peace through strength, and drill, baby, drill.

So I just think that it's in the best interest of our own country to secure those oil assets, to secure that gold, to secure those minerals, and to try to find a way to bring Maduro to the table.

I think that

You know, look, I'm not going to whitewash Maduro's record, but this administration has decided to kind of pick and choose which dictators and which tyrants around the world they want to play footsie with.

And again, I'm a supporter of the president's, but you can't say that we're going to lift sanctions on Syria.

And we're going to talk about how amazing Jolani is when he's an ISIS head chopper for the sake of allowing the Syrian government to improve their economy with oil when he's currently leading and orchestrating the slaughter of Druze and religious minorities in Syria to the point where our own State Department yesterday had to issue an emergency declaration and commitment of humanitarian aid to the Druze.

OK, you can't do that at the same time and then say, oh, well, you know, Maduro is such a tyrant and Maduro is such a dictator.

Oh, you know, we have to keep sanctions on Venezuela.

If we're going to bring Syria to the table, what's the excuse for not bringing Maduro to the table if in the end it means American energy dominance?

That's my argument.

That's how I see it.

At the end of the day, I don't think that Maduro—I personally don't think that Maduro is worse than Jolani.

I think that if this administration, the State Department, is willing to play footsie with jihadist Muslims, they should be willing to make a deal with Maduro.

Yeah, and from what I've heard from my sources on the ground, they've told me that Maduro is open to that.

He's open to leaving within the next year.

Maduro has also said that he's willing to—he's already agreed to this, too, to hand over all of the detainees, all of the American detainees that were in Venezuela.

He peacefully allowed for those individuals to be handed over.

Rick Grinnell did a fabulous job.

with bringing back those Americans from Venezuela to our own country, Steve.

And additionally, he also agreed to all the repatriation flights.
