Watters: It’s JUDGEMENT day…

Watters: It’s JUDGEMENT day…

LOOK SLOPPY? >> Jesse: FOX NEWS ALERT. JUDGMENT DAY. MADURO HAS BEEN PRAYING TO THE NARCO TERRORIST SOCIAL DICTATOR WHO TOOK OVER FOR CHAVEZ IN VENEZUELA AND KEEPS SLUTING THE STREETS WITH GANGS AND COCAINE. 11 CARRIERS ARE NOW OFF THE COAST, AS THE PRESIDENT HOLDS HIGH LEFRLS OF MEETINGS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. THE CHOSE IS MADURO’S. TRUMP IS GIVING HIM AN ULTIMATUM. ADVOCATE POWER OR ELSE. AFTER TRUMP’S PHONE CALL WITH THE DICTATOR, THAT’S THE BEST OFFER. >> DID YOU HAVE A PHONE CALL WITH MADURO? >> President Trump: I DON’T WANT TO COMMENT ON IT. THE ANSWER IS YES. >> CAN YOU COMMENT? NO. >> President Trump: I WOULD SAY IT WENT WELL. BADLY. IT WAS A PHONE CALL. >> Jesse: THIS TIME IT WASN’T A PERFECT PHONE CALL. THE VENEZUELAN STRONGMAN REPORTEDLY ASKED FOR GLOBAL AMNESTY. AND TRUMP SAID, HOW ABOUT NO. THEN HE SAID, WHAT IF I HOLD FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS? TRUMP SAID, NO. YOU ALREADY DID THAT AND YOU LOST. THEN HE ASKED, IF I STEP DOWN, CAN I STILL CONTROL THE MILITARY? 47 SAID PACK YOUR BAGS. EVEN WITH THE $50 MILLION BOUNTY ON HIS HEAD, MADURO HAS MAINTAINED AN IRON GRIP ON POWER BY BRIBING HIS CONEYS WITH KICKBACKS. THIS TIME THE NARCOS AREN’T CALLING SHOTS ANYMORE. UNCLE SAM IS, AKA TRUMP. AND THE PRESIDENT IS TIGHTENING THE NOOSE. HE CALLED THE AIRSPACE ABOVE VENEZUELA CLOSED. CLOSING AIRSPACE CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING. THIS IS ESCALATING AND IT ESCALATEK QUICKLY. THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF ISN’T GOING TO RATCHET UP THE PRESSURE AND THEN WALK AWAY WITHOUT A WIN. THERE IS NO WAY MADURO CAN FACE DOWN THE FULL FORCE OF THE U.S. CARRIER STRIKE GROUP. THE PRESIDENT IS KEEPING HIS OPTIONS OPEN. >> WHAT’S YOUR POSITION ON WHETHER U.S. TROOPS ON THE GROUND THERE? I KNOW YOU’VE ANTICIPATED THAT BEFORE BUT WHAT’S THE CURRENT? >> IN VENEZUELA? MY PREVIOUS ANSWER STANDS. THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS THAT ARE ON THE TABLE. >> Jesse: THE WORD ON THE STREET IS MADURO WILL BE OUT OF POWER BEFORE CHRISTMAS. NO ONE IS BAILING THE SOCIALIST OUT. HE’S GETTING NO LOVE FROM HIS SPONSORS IN BEIJING AND MOSCOW. PUTIN AND XI JINPING ARE AT THE TABLE DOING DIPLOMATIC DEALS. THEY AREN’T GOING TO THROW HIM A LINE OVER SMALL FRY. VENEZUELAN GANGS HAVE BEEN TRAFFICKING BOAT LOADS OF COKE TO THE WEST AFRICA AND THE AFRICANS HAVE BEEN POURING INTO FRANCE AND GERMANY. MADURO IS ISOLATED. ACCORDING TO U.N. INVESTIGATORS HE’S OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. HE ONLY GOT 20% OF THE VOTE LAST YEAR, STOLE THE ELECTION AND WOULDN’T LEAVE AND HE’S UNLEASHED MIGRANTS, GANGS AND POISON ON TO OUR SHORES. SHUCK SCHUMER’S BACKED MILITARY ACTION IN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, SYRIA, LIBYA, YEMEN AND UKRAINE. HE’S DOWN FOR WHENEVER, WHEREVER, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. BUT NOW THAT TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT, HE HAS QUESTIONS. >> AMERICANS ARE RIGHT TO WONDER. WHAT