Speaker 1: Thanks to all of you for being with us, and
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to all. Write down our toll free
Speaker 1: telephone number if you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: this extravaganza. It's a one hundred and ninety four to
Speaker 1: one Sean if you want to join us. Linda, did
Speaker 1: you miss me at all? Just be honest? Why? I
Speaker 1: mean the audio you didn't you? Of course audio the
Speaker 1: audience miss the audience that I want to say thank
Speaker 1: you to the audience for missing me. There's nothing in
Speaker 1: the news. Is nothing happening. London Times reporting a rand
Speaker 1: Supreme leader plans to flee to Russia if the anti
Speaker 1: regime riots get any worse. So, I mean, we're now
Speaker 1: at a moment of history where you could see the
Speaker 1: Iranian Mulla's fleeing to Russia in days or weeks. Cuba
Speaker 1: is on the precipice of falling. Maduro was in court
Speaker 1: in New York today. You know, it looks like Nicholas
Speaker 1: Maduro is not the only American enemy leader whose reign
Speaker 1: is about to come to an end. And there's really
Speaker 1: only one person you can thank for all of this,
Speaker 1: and that would be Donald J. Trump. As we now
Speaker 1: head into what I believe is the single most important
Speaker 1: midterm election in our lifetime. And I'm going to say
Speaker 1: that a lot in the coming year. And when I
Speaker 1: say it, some of you say, Hannady, you're repeating yourself.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you ahead of time. I will tell you
Speaker 1: and remind you daily at what is at stake here,
Speaker 1: all of the progress that you are going to now
Speaker 1: see the impact of a year's worth of economic policies
Speaker 1: driven by Donald J. Trump now literally heading into your
Speaker 1: pocket book and your wallet and your family. You're going
Speaker 1: to see lower interest rates. You're going to see the
Speaker 1: benefit of trillions of dollars in committed moneys from manufacturing
Speaker 1: make its way and fuse its way into the bloodstream
Speaker 1: of our economy. You're going to see energy prices drop,
Speaker 1: probably to all time lows, especially in light of what
Speaker 1: has just happened in Venezuela and what's going to happen
Speaker 1: in Iran or could possibly happen in Iran. For the
Speaker 1: London Times to report that Iran's Hyatola Kamanie, you know,
Speaker 1: as a backup plan to flee the country with a
Speaker 1: close circle of twenty aids and family, and of course
Speaker 1: they'll pillage and take every penny that they possibly can
Speaker 1: out of the country, but that Plan B is very
Speaker 1: real according to the London Times. We'll get into that
Speaker 1: as the program unfolds today. I mean, we have got
Speaker 1: Tim Walls making his announcement he's ended his re election
Speaker 1: bid bid because of all of the corruption. I love
Speaker 1: the New York Post headline from last week the Walls
Speaker 1: w w Alz close in and six days later with
Speaker 1: you know the sheriff hot on his trail. Governor Walls
Speaker 1: has pulled the plug on his reelection bid and New
Speaker 1: York Post reporting the governor Wall said Monday at zero sadness,
Speaker 1: zero regret in ending his reelection campaign, before denouncing political actors,
Speaker 1: I don't know who the citizen journalist is. A lot
Speaker 1: of these people, you know that get a microphone, they
Speaker 1: don't really do a lot of good work. They just don't.
Speaker 1: And a lot of them are you know, just too busy,
Speaker 1: you know, looking for clicks and figuring it out, figuring
Speaker 1: out algorithms that they can monetize, and you know, spewing
Speaker 1: you know, bizarre strange conspiracy theories and virulent anti semitism
Speaker 1: and and just division. I would argue that those people
Speaker 1: that are anti Semitic that are spewing division at a
Speaker 1: time when the Democrats are cracking up right before our eyes.
Speaker 1: Those people, if you look at the history of their
Speaker 1: support for the mag of movement, it's not very concerns.
Speaker 1: It seems to be, you know, a matter of convenience
Speaker 1: for a lot of them. Watching them implode is actually
Speaker 1: something that's that's fairly fascinating to me in some ways.
