1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us, and

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to all. Write down our toll free

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: telephone number if you want to be a part of

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: this extravaganza. It's a one hundred and ninety four to

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: one Sean if you want to join us. Linda, did

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: you miss me at all? Just be honest? Why? I

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: mean the audio you didn't you? Of course audio the

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: audience miss the audience that I want to say thank

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: you to the audience for missing me. There's nothing in

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: the news. Is nothing happening. London Times reporting a rand

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: Supreme leader plans to flee to Russia if the anti

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: regime riots get any worse. So, I mean, we're now

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: at a moment of history where you could see the

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Iranian Mulla's fleeing to Russia in days or weeks. Cuba

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: is on the precipice of falling. Maduro was in court

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: in New York today. You know, it looks like Nicholas

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: Maduro is not the only American enemy leader whose reign

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: is about to come to an end. And there's really

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: only one person you can thank for all of this,

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: and that would be Donald J. Trump. As we now

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: head into what I believe is the single most important

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: midterm election in our lifetime. And I'm going to say

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: that a lot in the coming year. And when I

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: say it, some of you say, Hannady, you're repeating yourself.

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you ahead of time. I will tell you

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: and remind you daily at what is at stake here,

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: all of the progress that you are going to now

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: see the impact of a year's worth of economic policies

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: driven by Donald J. Trump now literally heading into your

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: pocket book and your wallet and your family. You're going

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: to see lower interest rates. You're going to see the

32
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: benefit of trillions of dollars in committed moneys from manufacturing

33
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: make its way and fuse its way into the bloodstream

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: of our economy. You're going to see energy prices drop,

35
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: probably to all time lows, especially in light of what

36
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: has just happened in Venezuela and what's going to happen

37
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: in Iran or could possibly happen in Iran. For the

38
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: London Times to report that Iran's Hyatola Kamanie, you know,

39
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: as a backup plan to flee the country with a

40
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: close circle of twenty aids and family, and of course

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: they'll pillage and take every penny that they possibly can

42
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: out of the country, but that Plan B is very

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: real according to the London Times. We'll get into that

44
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: as the program unfolds today. I mean, we have got

45
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: Tim Walls making his announcement he's ended his re election

46
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: bid bid because of all of the corruption. I love

47
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: the New York Post headline from last week the Walls

48
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: w w Alz close in and six days later with

49
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: you know the sheriff hot on his trail. Governor Walls

50
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: has pulled the plug on his reelection bid and New

51
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: York Post reporting the governor Wall said Monday at zero sadness,

52
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: zero regret in ending his reelection campaign, before denouncing political actors,

53
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: I don't know who the citizen journalist is. A lot

54
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: of these people, you know that get a microphone, they

55
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: don't really do a lot of good work. They just don't.

56
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: And a lot of them are you know, just too busy,

57
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, looking for clicks and figuring it out, figuring

58
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: out algorithms that they can monetize, and you know, spewing

59
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, bizarre strange conspiracy theories and virulent anti semitism

60
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: and and just division. I would argue that those people

61
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: that are anti Semitic that are spewing division at a

62
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: time when the Democrats are cracking up right before our eyes.

63
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: Those people, if you look at the history of their

64
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: support for the mag of movement, it's not very concerns.

65
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: It seems to be, you know, a matter of convenience

66
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: for a lot of them. Watching them implode is actually

67
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: something that's that's fairly fascinating to me in some ways.

68
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: But we'll get to all that in the course of

69
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: this this day, this week, this month, this year. We've

70
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about. Uh, do we have

71
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: to not start with how amazing, just like Operation Midnight

72
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Hammer was taking out a RAN's nuclear sites. Do we

73
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: not have to pause and thank God for the greatest

74
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: military on the face of God's green Earth. And you

75
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: might think, well, this, this is We've done this before.

76
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: There is no such thing as a risk free military operation,

77
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: this sophisticated where they captured Maduro. And you know, I'm

78
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: already listening to the naysayers out there, and the you know,

79
00:04:54,480 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: predictable naysayers, most of them. You're dealing with an illegitimate dictator.

80
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: He was not elected. He stole the last two elections,

81
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: just like his predecessor, Hugo Chavez before him and indicted

82
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: here in the United States six years ago, and a

83
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: narco terrorist. It is not something that we've not seen

84
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: in the history of this country before. We've seen it

85
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: with Noriega and Saddam and Grenada and where was the

86
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: other one? I think it was Columbia. We've seen this

87
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: movie before and you know it was It's really remarkable.

