Patriotism As A Resolution
New Year, new kind of resolution: what if choosing patriotism—real, responsible, everyday patriotism—could lower the temperature, raise our standards, and bring some pride back into the room? We kick off 2026 by breaking down a high-stakes operation and the bigger story it tells about competence, courage, and common ground.
We walk through Operation Absolute Resolve with a focus on what made it extraordinary: months of joint planning, precise timing, interagency coordination, and more than 150 aircraft converging to execute a complex nighttime apprehension. You’ll hear how discipline, integration, and tactical surprise translate into fewer risks and bigger gains, and why those details matter beyond headlines. Then we look at the split-screen reaction—gratitude in Venezuelan communities and anger in parts of the U.S.—to ask a tough question: are we evaluating results, or just reacting to who delivered them?
From media narratives to personal bias, we examine how outrage can crowd out context and how that distortion weakens civic trust. Instead of treating patriotism as blind loyalty, we frame it as devotion with responsibility: supporting core values, serving our neighbors, staying informed, voting, and celebrating legitimate wins without switching off critical thinking. We connect the mission’s impact to public safety and the long-promised war on drugs, making the case that acknowledging success is not partisanship—it’s stewardship.
If you’re ready for a year defined by clarity, gratitude, and action, this one’s for you. Hit play, then share one concrete way you’ll practice patriotism this week.

00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.080
Can a New Year's resolution save a country?
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:08.400
Today we highlight a tremendous American achievement.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.800
Today we call out BS.
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:17.600
And today we ask you to be proud of the good old US of A.
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:24.800
And if we can all do that today, then we together can save our country.
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:27.039
Let me tell you something.
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:28.559
Everybody struggles.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.079
The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it.
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.560
The choice is completely yours.
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:42.640
Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life.
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.840
What it do, what it do, what it ha did it do.
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:38.719
Good Lord.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.519
Almighty, am I so excited to be back with you?
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:42.560
Oh, it is true.
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:44.159
It is damn true.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:50.159
And I would like to welcome each and every one of you to the year 2026.
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:53.359
Can you believe it, folks?
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:54.719
We have made it.
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.719
The new year is here.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.040
Episode 287.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.480
The fun has just begun.
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:03.439
That's right.
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.280
Episode 287.
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.159
The first episode of the year 2026.
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.919
The first episode and another solid year of podcasting.
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.120
Let's keep this consecutive streak rolling.
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:20.879
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'.
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:22.159
Thank you, Fred Durst.
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.120
Who, by the way, looks like a raging nut job lately.
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:28.719
I don't know.
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.879
Doesn't seem like the same dude way way out there to me.
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:34.639
Anyways, is what it is.
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.639
I won't deny the fact that I really enjoyed the song Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'.
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:46.639
Which that's actually randomly kind of the theme of today's podcast.
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:56.400
Because we're gonna find common ground with people that maybe we don't agree with, and maybe if we have the ability to do so, we can change a lot of things.
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:57.120
Huh.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:13.120
I don't mean to get, you know, rocking and rolling too soon here, because what I was trying to open the show with was saying is welcome to a new year, welcome to a new opportunity, welcome to a new episode, welcome to a new beginning of another year of Share the Struggle Podcast.
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.400
We started this little ditty back in July of 2020.
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:22.719
Here we are in 2026, and we have never missed a show.
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:23.759
What do you know?
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.039
Round of applause for all y'all loyal listeners out there.
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:30.000
Yeah.
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.439
Oh, there they are.
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:32.560
All of them lining up.
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.240
Just yeah, clap for them.
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.759
Give them all the clap.
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.240
You don't mean it like that.
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:39.120
Take it back.
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.000
Take it back.
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:40.960
I appreciate you.
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:41.919
I acknowledge you.
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.599
All my day ones, my loyal ones.
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:44.719
Get your ones up.
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.560
Thank you for being with me on this spiritual journey till Valhalla.
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.080
I greatly appreciate you.
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.039
To all the new ones here, I love you.
00:03:53.199 --> 00:04:03.840
I welcome you, and I thank you for tuning in, for listening, for for joining in on this positive vibe and building this positive tribe that we have here.
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.319
I truly, truly appreciate each and every one of you.
