00:00As the president is so good at, I'll try to be just as good. I'm not going to broadcast
00:03any actions that may or may not be happening with respect to Venezuela
00:07about the administration's position, as has the president and his national security team.
00:12We view the Maduro regime as being illegitimate. The president has been very satisfied with the
00:17successful strikes against narco-terrorists and foreign terrorists.
00:21Are we entering a new phase in Venezuela? And what does that entail?
00:24Well, as the president is so good at, I'll try to be just as good. I'm not going to broadcast
00:29any actions that may or may not be happening with respect to Venezuela.
00:33I know I've been very clear about the administration's position, as has the
00:36president and his national security team. We view the Maduro regime as being illegitimate,
00:41and the president has been very satisfied with the successful strikes against narco-terrorists
00:47and foreign terrorists that are illegally trafficking drugs towards the United States
00:52of America. He's not going to tolerate that, and you can expect to see those strikes continue.
00:55The idea that the United States of America is not engaging with both sides equally in this war to
01:01bring it to an end is a complete and total fallacy. And I saw a lot of misinformation and
01:06rumors and allegations against people in this building, such as Secretary Rubio and Special
01:11Envoy Winkoff and the president himself, that they are favoring one side over the other.
01:15That could not be further from the truth. I have watched as the president and his team
01:19have worked around the clock overnight with both sides on endless phone calls, endless meetings
01:26to try to bring this war to a close. And any suggestion otherwise is a complete misunderstanding
01:31of the facts. It's coming from people who have no idea what they're talking about,
01:35or people who are pushing their own agenda, or maybe people who don't want to see this war come
01:39to an end. I don't know. Maybe they're profiting off of it. Maybe they benefit from it in some way,
01:44but nobody in this building benefits from war. We want to see this war come to an end,
01:47and that's what the president and his team are proudly working to do. And I think the critics
01:51should just take a step back and think about what happened with Israel and Gaza. There were a lot
01:56of doubters, and we got the hostages out, and this president secured a peace deal that still exists
02:00and is ongoing today. So everyone should just respect the work this administration is doing
02:04and watch the process unfold.
