That was Trump speaking to the House Republican retreats at the Kennedy Center, which is now known as the Trump Kennedy Center, although we're not going to call it that.
It's good to see he's treating regime change as like the sobriety and seriousness with which it deserves, huh?
Definitely, definitely, as always.
OK, so speaking of life or death.
So on Sunday, the Venezuelan government said that 80 people were killed in this Delta Force assault on Caracas and the associated airstrikes.
Additionally, Ben, the Cuban government came out pretty quickly and said that 32 of its citizens were killed in the attack, including basically like all intelligence and military personnel.
Did it surprise you that they they released that number?
Yeah, strange.
The Financial Times reported also that the colectivos, which are the regime's paramilitary groups, they've been arresting journalists and they've been cracking down on basically any civilians who take to the streets who are celebrating Maduro's removal.
So the human rights situation for those keeping score at home in Venezuela is getting worse, not better for actual human beings.
Ben, I've also been just stunned at how much
highly classified information the Trump administration has leaked to the media so quickly.
So that started with the administration telling literally every reporter that the CIA had an asset close to Maduro in Caracas who helped them find him.
But then there's also been reports about the US flying stealth drones over Venezuela.
Presumably those were CIA drones, which means they are very, very sensitive secret items or programs.
And then Trump has been bragging about how the US military
was able to disable the power grid in Caracas in advance of the strikes, which obviously, like, look, you can't keep it a secret when you take down a power grid.
But he was sort of hinting at, like, the way we did it, which was likely done with some highly classified, like, you know, sort of cyber capabilities that the military has.
So this is a little bit petty, but, you know, I remember when Republicans like Lindsey Graham, for example—
When would destroy us, you and me, you know, personally at times when anything classified would leak, including about like the bin Laden operation.
