Thank you.
But it is the question that everybody's wondering, you know, how can you go in and break into someone's house, bomb a country and pull out their leader?
If that happened to the U.S., we would be up in arms.
But then you look at the celebrations of the people in Venezuela and that really kind of bolsters, you know, the Trump administration's decision to go in and having that type of morale is very interesting.
I do wonder if there are any other security insights that you could give us, whether it's the equipment that was used.
I know you gave some great insight on, you know, some of the helicopters.
I'm not well versed in weapons and things like that.
But yeah, if you had any other insights or anything that you found very interesting.
Wow.
I mean, the extraction took, as you said, about two hours, you know, 30 minutes just to get him out.
But this did take a lot of planning.
If you had to estimate how long this planning was and how many resources, how many people it took to pull something like this off, what would you say?
And we clearly have our answer here of how that went.
Well, thank you so much, Will.
Thank you for being here.
My pleasure.
Now that we've broken down how the operation unfolded, here's where Nicolas Maduro stands in the eyes of the law.
Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, were arraigned this week in federal court in Manhattan on a superseding indictment that includes narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, and weapons-related offenses tied to drug trafficking.
At their first hearing, both pleaded not guilty and remain in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Flores appeared with visible bruising, and her attorney said she may need medical evaluation.
