The Harry Sisson Show - Trump Stooge PANICS When Confronted On CRIMES

Episode Date: January 28, 2026

Harry Sisson breaks down a disastrous Senate hearing with Marco Rubio where he was pressed on the major failures and crimes of the Trump administration.

All right, folks, so the Trump regime is having a very bad day today. Not only are senior officials turning on each other and throwing each other under the bus, not only has the fallout from the ice shooting in Minnesota been devastating for Donald Trump, but also Marco Rubio, a Trump lackey, a Trump goon, was humiliated on Capitol Hill today by a member of his own party. Republicans are actively turning on the Trump regime. They can see where the political winds are blowing, and they're not blowing in favor. of Donald Trump. So, Marco Rubio was grilled about what took place in Venezuela with Donald Trump capturing Maduro, bombing the country, all of those things. And Marco Rubio really just didn't have an

answer for the blatant hypocrisy that is being demonstrated. So we're going to show you some clips. We'll talk about it a little bit. Before I do any of that, make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think about this story. And let's just start here where Rand Paul was making a question, Senator Rand Paul, Republican from Kentucky, was making a point to Marco Rubio saying, so if somebody, you're saying that in Venezuela, we're not at war, but if somebody captured our president, invaded our country, bombed our country, wouldn't that be war? And Marco Rubio just really had no answer. Just take a listen. Our founders debated extensively over which branch of government should have the power to declare

or initiate war. Virtually unanimously, they decided in what was entered into the Constitution was that the declaration or initiation of war would be the power of Congress. Now, we have many advocates, many of them are here today, who have been advocates for an expansive notion of presidential power. They often argue that wars are not really wars, that they're kinetic actions or drug bus. I think, though, if you reverse the circumstances, it becomes very difficult for these arguments to hold up. So I would ask you, if a foreign country bombed our air defense missiles, captured and removed

our president and blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? Well, I think your question is about the, and I will acknowledge you've been very consistent on all these points the entire career. So, let me, no matter who's in charge. So I will point to two things. The first is it's hard for us to conceive that an operation that lasted about four and a half hours and was a law enforcement operation to capture someone we don't recognize as a head of state, indicted in the United States, wanted with a $50 million balance.

question would be if it only took four hours to take our president's very short nobody dies on the other side nobody dies on our side it's perfect would it be an act of war we just don't believe that this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition of war would it be an act of war if someone did it to us nobody dies few casualties they're in and out boom it's a perfect military operation would that be an act of war of course it would be an act of war i'm probably the most anti-war person in the senate and I would vote to declare war if someone invaded our country and took our president. So I think we need to at least acknowledge this is a one-way argument. One-way arguments that don't rebound that you can't apply to yourselves that cannot be universally

applicable are bad arguments. Damn. I mean, that, you know, I despise Rand Paul. He has been a Trump lackey in the past. He kind of sucks up to Donald Trump when he needs to and will, I think, compromise on his values when he needs to help Donald Trump out. But he grilled Marco Rubio there. And there is a bunch of hypocrisy taking place. I mean, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and everybody in the Trump regime, their main argument surrounding Venezuela and saying that it was legal for them to do that without contacting Congress, getting approval from Congress, is that it's not an act of war.

It's just, you know, it's military powers that fall under the president's purview via the constitution. That completely goes out the window when you just ask Markerubio and Donald Trump these questions. If the roles were reversed and somebody did this to us, we, the United States, would absolutely constitute that as an act of war. It wouldn't even be without question. I think every American would agree that that is an act of war. But Donald Trump, Markerubio, and others want us to believe that when they do it to another country, it's not an act of war, they can't just be honest and say that, yeah, they should have contacted Congress, they should have gone through Congress for an operation like this. And it's probably illegal,

both under international law and American law. And Rand Paul continued with this line of questioning as well. Mark Rubio is squirming. He wants to get out of it, but it continued and it wasn't great. So it's a drug bust. What if a foreign country indicts our president for violating a foreign law, should we extradite our president? Should we be okay if they come in and get him by force? Look, I think ultimately we're always going to act in our national interest. And so if somebody comes after our national interest, like the case you've described, which obviously does not exist at this time, but the case you've described, the U.S. always has the right to act in its national interest and to protect itself.

