects everything. 560 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 2: Two more issues on foreign policy national security than I do. 561 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 2: Want to get to a deep dive into the economy. 562 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 4: I want to ask you, ecloy is unbelievable, but that 563 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 4: I know. 564 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 2: But it's unbelievable you survive without Venezuela and oil. I 565 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: don't see how it can canhusivea Cuba. 566 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 4: No, Cuba totally realizes on Venezuela for money and for oil, 567 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 4: and they give Venezuela protection. That was always the deal. 568 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 4: They're very tough, they good soldiers. They got wiped out, 569 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 4: as you know, three days ago, wiped out. I don't 570 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 4: want to even say how many, but they got wiped out, 571 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 4: but Cuba gives protection to Venezuela, and Venezuela gives Cuba 572 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 4: money through oil. 573 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 3: And I work that way for a long time you 574 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 3: talked about it doesn't work that way anymore. 575 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 5: So. 576 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 3: I don't know what Cuba was going to do. I 577 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 3: think Cuba was going to fail. 578 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 4: It's got I don't think there are any alternatives to Cuba. 579 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: Quick break well have more on the other side.