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:17.839
Now, speaking to and of all those beautiful new listeners out there to the Here podcast, I drop the ball.
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:24.240
I usually try to do some research and pinpoint and identify some new cities and states and countries to welcome aboard.
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.040
But as luck would have it, my phone is nearby and so is my podcasting app.
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.920
So as I click over to the app here, some new locations we can shout out.
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.959
Welcome to Hazel, Kentucky.
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:43.120
Welcome to Rapid City, South Dakota, and welcome to Green Valley, Arizona.
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.720
Some of my noobs in the house, I appreciate you.
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:54.079
I look forward to hearing from you, and I thank you for tuning in, for listening, for being a part of this year positive tribe that we're building.
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.439
The name of this year podcast is Share the Struggle because everybody struggles.
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:06.240
And the truth is, boys and girls, if you are bold enough, courageous enough, and willing enough to share your story, then there is strength from everybody's story.
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.639
Everybody's life comes with a lesson and a message and inspiration.
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.399
We just have to be willing to share it.
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.000
And that's what we do.
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.240
We share it.
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:28.480
Now with the opening out the way, the pleasantries out the way, I still have to say hap happy new year to all my fellow Loud Proud Americans out there.
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:35.920
And I want to start this year's roll of shows with our New Year's show, as always.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:43.920
We tend to come out the gate thinking about uh goals and resolutions and guiding words and all those things, and we're gonna keep on doing so.
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:50.720
But I want to start this year's episodes off with a resolution, with a resolution question.
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.959
If you heard the opening of the show, which you did, I mean you just you you're here, you're listening, you heard the opening.
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.279
I don't even know why I asked the question.
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.319
Like fake news over here asking fake questions.
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.120
Can a new year's resolution save a country?
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:17.120
Well, I think a new year's resolution can save a country when that new year's resolution is to be more patriotic.
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:27.279
Now keep that in mind, keep that patriotic resolution in mind as we dig into a few things and we highlight some tremendous things.
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:33.519
And the first thing that I want to highlight is Operation Absolute Resolve.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.120
First, President Trump, I want to thank you for genius marketing on everything you do.
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:46.480
When we went into Iran and blew up all the nuclear bunkers, Operation Midnight Hammer, classic.
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.879
I made a saloo of t-shirts that said Midnight Hammer, and they are all over the Northeast right now.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:00.079
Now, spoiler alert, keep your eyes peeled, your beady little eyes peeled for some Operation Absolute Resolve.
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.759
Because this mission was absolute, no pun intendedly tremendous.
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.199
It's a miracle to me.
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:12.639
It's a whole different world to me to wake up in the morning and be like, oh my god, what did we do overnight?
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.360
Like America's getting shit done overnight.
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:22.160
America has reconfirmed ourselves as the powerhouse, as the superpower.
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.519
Peace through strength continues with our president.
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.399
We are no longer the laughing stock of the world.
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.040
We are the dominant power that we should be.
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.199
Am I building some patriotism in y'all?
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.199
Am I am I you know feeding and fueling some patriotism in y'all?
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.000
I hope I am.
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:38.399
Okay?
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:45.600
Now to better explain this mission and in better effort to fuel and build patriotism and gain a little pride right here.
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:51.519
I'm not gonna describe this mission because I think there's somebody that can do it better.
00:07:51.680 --> 00:08:00.399
So I'm gonna tune up, dial up, and pull up some audio from Joint Chief General Dan Raisin Cain.
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.600
Thank you, uh thank you, Mr.
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:14.240
Secretary.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.519
Thank you, uh, Mr.
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:17.360
President, and good morning.
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:34.799
Last night, on the order of the President of the United States, and in support of a request from the Department of Justice, as the President said, the United States military conducted an apprehension mission in Caracas, Venezuela, to bring to justice two indicted persons, Nicholas and Cecil Maduro.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:53.440
This operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, was discrete, precise, and conducted during the darkest hours of January 2nd and was the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal, an operation that, frankly, only the United States military could undertake.
00:08:53.679 --> 00:09:03.759
What I'd like to do this morning is talk you through some of the preparation and the details without compromising any of our tactics, techniques, and procedures.
