Crowd Goes Silent When Marco Rubio & Pete Hegseth Take Turns Shutting Down Reporters

Conducting activity. That's what the Navy does. Get in there, Pete. I want to emphasize that. Yeah. Question from CNN. Clinton Jaws, do me a favor. Please like this video. It's the only thing I care about. I don't want your money, just your likes. Leave a comment in this section. I never do this. I never put the heat on in the motor home

piece. It makes too much noise. Can you hear it blowing right now? It's snowing out. I need it on. When Marco Rubio and Pete Hexeth get together and they speak to the media? Well, it's priceless, and I have to show it to you. I also made this decision. What did you guys do last night? Last night I watched Jen Pasaki interview. Michael Jackson?

What the hell is her name? Nancy Pelosi. It was so bad. I tried to do a video. It was so bad I realized I can't hear it. It was so bad that I'm going to play a small clip for you at the very end of this video. So stick around. This happened one hour ago.

Skippity-Doo. He says a couple of words here. The Marco comes in with a somewhat of a joke. Public discussion was required. They're avoiding all public discussion. To talk to us in the skiff where we didn't get adequate answers even to our questions, but not let the American people know what they're doing. When it's the American people who have always paid the price

when we try to do this regime change in blood and treasure. We need answers. We need answers to these questions, and we need them made publicly. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, let's hold them, please. Where is this end? I'm against everything he said.

So. Why do you sign this behind those words? Well, there's a lot of operational details that can't be discussed publicly, obviously, for obvious reasons. So as we move forward, we'll describe our process, which is a three-fold process in Venezuela. I've described it to them now. Step one is the stabilization of the country. We don't want it descending into chaos. Part of that stabilization, and the reason why we understand and believe that we have the strongest leverage possible is our quarantine.

As you've seen today, too much. today two more ships were seized. We are in the midst right now and in fact about to execute on a deal to take all the oil. They have oil that is stuck in Venezuela. They can't move it because of our quarantine and because it's sanctioned. We are going to take between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil. We're going to sell it in the marketplace, at market rates, not at the discounts Venezuela was getting. That money will then be handled in such a way that we will control how it is dispersed in a way that benefits to Venezuela. Canada is so screwed. The U.S. just won the lottery. oil.

The Venezuelan people, not corruption, not the regime. So we have a lot of leverage to move on the stabilization front. The second phase will be a phase that we call recovery, and that is ensuring that American, Western and other companies have access to the Venezuela market a way that's fair. Also at the same time, begin to create the process of reconciliation nationally within Venezuela so that the opposition forces can be amnestied and released and from prisons or brought back to the country and begin to rebuild civil society. And then the third phase, of course, will be one of the first.

transition. Some of this will overlap. I've described this to them in great detail. We'll have more detail in the days to follow. But we feel like we're moving forward here in a very positive way. Secretary, some senators who are in that briefing describing your operation variously as that you're winging it. There's no planning. Winging it. Yeah, they're going to say. I used to be a senator too. That's what you always say when it's the other party. The bottom line is we've gone into great detail with them about the planning. We've described to them. In fact, it's not just It's not just saying or speculating it's going to happen.

It's already happening. Like the oil arrangement that we've made with Peda Vesa on their sanctioned oil, that they can't move. Understand they are not generating any revenue from their oil right now. They can't move it unless we allow it to move because we have sanctions, because we're enforcing those sanctions. This is tremendous leverage. We are exercising it in a positive way.

The president described it last night. Secretary will write, we'll have more to say on it today, who is involved in running this portfolio. And we feel very positive that not only will that generate revenue that will be used to the benefit of the Venezuelan people, and we're insured that that's what the case is. But it also gives us an amount of leverage and influence and control over how this process moves. She's got to love what they're doing. On Denmark, on Denmark, sir. Mr. Secretary, on Denmark, why is the administration not taking

Denmark's offer to discuss the situation in Greenland? And I'll be meeting with them next week. But will you take military intervention off the table? I'm not here to talk about Denmark or military intervention. I'll be meeting with them next week. We'll have those conversations with them then and uh but i'm not having anything further to add to that today let them think they're going to what what what what what greenland can you clarify your comments to lawmakers this week well that's always been the president's intent from the very beginning he said it very early on i mean this is not new he talked about it in his first term and he's not the first u.s president that is examined or looked at how could we acquire uh greenland there's an interest there but so i

just reminded them of the fact that not only the Truman want to do it but president trump's been talking about this since his first term The White House put on a statement last night saying that the military option is on the table. You're not as fat as he used to be. The military option is on the table. So is the administration really willing to risk the NATO alliance by potentially moving ahead of military operations? What I think the White House said yesterday is what I will tell you now, and I've always said, the president always retained the option.