ON EARTH IS DONALD TRUMP PLANNING IN VENEZUELA? IS DONALD TRUMP JUDGING AMERICA INTO ANOTHER WAR? IS HE SEEKING REGIME CHANGE FROM MADURO? WILL HE PUT U.S. TROOPS IN HARM’S WAY? NOBODY KNOWS. >> Jesse: THERE IS NO WAY TRUMP IS TELLING SCHUMER ANYTHING. YOU MIGHT AS WELL TELL MADURO. SCHUMER IS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW THE WAR ON DRUGS HAS BEEN A FOUR DECADE FAILURE AND HE KNOWS THAT TRUMP DIDN’T STORM BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE JUST TO REPEAT THE FAILURES OF PAST PRESIDENTS. THE SECOND OF THE NAVY GETS IT. >> DRUGS KILL MORE AMERICANS THAN WE’VE EVER LOST IN WARS, SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE PRESIDENT HAS CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THIS AS AN ATTACK ON THE COUNTRY. WHICH IT IS. >> Jesse: THE TRAFFICKERS ARE ON DELIVER OR DIE MISSIONS. THEY FERRYING CARGO THROUGH THE PACIFIC AND THE GULF OF AMERICA. SOME OF THE SPEED BOATS ARE 40 FEET LONG AND CARRYING $70 MILLION OF CONTRABAND. ENFORCING OUT MADURO SENDS A POWERFUL SIGNAL TO THE COLOMBIANS, TO THE MEXICANS AND CHINESE. AMERICAN DETERRENCE IS BACK. VENEZUELA IS A LAUNCHING BAD FOR COKE, AND THEY ARE GETTING SQUEEZED. THE CIA IS ALREADY ON THE GROUND THERE AND HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE THE PRESIDENT OPTIONS. OPERATION SOUTHERN SPEAR IS DESIGNED TO DEFENDS THE AMERICAN HOMELAND FROM DRUG WARFARE. GUESS WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT? >> IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND THOSE ARE DRUG BOATS, WHO WOULD GO ON THOSE BOATS, IT’S PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED, AND THEY ARE TOLD GET ON THE BOATS OR WE WILL EXECUTE YOUR CHILDREN. >> Jesse: WHERE IS HE GETTING THIS FROM? COKE BOATS AREN’T BEING DRIVEN BY HOSTAGES. THE “WALL STREET JOURNAL” REPORTS EACH BOAT IS MANNED BY THREE TO FOUR WELL-PAID PROFESSIONALS. A PILOT, A MECHANIC, A NAVIGATOR AND A VOUCHER MAN. SOMEONE WHO IS TRUSTED BY THE BUYER AND THE SELLER. NOW SOMEONE IS TRYING TO SABOTAGE U.S. OPERATIONS, AND THE SABOTEURS ARE COMING FROM WITHIN OUR OWN COUNTRY. OVER THE WEEKEND, THE “WASHINGTON POST” ACCUSED THE SECRETARY OF WAR OF COMMITTING WAR CRIMES. HEGSETH — SAYS KILL THEM OFF. THE STORY GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS. U.S. SOUTHERN COMMAND LAUNCHED AN AIR STRIKE AGAINST A COKE BOAT. THEY SAW THAT THERE WERE SURVIVORS AND LAUNCHED A SECOND STRIKE. SO THERE WERE NONE. PETE CALLS IT FAKE NEWS. “OUR CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE CARIBBEAN ARE LAWFUL UNDER BOTH U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL LAW, WITH ALL ACTIONS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW OF ARMED CONFLICT. AND PROVED, UP AND DOWN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.” HERE’S THE WHITE HOUSE. >> THE ADMINISTRATION DENY THAT THAT SECOND STRIKE HAPPENED, OR THAT IT HAPPENED AND THE ADMINISTRATION DENIES THAT SECRETARY HEGSETH — >> SECRETARY HEGSETH TOLD BRADLEY TO CONDUCT THE STRIKES. >> Jesse: LEGAL OPERATIONS LIKE THIS GO THROUGH LAYERS, EVERYTHING GOES UP