88
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: You know that the corrupt state run legacy media mob

89
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: and fake news CNN and MSDNC, they don't look happy

90
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: about the successful military operation and developments and the end

91
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: of the Maduro regime. If you look at natural resources,

92
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: just the sheer volume of resources that Venezuela has in

93
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: terms of oil. Now, it's not the best oil, it's

94
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: not the cleanest oil. What does that mean. It's considered

95
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: dirtier oil. That means that it needs far more refiner

96
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: refining than does say the oil that we're extracting here

97
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: in the United States. But you have Venezuelans dancing in

98
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: the streets. You have Venezuelans all over the country dancing

99
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: in the streets. You have Venezuelans, you know, in my

100
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: free state of Florida. They are cheering Donald Trump's decision

101
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: to remove Maduro. One of the consequences of this is

102
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: we now are living in a moment where Cuba is

103
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: on the brink as a result of the President's actions here.

104
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: And that's fascinating to watch when you get the operational

105
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: details as they become more available, and I've talked to

106
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people, very good sources. This was a

107
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: very very well thought out, sophisticated military operation that was

108
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: extraordinarily dangerous. Apparently we did have CIA sources inside the

109
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: Venezuelan government, which is why we were able to map

110
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: out and duplicate and actually make a model of Maduro's

111
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: home as we had Delta Force troops and others invade

112
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: and they got to him. From the moment they got

113
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: to that palace or of that home he was living in,

114
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: it took them less than three minutes to get to him.

115
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: That's it. That's how quick it was, and how amazing

116
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: they are, And all hats off to all of them

117
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: for the great work that they've done here. Now the

118
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, I love the fact that the President is

119
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: calling it the Donroe doctrine. We have had the Monroe

120
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: doctrine and effect for a long time, and that is

121
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: that we are not going to allow for an influence

122
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: in our hemisphere, obviously for national security reasons. And as

123
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: you go back in time and you look and you

124
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: see exile Venezuelans around the world celebrating, you know, the

125
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: the removal of Maduro. Do you know nearly ten million

126
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: Venezuelans had had to flee the country as a result

127
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: of all of this. And do you know that Donald

128
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: Trump offered this guy multiple off ramps in keeping with

129
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: the Trump doctrine, give them an opportunity for peace, give

130
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: them an opportunity. But it was obvious that that Meduro

131
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: was just arrogant and and I guess felt that, you know,

132
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: he it was impt impenetrable, and it's not. And you

133
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are down there, well, President

134
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: Trump is taking over the country temporarily, because why would

135
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: we expend all this political effort and military effort and

136
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: allow somebody to take over and and just replace Maduro

137
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: and keep in place the policies that have impoverished the

138
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: people of Venezuela. That would be pretty stupid. That would

139
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: mean that was a waste of time, energy, effort, and

140
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: a risk for our military. No the President said, until

141
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: a permanent leader can be found the US government. Yes,

142
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: we'll run Venezuela until such time as we can do

143
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: a safe, proper, judicious transition. One of the people, obviously

144
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: that we've had on this program many times before, Maria

145
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: Marshadow she's actually gonna be on TV with us tonight,

146
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: would be one of the leading candidates. But Maria Marschado,

147
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: she was the one if your recall, won the Nobel

148
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: Peace Prize and said I don't deserve this, it really

149
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: belongs to President Trump. It will be interesting to see

150
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: if she addresses that tonight when she's on with me,

151
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: and I want to see what happens. But they've not

152
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: had honest elections in Venezuela for a long time. Now

153
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: for the short term here, the presumed successor, the Vice President,

154
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: Dels Rodriguez, is a hard cored and there are rumors

155
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: that she may be in Russia even now now in

156
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: exile herself. But we don't know. We do know that

157
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: she is a radical socialist. We do know she's a

158
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: hardline socialist who kept Maduro in power for years. And

159
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: you know she's been trying to sound like she's lecturing

160
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and demanding the return of Maduro. She also

161
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: serves as the Minister of Finance and Oil, slamming this

162
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: as an atrocity that violates international law, none of which

163
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: is true. It is constitutional, it is with plenty of precedents,

164
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: and will have Greg Jared address the legal aspect of

165
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: all this. But if you look at her, you know

166
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: she will either comply with what President Trump demands is

167
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: going to happen there in the interim, or she will

168
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: herself be out of power, and that'll happen very quickly.

