We'll be right back with more Navy 250, Sea Power and Freedom. We want to thank our sponsor, AMAC, for standing with RAV.
Okay, there's a live shot right there. The commander-in-chief will be coming off Air Force One. He's landed in Norfolk. We're about to get rolling on all the activities. I think Ambassador... Monica Crowley, great friend of the show, will be giving an address, I think, on the Truman here momentarily, a couple of Navy SEALs. We'll also join her to give their real-life experiences. Let's bring in another Navy SEAL, our own Eric Prince. Eric, I asked, you had Lieutenant Jason Redman, one of the real heroes, of the Afghan war was on a moment ago, Navy SEAL. The question I asked him or had Steve Ruber ask, I want to ask you, we're going through naval history today, the operations war of 1812, the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, WWI, World War II, all of it.
The question I got to ask you is why Afghanistan's a long way from the water as is Iraq. Why were the Navy SEALs so prominent in the great war against terror in those two countries for so many years, sir? You know, the great thing about the SEAL teams, as our great president descends the stairway carefully, the great thing about the SEAL teams is they've always been adaptive. It started out of necessity when a bunch of Marines got killed in in Tarwa, in Baishio Atoll. And they started doing UDTs, underwater demolition teams. And then in Korea is when they really first started going ashore, blowing up bridges, blowing up key enemy objectives right off the beach. And then Vietnam really got them feet dry into the rice patties, into the Mekong Delta, becoming indispensable, true special operators.
And a great compliment to John F. Kennedy for creating an unconventional warfare capability between US Army Special Forces and US Navy SEAL teams to give the US that kind of unconventional capability to fight unusual problems. The SEAL teams have always since then maintained the ability to fight in snow, mountains, desert conditions to be adaptive. And, you know, the word SEAL comes from sea, air and land, meaning whatever means you've got to move through to get to your objective, they're going to figure out how to do it. And so it doesn't surprise me that they did so well. so far from the sea in a landlocked country like Afghanistan, because they're going to adapt to make it happen. Now, since then, they've really done a focus on returning to water, a lot more diving, a lot more submarine operations, a lot more maritime operations.
Back to that tradition of one foot on the inbound or the outbound is going to involve water. Eric, we have – and by the way, the president just got on the helicopter, so momentarily I think we're going to get things rolling. We're going to cut to the live broadcast of this. Like I said, the ambassador, Monica Crowley, I think is going to start things off with a talk at about 1220, 1230, pretty much on schedule as it rolls. Eric, we have an amphibious ready group. Off the coast of Venezuela now with 4,000 fleet marines and sailors and really in the amphib area, what would be equivalent of a Navy battle group or strike group around an aircraft carrier. Talk to us about that, the capabilities that has.
And I know you've been very involved in thinking through hemispheric defense, particularly the problems we have in Latin America. Is this really going to be against non-state actors? Do you think we're revving up to actually go in, take airports, ports, and railroad nodes in Venezuela, sir? Certainly, they think they've taken four shots at drug boats, which are obviously carrying fentanyl or other toxic chemicals on the way to poison America with. There's a lot more network to be taken out through Mexico and, of course, coming by sea. I think the Trump administration is trying to send a message to Maduro that it is time for him to leave. making him very wary, very, very aware that they can provide very deep strike precision bombing and,
into whatever bunker or cave complex he is hiding in, that it's time for him to leave.
