U.S. Military Deployment: The U.S. Navy has increased its presence in the Southern Caribbean with 7–8 warships (including cruisers, amphibious assault ships, and a nuclear submarine), along with 4,000+ personnel and surveillance aircraft. The mission is presented as a crackdown on drug cartels.

Targeting Maduro: The U.S. government labels Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro a “narco-trafficker” and has raised the bounty for his capture to $50 million. His government is described as a “narco-state” producing large amounts of cocaine.
-
Maduro’s Response: Maduro has mobilized troops, armed citizens, and accused the U.S. of using anti-drug rhetoric as a cover for regime change and “gunboat diplomacy.” He warns of a “constitutional republic in arms” if attacked.

Public Reactions:
-
Some Venezuelans, especially opposition members, express cautious optimism and even “silent euphoria” at U.S. pressure, though fear retaliation at home.
-
Venezuelans abroad are more openly celebratory, praising Trump as a strong ally for democracy and regime change.

If they express their gratitude towards the United States government
on towards President Trump for the pressure he's outing against Maluro,
They're going to face horrible consequences. That's why you don't
really see a lot of expressions coming out of Venezuela.

cartels who've been designated as terrorist organizations in a way
we haven't seen in my lifetime. The United States has
(00:42):
significantly ramped up its military presence in the Southern Caribbean,
and now there are seven to eight warships, including a
nuclear powered submarine, on top of thousands of US military personnel.
So what is this all about. I'm going to explain
it to you. Wise Maduro terrified after we've up the
(01:04):
bounty on him as a narco terrorist. But first I

But if you want to make a difference and you
want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, well,