169
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: It's not going to be a long protracted negotiation with her.

170
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: The Department of Justice under Pambona, the Attorney General, is

171
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: vowed Madura and his wife will faith faced the full

172
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: wrath of American justice. As I said he was in

173
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: court earlier today, we're hearing that the evidence against Maduro

174
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: will be overwhelming, according to one federal prosecutor, Jonathan Fahi,

175
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: telling Fox News that US forces captured Maduro, flew him

176
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: to New York City and he's expected. He faced the

177
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: arrangement earlier today and there will be a criminal trial.

178
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: My guess is it would be I'd be hard pressed

179
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: to see a scenario in which he's not convicted. Although

180
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: there's so many lunatics in New York now run by

181
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: Marxist Kami Mamdani. I guess anything could possibly happen here.

182
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: Former Attorney General Bill Barr predicting the Venezuelan President Maduro

183
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: could face a sentence rivaling that a former Panamanian Dictatorman

184
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Manuel nor Jega. And by the way, he was charged

185
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: with multiple crimes by several countries, including a forty year

186
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: sentence for drug trafficking in the US or seventeen years

187
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: of that sentence before being expedited to France, where he

188
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: served a seven year sentence for money laundering. Finally, extra

189
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: dieded back to Panama for a sixty year sentence on

190
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: murder and corruption charges, where he died in prison in

191
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. I would imagine that will be the fate.

192
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: He's not having stake in his palace right now as

193
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: we speak. That's not going to happen. Look, you have

194
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: predictable reaction, and then there was some unpredictable reaction, which

195
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: I'll get to. And obviously the anybody that believes in

196
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: liberty and freedom now a lot of people saying, well, well,

197
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: how is this not nation building, Hannity, How is this

198
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: not a forever war. It's not going to be a

199
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: forever war. There's no conflict going on right now. There's

200
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: nothing happening. The only thing that is happening is this

201
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: president is making sure that all these American companies. Remember

202
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: they nationalized all of the oil industry in Venezuela. When

203
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: they did that, they stole all of the equipment from

204
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: American companies that had built out. And I'll go through

205
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: the details of this. Their economy, their energy industry, and

206
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: they did it with great skill and precision, and that's

207
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: why it should be one of the richest countries on Earth.

208
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget the scene when Jorge Ramos and

209
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: I've debated Hoge Ramos. I actually like him a lot personally.

210
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy, and he went to Venezuela, a

211
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: country that should be so rich. They have the second

212
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: largest oil reserves in the entire world. End not the

213
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: best oil, but oil that can be refined. But it

214
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: would take US companies to do it and US refineries

215
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: to do it. And I'm sure they can build them

216
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: in Venezuela. They can bring the oil here and that

217
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: will help make the people of Venezuela rich. Also, those

218
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: companies can recoup the money that was stolen from them

219
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: when these oil industry was nationalized. And I would imagine,

220
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: knowing Donald Trump, that probably will be a financial windfall

221
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: for this country as well. But it was the right

222
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: thing to do, as this guy is pure evil. And

223
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: that's the thing I mean. I've heard commentary by some well,

224
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: if things in Venezuela are just wonderful and there's no rape,

225
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: and there's no crime, and there's okay, it's when you

226
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: kill American citizens by being a part of a narco

227
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: terrorist organization that profits off the death of American citizens.

228
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: Why is that not a moral imperative to every human

229
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: being to make sure that comes to a swift end. Anyway,

230
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: those people are barely worth discussing. Look, there are some

231
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: of you still suffering under the Biden Harris economic disaster.

232
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: Although taxes are lower as of four days ago, well

233
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: five days ago, and that means that you'll be paying less.

234
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: Interest rates now down a full point. We have a

235
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: new FED share coming in May. That means interest rates

236
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: will go down further. That means sales or pre existing

237
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: homes will go up. That means new home construction. We're

238
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: down some six million homes that are needed in this country.