I don't know about this equivalency. Does this justify them doing it? We're always going to do what's best for the United States in America. We're always going to protect our system. But the point isn't, and you're exactly right, we will act in our national interest and we should. So I'm not disagreeing with you at all. What I'm saying is that our arguments are empty then. The drug bust isn't really an argument.

It's a ruse. The war argument, not a war is a war, is a ruse. It's not a real argument. And we do what we do because we have the force. We have the might. We do it because it's in our interest. So we wouldn't let anybody come in, bomb us, blockade us, and take our president. You know, we've had arguments about legitimate, illegitimate presidents, bad elections,

rigged elections. So there's all kinds of same arguments that we've had in our country that they've had in Venezuela. I mean, Marco Rubio really put in a bad spot today. And this is why I say the Trump regime had another bad day

because of stuff like this. Clips like this are going viral right now of Marco Rubio squirming. And I think Ray and Paul is actually right to point out the hypocrisy. And that's what's so frustrating about the Venezuela operation is the hypocrisy.

It's the fact that if you flip the argument on its head, they would have a completely different view. They're trying to lie to the American people by saying, oh, it's this, this, and this, and it's not an act of war, and we were legal to do it because of X, Y, and Z. They know that's not true. If they thought that that was true,

the inverse would be true as well, but obviously they don't believe that. So I actually appreciate Rampal pointing out the hypocrisy, and I love moments like this, because when you get the Trump officials on the record, they're not sitting in their cushy buildings with their film crews, just speaking directly to a camera, when they're approached one-on-one and they're asked these hard

questions, they always fold. Without question, they always fold. They always backtrack, or they get a little bit uncomfortable and they run away from the question, whatever it is. They fold every single time. It's a tale as old as time itself. It's as guaranteed as Donald Trump lying that they fold. The final clip I want to show you is from Senator Chris Van Hollen grilling Marco Rubio on if the oil

companies knew about the operation ahead of time, which would be quite a problem given that Congress didn't. So watch. Now, President Trump has said publicly that he had communications with folks from the oil industry about going into Venezuela before anyone here in Congress was notified. Mr. Secretary, simple yes or no question. Were you with President Trump during any of those conversations he had with people with oil interests in Venezuela about the possibility of opposing Maduro. That's not a simple yes or no question, but I can answer it quickly, and that is the president always elicits opinions from all sorts of people, including, for example, Chevron has an active license in Venezuela. They operate in Venezuela. They've been doing so even when the

sanctions were in place. So of course you would ask Chevron, what is your opinion of Delci Rodriguez, is what are your opinion of their economy and other prospects? But the notion that somehow the president authorized this challenge at the urging of oil executives is absurd. That never happened. Mr. Secretary, I'm asking whether you were with the president. That never happened. I couldn't be with him because it never happened. The oil executives were not involved whatsoever in any of the planning on this matter. Did the president, as he said publicly, informed them about the U.S. operations? I think all of those executives learned about this operation the same time everybody else did.

Well, President Trump has said the opposite in public. No, no, no. Yes, he has. I mean, he said it. I think it was aboard Air Force One on an airplane. It's on public record. You can take a look. Look, Paul, I mean, you know, he's getting super defensive, isn't he? He's freaking out. He's sweating. He's sweating bullets trying to defend Donald Trump and try to claim that Trump didn't let people know ahead of time when Donald Trump is the one who said that he did. I mean, it's like what's so funny about watching these Republicans go into these committee hearings

is they have to actually argue against Donald Trump because Trump says these insane things on the record. He might let things slip. Maybe it's the mental decline or he just. can't control himself, whatever it is. He lets things slip in public on the record, and then these Republicans have to go in there and say, well, you know, that's not actually what he meant. He meant something else. You know, it's, you're misinterpreting it. It's out of content. God, what a clown show of an administration. So look, I just had to show you some of these clips. I think they are

so funny. And I just love watching. As I said, the Trump regime officials go in there and squirm when they're asked these tough questions. I'll leave it there. Thank you so much for watching.
