“Why Only Maduro?” - Marco Rubio HUMILIATES Reporter Over Trump’s Venezuela Night Raid

06 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: Why did the U.S. only capture Maduro and not others?

0.031 - 26.443 Unknown

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.

0

26.879 - 49.478 Marco Rubio

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.

0

49.538 - 53.882 Marco Rubio

He was in that indictment the administration released. He's a narco-terrorist.

0

Chapter 2: What makes Marco Rubio a strong candidate for the 2028 presidential election?

53.903 - 73.905 Marco Rubio

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?

0

74.465 - 77.637 Unknown

You're confused? I don't know why that's confusing to you.

0

77.657 - 78.298 Marco Rubio

They're still in power.

0

78.318 - 93.523 Unknown

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.

0

Chapter 3: How was the operation to capture Maduro executed?

93.543 - 101.018 Unknown

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?

0

101.058 - 102.362 Marco Rubio

Who thought that was a good question?

0

102.382 - 113.991 Unknown

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.

0

113.971 - 129.169 Unknown

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.

0

130.51 - 144.828 Unknown

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.

144.968 - 165.635 Unknown

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.

165.715 - 168.278 Unknown

The others who were also indicted are still...

168.258 - 176.827 Marco Rubio

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.

176.847 - 178.889 Unknown

So you wanted us to land on five other military bases?

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Maduro's capture for U.S. foreign policy?

190.461 - 193.044 Marco Rubio

Right. Well, I'm curious.

0

194.445 - 212.052 Adam Sosnick

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.

0

212.032 - 232.303 Unknown

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.

0

232.743 - 233.124 Patrick Bet-David

Weird.

0

233.404 - 243.84 Adam Sosnick

No matter which way you put it, this is the best thing. The hypocrisy that is seeping from the left right now. Okay, so we're going to object to anything that Trump does. Okay, so now you're defending Maduro?

244.02 - 244.241 Patrick Bet-David

Yeah.

244.521 - 259.342 Adam Sosnick

Now you want more escalation? You're criticizing what he did in Iran? So now you want the Ayatollah power? This is the hypocrisy that's happening there. Trump can cancel your income taxes and leftists will be like, I want to pay taxes.

259.362 - 268.014 Patrick Bet-David

They're going to complain. It's so stupid. And we'll talk about hypocrisy. Bush and Obama spent $3 trillion. I'm going to say that again. $3 trillion on the wars.

Chapter 5: Why is there media hypocrisy regarding military interventions?

268.034 - 293.588 Patrick Bet-David

100,000 troops to Afghanistan. We lost almost 2,500 United States military soldiers fighting the damn Taliban. And the whole time, Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan. Okay, wrap your head. And congressional approval? How many strikes happened under Biden with no congressional approval? Do you guys know? Ready for this? 165 strikes. 85 in Iraq and Syria. 10 in Syria and Iraq combined. 70 in Yemen.

0

293.708 - 295.05 Unknown

Don't forget Yemen.

0

295.17 - 320.837 Patrick Bet-David

The same with Obama. Obama killed Osama bin Laden. Zero congressional approval. And George W. Bush got congressional approval and invaded Iraq. Retard it. Obama invited Libya, killed Gaddafi, no approval. In 2016, Rob, do you have that chart? How many bombs did this guy drop? Mr. Black Jesus, how many? 26,171 bombs in one year. So when I say, I love that you came up with that.

0

320.857 - 332.387 Patrick Bet-David

Signal versus noise. Nobody's hearing your noise on the left. Nobody cares. Who the hell gives a damn what Harry Sisson thinks about this whole geopolitical stage? Nobody gives a damn, all right? And Pat, I have a chart.

0

Chapter 6: How do China's, Russia's, and Iran's interests intersect with Venezuela?

332.367 - 336.495 Unknown

And Obama killed a U.S. citizen abroad and knew that he was going to do it.

0

336.735 - 346.593 Patrick Bet-David

Yeah, oh, 1,000%. Pat, did you see the chart about Poland and Venezuela? Go to that chart, Robbie. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.

0

346.954 - 348.677 Unknown

Oh, is this the change in fortunes?

0

348.697 - 363.985 Patrick Bet-David

Yeah, look at this chart, Pat. Did you see this? Zoom in, Robbie. Venezuela. Per capita, countries' gross domestic product divided by population. Look at that. And go back up. Once they become socialist, look what happened. Once Poland said, no, we're not going to do it, look at what happened. Isn't that weird?

0

364.005 - 366.85 Unknown

Poland versus Venezuela. Who would have ever thought this was going to happen?

366.871 - 384.59 Patrick Bet-David

Who would have thunk? But I have a different angle. I want to see what you guys think about this. Immediately when the bombing happened, immediately on the 3rd, right after, Trump started posting stuff on Truth Social about the 2020 election and Dominion. And one of them was, Robbie, I think it was one of these. Pat, look at this.

