All right, folks, the President of the United States orders a Venezuelan drug cartel ship blown out of the water. Plus, Zarnamamani finally receives that magical Bill de Blasio endorsement that he has been desperately waiting for, and the UK is arresting people for bad tweets. First, as you know, this year we are celebrating a decade of the Daily Wire. Not by looking back, but by launching what's next. First up, Monday, for the first time in years, we are bringing in brand new DailyWire Talent with the premiere of The Isabel Brown Show. Then, next Wednesday night, the main event, Friendly Fire, all of us getting together to do what friends do. Argue, debate, maybe Michael will smoke some Mayflower cigars. I think that's very likely. Don't miss the premiere because inside Friendly Fire is where we're dropping the good stuff. New series, new projects, huge announcements, surprises we've been holding back until now. This is the start of our next decade and you don't want to miss a single moment. Join us now at Dailywire.com. Well, folks, President Trump announced yesterday that the United States carried out a strike in the Southern Caribbean against a drug-carrying vessel that departed from Venezuela.

0:56.2

He didn't offer a lot of details on all of this, but we know that the president has been very strong on the idea that Venezuela should not be exporting either illegal immigrants or drugs to American shores.

1:05.6

He does have authority under the Constitution of the United States to take immediate action on threats to national security

1:12.2

and enter international maritime law.

1:15.3

Drug boats that are essentially in international waters, not flying, say a Venezuelan government flag,

1:19.7

can in fact be confronted by American military forces and, if necessary, can be struck.

1:25.2

Apparently, it was a lethal event.

1:26.5

Here's what the president had to say.

1:28.4

When you come out and when you leave the room, you'll see that we just, over the last few minutes,

1:34.5

literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat.

1:41.4

And you'll be seeing that and you'll be reading about that. It just happened moments ago and our great general,

1:50.0

head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who has been so incredible,

1:54.0

including what took place in Iran, knocking out potential nuclear power for a long time to come. I think within a month

2:04.4

they would have had it. We didn't do what we did. But he gave us a little bit of a briefing,

2:10.9

and you'll see. And there's more where that came from. We have a lot of drugs pouring into

2:15.9

our country, coming in for a long time.

2:18.5

And we just, these came out of Venezuela and coming out very heavily from Venezuela.

2:23.5

A lot of things are coming out of Venezuela.

2:25.4

So we took it out and you'll get to see that after this meeting is over.

2:32.4

The president said the military had shot out the boat moments ago.

2:35.9

He said his team had been briefed on the strike by General Dan Raisin-Kane chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
