Hey, first day back. What a day of the news. I talked to you a lot about Venezuela, the reasoning behind the raid of Maduro. I hear people say, no, it's about this. No, it's not. It's about this. It's actually about all of those things and so much more. Also, Trump's show of power. You know, this is not a regime change. This was the opportunity to give the citizens of Venezuela an honest vote. That's why he left somebody who not a fan of Donald Trump, not a fan really of America. America or capitalism in as the president. He did not regime change this. Is it going to work? I don't know. But what's it really about? What is he really trying to do?

Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now, let's get to work. You're listening to the Best of the Glenn Beck Program. Let me get back to Venezuela and where we are. The, the real, the hard truth on all of this is that we have to argue about the constitutionality of this. Bombing a foreign capital, capturing a head of state. I mean, that is an act of war, really, by most definitions, but here's the harder truth. And I'm not saying that makes it right. I'm saying this is why we have to have this conversation. Every modern president has crossed this line. This is not a Trump problem. This is a, this is a systemic failure and it has gone back decades. That doesn't make it right, but it makes it real. So what is this all about? I just told you. It's not about oil for us. But it is about oil. It's not about drugs. But it is about drugs. It's not about terror. Oh, yes, it is about terror. I mean, let me start with drugs. Drugs. The cartel of the suns. The suns. The reason why they call it the suns is on our lapels. When you have a general, you have stars. They have sons on their lapels. Okay, so you'll have a three son general. That cartel is one of the nastiest cartels in the world and it is run by the generals of the government of Venezuela. So is this about drugs? Yes, it is. Is it about terror? Yes. We've told you over and over again about the island. And Jason will get into this probably at the top of the hour, a little bit more on the insider feed, but we've talked about the island off the coast of, of Venezuela that is in bed with China, Russia and Iran. And Hezbollah actually comes and trains Venezuelans to be a part of this cartel and they use all of the tactics of Islamic terror. And then they, after their training on the island, they actually finish their training off by going to Iran. So is this about terror? Yes. Also farc. We have been fighting FARC in Colombia forever. We have soldiers on the ground in Colombia helping fight farc that is a Marxist communist. And then you have, on top of that, you have the terror of, of the Islamists also coming from Venezuela. So is it about drugs? Yes. Is it about terror? Yes. Is it about hemispheric control? Yes, it is. It absolutely is. If America can restore the rule of law, honest capitalism, national sovereignty and freedom here in America, we will set more people free than any other power that could possibly replace us. Okay? Trump believes this, and I do as well. Okay. But time's not on our side. You have financial systems that are cracking, empires that are falling. AI is accelerating everything. And the world has to choose. We have to. And whether people realize it or not, the last election made that choice. This is what America first looks like. Long term. Not isolation, not chaos. Strategy, strength and a true will to win. Let me tell you. You know, I have up on the chalkboard a Couple of things. Hemisphere control, you watch. If this goes the way I think it looks like it is going right now, Cuba may fall, Colombia may fall. Mexico may have to clean itself up. We may have a, we may have a completely different hemisphere because of what is happening right now. We may have Iran falling. Do you know what that means to the world if Iran, the leader in Islamic terror falls? That is a huge win. A huge win, but also a huge win for the US Military. We have been hearing that the military is weak, blah, blah, blah. And we saw, we've, we've seen what they've been doing with Raisin Cain, we've seen what they did to isis. We see how they can clean things up when we set our minds to it. Can we get Jason on real quick? Sarah, I think you have to move because I want to talk a little bit about, can he stay there? I want to get Jason, Jason, talk about, and we'll talk about a little bit more next hour but talk about the message this sent to China and Russia and the rest of the world on our military.
