This is an iHeart podcast, guaranteed human. Welcome, it is Verdict with Ted Cruz, the Weekend Review, Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the big stories that you may have missed that we talked about. First up, what is next for Venezuela after Donald Trump went in to get one of the biggest narco-terrorists in the world? We'll have the answer to that for you in just a moment. Also, Democrats were actually in favor of getting Maduro and demanding it, even having money on the line for those that would turn him in. But now they hate Donald Trump because he got him. What's behind all that? And finally, the Minnesota government, including the governor now, says he wants to go to civil war with the federal government.
It's The Weekend Review, and it starts right now. What is next? And let me just I could look at my Twitter feed and I was on CNN last night and it was the topic of conversation.
What is the aftermath of U.S. military action in Venezuela?
And that is there are a lot of people that believe that America first policy that Donald Trump ran on was not invading countries and staying indefinitely like Iraq, Afghanistan. There is a lot of concern about. I heard it. You probably saw the clip of Lindsey Graham on Air Force One with the president saying, you know, this is a guy that loves to be in these forever wars. And there was people that were really concerned with that image of the tattoos in his ear. I don't want to get bogged down in Venezuela. I don't want our men and women to be there and loss of life to mount and grow because we decide to take over a country indefinitely. There's a lot of people that voted for Trump. They believe that's what he was never going to do.
And now they're like, well, hold on. We're here. We're going to take it over. There is a lot of concern. So let's dive into that and talk about what this looks like next in Venezuela. What is responsibility? What responsibility do we have to do it the right way, but also to not just sit there indefinitely? Well, listen, first of all, let me be clear. We are not at war with Venezuela. This is not a forever war. It's not even a war. This was a military operation to execute an arrest warrant. It was the military supporting the FBI and arresting indicted narco terrorists. And it took a couple of hours and was over. They went in, they got them and they left. That was the conclusion of the military conflict. It's not a war.
It's not, as I said, it's not a forever war. It was not even a five-hour war. It was about a two-hour war. And I wouldn't even call it a war. It was when you go and arrest someone. It was an arrest with the military supporting and protecting the law enforcement officers carrying out the arrest. um what happens next so so the day after maduro was was arrested uh delce rodriguez who was the vice president was sworn in as the interim president now listen no american should be happy with delce rodriguez as the president of venezuela for any extended period of time and i'm going to go into a little bit of background in terms of who she is and and then talk about what should happen next now delce rodriguez is a communist
She was the vice president. She hates America. Let me give you some of her background. She was the vice president. Before that, she was the oil minister. And she was, she is a lawyer too, like the first lady. And she's been in just about every post. She was also, she was foreign minister. She was president of the constituent assembly, vice president and oil minister. She was sworn in. As the interim president, you know who swore in? Who's that? Her brother, Jorge Rodriguez, who is the head of the National Assembly. So to understand, this is a corrupt, Marxist, communist, America-hating woman. And let me give you her background. She was born in Caracas. She is the daughter... of a Marxist guerrilla leader named Jorge Antonio Rodriguez.
And she is, rather, her dad was a co-founder of the Socialist League. Her dad was arrested in connection with the 1976 kidnapping of American businessman William F. Niehaus and died in police custody. And one source said the following,
