00:01:05.340 This is the 77 WABC minicast.
00:01:10.960 Is it war? Is it illegal? Is Trump a war criminal?
00:01:15.760 Did he circumvent the Constitution by not informing Congress of his intentions in Venezuela?
00:01:27.760 Oh, my God.
00:01:29.940 So much going on on social media, which is another part of this story, social media.
00:01:38.800 the the news of of this uh venezuelan operation uh was put out there on x that's really where
00:01:49.580 99 of the people except maybe the venezuelans found out that this was even going on
00:01:56.220 within minutes there was a guy on x in venezuela walking down the street streaming
00:02:03.100 He was just streaming, because that's what he does, maybe a Venezuelan influencer.
00:02:10.180 And you see the lights around him go out.
00:02:14.220 You hear a big explosion and hear air raid sirens going off.
00:02:20.600 And at that point, what's the mainstream media?
00:02:24.700 You're going to switch to Fox News or CNN and get the scoop on what's happening?
00:02:31.380 Dinosaurs.
00:02:32.940 Mainstream media are dinosaurs in this day and age. 1.00
00:02:36.520 Thank God, too, because not only are they dinosaurs, they're lying pieces of crap. 0.99
00:02:43.200 You're not getting the story without their political spin on it. 0.99
00:02:49.320 And, you know, I like social media being there.
00:02:52.760 You absorb what happens and you use everything, your own resources, your knowledge, your experience,
00:03:00.680 cross-reference some other things that you can find and find out look up the people involved
00:03:07.780 like no one really i don't think any real layman who aren't politically uh active or or
00:03:15.160 uh do any kind of a political show even knew who maduro was i thought it was that mexican beer
00:03:26.420 No.
00:03:27.480 Maduro.
00:03:28.440 No one knew.
00:03:29.660 Venezuela.
00:03:30.720 A bunch of people.
00:03:31.660 I don't even know where it is on a map.
00:03:34.120 That's pretty much what's going on.
00:03:36.480 And then with X, you have the opportunity, if you want, to educate yourself.
00:03:43.120 Make your own decisions.
00:03:44.720 And the media hates that.
00:03:46.320 Oh, boy, do they hate when you make your own decisions and opinions about things that are going on.
00:03:53.500 so uh that's a big part of uh this story also but um the uh the hypocrisy the unbelievable 0.88
00:04:04.560 hypocrisy hakeem jeffries they're all spewing how this is illegal it's uh terrible it's it's
00:04:13.940 trump doing more of his dictator stuff how is removing a dictator being a dictator i guess 0.55
00:04:22.420 you could you could say uh that he wants to be he wants to also run venezuela he did say
00:04:30.580 that the u.s will be running venezuela in the interim while they get a leader in there who's
00:04:36.880 in there now delance uh delci delci rodriguez or as they say on the news delci rodriguez in
00:04:44.880 venezuela yes they they love putting on that accent when they do their newscasts so um 0.99
00:04:52.440 uh she's in there and uh trump uh gave her the hey you better you better watch your ass 0.97
00:05:02.300 trump's just out there telling these leaders now hey don't put it past me man do not put it past 0.65
00:05:10.220 me and i think this works out well for for the country uh whether this venezuelan mission that
00:05:19.200 was was done over the weekend uh how it hashes out in the future because a lot of politicians
00:05:29.160 are saying this is uh regime change and anytime we've done regime change it never works out well
00:05:39.340 We've done it before. 0.86
00:05:40.780 Look how Iraq turned out, Afghanistan. 0.97
00:05:43.800 We try these things.
00:05:46.380 And the one thing here that's different is Donald Trump.
00:05:54.680 Donald Trump isn't like any of these other presidents, for good or bad.
00:06:00.000 For good or bad.
00:06:01.420 He's not like any of these other presidents that have undertaken regime change over the course of the years.
00:06:08.400 His motivation is different.
00:06:14.020 If this is indeed an opportunity to get American hands on Venezuelan oil,
00:06:24.420 because that's always the thing.