AND DOWN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND, AND GETS SIGNED OFF ON BECAUSE WE VALUE LIFE IN AMERICA. THE UNITED STATES HAS INSTRUCTED STRIKES ALL OVER THE GLOBE LIKE THIS FOR DECADES. BUT FOR SOME REASON, WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP DOES IT, IT’S A CRIME. >> WHAT LAW IS IT THAT ALLOWS NO SURVIVORS? >> THE STRIKE CONDUCTED ON SEPTEMBER 2 CONDUCTED IN SELF-DEFENSE. THE STRIKE WAS CONDUCTED IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF ARMED CONFLICT. >> Jesse: WHEN BARACK OBAMA AUTHORIZED LEGAL STRIKES AGAINST ISIS DURING THE WAR ON TERROR, AND OUR OPERATORS LAUNCHED A MISSILE AT A CONVOY OF ISIS FIGHTERS AND THE MISSILE HIT, THE SMOKE CLEARS, YOU SEE ONE GUY STILL HANGING OFF THE BACK OF A HUMVEE TRYING TO GET AWAY. BOOM. YOU FINISH THE JOB. YOU AREN’T GOING TO SEND AMERICAN MEN IN TO GRAB THE SURVIVING TERRORISTS, TAKE THEM TO OUR BASE AND GIVE THEM A DINNER AND A DOCTOR. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT. THESE CARTEL TRAFFICKERS HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED AS FOREIGN TERRORISTS. WE’RE BLOWING UP TERRORISTS IN THE CARIBBEAN, BUT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO RESCUE THEM FROM DROWNING IF THEY SURVIVE? NOW, I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS STRIKE, BUT SENATOR VAN HOLLAND HAS A NEW HOAX. >> NEW HOAX ALERT. NEW HOAX ALERT. >> I THINK IT’S VERY POSSIBLE THERE WAS A WAR CRIME COMMITTED, OF COURSE, FOR IT TO BE A WAR CRIME YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S WHOLE CONSTRUCT HERE. WHICH IS WE’RE IN ARMED CONFLICT, AT WAR, WITH THIS PARTICULAR — WITH DRUG GANGS, OF COURSE, THEY HAVE NEVER PRESENTED THE PUBLIC WITH THE INFORMATION THEY HAVE GOT HERE. BUT IT COULD BE WORSE THAN THAT. IF THAT THEORY IS WRONG, THEN IT’S PLAIN MURDER. >> Jesse: BARBARIC CARTELS ARE INJECTING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF NARCOTICS INTO OUR COUNTRY, CAUSING DEATH AND VIOLENCE, AND ADDICTION. THAT’S NOT A WAR CRIME? BUT STOPPING THEM IS A WAR CRIME? NOW WE KNOW WHAT THE SEDITIOUS SIX VIDEO WAS SETTING UP. >> DO YOU BELIEVE IF THERE WAS A SECOND STRIKE TO ELIMINATE ANY SURVIVORS, THAT THAT CONSTITUTES A WAR CRIME? >> IT SEEMS TO. IF WHAT HAS BEEN REPORTED IS ACCURATE, I’VE GOT SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT ANYBODY IN THAT CHAIN OF COMMAND STEPPING OVER A LINE THAT THEY SHOULD NEVER STEP OVER. >> Jesse: IT MAKES SENSE, DOESN’T KNIT KELLY AND HIS CREW WERE TELLING SOLDIERS TO DISOBEY THEIR SUPERIORS, TO HIT COKE BOATS. NEXT TIME THE SECRETARY OF WAR ORDERS A COKE BOAT BLOWN, WE COULD SEE SOLDIERS MUTINY. DEMOCRATS ARE TELLING SOLDIERS TO MUTINY. >> JUST SAY SIMPLY I’M NOT GOING TO DO THAT. THAT’S AGAINST THE LAW. >> IT PUTS A LOT OF BURDEN ON THE TROOPS TO MAKE A DECISION IN REAL-TIME? >> A REASONABLE PERSON CAN TELL SOMETHING THAT IS LEGAL AND SOMETHING THAT’S ILLEGAL. >> SO YOU WOULD REFUSE THESE SPECIFIC ORDERS TO STRIKE DRUG BOATS IF YOU WERE STILL IN UNIFORM? >> THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INITIAL STRIKE AND WHAT’S BEING