00:00Vance jokes about deadly U.S. airstrikes draws laughs from MAGA crowd.

00:05At a Michigan rally, Vice President J.D. Vance got laughs from the crowd as he joked and defended

00:10President Donald Trump's decision to launch deadly airstrikes on boats allegedly carrying

00:14drugs in the Caribbean.

00:17President Trump ordered strikes on at least two Venezuelan boats in the Caribbean, claiming

00:21they were transporting narco-terrorists.

00:24Footage of the attacks was later shared by Trump on Truth Social.

00:27Vance, along with other top officials, downplayed legal concerns surrounding the strikes in

00:32international waters.

00:34On stage, the Vice President said he was proud of Trump's decisions and revealed he had discussed

00:39the matter with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

00:42Vance recalled telling Hegseth that drug boats had stopped coming, joking he wouldn't even

00:46go fishing there now.

00:48He said this showed what a focused military and commander-in-chief can achieve, arguing

00:52that if the government put Americans' interests first, it could secure the country, protect

00:57jobs, raise wages, and stop deadly drugs from entering.

01:00When asked about the legal basis for the strikes, Hegseth stood firm on his stance.

01:09First of all, just the defense of the American people alone.

01:13A hundred thousand Americans were killed each year under the previous administration because

01:17of an open border and open drug traffic flow.