Speaker 1: But we'll get to all that in the course of
Speaker 1: this this day, this week, this month, this year. We've
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about. Uh, do we have
Speaker 1: to not start with how amazing, just like Operation Midnight
Speaker 1: Hammer was taking out a RAN's nuclear sites. Do we
Speaker 1: not have to pause and thank God for the greatest
Speaker 1: military on the face of God's green Earth. And you
Speaker 1: might think, well, this, this is We've done this before.
Speaker 1: There is no such thing as a risk free military operation,
Speaker 1: this sophisticated where they captured Maduro. And you know, I'm
Speaker 1: already listening to the naysayers out there, and the you know,
Speaker 1: predictable naysayers, most of them. You're dealing with an illegitimate dictator.
Speaker 1: He was not elected. He stole the last two elections,
Speaker 1: just like his predecessor, Hugo Chavez before him and indicted
Speaker 1: here in the United States six years ago, and a
Speaker 1: narco terrorist. It is not something that we've not seen
Speaker 1: in the history of this country before. We've seen it
Speaker 1: with Noriega and Saddam and Grenada and where was the
Speaker 1: other one? I think it was Columbia. We've seen this
Speaker 1: movie before and you know it was It's really remarkable.
Speaker 1: You know that the corrupt state run legacy media mob
Speaker 1: and fake news CNN and MSDNC, they don't look happy
Speaker 1: about the successful military operation and developments and the end
Speaker 1: of the Maduro regime. If you look at natural resources,
Speaker 1: just the sheer volume of resources that Venezuela has in
Speaker 1: terms of oil. Now, it's not the best oil, it's
Speaker 1: not the cleanest oil. What does that mean. It's considered
Speaker 1: dirtier oil. That means that it needs far more refiner
Speaker 1: refining than does say the oil that we're extracting here
Speaker 1: in the United States. But you have Venezuelans dancing in
Speaker 1: the streets. You have Venezuelans all over the country dancing
Speaker 1: in the streets. You have Venezuelans, you know, in my
Speaker 1: free state of Florida. They are cheering Donald Trump's decision
Speaker 1: to remove Maduro. One of the consequences of this is
Speaker 1: we now are living in a moment where Cuba is
Speaker 1: on the brink as a result of the President's actions here.
Speaker 1: And that's fascinating to watch when you get the operational
Speaker 1: details as they become more available, and I've talked to
Speaker 1: a lot of people, very good sources. This was a
Speaker 1: very very well thought out, sophisticated military operation that was
Speaker 1: extraordinarily dangerous. Apparently we did have CIA sources inside the
Speaker 1: Venezuelan government, which is why we were able to map
Speaker 1: out and duplicate and actually make a model of Maduro's
Speaker 1: home as we had Delta Force troops and others invade
Speaker 1: and they got to him. From the moment they got
Speaker 1: to that palace or of that home he was living in,
Speaker 1: it took them less than three minutes to get to him.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's how quick it was, and how amazing
Speaker 1: they are, And all hats off to all of them
Speaker 1: for the great work that they've done here. Now the
Speaker 1: you know, I love the fact that the President is
Speaker 1: calling it the Donroe doctrine. We have had the Monroe
Speaker 1: doctrine and effect for a long time, and that is
Speaker 1: that we are not going to allow for an influence
Speaker 1: in our hemisphere, obviously for national security reasons. And as
Speaker 1: you go back in time and you look and you
Speaker 1: see exile Venezuelans around the world celebrating, you know, the
Speaker 1: the removal of Maduro. Do you know nearly ten million
Speaker 1: Venezuelans had had to flee the country as a result
Speaker 1: of all of this. And do you know that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump offered this guy multiple off ramps in keeping with
Speaker 1: the Trump doctrine, give them an opportunity for peace, give
Speaker 1: them an opportunity. But it was obvious that that Meduro
Speaker 1: was just arrogant and and I guess felt that, you know,
Speaker 1: he it was impt impenetrable, and it's not. And you
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are down there, well, President
Speaker 1: Trump is taking over the country temporarily, because why would
Speaker 1: we expend all this political effort and military effort and
Speaker 1: allow somebody to take over and and just replace Maduro
Speaker 1: and keep in place the policies that have impoverished the
Speaker 1: people of Venezuela. That would be pretty stupid. That would
Speaker 1: mean that was a waste of time, energy, effort, and
