Why did the U.S. only capture Maduro and not others?
This reporter here that Marco Rubio goes on, she's asking the question saying, how come you didn't get more people? Why did you only get Maduro? Why did you only do this? And just watch. This is why Rubio to me is slowly becoming the number one draft pick for 2028 election for president. I just want you to see this. Go ahead, Rob. Please play this clip.
I'm curious because you just described the regime as still in place, essentially. I mean, I'm curious why the Trump administration decided to leave it intact and only arrest Nicolas Maduro and his wife, the person who controls the police, the chief thug. $25 million. Diaz Cabello, he's the interior minister. He's been indicted by the United States. He was in that indictment the administration released. He's a narco-terrorist.
What makes Marco Rubio a strong candidate for the 2028 presidential election?
There's a $25 million price on his head. He's still in place. The defense minister, who has deep ties to Russia, $15 million price on his head. He is still in place. I'm confused. Are they still wanted by the United States? Why didn't you arrest them if you are taking out the narco-terrorist regime?
You're confused? I don't know why that's confusing to you.
They're still in power.
I mean, it's very simple. You're not going to go in and wrap up. But yeah, but you're going to go in and suck up five people. They're already complaining about this one operation. Imagine the howls we would have from everybody else if we actually had to go and stay there four days to capture four other people.
How was the operation to capture Maduro executed?
We got the top priority, the number one person on the list. was the guy who claimed to be the president of the country. Who wrote that question?
Who thought that was a good question?
He was also indicted. And that was a pretty sophisticated and, frankly, complicated operation. It was. It is not easy to land helicopters in the middle of the largest military base in the country. The guy lived on a military base. land within three minutes, kick down his door, grab him, put him in handcuffs, read him his rights, put him in a helicopter, and leave the country without losing any American or any American assets. That's not an easy mission. And you're asking me, why didn't we do that in five other places at the same time? I mean, that's absurd. I do think this is one of the most, you know, daring, complicated, sophisticated missions this country has carried out in a very long time. Tremendous credit to the U.S.
military personnel who did it. It was unbelievable and tremendous success. And today, an indicted drug trafficker who was not the legitimate president of Venezuela, who we don't recognize, the Biden administration didn't recognize, 60-something countries don't recognize, the European Union doesn't recognize, and many countries in Latin America don't recognize. He was a convicted, he was an indicted drug trafficker. He was arrested. His wife was arrested, also indicted. The others who were also indicted are still...
The others who were also indicted are still in place. So that's the point of my questioning there. But you talked about not being the legitimate president.
So you wanted us to land on five other military bases?
No, I'm asking why you chose that this was the limit of the military operation. The limit? But to your point that you just made, that Maduro was not the legitimate president.
He was the guy who was claiming to be the president.
What are the implications of Maduro's capture for U.S. foreign policy?
Right. Well, I'm curious.
Is this not... Does she think the U.S. military is Superman or Batman or Spider-Man? What planet are you living on that you can't just give praise to the U.S. military to Delta Force saying, wow, what an unbelievable operation? Why didn't you take out every single bad guy in the world? Because that's not how life works.
She got up in the morning, took a shower, slipped and fell, hit her head and woke up as Lindsey Graham. So it's like, why didn't you get more people? Why didn't you attack more things? To me, the irony here is you have a liberal media outlet in the mainstream media actually calling for more military intervention.
Weird.
No matter which way you put it, this is the best thing.
