What recent actions has the U.S. taken against Venezuelan organized crime?
Sources just confirmed to CNN that the United States has seized an oil tanker that had been linked to Venezuela. Now Russia is responding to this seizure saying they are the owners. of this vessel. The Trump administration has not acknowledged the Russian status, claiming the ship to be stateless. But nevertheless, you can see the sensitive nature of the situation. Russia had sent ships to track and maybe even protect this vessel over the last 24 hours. The United States has been tracking it across the Atlantic. It's the same ship that the Coast Guard had tried to seize last month near Venezuela. They were unable to board it, and the ship changed course and fled. But now the breaking news, the United States has seized it.
How is Russia responding to the seizure of the oil tanker?
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega media.
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
It's Wednesday, 7 January, Year of Allure 2026. This next hour is going to be packed. We're going to fit it all in. I want to go back to Todd Wood. So it's called the escalatory ladder. Todd, you're very familiar with that. Pete Hegseth, our great secretary of war that oversaw once again, another precision military operation of incredible complexity. Now we are going to have a writer from the Daily Telegraph on at five o'clock. that's broken a story that has people's head exploding about meetings that took place in Qatar with the vice president down there in Venezuela. And she might've been kind of, how can I say this? Maybe on the Trump team beforehand, he's gonna walk through reporting he has that backs up that thesis.
He put the story out and it's blowing up. Todd, but Pete Hegseth who oversaw that, we had a quarantine and Rubio said, he says, look, The way we're going to do this is use our naval forces. We have, as President Trump says, a vast armada off the coast of Venezuela. We've had it there for a while. It's a carrier strike group. We've also got an amphib-ready group. I think there's 12,000 to 14,000 fleet marines and sailors off there. We're going to use that smartly with the quarantine to leverage their oil policy and other things. And yesterday we redirected $2 billion, I think 50 million barrels of oil to the United States of America and away from the Chinese Communist Party. Today, HEXA says it's a blockade.
And in naval terms, as you know, that's an escalatory. That's bigger than a quarantine. At the same time, on the high seas, Special operators, JSOC seized a, uh, essentially a Russian vessel. And as you said, uh, you believe that there are special operators on the vessel even before the helicopters came in, a retired air force general has gotten to one of the war room engine room guys and saying, Hey, Tell Bannon and Todd, I think there's more than oil. It's kind of riding heavy in the light and seas. I'm thinking it's dropping off more than oil in various places. He believes there's something else on that ship. So walk us through what happened. How was it taken? Is this America? Is this an act of war?
We go up the escalatory ladder.
What military strategies are being discussed for Venezuela?
Is this an act of war against Putin and Russia? Is President Trump putting it on notice? We're not going to play any games here, sir? Steve, well, the op has been practiced a lot. I mean, this is done in JSOC via exercise all the time. So well rehearsed, nothing new there. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary with them boarding the ship via helleborn assault. And as I said, likely they were on board or close to it well before those helicopters got there. As far as what's going on geopolitically,