Speaker 1: a risk for our military. No the President said, until
Speaker 1: a permanent leader can be found the US government. Yes,
Speaker 1: we'll run Venezuela until such time as we can do
Speaker 1: a safe, proper, judicious transition. One of the people, obviously
Speaker 1: that we've had on this program many times before, Maria
Speaker 1: Marshadow she's actually gonna be on TV with us tonight,
Speaker 1: would be one of the leading candidates. But Maria Marschado,
Speaker 1: she was the one if your recall, won the Nobel
Speaker 1: Peace Prize and said I don't deserve this, it really
Speaker 1: belongs to President Trump. It will be interesting to see
Speaker 1: if she addresses that tonight when she's on with me,
Speaker 1: and I want to see what happens. But they've not
Speaker 1: had honest elections in Venezuela for a long time. Now
Speaker 1: for the short term here, the presumed successor, the Vice President,
Speaker 1: Dels Rodriguez, is a hard cored and there are rumors
Speaker 1: that she may be in Russia even now now in
Speaker 1: exile herself. But we don't know. We do know that
Speaker 1: she is a radical socialist. We do know she's a
Speaker 1: hardline socialist who kept Maduro in power for years. And
Speaker 1: you know she's been trying to sound like she's lecturing
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and demanding the return of Maduro. She also
Speaker 1: serves as the Minister of Finance and Oil, slamming this
Speaker 1: as an atrocity that violates international law, none of which
Speaker 1: is true. It is constitutional, it is with plenty of precedents,
Speaker 1: and will have Greg Jared address the legal aspect of
Speaker 1: all this. But if you look at her, you know
Speaker 1: she will either comply with what President Trump demands is
Speaker 1: going to happen there in the interim, or she will
Speaker 1: herself be out of power, and that'll happen very quickly.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be a long protracted negotiation with her.
Speaker 1: The Department of Justice under Pambona, the Attorney General, is
Speaker 1: vowed Madura and his wife will faith faced the full
Speaker 1: wrath of American justice. As I said he was in
Speaker 1: court earlier today, we're hearing that the evidence against Maduro
Speaker 1: will be overwhelming, according to one federal prosecutor, Jonathan Fahi,
Speaker 1: telling Fox News that US forces captured Maduro, flew him
Speaker 1: to New York City and he's expected. He faced the
Speaker 1: arrangement earlier today and there will be a criminal trial.
Speaker 1: My guess is it would be I'd be hard pressed
Speaker 1: to see a scenario in which he's not convicted. Although
Speaker 1: there's so many lunatics in New York now run by
Speaker 1: Marxist Kami Mamdani. I guess anything could possibly happen here.
Speaker 1: Former Attorney General Bill Barr predicting the Venezuelan President Maduro
Speaker 1: could face a sentence rivaling that a former Panamanian Dictatorman
Speaker 1: Manuel nor Jega. And by the way, he was charged
Speaker 1: with multiple crimes by several countries, including a forty year
Speaker 1: sentence for drug trafficking in the US or seventeen years
Speaker 1: of that sentence before being expedited to France, where he
Speaker 1: served a seven year sentence for money laundering. Finally, extra
Speaker 1: dieded back to Panama for a sixty year sentence on
Speaker 1: murder and corruption charges, where he died in prison in
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. I would imagine that will be the fate.
Speaker 1: He's not having stake in his palace right now as
Speaker 1: we speak. That's not going to happen. Look, you have
Speaker 1: predictable reaction, and then there was some unpredictable reaction, which
Speaker 1: I'll get to. And obviously the anybody that believes in
Speaker 1: liberty and freedom now a lot of people saying, well, well,
Speaker 1: how is this not nation building, Hannity, How is this
Speaker 1: not a forever war. It's not going to be a
Speaker 1: forever war. There's no conflict going on right now. There's
Speaker 1: nothing happening. The only thing that is happening is this
Speaker 1: president is making sure that all these American companies. Remember
Speaker 1: they nationalized all of the oil industry in Venezuela. When
Speaker 1: they did that, they stole all of the equipment from
Speaker 1: American companies that had built out. And I'll go through
Speaker 1: the details of this. Their economy, their energy industry, and
Speaker 1: they did it with great skill and precision, and that's
Speaker 1: why it should be one of the richest countries on Earth.
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget the scene when Jorge Ramos and
Speaker 1: I've debated Hoge Ramos. I actually like him a lot personally.