239
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: They will be built. And if you're a homeowner and

240
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: maybe you're living paycheck to paycheck, or maybe you're putting

241
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: bare necessities on credit cards with twenty one twenty five

242
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: percent interest rates, but you still want to hang on

243
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: to your home. You know your low interest rate that

244
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: you currently have. You don't have to give it up

245
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: because our friends at American Financing have a solution without

246
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: you giving up your low mortgage thirty year fixed rate

247

Speaker 1: mortgage that you got many years ago. Anyway, they will

248

00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: prosperous times are on the way, thank God. The one

254
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill now in effect. All right, twenty five

Speaker 1: now until the top of the hour. Eight hundred and

256
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: nine to four one Sean is our number, and happy

257
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: New Year to all of you and your families. I

258
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: think is going to be the most important midterm election

259
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: in our lifetime. We will lay out the case of

260
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: what is at stake in the days, weeks, months ahead,

261
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: and I'm just urging all of you to make a

262
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: resolution this new year to be ready for a battle

263
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: and be prepared and prepare yourself that you are not

264
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: going to let this country be set on the wrong

265
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: path again. Too many times we get too complacent. And

266
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: if people are complacent in this midterm, you know you

267
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: run the risk at all the progress in the last year,

268
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: all the benefits that we're going to reap this year

269
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: year from the progress of last year, both around the

270
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: world and domestically and economically. And I have been predicting

271
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: by the third quarter of this year, probably way before it,

272
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: but I want to give enough runway for the economy

273
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: to make a full recovery. All the pieces are in place,

274
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: urgest tax cut in history, no tax on tips, overtime

275
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: social security, energy prices now the lowest they've been in

276
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: five years, and they're probably going to get lower interest

277
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: rates now coming down. That's going to spur economic activity,

278
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: sal of pre existing homes, new home construction, all of that,

279
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars in manufacturing dollar moneies that are now

280
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: dedicated to the country. We've never had all of this combined.

281
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: And it's going to benefit every single American. And just watch.

282
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: We got the first indication of this with the last

283
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: GDP report, which came out just after I've got on vacation,

284
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: was a four point three percent GDP growth. We've not

285
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: seen that in forever. Remember we had Biden inflation nine percent.

286
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: It was insane. Let me first deal with the oil issue.

287
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: And if you look at the the countries with the

288
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: largest oil reserves by far, it's Venezuela and Saudi Arabia,

289
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Venezuela topping Saudi Arabia. I mean, it is a massive

290
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: amount of energy, oil reserves that they have in this

291
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: little country. It should be one of the wealthiest countries

292
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: on earth. But yet the people have suffered. They've suffered needlessly,

293
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: and they had suffered greatly, you know, with you know reserves,

294
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: if you look at all the political and economic turmoil.

295
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: According to the the Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy,

296
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: I mean oil reserves, I mean, is it is over

297
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: twice what we have in the US and we have

298
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: healthy oil reserve. They have about four times actually about

299
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: four times what we have, and Saudi Arabia a far

300
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: behind them, and that's why the Saudis are an oil

301
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: rich nation. But they have the world's largest oil reserves.

302
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: We built, meaning the United States of America built up

303
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: their oil industry. We bought it, we paid for it,

304
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: we built it, and they prospered When America was partnering

305
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: with Venezuela. The people of Venezuela partnered, but we built

306
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: up their entire oil industry. US oil companies spent untold

307
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: billions of dollars building up their oil industry and then

308
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: they nationalized it and stole it, and then by doing so,

309
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: they were stealing from oil companies in this country. Now

310
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: this is going to be rectified. It's going to take

311
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: some time to rectify it, and it's going to be

312
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: American companies that are investing billions more. And that's why

313
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: the President said, yes, they will until there is a transition.

314
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: I would imagine elections is what's going to take place,

315
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: and a new leadership. They'll be I'm sure they'll be

316
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: very friendly with the United States. But if you go back,

317
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: American oil companies have been operating in Venezuela since the

318
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties. It wasn't until nineteen seventy six Jimmy Carter

319
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez nationalized the oil industry, taking

320
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: control of American and other foreign oil assets in the

321
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: country and American companies. Once this got nationalized, they had

322
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: invested all of this money and they lost all of

323
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: this money. The State Department cable at the time from

324
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: the American ambassador to Venezuela said that nationalization is going

325
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: to come in any case, and that it was the

326
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: official position of the US government at the time that

327
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: it was against becoming involved in negotiations of that kind

328
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: that the government is conducting with oil companies. Remember, Hugo

329
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: Chavez two thousand and seven took another bite at the

330
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: apple and nationalized all remaining foreign oil assets in the nation,

331
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: which resulted in Exon Mobile, Conico, Phillips all leaving, you know,

332
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: completely Exon Mobil and Standard Oil predecessor of Standard Oil

333
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: from New Jersey. Exon and Mobile. You know, they operated,

334
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, throughout all of these years, and it helped

335
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: make Venezuela one of the richest countries on Earth. And

336
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: they can be again and probably in a very short

337
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: period of time, which is the upside. Now, Chevron, you know,

338
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: Gulf Oil is one of the original companies operating in Venezuela.