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:08.559
There is always a chance that we'll be tasked to do this type of mission again.
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:18.639
Our interagency work began months ago and built on decades of experience of integrating complex air with ground, space, and maritime operations.
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:41.279
This particular mission required every component of our joint force with soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and guardians working in unison with our intelligence agency partners and law enforcement teammates in an unprecedented operation.
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:48.720
We leveraged our unmatched intelligence capabilities and our years of experience in hunting terrorists.
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:58.320
And we could not have done this mission without the incredible work by various intelligence agencies, including the CIO, NSA, and NGO.
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:05.519
We watched, we waited, we prepared, we remained patient and professional.
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:12.240
This mission was meticulously planned for drawing lessons from many missions over these last many years.
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:17.759
This was an audacious operation for only what the United States could do.
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:23.279
It required the utmost of precision and integration within our joint force.
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:30.000
And the word integration does not explain the sheer complexity of such a mission.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:55.679
It involved more than 150 aircraft launching across the Western Hemisphere in close coordination of all coming together in time and place to layer a factor for a single purpose to get an introduction force into downtown Caracolis while maintaining the element of tactical surprise.
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:02.879
Failure of one component of this well-oiled machine would have endangered the entire mission.
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.840
And failure is never an option for America's joint force.
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.879
If that message don't make your pickle tickle, I don't know what does.
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:13.200
Okay?
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.320
If your genes don't quiver, then you better jump back in the river.
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:18.720
I don't know.
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.879
I I couldn't think of a rhyme right there, but I'm excited.
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.440
And I'm building patriotism and I'm building pride.
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:30.480
And I hope that each and every one of you listening on the other side are bubbling up and boiling up some patriotism and some pride.
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:37.679
Those three minutes right there is just a small excerpt from a speech from General Dan Raisin Cain.
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:45.519
And in that speech, he outlines all that went into capturing Nicholas Maduro, the dictator and narco-terrorist.
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.120
150 aircrafts.
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:50.159
Can you imagine?
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:59.759
If you listen to the whole speech or you read the whole article, it is incredible all that, all the moving parts, all that went into this mission.
00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:07.600
And the fact that he says, if one person is off time, if one thing is delayed, then safety is compromised.
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.159
We could lose the mission, we could lose soldiers.
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.960
It's incredible what they were able to pull off.
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:42.960
If you think about these two missions in the matter of, let's say, six months, going into Iran and wiping out those nuclear bunkers, which provides peace to the Middle East, to going to Venezuela in the dark of night, capturing, snatching this narco-terrorist dictator who has stolen an election, who rules over a country as a complete dictator.
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.919
This is amazing stuff.
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:54.399
I often say this when these things happen, that as a kid I remember reading history books and the the key word being history.
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:59.840
I always felt like we weren't making history, we were just observing and learning about history.
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:06.000
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we are making history and we are changing the world.
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:09.360
President Trump has provided peace to the Middle East.
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:16.720
Now I know Hamas isn't you know living up to their end of the bargain right now, but there is peace in the Middle East.
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.240
He brought a lot of countries together to get that figured out.
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.399
We now go in and capture Nicholas Maduro.
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.240
Now I'm saying this and I don't want this whole thing just to be a political rant.
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:36.240
I don't want everybody listening to say, hey man, I didn't tune into the podcast just to get a breakdown play by play of Operation Absolute Resolve.
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.440
Well, that's not it.
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.759
I started the show off asking you, can we save our country with the New Year's resolution?
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:47.360
When that New Year's resolution is to be patriotic, I am fueling some patriotism here.
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:48.799
And I am heading down a road.
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:53.519
I am paving a road, I am painting a picture for the story that needs to be told.
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.639
We just captured a narco-terrorist.
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:10.399
Now, the best way to describe whether this was a good thing, an average thing, or a disappointing thing is by the reactions of the people in that country.
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:24.799
And as soon as this happened, did anybody see the thousands of people in the streets crying and waving flags and cheering and supporting and thanking President Trump for freeing them from this dictator's leadership?
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:37.679
Did you see any of the thousands of people gathered in just Florida, for example, that are Venezuelan Americans, that are giving thanks, that are crying on national TV saying, thank you, President Trump.