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy, and he went to Venezuela, a
Speaker 1: country that should be so rich. They have the second
Speaker 1: largest oil reserves in the entire world. End not the
Speaker 1: best oil, but oil that can be refined. But it
Speaker 1: would take US companies to do it and US refineries
Speaker 1: to do it. And I'm sure they can build them
Speaker 1: in Venezuela. They can bring the oil here and that
Speaker 1: will help make the people of Venezuela rich. Also, those
Speaker 1: companies can recoup the money that was stolen from them
Speaker 1: when these oil industry was nationalized. And I would imagine,
Speaker 1: knowing Donald Trump, that probably will be a financial windfall
Speaker 1: for this country as well. But it was the right
Speaker 1: thing to do, as this guy is pure evil. And
Speaker 1: that's the thing I mean. I've heard commentary by some well,
Speaker 1: if things in Venezuela are just wonderful and there's no rape,
Speaker 1: and there's no crime, and there's okay, it's when you
Speaker 1: kill American citizens by being a part of a narco
Speaker 1: terrorist organization that profits off the death of American citizens.
Speaker 1: Why is that not a moral imperative to every human
Speaker 1: being to make sure that comes to a swift end. Anyway,
Speaker 1: those people are barely worth discussing. Look, there are some
Speaker 1: of you still suffering under the Biden Harris economic disaster.
Speaker 1: Although taxes are lower as of four days ago, well
Speaker 1: five days ago, and that means that you'll be paying less.
Speaker 1: Interest rates now down a full point. We have a
Speaker 1: new FED share coming in May. That means interest rates
Speaker 1: will go down further. That means sales or pre existing
Speaker 1: homes will go up. That means new home construction. We're
Speaker 1: down some six million homes that are needed in this country.
Speaker 1: They will be built. And if you're a homeowner and
Speaker 1: maybe you're living paycheck to paycheck, or maybe you're putting
Speaker 1: bare necessities on credit cards with twenty one twenty five
Speaker 1: percent interest rates, but you still want to hang on
Speaker 1: to your home. You know your low interest rate that
Speaker 1: you currently have. You don't have to give it up
Speaker 1: because our friends at American Financing have a solution without
Speaker 1: you giving up your low mortgage thirty year fixed rate
Speaker 1: mortgage that you got many years ago. Anyway, they will
Speaker 1: give you a free no obligation, no pressure, consultation. Just
Speaker 1: give them a call at American Financing eight six six
Speaker 1: six one five ninety two hundred eighty six six six
Speaker 1: five ninety two hundred. You can also check them out
Speaker 1: on the web it's American Financing dot slash Hannity. And yeah,
Speaker 1: prosperous times are on the way, thank God. The one
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill now in effect. All right, twenty five
Speaker 1: now until the top of the hour. Eight hundred and
Speaker 1: nine to four one Sean is our number, and happy
Speaker 1: New Year to all of you and your families. I
Speaker 1: think is going to be the most important midterm election
Speaker 1: in our lifetime. We will lay out the case of
Speaker 1: what is at stake in the days, weeks, months ahead,
Speaker 1: and I'm just urging all of you to make a
Speaker 1: resolution this new year to be ready for a battle
Speaker 1: and be prepared and prepare yourself that you are not
Speaker 1: going to let this country be set on the wrong
Speaker 1: path again. Too many times we get too complacent. And
Speaker 1: if people are complacent in this midterm, you know you
Speaker 1: run the risk at all the progress in the last year,
Speaker 1: all the benefits that we're going to reap this year
Speaker 1: year from the progress of last year, both around the
Speaker 1: world and domestically and economically. And I have been predicting
Speaker 1: by the third quarter of this year, probably way before it,
Speaker 1: but I want to give enough runway for the economy
Speaker 1: to make a full recovery. All the pieces are in place,
Speaker 1: urgest tax cut in history, no tax on tips, overtime
Speaker 1: social security, energy prices now the lowest they've been in
Speaker 1: five years, and they're probably going to get lower interest
Speaker 1: rates now coming down. That's going to spur economic activity,
Speaker 1: sal of pre existing homes, new home construction, all of that,
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars in manufacturing dollar moneies that are now
Speaker 1: dedicated to the country. We've never had all of this combined.
