We just sent 11 warships down to the coast of Venezuela. That's almost 15,000 troops on board, okay? Those ships are in support of well over 100 aircraft on those things. We currently have 8 to 10 million pounds of munitions, bullets, bombs, rockets, you name it. We have a lot, okay? Oh, FYI, this is just one of our 11 carrier battle groups should we need it. This is also me on board the USS Gerald R. Ford before it went to Venezuela with Secretary of the Navy John Phelan, which we were talking about them training for this exact type of mission profile, and this was a couple months ago. This is now floating off the coast of Venezuela, much of which is on board of that, a quarter mile long ship powered by not one, but two nuclear reactors capable of speeds that would be pretty uncomfortable on a jet ski. Again, the ability to eliminate the entire country of Venezuela is not a question here. I think Maduro knows this, which is why Trump unilaterally declared Venezuelan airspace no fly zone. The destroyers have enough tomahawk missiles to render pretty much every airfield in the country unusable within a few minutes if we want to, and our own air assets can arm fuel and launch or relaunch or land a plane every minute to back that up. So again, not a matter of whether we can, it's a matter of whether or not we should and what avenue we take and to what end result. So end of the situation room with me. See in the military, we have this thing called a warning order. That's the overall brief would be given in a room like this to whatever the objective is. And here's what's going on behind those closed doors. Striking these drug boats is not the end result. Striking these drug boats is twofold. One, to stop drugs from coming into the country from a declared terrorist entity, which makes it legal now because the cartels have been declared terrorists. He loves the Constitution. He fights for what's right. He hates the bad guys. He's a freedom warrior. He's your freedom warrior. Watch Carl Higbee every weekday on Newsmax.