384.931 - 406.23 Patrick Bet-David

This was a Venezuelan military intelligence whistleblower confirmed the CIA outsourced election rigging technology like Smartmatic and Dominion from Venezuela. So maybe, just maybe... All right. Trump and Maduro. This is just allegedly maybe whatever. They made a deal. Maduro says, OK, I'll let you guys capture me. Come and do the whole thing in return.

406.59 - 423.965 Patrick Bet-David

I'm going to drop dime on every single one of the voting cheating thing that happened in 2020. OK. And if you remember, Pat, Lou Dobbs in 2006 had a whole thing. I'm not going to have Rob play it about cheating at him and all that stuff. And then Sidney Powell. Robbie, can you play the one on Sidney Powell? She's been talking about this for years.

Chapter 7: What does the Monroe Doctrine mean for U.S. actions in Venezuela?

424.345 - 426.567 Patrick Bet-David

She got in trouble and everything. Listen, what she talks about.

0

427.323 - 446.361 Sidney Powell

I can hardly wait to put forth all the evidence we have collected on Dominion, starting with the fact it was created to produce altered voting results in Venezuela for Hugo Chavez and then shipped internationally to manipulate votes for purchase

0

446.341 - 461.717 Sidney Powell

in other countries including this one it was funded by money from venezuela and cuba and and china has a role in it also we have staggering statistical evidence we have staggering testimony from witnesses including one who was personally in the briefing

0

461.697 - 476.933 Patrick Bet-David

You never know what's going to come out of it. Trump, every time I think I know what he's doing, there's always something underneath it that he's doing. By the way, and people want to talk about affordability. Is this oil that we're going to get? Is that going to help the affordability in the United States? Are we going to get lower gas?

0

477.214 - 498.939 Unknown

You know what I love about? There's another clip about Rubio, Western Hemisphere, which I think was brilliant that both he and Trump said. They said, wait a minute. What are you talking about? So the oil that China and Russia and Iran are coming to take, this is on the West. That's the one right there, Rob. This is on the Western Hemisphere. No, you're not going to come and take it.

498.979 - 521.257 Unknown

This is on this side. Go ahead and play that clip, Rob. This was brilliant. If the purpose of the operation was to capture Maduro and bring him to justice, why does the United States need to take over the Venezuelan oil industry? Well, we don't need to. First of all, let me go back up. We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil in the United States.

521.277 - 536.567 Unknown

What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States. You have to understand, why does China need their oil? Why does Russia need their oil? Why does Iran need their oil? They're not even in this continent. This is the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live.

536.848 - 553.534 Unknown

And we're not going to allow the Western Hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the United States. Have specific oil companies? We also want to see that oil and the proceeds from it. Hold on. We want to see the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela. Why have 8 million people left Venezuela?

553.614 - 569.538 Unknown

8 million, the single largest mass migration, probably in modern history, left Venezuela since 2014 because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela. You know how destabilizing 8 million migrants is?

Chapter 8: How could the Venezuelan oil situation affect U.S. economy and policy?

599.079 - 620.574 Adam Sosnick

Do you understand what hegemony means? Hegemony means you run the world. So what do you think that Russia, Iran, and China are doing in Venezuela? Do you think they're looking for arepas and big booty Latinas? No. They're interested in the oil that comes from Venezuela, which has the largest reserve oil in the world. So we need to start acting like grownups here.

0

621.255 - 641.615 Adam Sosnick

China wants to take over the world. Do you want to live in a world that China runs the world or in a world that the United States runs the world? That's what this all comes down to. Do you want U.S. running the world or China running the world? Look at who's praising the actions with Maduro. Look who's looking out for the people of Maduro. Iran made a statement. Russia made a statement.

0

642.015 - 647.543 Adam Sosnick

China made a statement. Cuba made a statement. These are all enemies of the United States.

0

647.663 - 653.331 Unknown

Yeah, but there's another thing that's brewing here behind closed doors, which is very weird.

0

653.351 - 674.243 Adam Sosnick

The Monroe Doctrine, which they talked about, if I could just say this, Monroe Doctrine says, James Monroe said, basically, US runs the Western Hemisphere. Now, he said that before we had nuclear weapons. I'm not old enough to remember this. Tom, you might remember this. There was something called the Cuba Missile Crisis in 1960-something, whatever. Okay, so when JFK was president.

674.784 - 699.808 Adam Sosnick

So why were we so against Cuba having missiles? Because they're 90 miles off the coast of Miami. Why do we want these foreign adversaries, enemies you may call them, having access to a country on our hemisphere where they can set up camp and attack the United States? To me, this is sending a message. We're not playing around. This is grown-up stuff. You might not like Trump interfering.

700.149 - 701.832 Adam Sosnick

He gets in, he gets out.

701.812 - 730.367 Adam Sosnick

takes out maduro he removes uh the nuclear capabilities of iran he gets in and out solomony in and out he's not starting foreign wars the whole argument that trump's starting foreign wars what foreign war you're making them he's in he's out he's precision yeah but this is again yes i i saw the whole thing with iran with china with you know who's responding to oh my god what's going on who's criticizing it i've been getting a lot of my next about people talking about

730.347 - 753.96 Unknown