Speaker 1: And it's going to benefit every single American. And just watch.
Speaker 1: We got the first indication of this with the last
Speaker 1: GDP report, which came out just after I've got on vacation,
Speaker 1: was a four point three percent GDP growth. We've not
Speaker 1: seen that in forever. Remember we had Biden inflation nine percent.
Speaker 1: It was insane. Let me first deal with the oil issue.
Speaker 1: And if you look at the the countries with the
Speaker 1: largest oil reserves by far, it's Venezuela and Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 1: Venezuela topping Saudi Arabia. I mean, it is a massive
Speaker 1: amount of energy, oil reserves that they have in this
Speaker 1: little country. It should be one of the wealthiest countries
Speaker 1: on earth. But yet the people have suffered. They've suffered needlessly,
Speaker 1: and they had suffered greatly, you know, with you know reserves,
Speaker 1: if you look at all the political and economic turmoil.
Speaker 1: According to the the Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy,
Speaker 1: I mean oil reserves, I mean, is it is over
Speaker 1: twice what we have in the US and we have
Speaker 1: healthy oil reserve. They have about four times actually about
Speaker 1: four times what we have, and Saudi Arabia a far
Speaker 1: behind them, and that's why the Saudis are an oil
Speaker 1: rich nation. But they have the world's largest oil reserves.
Speaker 1: We built, meaning the United States of America built up
Speaker 1: their oil industry. We bought it, we paid for it,
Speaker 1: we built it, and they prospered When America was partnering
Speaker 1: with Venezuela. The people of Venezuela partnered, but we built
Speaker 1: up their entire oil industry. US oil companies spent untold
Speaker 1: billions of dollars building up their oil industry and then
Speaker 1: they nationalized it and stole it, and then by doing so,
Speaker 1: they were stealing from oil companies in this country. Now
Speaker 1: this is going to be rectified. It's going to take
Speaker 1: some time to rectify it, and it's going to be
Speaker 1: American companies that are investing billions more. And that's why
Speaker 1: the President said, yes, they will until there is a transition.
Speaker 1: I would imagine elections is what's going to take place,
Speaker 1: and a new leadership. They'll be I'm sure they'll be
Speaker 1: very friendly with the United States. But if you go back,
Speaker 1: American oil companies have been operating in Venezuela since the
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties. It wasn't until nineteen seventy six Jimmy Carter
Speaker 1: Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez nationalized the oil industry, taking
Speaker 1: control of American and other foreign oil assets in the
Speaker 1: country and American companies. Once this got nationalized, they had
Speaker 1: invested all of this money and they lost all of
Speaker 1: this money. The State Department cable at the time from
Speaker 1: the American ambassador to Venezuela said that nationalization is going
Speaker 1: to come in any case, and that it was the
Speaker 1: official position of the US government at the time that
Speaker 1: it was against becoming involved in negotiations of that kind
Speaker 1: that the government is conducting with oil companies. Remember, Hugo
Speaker 1: Chavez two thousand and seven took another bite at the
Speaker 1: apple and nationalized all remaining foreign oil assets in the nation,
Speaker 1: which resulted in Exon Mobile, Conico, Phillips all leaving, you know,
Speaker 1: completely Exon Mobil and Standard Oil predecessor of Standard Oil
Speaker 1: from New Jersey. Exon and Mobile. You know, they operated,
Speaker 1: you know, throughout all of these years, and it helped
Speaker 1: make Venezuela one of the richest countries on Earth. And
Speaker 1: they can be again and probably in a very short
Speaker 1: period of time, which is the upside. Now, Chevron, you know,
Speaker 1: Gulf Oil is one of the original companies operating in Venezuela.
Speaker 1: They acquired at NI. Chevron acquired that in nineteen eighty four,
Speaker 1: and they received a billion dollar payout, which is nothing
Speaker 1: compared to the amount that they had put into it.
Speaker 1: So you know, that's the history of that part, that
Speaker 1: aspect of it. I want to deal a little bit
Speaker 1: with the legal aspect. You're listening to these idiots on
Speaker 1: television and online and social media. You know, the more
Speaker 1: and more I read social media, the less inclined I
Speaker 1: am to pay attention to pretty much anybody. Although there
Speaker 1: was one real good citizen journalist who did a great
Speaker 1: job of going to the quote daycare centers that were
Speaker 1: getting billions of dollars in the Somalia community in Minnesota
Speaker 1: and did a great job exposing it. We'll hit that
Speaker 1: later in the program when we check in with James Comer,
Speaker 1: but you know, and we'll talk to Greg Jarrett in
Speaker 1: the next hour about the legal aspect of all of this.
