Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is all around Venezuela. Right, is this is this?
What this is all around?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah, you're talking about the orders that the president is
giving to blow up.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
So let's let's go to that. Let's let's go and
talk about that. So new details emerge about the controversial
September second strike on alleged drug boat that killed survivors.
This is ABC News, Rob, I think you got a
clip on this here if you want to play the clip.
Is this the one route? Okay, go for.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
It and tonight new information. According to a source familiar
with the incident, the two survivors climbed back onto the
boat after the initial strike. They were believed to be
potentially in communication with others and salvaging some of the drugs.
Because of that, it was determined they were still in
the fight and valid targets. A JAG officer was also

(00:49):
giving legal advice. So again, David, that video will be
key and Admiral Bradley.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Will be on the hill.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Okay. So is this is this the back and forth
on he set ordering a lethal attack but not the
killing of the survivors. These two stories are kind of
going on and on, right, Rob, do you have that
one as well.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, so this is that was ABC News.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
Now CNN reports that the admiral has said that the people,
the two remaining survivors of the September second boat strike,
they were not actually trying to radio tour to other
drug smugglers. This is CNN reporting this late last yeah with.

Speaker 6 (01:25):
What yeah breaking news, we have new exclusive reporting on
the double strike on the alleged drug boat in September.
Admiral Frank Commitch Bradley, whoever saw in the operation, told
lawmakers today that the two survivors did not. Some defense
officials have been claiming for months behind scenes radio for
backup before a second strike kill them. That's according to
two sources with direct knowledge of today's closed door briefings.

(01:45):
Now joining me is Senator Tammy Duckworth, a member of
the Armed Services Committee and a retired US Army pilot. So,
center does this change the calculus when determined whether a
secondary strike would be necessary, the idea that there was
not a radio call.

Speaker 7 (02:00):
It doesn't, really, Anderson. It tells you that the Defense
Department has been lying to everybody since September, But it
doesn't change the calculus because, as I you know, if
you were if these were pilots. If this was war
and this was a pilot who'd been shot down, you're
sitting in a rubber dinghi in the middle of the ocean,
and they radio for help, you're supposed to pick them up.
You're supposed to help them, or even if they're even

(02:21):
if their forces picked them up. You can't just go
in and kill those peopless just because you think that
they might conduct future operations against you. It just violates
all sorts of international laws of warfare, and it's illegal
on so many levels.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
But it does right. Okay, Vinnie, what do you have
to say about Okay, Well, well, first and foremost, just
to make it clear, these aren't fishermen coming here to
get tuna and all that nonsense.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Okay, these are people coming here.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Patrick fentanyl And some guy yesterday on CNN with US
was like, it's cocaine. It's cocaine, it's fentanyl. It's drugs
that are killing hundreds of thousands Americans. Put that in
your in your in your minds out there, and this
is what they're fighting for.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
This, this is it.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
And those two guys are hanging on the water, they're
calling for help or or their boys are gonna come
get them. Who do you think is gonna come get them?
Other drug dealers that are gonna grab the drugs.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
To what's the issue though?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
They're trying to say, Pat, that Pete Hegseth is ording
a second strike.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
As you know as as a soldier, as.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
A veteran, and I've watched these videos, pet because that's
all I would do when I was in the military.
When you strike and you see those like AC one
ten warhogs, blah blah blah blah blah blah, and you
hit them and they're wounded and they're staying there, you
hear hit them again. You gotta get rid of the
freaking threat because if you keep them alive, they get
another boat and they keep bringing the drugs to the country.
I can I approve to this one thousand percent. He

(03:43):
has a mandate, pad this is the Department of War. Okay,
enough is enough. We can't let anybody hear And if
you think about it, every mandate that Trump has, every
mandate the border. They want to open the boarder's best
they can deporting people. They have a problem with that.
The terrorists that we're gonna get to eighty three billion
dollars a month. They want to stop that he's killing
people that are coming here that are going to eventually

(04:05):
with their poison kill Americans. And this is just something
pat that the media and the left, this is the tactic.
They have to do something, and it's not gonna work
because it's not illegal. It's not illegal. Ask the hundreds
of thousands of mothers and fathers who've had to bury
their kids.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Two of my friends, Rico and Foo from California.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, there are the party and they did a little
bit of drugs and they both died too. Of my
friends because they're this cocaine had fetanol in it. They
didn't overdose, they were poison So enough of this nonsense.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Enough.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
This is just another talking point that she had to
come out and admit. And now anything pat every day
it's something different. Where they were floating, where they weren't waving.
I don't give a shit. If you're coming here to
kill Americans, you're gonna die. Get if they those Venezuelans,
get an email, look look at the internet. Get X
and know that we will bomb your ass if you
come here.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Just serio, play this clip first, Go ahead, Rob, So
this is what this is hex said, saying that he
did watch a nine two boat strike, but says he
did and stay around for the entirely and then says
it was Adam Admiral Bradley that made the call right
to sink the boats Yep, okay, go ahead, and.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Watched that first strike.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Life. As you can imagine, at the Department of War,
we got a lot of things to do, so I
didn't stick around for the hour and two hours whatever
where all the sensitive side exploitation digitally occurs.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
So I moved on to my next meeting.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
A couple of hours later, I learned that that commander
had made the which he had the complete.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Authority to do bingo.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
And by the way, Admiral Bradley made the correct decision
bingo to ultimately sink the boat and eliminate the threat.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
He sunked the boat, sunk the boat and eliminated the threat, and.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
He was the right call.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
We have his back and the American people are safer
because narco terrorists.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
No, you can't bring drugs.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Through the water and eventually on land if necessary, I
have to do to the American people. We will eliminate
that threat, and we're proud to do it so.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Plain and simple, plain and simple.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I got up. I have other stuff to do. My
admiral chain of command said.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Blowed up. Kill them. That's it. That the message should
be out there. Okay.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
And this whole Venezuela case didn't Maria Machado, didn't she
technically win the election?