and it starts right now.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Story number one.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
President Donald Trump made it very clear when he was
running for president and backing it up now that if
you are in the drug trade, he considers you a
dangerous individual that is a member of a terrorist organization,
and he's not gonna allow Americans to die at the
hands of fetnel and other drugs that have been pouring
into this country. Now, lots of those drugs have been
(03:41):
stopped because we have secured the border, but the President
says that's not enough. And now we're seeing what is
next on the present's agenda. The United States has significantly
ramped up its military presence in the Southern Caribbean. We
are now learning this started in late August and now
into September, as the US Navy has deployed around seven
(04:05):
to eight warships, including very large cruisers, amphibious assault vessels,
and at least one nuclear powered submarine. That's not all.
More than four thousand US personnel, including about twenty two
hundred Marines, are now operating in the area. This build
(04:25):
up includes surveillance aircraft and even a US spy plane.
We're being told the stated objective is actually very clear
combat drug cartels, and the Trump administration has framed this
deployment as part of a broader campaign against Latin American
drug trafficking and criminal networks. Officials have labeled Venezuelan President
(04:48):
Maduro as a narco trafficker, boosting the reward for his
capture now to fifty million dollars, and designating his alleged
cartel of the SUNS a terrorist organization. Merdua's reaction has
been fierce. He's armed and mobilized and defiant President Maduro
(05:09):
taking strong countermeasures, deploying troops along the coast and Columbia border.
He's also called on citizens to join civilian militias and
warrened he would quote constitutionally declare republic in arms if
the US forces attack. Maduro and other Venezuelan officials are
now accusing the US of using anti drug rhetoric as
(05:32):
a pretext for regime change and gunboat diplomacy. Here's more
about the move from Fox News.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Well, the US is deploying destroyers and thousands of marines
towards Venezuela as President Trump looks to crack down on
curtels and the Maduda regime. They could reportedly reach the
country's coast as soon as tomorrow. Here to discuss is
dissident Project speaker and an immigrant from Venezuela Jorgue Galicia,
along with trigger U political commentator and Venezuelan political refugee
(06:03):
Franklin Carmargo. So great to have you both on. I'm
going to start with you, coote Kea. What is the
reaction to Venezuelan's I know you guys are in close
contact with people who are living there right now. Over
seventy eighty percent of the country voted for the opposition
party against Madudo. How are they feeling in this moment
(06:23):
knowing that these destroyers are coming so close to the
Venezuelan coast.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, first of all, Rachel, thank you for having me again.
I think how many people in Venezuela are extremely optimistic.
They cannot really be loud about it because they're facing
a terrible criminal regime.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I spoke to one of the opposition activists who was
holed up in that embassy for over a year before
she was rescued, and I asked her and she said,
it's a silent euphoria. And so while they're quietly celebrating
what President Trump is doing right now in Venezuelan for
(07:00):
the whole Western hemisphere. Franklin, meanwhile, Venezuelans who are living
abroad are putting out the most remarkable TikTok Instagram videos
I've ever seen. You're seeing the destroyers coming into the
ocean and the planes coming overhead and YMCA playing, and
just the euphoria from the dissident community who's abroad is
(07:22):
so palpable and thankful to the administration. Give us more
context to that.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yes, the Venezuelan people recognizes that the Truma administration is
probably one of the biggest allies that freedom fighters Venezuela
freedom fighters have had over the last twenty five years.
Is someone who has recognized that Maduro is not just
a threat to South America. It's not just a threat
to Venezuelans, but it's also a threat to the American people.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
And I think this is the most important thing to
mention right now.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
When we talk about Nicolas Maduru, when we talk about
the Venezuelan regime, we're not just talking about a government
that we dislike or a dictatorship, a soft dictatorship. We're
talking about narco state government that produced over twenty five
percent of.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
The entire cocaine that is produced in the entire world.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's also a regime that sent Trendagua, the same criminal
organization that killed for example, Lake in Riley, or that
killed Joseline Nongarai. So there is a need for the
American people, for the well being of the.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
American people in the Western hemisphere, to.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Have a regime changed to stop to stop these cartoons.
But Venezuela's recognized that Trump is an ally that the
US government is probably the biggest hope that.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
We currently have.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Now you hear the stats there, I mean, it's very
clear that not only is this in essence a failed state,
it's a state where the people rose up against Maduro
and he just coined the power. Anyway, and now we
know that he is nothing but a narco terrorist. It
is a terrorist organization that he's a part of, and
his money is coming directly from theine that he is
delivering to the world. Yet Venezuela's president is now accusing
(09:04):
the United States of seeking regime change in his country.
And the military deployment that has happened now it was
authorized by President Trump in a simple effort to disrupt
drug cartel activity. It's part of the White Houses they
described it his broader border policy. Maduro said the build
up is an intervention in his quote country's affairs, saying
this to the people, they are seeking regime change through
(09:28):
military threat, and that's where he also wants the rest
of the world to believe. Maduro added, quote, Venezuela is
confronting the biggest threat that has ever seen on our
continent in the last one hundred years, and saying a
situation like this has never been seen. Maduro said Venezuela
won't bow to threats and that it was super prepared.
(09:50):
Now the Trump administration is accused again Maduau of engaging
in drug trafficking, going so far as to announce that
fifty million dollar reward for information leading to his arrest
and his conviction. The fifty million dollars that is not
a little amount of money when it comes to how
much we're willing to pay as a nation. This is
one of the biggest rewards we've ever had. Take a
(10:12):
listen to this from Fox as well.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
People have wanted to do this for years.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
President Trump putting war back in the War on drugs,
designating eight drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
It allows us to now target what they're operating and
to use other elements of American power, intelligence agencies, the
Department of Defense, whatever to target these groups. If we
have an opportunity to do it. We have to start
treating them as armed terrorist organizations, not simply drug dealing organizations.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
That changes the battlefield. Cartel members become enemy combatants and
allow the use of military assets. The question is how
the Navy intercepting ships carrying narcotics special operations targeting cartel
leaders or drone strikes on drug labs in Mexico.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Mexico probably doesn't want that, but we have to do
what's right.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
Publicly, President Claudia Scheinbaum says Mexico will cooperate, but claims
the US plans no boots on the ground, nothing in it.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
It has nothing to do with Mexican territory.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
It has to do with their country.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
It does not involve our territory.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Yet, most cocaine goes through Mexico, and it produces most
of the FETE and all that killed more than two
hundred and sixty five thousand Americans during President Biden's term.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
These are armed organizations that have their own militaries.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I absolutely believe that we need to take action.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
It's what type of action are we going to take.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
But just because you don't hear about an operation doesn't
mean it didn't happen. Now, one of the name cartels
is the Venezuelan gang Trende a Agua. Last week, the
US slept a fifty million dollar bounty. I'm President Nicholas Maduro,
accusing him of using it to help traffic narcotics into
the US.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Let's just stop there for a second and also just
recognize something that was said there. Under the Biden administration,
more than a quarter million Americans died from fetnyl, an
overdose from fetnyl. You think about that number, and then
you think about these cartels. They've engaged in historic violence
and tear throughout our hemisphere and around the globe. They
have destabilized the economies and internal security of countries while
(12:17):
also flooding the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals,
and vicious gangs. That is what the Chief Pentagon spokesman,
Sean Parnell said during a news conference this week. He
also said this it requires a whole of government effort,
and through coordination with regional partners, the Department of Defense
will undoubtedly play an important role in meeting the Presence
(12:40):
objective to eliminate the ability of these cartels to threaten
the territory, safety, and the security of the United States
and its people. As a matter of security and policy,
we do not speculate on future operations now. What is
very clear is the Presence saying I'm not waiting around
for nations to act. I'm going to act now because
(13:03):
it's important that we protect and defend America's home win
and make sure that while he's present, another quarter million
Americans don't lose their lives to fetnal overdoses, and that
doesn't count all of those that are killed by cartel
members and the violent gangs that are in America as well.