339
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: They acquired at NI. Chevron acquired that in nineteen eighty four,

340
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: and they received a billion dollar payout, which is nothing

341
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: compared to the amount that they had put into it.

342
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: So you know, that's the history of that part, that

343
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: aspect of it. I want to deal a little bit

344
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: with the legal aspect. You're listening to these idiots on

345
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: television and online and social media. You know, the more

346
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: and more I read social media, the less inclined I

347
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: am to pay attention to pretty much anybody. Although there

348
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: was one real good citizen journalist who did a great

349
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: job of going to the quote daycare centers that were

350
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: getting billions of dollars in the Somalia community in Minnesota

351
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: and did a great job exposing it. We'll hit that

352
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: later in the program when we check in with James Comer,

353
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: but you know, and we'll talk to Greg Jarrett in

354
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: the next hour about the legal aspect of all of this.

355
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: Remember it was Joe Biden that offered twenty five million

356
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: dollar reward from Maduro's arrest. I don't know if that

357
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: means that Donald Trump and the US military are going

358
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: to get a twenty five million dollar ward ward, but

359
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: that was Joe Biden's policy. And anyway, in almost in Unison,

360
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: you hear the demer this is illegal, unjustified, and unconstitutional.

361
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: And all these protesters in Mamdani's New York demanding that

362
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: Maduro be set free and sent back to Venezuela. What

363
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: to make the people suffer more and to let him

364
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: produce more drugs and send him into the United States.

365
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: And what was an organized narco terrorist crime organization. Oh

366
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: that's a good idea, that's brilliant. But they have, you know,

367
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: long been poisoning our citizens. You know, roughly to two

368
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty metric tons of cocaine shipped out of

369
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: Latin America annually, and with it, you know, fentanyl laced

370
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: cocaine is killing Americans every single day. We can't even

371
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: count how many people have died of these drug overdoses.

372
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: And it's it's part of the Maduro regime, which is

373
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: why under Biden's watch he was indicted. But the president,

374
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: under Article two, Section two of our Constitution, vests with

375
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: him inherent powers to unilaterally order armed forces into military action.

376
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: His command authority is supreme. As Greg Jarra pointed out

377
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: in his column, He'll join us later. He may conduct

378
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: campaigns and deploy operations by his own judgment, and short

379
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: of a formal declaration of war, President does not need

380
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: prior authorization from Congress to act. And those people that

381
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: are saying so don't know what the hell that they're saying.

382
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: They just make it up as they go along, and

383
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: they apply it selectively. You know, the US has captured

384
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: criminal suspects in foreign countries, including Momar Kadafi, Libya, but

385
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: it's sought to consent to local authorities, and the administration

386
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: describes Maduro as an illegitimate indicted leader. In nineteen eighty nine,

387
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: the US arrested General Manuel Noriega, the leader of Panama,

388
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: in similar circumstances. Noriega had been indicted on drug related charges.

389
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: If this sounds familiar, and Washington said it was acting

390
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: to protect the US citizens after Panamanian forces had killed

391
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: the US soldier the US. You know, we can't even

392
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: count how many Americans have died because of the importation

393
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: by this organized crime Narco terrorists, you know, syndicate into

394
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: this country. You might recall the former president of Honduras,

395
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: Juan Orlando Hernandez, was extradited to the US in twenty

396
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: twenty two, later convicted drug related charges, sentenced to forty

397
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: five years in prison. It was a good article in

398
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, and that said, the Noriega precedent

399
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: for Moduro's capture and prosecution. Trying a dictator has already

400
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: been tried, and courts rejected all of his legal defenses.

401
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: The only thing different is this time it's Donald Trump,

402
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: and the President said, lawmakers camping, how do you notify

403
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer? How do you notify members Democratic members of

404
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: Congress that hate Trump that you're about to engage in

405
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: military action. You don't think that's gonna leak, and you

406
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: don't think that that is going to endanger American troops

407
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: in such a delicate military operation. You know, I'd love

408
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. Let's go back to Chuck Schumer in twenty twenty.

