00:00There's reporting the U.S. just sent B-1 bombers near Venezuela to ramp up some military pressure
00:05there. Is that accurate? And can you tell us more about that? No, it's not accurate. No,
00:09it's false. But we're not happy with Venezuela for a lot of reasons, drugs being one of them.
00:16Is there any evidence that China is now smuggling fentanyl through Venezuela to bypass U.S. and
00:21Mexican port controls? They are doing that, yes. But they are paying right now a 20% tariff because
00:29of fentanyl. That's billions and billions of dollars that they're paying. So now they're
00:34coming in by land. And even the land is concerned because I told them that's going to be next. You
00:38know, the land is going to be next. And we may go to the Senate. We may go to the Congress and
00:43tell them about it. But I can't imagine they'd have any problem with it. I think, in fact,
00:49while we're here, I think it's a good idea. You go to Congress, you tell them about it. What are
00:53they going to do? Say, gee, we don't want to stop drugs pouring in. They're killing 300,000 people a
00:58year. I think that's the real number, 300,000 people a year. So between that and my discussion
01:03with President Xi, I think we're, we have never made progress like we've made.
01:08A moment ago, you said that if Secretary Hegseth went to Congress and briefed them on the
01:14operation. No, we will go. You will go. And it would be difficult for them to object.
01:18I don't see any Lawson going. No reason not to. You know, they'll always complain, oh,
01:21we should have gone. So we're going to definitely, I'd like to just tell you, let's go. We'll go.
01:26We're going to tell them what we're going to do. And I think they're going to probably like it,
01:30except for the radical left lunatics. And Mr. President, if you are declaring war
01:34against these cartels and Congress is likely to approve of that process, why not just ask for
01:41a declaration of war? Well, I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war.
01:47I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay. We're
01:52going to kill them. You know, they're going to be like dead. Okay. I'm up for murder.
01:58Didn't know what he was saying, obviously. You know, I'm sure his lawyer was.
02:02On the cartel strategy, hearing you talk about his war, hearing Secretary Hegseth talk about
02:06defeating and destroying and the comparisons to ISIS and Al-Qaeda, those efforts took American
02:11troops being engaged in foreign countries. Do you think that's ultimately where this is headed
02:15with the cartels, having American troops in countries like Venezuela?
02:18Those cartels are very bad. They had a lot of bad people coming in. They were interviewed
02:22recently and they were asking people what their problem was. And one guy said, yes, I was,
02:29I'm up for murder. Didn't know what he was saying, obviously. You know, I'm sure his lawyer was not
02:34thrilled with his statement, but no, they're rough people coming into those cartels. Those cartels are
02:41rough. You look at what happens. The trip up, the trip up is horrible, especially for women. They're
02:47being killed. They're being raped at levels that nobody thought even possible.
