| 0:00.0 | This is the Daily Blast from the New Republic, produced and presented by the DSR Network. |
| 0:16.4 | I'm your host, Greg Sargent. |
| 0:39.6 | After American forces captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and brought him to the United States to stand trial here, almost no Republicans spoke out in dissent. Notably, however, |
| 0:46.0 | Representative Marjorie Taylor Green did speak out. In a series of remarkable tweets, she accused Trump of breaking his promise to avoid military adventurism abroad. Now, the idea that Trump and Maga are |
| 0:52.6 | anti-interventionist or anti-war, as we're constantly |
| 0:55.8 | told, has long been obvious bullshit, but now we have a MAGA leader stating this very plainly. |
| 1:02.2 | Strikingly, Green said straight out that this is a bid to take Venezuela's oil. |
| 1:08.3 | Norm Isson, the publisher of the contrarian, has been saying we need to look at Trump's |

| 1:59.2 | and it violates international law. |
| 2:01.5 | Norm, how bad is this? |
| 2:03.3 | Greg, we haven't seen anything like this in modern American history. |
| 2:09.7 | It violates the Constitution. |
| 2:13.4 | It is an invitation to the Putin's and Gis of the world to do the same thing in their backyards. |
| 2:26.7 | It puts our service members potentially at risk. |