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.600
For many years we've wanted this.
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:40.799
We've lost so much.
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.759
I had to leave my country, I had to leave my family behind.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:50.080
All the people that that said, my wealth was taken from me, my family was taken from me, people were murdered.
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.159
I just want to go back home.
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.039
Now I have the option to go back home.
00:14:55.279 --> 00:15:07.919
And President Trump gives his speech, and in the same speech that was, you know, the one that I just played you from General Dan Kane, President Trump outlines the fact that we're going to stay there and we're going to help with this transition.
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:18.240
Because if you just go in and take the bad guy out, there's more bad guys in that regime that are going to rebuild, they're going to step in, they're going to take over, and nothing's going to happen.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.840
It's nothing's going to change.
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:26.399
We need to stay there and instill change and democracy and give these people a chance and an opportunity.
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:29.039
And they're oh so grateful for that opportunity.
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:39.360
I say this, and I and I outline this just to say, what the hell is wrong with these Americans that are in outrage over this?
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:44.320
What is wrong with the Americans that are out protesting in the streets over this?
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:52.159
What is wrong with these crazy left-wing Democrats that are asking President Trump to be removed over this, impeached over this?
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.279
That Maduro should be returned, that this is an outrage.
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:56.480
This is ridiculous.
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.240
We're starting wars.
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:08.000
To have the new nut job in New York, Namdami, Nam Dummy, come out and say that he he condemns this and Maduro should be returned.
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:11.039
This is mind-blowing to me.
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.000
Because the people of Venezuela are happy.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.639
They're loving everything that's going on right now.
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.679
They're loving the change, the optimism, the opportunity.
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.519
But here we are just complaining for the sake of complaining.
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:29.840
Complaining not because of the deed that was done, but by the man that authorized the deed to be done.
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.000
That's not patriotism, folks.
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:33.759
That's prejudice.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.840
That's the opposite of patriotism.
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:42.080
This topic comes to me and arrives a little hot and heated today because last night.
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:47.840
Now, over the past couple days, I've watched some of this news and I've I and I've been blown away.
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:56.399
I've been um just just in awe of the military and and law enforcement and all that went into this.
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:04.240
I've been blown away by President Trump's leadership and all that's happened, these countries that have uh come out in support.
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.039
And I've also been blown away by the negative feedback.
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.119
Now, with all this going on last night, we ran into a little family crisis.
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:16.160
That crisis being that we didn't have any milk in the house for Queen Paisley.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.720
So Allie messaged over to me.
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.759
I was in the office doing some late night work, and it says, You want to go on a milk run?
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:41.680
So we load the family up, we head out on a milk run, pull into a local supermarket, and as I park, I get out, and Allie says, Look over there, and I look, and there's this white, maybe Subaru type vehicle, and it has stickers all over it that is um FDT, which you can't even come up with your own slogan.
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.559
Like we had FJB, you just want to turn it into your own thing.
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:45.440
Come on now.
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:59.920
And there's writing all over this car that says Venezuela oil is more important than Americans, Venezuela oil is more important than Venezuelans, and there's all this outlandish just hate towards President Trump.
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.319
Okay, let's call a spade a spade here.
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:03.759
We can agree to disagree.
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:08.319
I can understand your your feelings and your values if you don't like the man.
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:10.559
That's part of being American, right?
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.079
The melting pot of America.
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:16.400
I can understand, and I'm going to accept you just don't like President Trump.
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:21.200
But why are you so upset with what the man had done?
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:30.079
Why are you so upset with the operation with the completion of capturing a dictator and narco-terrorist?
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:38.400
I literally, the first thing that came to mind was I was hoping I would get out of the vehicle and maybe walk into the air theirs, and I would say, Are you Venezuelan?
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:40.079
That's the only thing I wanted to ask.
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:41.359
Are you Venezuelan?
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:46.319
Because when they clearly, obviously, would say no, because I know that's the case.
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:53.440
I would say, Well, maybe if you ask somebody from Venezuela, they might think differently about the bullshit you have written all over your car.
00:18:54.079 --> 00:19:08.640
Even on my local news, who was NBC main local liberal run news channel, that all they like to do is is promote and talk about all the liberal nonsense that our deadbeat, ridiculous governor tries to accomplish.
