Hello, what's up? Of course you're in our kitchen. Do you even need to ask me why? No, because we're going to have a tasting menu of eight different kinds of food in the kitchen. I'm sure because you bought all these amazing kitchen tools for a really good price. They've been made for use.
Duncan Wisbey 0:17
But who's going to take care of the dishes? It's nice that you asked, because in fact... In fact, there are good tools for every business. The question was then about your or your friend's project.

The White House just held a devastating press conference admitting to war crimes off the coast of Venezuela, throwing its admirals and SEAL Team 6 under the bus to try to protect Pete Hegseth. Let me show you what went down. So Caroline Levitt, Trump's chief propagandist, was asked if the regime denies that the strike took place or simply denies that Hegseth gave the order. Watch what Caroline Levitt says. Here, play this clip.
Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Secretary Hegsath gave the order?
Caroline Leavitt 1:07
The latter is true. And I have a statement to read for you here. President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially designated narco terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance with the laws of war. With respect to the strikes in question on September 2nd, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated.
Ben Meiselas 1:41
So she's admitting that the war crime took place. She's just blaming the Admiral in charge, as well as SEAL Team Six for carrying out the order. Another reporter follows up and says, so are you saying that it was Admiral Bradley who was the only one who gave the order, not Hegseth and not Trump? Watch as they throw this admiral and seal team six under the bus again for the war crimes. Here, play this clip.
Caroline Leavitt 2:06
So that's why you've seen a drastic difference in this administration's policy with respect to the last. And it's one of the many reasons the American public reelected this president and support this secretary of war in conducting these strikes.
To clarify, Admiral Bradley was the one who gave that order for a second strike. And he was well within his authority to do so.

What happened at the White House press conference about the Venezuela strike?

And a separate question, the president several days ago said it was his intention.
Ben Meiselas 2:29
And another reporter asks again, so did Admiral Bradley order it? Was that what happened? That second strike that killed the survivors? By the way, my own view, this whole thing was unlawful. But did Admiral Bradley, he was the one who made the order for the second strike?
Caroline Leavitt 2:44
Here, play this clip.
Thank you, Caroline. So just to be clear, to clarify on Jackie and Gabe, did Admiral Bradley order that second strike because there were still survivors after the initial strike?
Caroline Leavitt 3:01
Again, as I read for you, Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority in the law. He directed the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat of narco terrorists to the United States was completely eliminated. The initial order from Secretary Hegseth, everyone be killed. And did that come from President Trump? I saw that quoted in a Washington Post story. I would reject that the Secretary of War ever said that. However, the president has made it quite clear that if narco terrorists, again, are trafficking illegal drugs towards the United States, he has the authority to kill them. And that's what this administration is doing.
Ben Meiselas 3:37
Then Caroline Levitt talks about Trump's MRI and she produces some fabricated report by an osteopath, by a DO, not actually the MRI report itself. One of these other like doctor notes, again, not from someone who can actually review and analyze the MRIs. And she says, she like reads this thing and she's like, well, it wasn't an MRI of the head. brain, it was an MRI of the abdomen, and it was part of general preventative care.