409
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: This is what he said.

410
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: He brags about all these things he wants to do

411
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: or is doing, but his actions belie his words. Maybe

412
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: the best metaphor was his claim to bring democracy to Venezuela.

413
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: There was a big policy there.

414
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: It flopped.

415
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 2: If the policy was working, Juan Guido wouldn't be in

416
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: the balcony here, he'd be in Venezuela. He'd be sitting

417
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: in the president's palace or at least waging a fight

418
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 2: to win. He's here, and the president brags about his

419
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 2: Venezuela policy. Give us a break. He hasn't brought an

420
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 2: end to the Maduro race. The Meduro regime is more

421
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 2: powerful today and more intrenched today than it was when

422
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: the president began.

423
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: And now he's condemning Trump. I'll give you another example,

424
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: and again that didn't age well. That was Schumer in

425
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I have a tweet from twenty twenty from

426
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and this didn't age well. He said, Trump

427
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: talks tough on Venezuela but admires thugs and dictators like

428
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro. As president, I will stand with the Venezuelan

429
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: people for democracy. Well, if you look at the timeline

430
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: of Joe biden Is comments and actions as it relates

431
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: to Venezuela while he was president, you know, he tells

432
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: US senators the US will recognize you know, somebody else

433
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: as the legitimate president. He said he won't negotiate with

434
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: Maduro wink and Tony Blinken, you know, speaks with the

435
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: opposition leader and discusses a return to democracy. What happened

436
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: in the four years nothing Biden administration warrened Venezuela not

437
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: to accept weapons shipments from a range. What happened weapons

438
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: shipments from Iran came in is like you know, Obama

439
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 1: and Biden, them, both of them, you know, said oh,

440
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: we if we give you lots of money, the iranium

441
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: mullows and we dropped you know, cargo planes full of

442
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: cash and other currency, will you please not make nuclear weapons?

443
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: A lot of good? That did. Biden failed to take

444
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: any meaningful action the entire four years, and then chiallenge Trump, Oh,

445
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: Trump would never do any They did nothing, if anything

446
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: that they had not only failed to take any meaningful action.

447
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, US officials traveled to Venezuela for

448
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: a welfare visit focusing on the imprisonment of several oil executives.

449
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: And nothing happens. It's, i mean, just a colossal failure.

450
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: And then we have you know, we have tape of

451
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden going back delivering a message from the Democratic

452
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: Party calling on President Bush to top the flow of

453
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: drugs into the country. What happened to that party pretty amazing.

454
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna run a country, and Donald Trump

455
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: said that we're going to run this until such time

456
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: as we can do a safe, proper, judicious transition. That's it.

457
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: There's no forever war here. It isn't keeping with the

458
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: Trump doctrine, and it's in America's best interest. It's in

459
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: our hemisphere, and it's a direct threat to you know,

460
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: pretty much everyone in the country now, predictably of the

461
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 1: likes of AOC and others. You know, Donald Trump wouldn't

462
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: have pardon one of the largest narco terrorists. Blah blah blah, nicro.

463
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: You know, this is about oil, ranking Democrats, says Trump's actions,

464
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: it's you know, created more chaos and instability. Well, the

465
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: Venezuelan people and Venezuelans around the world don't seem to

466
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: feel that way. And you know, watching Schumer and Jeffrey's

467
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: demand the meeting is a joke. But there are somehow

468
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: Democrats that actually took the other side of this, and

469
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: actually some surprising names that you'll recognize Debbie Wasserman Schultz

470
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: was one of them. Numerous House Democrats praised Trump's capture

471
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,880

00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: fell off my chair when I read from Adam Kinsinger

473
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump made the right call, but then of course

474
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: adds a warning. What's the warning? Oh, okay, you broke it,

475
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 1: you own it? Well, I think Donald Trump ooning that

476
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: oil is a good thing. Then you have other Democrats

477
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: want to impeach Trump for arresting the Narco terrorists, New

Speaker 1: President George H. W. Bush moved to depose Manuel Noriega

481
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: instantly received bipartisan support. That's how corrupted this Democratic party

482
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: has become. Now run by Mom Donnie AOC, Jasmine Crockett,

483
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: and Grandpa Bernie
