I hate these dumb, these ridiculous social media fights that media people just like to create.

Yeah. Because I get it. Look, it's it. That's their livelihood. They need and get, they, and Dan Crenshaw equals engagement. Yeah. Yeah. But I also have to defend myself. You know, so people ask, well, why do you even engage? Well, I'm like, well, because you're accusing me of a crime. You know, you accused me of conspiring to, to gather a bunch of SEAL Team 6 guys and come assault

you. So what he said was that I, that that text was that I would get them together and go,

quote unquote, whoop his ass. Never said that, right? And so I'm like, what are we doing here?

All right, Congressman Dan Crenshaw, this is my last interview today in D.C.

I've done, I think, about a dozen of them.

I've asked every question I can ask. So where do you want to start here? You want to do end of year? You want to do Venezuela. You want to do what? Have you wanted to do? You know, you told us we want to do Venezuela. I mean, it's an interesting topic right now. All right. Let's do Venezuela. Because you know a little something about the military. Yeah. And also like what, you know, justifying what we're doing in the Caribbean and in the Eastern Pacific. Actually, we just just came from a briefing. Secretary Hague said, Secretary Rubio, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs gave us. I thought it was pretty good. I think their explanations are good, and I think the intent is good.

So where do we begin?

I mean, look, we've changed the dynamic here.

The war on drugs, you know, making it a law enforcement operation, making it an interdiction operation,

it has never worked.

You have to target the networks.

And these networks, we've defined now as terrorist

networks. This is a lot of good reason for that. They act as terrorist networks, especially the cartels

in Mexico. And they really run everything. There's train deragua and Venezuela. There's the Maduro

regime itself, which has been indicted by our own courts, like him, plus a lot of his senior officials

at administration have been indicted on drug charges. So it's not like they're allowing this to happen.

They actively manage it. It's the only country that actually does that. Like, not all the

country's cooperative. It's sort of the purposeful driver of their existence in some sense. It is. I mean, and they, you know, and what else do they do? I mean, they're bringing in all of the, all of the adversaries that we wouldn't want in our hemisphere. The Russians really control Maduro. The Cubans control Maduro. The Chinese are pushing in. You know, there's hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens that live there working those oil fields, trying to, trying to uplift that regime. China does that very

specifically. Again, China's role is more of an economic warfare, as usual.

And so the president is absolutely right to take these kind of bold actions. And he's also

within his legal means. You know, once you're a designated terrorist, as we've seen plenty of times
