00:00Gracias.
00:05Tim Kaine, the fact that we're five months into this.
00:10In your testimony, you reserved the right to use force again.
00:15In the future, if the Venezuelan government isn't complying...
00:21...with your requests.
00:23So if, for instance, they refuse...
00:25...to give you access to the oil in the future...
00:27...if they said, we're just going to keep it for ourselves.
00:30Would this cause you to consider military action?
00:33And do you concede that if you're...
00:35...you're using military action simply to try to compel cooperation from the government?
00:40You absolutely need congressional authorization for that.
00:43So if...
00:44Look, the president never...
00:45He rules out his options as commander-in-chief to protect the national interest of the United States.
00:49I can tell you right now...
00:50...with full certainty, we are not postured to nor do we intend or expect to have to take...
00:55...any military action in Venezuela at any time.
00:58The only military presence you will see in Venezuela...
01:00...is our marine guards at an embassy.
01:02Okay, that is our goal.
01:03That is our expectation.
01:05And that is what everything that outlines towards.
01:07But if...
01:08That said, if an Iranian drone factory pops up...
01:10...and threatens our forces in the region, the president retains the option to eliminate that threat.
01:14I'm at this operation...
01:15...on September 2nd, with the attack on Venezuelans in boats and open...
01:20...waters...
01:21...and now...
01:22I want to be clear and I'll share with you what I've shared publicly.
01:24I want to be clear and I'll share with you what I've shared publicly.
01:25We made multiple attempts to get Maduro to leave voluntarily.
01:30...and to avoid all of this because we understood that he was an impediment to progress.
01:34You couldn't make a deal with this.
01:35This guy.
01:36This guy has made multiple deals.
01:37He's broken every one of them.
01:38As a point of example...
01:39...four hours to take our...
01:40...president.
01:41It's very short.
01:42Nobody dies on the other side.
01:43Nobody dies on our side.
01:45It's perfect.
01:45Would it be an act of war?
01:46We just don't believe that this operation comes anywhere close to the...
01:50...constitutional definition of war.
01:51But would it be an act of war if someone did it to us?
01:53Nobody dies.
01:54Few...
01:55Two casualties.
01:56They're in and out.
01:57Boom.
01:58It's a perfect military operation.
01:59Would that be an act of war?
02:00Of course it would be an act of war.
02:02I'm probably the most anti-war person in the sense...
02:05...of the Senate.
02:06And I would vote to declare war if someone invaded our country and took our president.
02:10So I think we need to at least acknowledge this is a one-way argument.
02:15One-way arguments that don't rebound.
02:17The U.S. always has the right to act in its national interest.
02:20And to protect itself.
02:21So...
02:22I don't know about this equivalency.
02:23Does this justify them doing it?
02:25We're always going to do what's best for the United States and America.
02:27We're always going to protect our system.
02:28But the point isn't...
02:29And you're...
02:30You're exactly right.
02:31We will act in our national interest and we should.
02:33So I'm not disagreeing with you at all.
02:35What...
02:35What I'm saying is that our arguments are empty then.
02:38The drug bust isn't really an argument.
02:40It's a ruse.
02:41The war argument, not a war, is a war, is a ruse.
02:44It's not a...
02:45It's a real argument.
02:46And we do what we do because we are...
02:49We have the...
02:50We have the force.
02:51We have the might.
02:52We do it because it's in our interest.
02:53So we wouldn't let anybody come in, bomb us.
02:55Blockade us and take our president.
03:00Your values.
03:01We have the Arthuriane Guillory...
03:02Incorporated.
03:03Let's make a new assassination of them.
03:04That means you can go on with him.
03:05There are no words.
03:06In their희, they turn out with them.
03:07The Harvardian Guillory...
03:08Is not a knife...
03:09What...
03:10Aunt Gus, give us a penis.
03:11And we're not a guns.
03:12A gun...
03:13They ain't got this knife.
03:14As he entered into her...
03:15!
03:16The marketing thing that I was doing,
03:17To protect his eyes anywhere,
03:18Oh my.
03:19Did you survive?
03:20I'm not getting sick and this...
03:21Deep in the night.
03:22quella war...
03:24We have the truth from it...
03:25Where was still hanging out with him?
03:28Over here?