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:15.440
Which mind you, there's scandals, there's so much fraud and unanswered questions in our state right now.
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:28.640
Our governor is being peppered with questions that she refuses to respond to, yet she comes out and voices her opinion and her her displeasure with the president and how she condemns all that was accomplished.
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:36.640
So this Maine local news channel, this is all they care about, is spreading and magnifying all this nonsense that's that's coming out.
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:46.960
They're gonna find an alternative avenue to showing, showcasing, highlighting, or just doing their job and covering the facts that's happening in this country.
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:55.440
But they interviewed two people in Maine that are from Venezuela, and they're both nearly brought to tears being thankful that this is happening.
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:59.279
One sharing their story about having to leave their country and all that they've lost.
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:09.599
Two Venezuelan Americans right here in my state nearly brought to tears being thankful and grateful for President Trump.
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:19.680
It's a 10 20 second highlight on a news channel that clearly doesn't want to cover positivity or do their actual reporting duties.
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:28.480
If I go back to our New Year's resolution, just be a patriot.
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.680
Just lean into your patriotism.
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:39.440
If the news would just choose to cover those positives, what difference would we be making in this country?
00:20:39.599 --> 00:21:05.519
If your New Year's resolution was to be more patriotic, if instead of covering all the backlash, the news was showering and highlighting our military, our law enforcement, and our leadership for all that was accomplished, if they were showing all the all the speeches, all the rallies, all the tearful messages saying thank you, thank you, thank you to the US of A for what you did today.
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:10.240
Would that or would that not shower this country with patriotism?
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:16.720
Would that or would that not move away some of the doubt, some of the fear, some of the angst, some of the anxiety?
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:26.880
Instead, we give a microphone and a highlight to all these left-wing Democrats that want to run their mouths about how they condemn what was just done.
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:27.359
Okay?
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:28.799
This is all happening.
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:36.960
All the people that I see in the streets, now right here in my own local supermarket, saying Venezuela oil is more important than America.
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:45.759
Listen, the allies of Maduro, of Venezuela, are Russia, they're Iran, and they're China.
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:47.759
Those are the countries that are pissed right now.
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:49.440
The rest of them, very thankful.
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:50.240
You know why?
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:55.119
That oil is going to Russia, to China, to Iran.
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.480
All people that we shouldn't be helping out right now.
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:14.720
Trump is going in there and controlling Venezuelan oil to get the bad guys out, to not only help Americans with the price of the gas pump, but I also want you to know that American oil companies are the ones that built most of those refineries over there.
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:18.000
American oil companies are the ones that funded most of this.
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.799
And if they're going to step back in and rebuild, then they're going to get some of their money back.
00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.080
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:08.400
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.800
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:17.600
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:24.800
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:27.039
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:28.559
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.079
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.560
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:42.640
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.840
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:38.719
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.519
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:42.560
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:44.159
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:50.159
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:53.359
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:54.719
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.719
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.040
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.480
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:03.439
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.280
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.159
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.919
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.120
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:20.879
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:22.159
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.120
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:28.719
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.879
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:34.639
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.639
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:46.639
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:56.400
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:57.120
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:13.120
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.400
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:22.719
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:23.759
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.039
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:30.000
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:31.439
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:32.560
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.240
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.759
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.240
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:39.120
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.000
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:40.960
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:41.919
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.599
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:44.719
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.560
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.080
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.039
00:03:53.199 --> 00:04:03.840
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.319
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:17.839
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:24.240
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.040
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.920
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.959
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:43.120
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.720
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:54.079
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.439
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:06.240
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.639
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.399
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.000
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.240
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:28.480
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:35.920
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:43.920
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:50.720
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.959
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.279

00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:33.519
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.120
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:46.480
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:52.879
00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:00.079
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.759
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.199

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.360
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:22.160
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.519
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.399
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.040
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.199
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.199
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.000
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:38.399
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:45.600
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:51.519
00:07:51.680 --> 00:08:00.399
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.600
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:14.240
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.519

00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:05.519
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:12.240
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:17.759
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:23.279
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:30.000
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:55.679