Every president, not this president, every president, every president always retains the option. I'm not talking about Greenland. I'm just talking about globally. If the president identifies a threat to the national security of the United States, every president retains the option to address it through military means. As a diplomat, which is what I am now, and what we work on, we always prefer to settle it in different ways. That included in Venezuela.

We tried repeatedly to reach an outcome here that did not involve having to go in and grab an indicted drug trafficker. Those were unsuccessful, unfortunately. The people of Venezuela are waking up to the same regime. Do you not worry about that? First of all, the bottom line is that there's a process now in place where we have tremendous control and leverage over what those interim authorities are doing and are able to do. But obviously this will be a process of transition. In the end, it will be up to the Venezuelan people to transform their country. We are prepared under the right conditions using the leverage that we have, which includes the fact that they cannot move any oil unless we allow them to move it.

Well, again, I'm not going to give you a timeline on it. We want it to move as soon as possible. But we didn't expect this would spend three days since this happened, four days since this happened. So I understand that in this cycle and society we now live in, everyone wants instant outcomes. They want it to happen overnight. It's not going to work that way. But we're already seeing progress with this new deal that's been announced and more deals to follow. You already seeing how the leverage the United States have over those interim authorities is going to begin to lead to positive outcomes.

It just cost American taxpayers. American, how much, how long do the American public? It doesn't cost us. The U.S. involvement in Venezuela, how much will it cost us any money? For example, this oil deal that's happening doesn't cost us any money. On the contrary. And if it opens up, no money to the American taxpayer. Look, I don't have the numbers.

What operation are you talking about? The entire thing? Well, these troops are going to be deployed. None of these troops sit in a dry dock waiting for action. They're deployed somewhere in the world. If they're not here, they're somewhere else. Just today, our forces not deployed to the Caribbean, seized a boat, a sanctioned boat tied to the IRC that tried to flee from us.

That happened somewhere. somewhere else. We are constantly involved in action. We have boats in the Mediterranean. We have ships in the Middle East. We have ships in the Indo-Pacific. These ships, if they weren't in the Caribbean, they'd be somewhere else conducting activity. That's what the Navy does. Get in there, Pete. I want to emphasize that. Yeah. Question from CNN. The question is ever asked, how much does it cost when they're in the Mediterranean or the Red Sea or the Indian Ocean or the Pacific? But now that they're in our hemisphere, on a counter-cartel mission or ensuring that an indicted individual comes to justice, now you're asking the question of cost. It's a disingenuous question to begin with.

You're trying to find any angle possible to undermine the success of one of the most historic military missions. The world has ever seen. The level of sophistication that Senate just was briefed on, and the House was briefed on. A classified level is something only the United States of America can accomplish. The world is taking notice of that, certainly Venezuela is taking notice of that. And it continues because two oil tankers, two overnight, were seized by the United States of America, stateless or sanctioned because the oil blockade. the quarantine of oil out of unsanctioned or stateless, sanctioned or stateless vessels.

Continues. That leverage will continue as Secretary Rubio outlined. So our military is prepared to continue this. As he said, the president, when he speaks, he means let, means it. He's not messing around. We're an administration of action to advance our interests. And that is on full display. We're happy to brief the house. I have to brief the house and you want nothing. No, no, no, no. Two quick things, okay, number one, because we have to go because we got to brief the house. And if we don't and they're pissed at us,

we're gonna, you guys better defend us that was because we were talking to you. I'll meet one more point. It's a very interesting point. One of those ships that were seized that had oil in the Caribbean, you know what the interim authorities are asking for in Venezuela? Tell me. They want that oil that was seized to be part of this deal.

They understand, they understand that the only way they can move oil and generate revenue and not have economic collapse is if they cooperate and work with the United States and that's what we see are going to happen. We got to go talk to the House, guys. I apologize. Love it. Love it, man. Talk about results. How could you not feel good about what's going on in the world today? I do. Thanks for watching. Bye, bye. Again and again, again, and the president wouldn't do it. And yet when it was time to have the president answer for his actions, Mitch McConnell folded and just went down a different path. But again, we don't ag,

We organize, we organize for making the future better. I wear the future on my sleeve or under my sleeve. I have faith, hope, and love. Bracelts. I say if you believe in love in the goodness of the American people that gives people hope. So rather than just focusing on him, but she does this in order to get attention,

we want to show that the American people are good people. Good interview. I can't do this. What happened then, was horrible. Mm-hmm. It was horrible. Fags under Lincoln's dome,

the dome that Lincoln built to, while he was unifying. So many facts. We're in the unity of our country together, our union together. And this president, for some reason, decided that he was going to incite the...

Why did I stay up?
