The Daily · Trump 2.0: A Year of Unconstrained Power · 20 Jan 2026 podcast

And therefore, it is lawful for me to direct the U.S.

military to kill them summarily.

That's an extraordinary thing.

No one thinks that outside of the government that there is actually an armed conflict, but who's going to challenge him inside the government?

Clearly, the military is not, especially because their JAG Corps has been gutted by Secretary of Defense Pete Hicks.

whose purpose is to provide legal advice to military commanders about obeying the law.

And the law says militaries are not allowed to target civilians, even if they are suspected of crimes, if they pose no imminent threat.

That is murder in peacetime.

That is a war crime in an armed conflict.

Nevertheless, the military is doing what Trump is telling them to do.

And now, with the raid into Venezuela, using ground troops on the sovereign soil of another country,

in a place where they killed 80 people and effectuated regime change.

And he says he can do that too.

In this case, under the guise of being a law enforcement operation.

So they can combat drug smugglers by saying that's not a law enforcement investigation, that's war.

And then they can send troops in to the foreign territory of another country without congressional authorization by saying that's not war, that is just a law enforcement operation.

It's just an extraordinary set of events.

It is a demonstration of the theme we were talking about in the first half of this of you can just do stuff.

And especially if you've hired the right lawyers who are not going to raise objections, but are going to find ways to produce a piece of paper with some words on it that says, yes, you can do what you want to do.

Who's going to stop you?
