So we usually think of war, we think of those people taking up arms and they may kill our soldiers, so we kill them first.

That's war.

But these people, we haven't been told if they have arms.

Two of them they killed in the water, but two of them they scooped up.

And did they arrest them for drugs and get drugs that were floating around in the sea?

Did they look for arms?

No, they just released them and said, go back to your home country, which really wasn't Venezuela.

So I think this whole thing is a terrible situation, but we as a country should not be so easygoing as to say, well, an accusation is enough.

We sometimes make mistakes, even in our country, even when we're very, very careful.

The DNA Innocence Project found that where people in jail in our country with full due process, we made a mistake.

They've been in jail for 20 years.

Do we really think blowing up boats without any kind of process?

We got records from the Coast Guard yesterday that we released of boats stopped off of Venezuela before we had this new policy.

So we've had an interdiction policy for 100 years probably where we interdict people in the open seas and the Coast Guard does it.

The Coast Guard statistics say that of boats off Venezuela, 21% of those boats didn't have drugs.

And it's amazing to listen to some of the support for this.

It's like, 79% is pretty good.

It's like, really?

You'd kill 21% innocent people just because, well, the majority of them must be drug dealers, so we're fine.

No, that's not very thoughtful.
