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
01:14operations against these. No, we will go, I see. You will go. And it would be difficult for
01:17them to object. We will go. I don't see any Lawson going. No reason not to. You know,
01:20they'll always complain, oh, we should have gone. So we're going to definitely, I'd like to just
01:24tell you, let's go. We'll go. We're going to tell them what we're going to do. And I think
01:29they're going to probably like it, except for the radical left lunatics. And Mr. President,
01:33if you are declaring war against these cartels and Congress is likely to approve of that process,
01:40why not just ask for a declaration of war? Well, I don't think we're going to necessarily
01:45ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into
01:50our country. Okay. We're going to kill them. You know, they're going to be like dead. Okay.
01:56I'm up for murder. Didn't know what he was saying, obviously, you know, I'm sure his lawyer was.
02:01On 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 troops
02:11being engaged in foreign countries. Do you think that's ultimately where this is headed with the
02:16cartels, having American troops in countries like Venezuela? No, the cartels are very bad.
02:20They had a lot of bad people coming in. They were interviewed recently and they were asking
02:25people what their problem was. And one guy said, yes, I was, I'm up for murder. Didn't know what
02:32he was saying, obviously, you know, I'm sure his lawyer was not thrilled with his statement, but
02:36no, they're rough people coming into those cartels. Those cartels are rough. You look at what happens,
02:43the trip up, the trip up is horrible, especially for women. They're being killed. They're being raped at
02:48levels that nobody thought even possible.