Speaker 1: Remember it was Joe Biden that offered twenty five million
Speaker 1: dollar reward from Maduro's arrest. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: means that Donald Trump and the US military are going
Speaker 1: to get a twenty five million dollar ward ward, but
Speaker 1: that was Joe Biden's policy. And anyway, in almost in Unison,
Speaker 1: you hear the demer this is illegal, unjustified, and unconstitutional.
Speaker 1: And all these protesters in Mamdani's New York demanding that
Speaker 1: Maduro be set free and sent back to Venezuela. What
Speaker 1: to make the people suffer more and to let him
Speaker 1: produce more drugs and send him into the United States.
Speaker 1: And what was an organized narco terrorist crime organization. Oh
Speaker 1: that's a good idea, that's brilliant. But they have, you know,
Speaker 1: long been poisoning our citizens. You know, roughly to two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty metric tons of cocaine shipped out of
Speaker 1: Latin America annually, and with it, you know, fentanyl laced
Speaker 1: cocaine is killing Americans every single day. We can't even
Speaker 1: count how many people have died of these drug overdoses.
Speaker 1: And it's it's part of the Maduro regime, which is
Speaker 1: why under Biden's watch he was indicted. But the president,
Speaker 1: under Article two, Section two of our Constitution, vests with
Speaker 1: him inherent powers to unilaterally order armed forces into military action.
Speaker 1: His command authority is supreme. As Greg Jarra pointed out
Speaker 1: in his column, He'll join us later. He may conduct
Speaker 1: campaigns and deploy operations by his own judgment, and short
Speaker 1: of a formal declaration of war, President does not need
Speaker 1: prior authorization from Congress to act. And those people that
Speaker 1: are saying so don't know what the hell that they're saying.
Speaker 1: They just make it up as they go along, and
Speaker 1: they apply it selectively. You know, the US has captured
Speaker 1: criminal suspects in foreign countries, including Momar Kadafi, Libya, but
Speaker 1: it's sought to consent to local authorities, and the administration
Speaker 1: describes Maduro as an illegitimate indicted leader. In nineteen eighty nine,
Speaker 1: the US arrested General Manuel Noriega, the leader of Panama,
Speaker 1: in similar circumstances. Noriega had been indicted on drug related charges.
Speaker 1: If this sounds familiar, and Washington said it was acting
Speaker 1: to protect the US citizens after Panamanian forces had killed
Speaker 1: the US soldier the US. You know, we can't even
Speaker 1: count how many Americans have died because of the importation
Speaker 1: by this organized crime Narco terrorists, you know, syndicate into
Speaker 1: this country. You might recall the former president of Honduras,
Speaker 1: Juan Orlando Hernandez, was extradited to the US in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, later convicted drug related charges, sentenced to forty
Speaker 1: five years in prison. It was a good article in
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, and that said, the Noriega precedent
Speaker 1: for Moduro's capture and prosecution. Trying a dictator has already
Speaker 1: been tried, and courts rejected all of his legal defenses.
Speaker 1: The only thing different is this time it's Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and the President said, lawmakers camping, how do you notify
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer? How do you notify members Democratic members of
Speaker 1: Congress that hate Trump that you're about to engage in
Speaker 1: military action. You don't think that's gonna leak, and you
Speaker 1: don't think that that is going to endanger American troops
Speaker 1: in such a delicate military operation. You know, I'd love
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. Let's go back to Chuck Schumer in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: This is what he said.
Speaker 2: He brags about all these things he wants to do
Speaker 2: or is doing, but his actions belie his words. Maybe
Speaker 2: the best metaphor was his claim to bring democracy to Venezuela.
Speaker 2: There was a big policy there.
Speaker 1: It flopped.