00:06:25.440 Anytime we do anything in a country that has oil under their ground,
00:06:31.140 it couldn't possibly be for anything else but that oil.
00:06:35.500 And I don't know.
00:06:36.320 Who am I?
00:06:36.820 I'm not privy to the deep basement levels of the Pentagon or the CIA
00:06:43.660 or anything like that, so I don't know.
00:06:46.760 But it does seem that when these wars are undertaken for oil,
00:06:53.580 as they've said in the past, that the only people that really win
00:06:57.540 are the politicians and the higher-ups in that mysterious Illuminati
00:07:04.640 top of the pyramid.
00:07:06.820 because our fuel prices just keep going up during those past instances.
00:07:13.220 You know, the Iraq war.
00:07:15.440 Oh, they got oil.
00:07:16.640 If we go over there and take them over, we'll get oil.
00:07:20.540 And all of a sudden, our oil prices go down.
00:07:22.440 And then you realize, oh, no.
00:07:25.540 See, the cronies and the contractors and the politicians,
00:07:29.560 they're not going to pass the savings on to us.
00:07:32.700 they just want to make the money off the oil and keep charging us more per per gallon at the tank
00:07:40.600 and for our heating oil and everything else we use fuel for so those wars for oil
00:07:47.540 we never saw any of it I honestly think if we if we were to utilize Venezuela's oil
00:07:56.540 and it drove our energy costs down, I'm all for it.
00:08:02.500 I am all for it.
00:08:05.200 Why did we stop doing things like this?
00:08:09.280 Why did we stop things like conquering?
00:08:13.200 You know, maybe come up with a different term, you know,
00:08:17.060 like they do with abortion. 1.00
00:08:18.860 They call it health care, women's health care. 0.87
00:08:24.300 But it's like abortion. 0.78
00:08:25.200 But abortion, even the left knows it's an ugly term. 0.91
00:08:28.060 It's like, oh, women's health care.
00:08:29.300 Why can't conquering be something?
00:08:31.920 And not colonialism, imperialism.
00:08:35.220 That doesn't work either.
00:08:37.420 A good, fun name that everyone could get behind and like
00:08:41.080 that doesn't sound like you're conquering somebody, taking the spoils.
00:08:48.540 Look, we have people coming into this country every day from other nations
00:08:53.360 and reaping the spoils of the United States. 1.00
00:08:58.640 And we just sit around and take it.
00:09:01.580 Taxpayers dole out tax dollars.
00:09:03.520 If I'm paying tax dollars for a military,
00:09:07.300 why shouldn't I want them to be utilized for the benefit of this country?
00:09:13.360 I'm not talking about fighting foreign wars for Israel
00:09:17.220 or fighting it for Saudi Arabia, for their oil.
00:09:22.280 We have to do something that they want us to do.
00:09:25.600 I'm talking about our unbelievable, strong military going into a country and going, yeah, we need a little of that.
00:09:36.040 We're going to be skimming that like the old like the mob with the casinos.
00:09:40.860 What's the skim? 0.99
00:09:42.440 What's the skim?
00:09:43.800 Oh, there you go.
00:09:44.840 We're going to we're going to take a little of your oil.
00:09:47.160 Why?
00:09:48.060 Why do we have to be nice?
00:09:49.560 Why do we have to obey these world rules that we didn't make up?
00:09:56.380 We're always the evil one, the United States.
00:10:00.280 Always so evil. 0.62
00:10:03.380 I like this.
00:10:05.300 I got to be honest.
00:10:06.800 And this doesn't seem like a quagmire, or this doesn't seem like a boondoggle,
00:10:12.960 or some kind of a protracted war like Afghanistan, Iraq.
00:10:19.560 Whatever the hell we're doing in Syria, Libya, all those nonsense wars
00:10:27.400 where most Americans don't even know we have troops there.
00:10:32.060 This is one afternoon, one evening, in, out.

00:10:38.180 We go, yeah, we're going to be the boss for a little while.
00:10:41.740 And then we take some of their natural resources, the spoils.