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Patrick?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
That guy's not even supposed to be in there, and
he's running for his life, like you said in the beginning,
sleeping in different beds. Enough is enough? Any American that
is going to be threatened by your drugs, We're going
to kill you. What the hell does Anderson Cooper know
about war? What briefing rooms? Is Anderson Cooper or anybody
at ABC? I have a source that's a Trump hating
congresswoman go in front of the camera and talk shit

(06:34):
about the president.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Enough already enough, he has a mandate. That's what I
voted for.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
A path. What is this? What is this? Do they
have the clip about Madudo sleeping in different beds and
you know, changing phones just to big show because he's
worried for his life.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
I do I think it's is this a clip or
but I believe it's in.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
What are they saying.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Spanish Okay, see if you can have that and translated, Tom,
tell us your thoughts about the story here.

Speaker 8 (07:04):
So Maduro, if he's truly sleeping in different beds, it
means he is convinced. I've found three stories together to
be very very funny. Mrdua said I had a peaceful
and productive I think those were the translated Spanish words,
a peaceful and productive phone call with President Trump. And
then we hear he's slipping in different beds and he's
using different phones.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Okay, this sounds like a guy who's.

Speaker 8 (07:26):
A little worried about sophisticated triangulation through electronic devices and
is now sleeping in different places. Because if you take
a look at look at the Israeli actions in Beirut,
they knew what room and what apartments that guys were in,
and they hit that room in that apartment. You don't

(07:47):
think Mdurea knows what kind of technology is available to
the entire West and especially the US. Of course he does, so,
pat This is a nervous guy who is saying the
right things to the camera about a phone call with Trump,
but is scared to death. But he's putting up a
brave you know, big dictator a face in public, but
behind closed doors, he is worried that his day could
come tonight or tomorrow night. So he's moving around trying

(08:11):
to avoid getting hit. By the way, the last bit
of the movie of on pablo'shume, the documentary in Pablo Escobar,
Pablo Escobar was doing the same thing. He was moving around,
he was active, and finally he got found one morning.
They identified him and he tried to escape one safe
house to another, and they shot him on the ref

(08:32):
of the house. So you don't think Maduro's thinking that
that's what Maduro's thinking about, Adam.

Speaker 9 (08:38):
I just want to know if there was a different
alternative to what's going on. So obviously we're fully supportive
of drugs not pouring into our country, criminals just running around.
I'm just simply wondering other better approaches to just blowing
up drug boats. Why aren't you know, maritime navy police
officers rolling up and hijacking this, Like, what is there
a better alternative. I'm not questioning the motive fully support

(09:01):
not having these people in our country or provide drugs.
I'm just simply asking a question, is there a better
approach just to just blowing them up out of the
water where they are.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
At them to send to send stuff out there, and
it's a it's a huge military operation. Here's the thing,
here's the determ Adam, are ready for this. They've been
warned don't bring your drugs to our shores periods international water.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
And they're speeding. Well what fishermen's driving one hundred miles
an hour? Like what do we what are we lying?
This is the Adam.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
They're not playing games. They're not gonna stop. Pull them over,
bring them here. Enough of it because they're sending them
all the time.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Every day.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
There's another boat every single day because Adam, that's their money,
that's their bread.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
It's maduro, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
All the freaking all the nastiness that this guy's done
in his freaking life, all the cartels.

Speaker 9 (09:47):
Out of the water, and they continue to send them.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
They keep sending them every day.

Speaker 9 (09:50):
People not here, Hey buddy, what happened at them?

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Hector and one?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Are you ready for this? Look at this video. They
don't even have HD They still don't have age. Bro,
You think they're sitting there? Are they not following the
internet like eld Venezuelans. If you have you know, people
tell them to stop, okay, and you're gonna get blown
up period at them. An end of story, there is no.

Speaker 9 (10:11):
So are you saying that that the guys who take
the next mission and the third mission of the no, no,
they made it.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
It's okay, let's go and it was easy. Yeah, those
dogs and.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Then they just bowm I think I think that they
they know, but they're like, hey, you know what the
cartels are saying, get your ass and go.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Get your ass and go because you might make their mules.

Speaker 9 (10:32):
And they're saying, listen, you're gonna die one way or another.
Ear they're gonna stay in the country.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
We're gonna kill you. Don't do this, or you're gonna
go figure it out? How about how about this? Don't
even man them have a remote control boat? Well, I
don't know what. Don't give them ideas, but don't do
something different, you moron.