Speaker 2: If the policy was working, Juan Guido wouldn't be in
Speaker 2: the balcony here, he'd be in Venezuela. He'd be sitting
Speaker 2: in the president's palace or at least waging a fight
Speaker 2: to win. He's here, and the president brags about his
Speaker 2: Venezuela policy. Give us a break. He hasn't brought an
Speaker 2: end to the Maduro race. The Meduro regime is more
Speaker 2: powerful today and more intrenched today than it was when
Speaker 2: the president began.
Speaker 1: And now he's condemning Trump. I'll give you another example,
Speaker 1: and again that didn't age well. That was Schumer in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I have a tweet from twenty twenty from
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and this didn't age well. He said, Trump
Speaker 1: talks tough on Venezuela but admires thugs and dictators like
Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro. As president, I will stand with the Venezuelan
Speaker 1: people for democracy. Well, if you look at the timeline
Speaker 1: of Joe biden Is comments and actions as it relates
Speaker 1: to Venezuela while he was president, you know, he tells
Speaker 1: US senators the US will recognize you know, somebody else
Speaker 1: as the legitimate president. He said he won't negotiate with
Speaker 1: Maduro wink and Tony Blinken, you know, speaks with the
Speaker 1: opposition leader and discusses a return to democracy. What happened
Speaker 1: in the four years nothing Biden administration warrened Venezuela not
Speaker 1: to accept weapons shipments from a range. What happened weapons
Speaker 1: shipments from Iran came in is like you know, Obama
Speaker 1: and Biden, them, both of them, you know, said oh,
Speaker 1: we if we give you lots of money, the iranium
Speaker 1: mullows and we dropped you know, cargo planes full of
Speaker 1: cash and other currency, will you please not make nuclear weapons?
Speaker 1: A lot of good? That did. Biden failed to take
Speaker 1: any meaningful action the entire four years, and then chiallenge Trump, Oh,
Speaker 1: Trump would never do any They did nothing, if anything
Speaker 1: that they had not only failed to take any meaningful action.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, US officials traveled to Venezuela for
Speaker 1: a welfare visit focusing on the imprisonment of several oil executives.
Speaker 1: And nothing happens. It's, i mean, just a colossal failure.
Speaker 1: And then we have you know, we have tape of
Speaker 1: Joe Biden going back delivering a message from the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party calling on President Bush to top the flow of
Speaker 1: drugs into the country. What happened to that party pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna run a country, and Donald Trump
Speaker 1: said that we're going to run this until such time
Speaker 1: as we can do a safe, proper, judicious transition. That's it.
Speaker 1: There's no forever war here. It isn't keeping with the
Speaker 1: Trump doctrine, and it's in America's best interest. It's in
Speaker 1: our hemisphere, and it's a direct threat to you know,
Speaker 1: pretty much everyone in the country now, predictably of the
Speaker 1: likes of AOC and others. You know, Donald Trump wouldn't
Speaker 1: have pardon one of the largest narco terrorists. Blah blah blah, nicro.
Speaker 1: You know, this is about oil, ranking Democrats, says Trump's actions,
Speaker 1: it's you know, created more chaos and instability. Well, the
Speaker 1: Venezuelan people and Venezuelans around the world don't seem to
Speaker 1: feel that way. And you know, watching Schumer and Jeffrey's
Speaker 1: demand the meeting is a joke. But there are somehow
Speaker 1: Democrats that actually took the other side of this, and
Speaker 1: actually some surprising names that you'll recognize Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Speaker 1: was one of them. Numerous House Democrats praised Trump's capture
Speaker 1: of Maduro Venezuelans deserved the promise of democracy. I nearly
Speaker 1: fell off my chair when I read from Adam Kinsinger
Speaker 1: Donald Trump made the right call, but then of course
Speaker 1: adds a warning. What's the warning? Oh, okay, you broke it,
Speaker 1: you own it? Well, I think Donald Trump ooning that
Speaker 1: oil is a good thing. Then you have other Democrats
Speaker 1: want to impeach Trump for arresting the Narco terrorists, New
Speaker 1: York State democrats citing I'll released them a narco terrorists.
Speaker 1: Now Kamala Harris same thing. And by the way, when
Speaker 1: President George H. W. Bush moved to depose Manuel Noriega
Speaker 1: instantly received bipartisan support. That's how corrupted this Democratic party
Speaker 1: has become. Now run by Mom Donnie AOC, Jasmine Crockett,
Speaker 1: and Grandpa Bernie