REPORTED, YOU KNOW, AS A SECOND STRIKE, AND THOSE THINGS ARE DIFFERENT. I THINK THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS TIED THEMSELVES IN KNOTS. >> Jesse: THE LADIES OF THE VIEW WHO I KNOW HAVE NEVER DONE COCAINE, EVER, SAYS NOT ONLY IS HEGSETH A WAR CRIMINAL, BUT ALL THE RANK AND FILE SHOULD GO ON TRIAL. >> THE PERSON WHO GAVE THE ORDER CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, AND PUT IN PRISON. THE PEOPLE WHO CONDUCTED THE ORDERS, WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER, ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE, AND CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, SO NOW YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE SERVING THEIR COUNTRIES, THAT ARE SERVING THIS COUNTRY, AS PATRIOTS, PERHAPS FOLLOWING AN ILLEGAL ORDER, AND THEN THEMSELVES CAN BE COURT-MARTIALED. >> Jesse: I DON’T THINK SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN PARTICIPATING IN OPERATION SOUTHERN SPEAR ARE WATCHING “THE VIEW.” BUT WORD IS GETTING OUT THAT FOLLOWING ORDERS IN LATIN AMERICA COULD LAND YOU IN LEAVENWORTH. SENATORS ARE TELLING SOLDIERS TO USE THE N WORD. >> YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU WERE A CAPTAIN IN THE NAVY. IF YOU RECEIVED THAT ORDER WOULD YOU HAVE CARRIED IT OUT? >> NO. >> Jesse: TRUMP SAYS NO ONE IS GETTING PUNISHED EXCEPT THE PEOPLE INTERFERING WITH MILITARY OPERATIONS. “THERE ARE LAWS THAT AFFECT OUR NATION, READ TITLE 18 CHAP 115 SECTION 2387 — INFLUENCE THE LOYALTY, MORALE OR DISCIPLINE OF THE MILITARY, ENABLE FORCES, WILL BE FINED OR IMPRISONED UP TO 10 YEARS.” SO WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE GET OFF? THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, AFTER ABBEY GATE EXECUTED 10 AFGHANS WITH A REAPER DRONE AND CALLED IT A RIGHTEOUS STRIKE. 48 HOURS LATER, OOPS, IT WAS AN INNOCENT FAMILY. I GUESS IT’S NOT A WAR CRIME IF IT’S AN ACCIDENT. BOMBS AWAY BARRY DROPPED OVER 20,000 BOMBS ON SEVEN COUNTRIES IN 2016. KILLED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. NOT ALL OF THEM WERE TERRORISTS. THERE WAS A LOT OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE. WAS ANYONE COURT-MARTIALED? WHAT WE’RE WITNESSING NOW IS A SETUP, THE “WASHINGTON POST” LEAKS A STORY ABOUT A DOUBLE TAP STRIKE AND THE SEDITIOUS SIX COMES OUT AND CALLS IT A WAR CRIME. A WEEK AFTER THEIR VIDEO TOLD SOLDIERS TO DISOBEY ORDERS. IT’S SO OBVIOUS THE VIEW SEES IT. >> I KNOW THIS IS WHY THOSE DEMOCRATIC FEDS PUT OUT THAT VIDEO LAST WEEK THAT PEOPLE SAID, WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO SAY WHAT’S ALREADY OBVIOUS? THE LIKELIHOOD OF THIS IS, IT’S NOT — WE’RE NOT AT WAR WITH VENEZUELA BUT IT’S MURDER. IT’S FLAT-OUT MURDER AND ANYONE THAT ACTED ON THOSE ORDERS COULD BE HELD ON WAR CRIMES. >> Jesse: THEY HAVE BEEN FOAMING THE WRAY FOR A WHILE. SLOTKIN WHO IS RUNNING POINT FOR THIS DOMESTIC PROPAGANDA OPERATION SAID LAST MONTH TRUMP, NOT MADURO, IS THE REAL DICTATOR. >> HE SEEMS TO BE LAYING THE GROUNDWORK TO STAY IN POWER. THERE ARE TWO WAYS THIS CAN HAPPEN. BOTH STRAIGHT OUT OF THE SAME AUTHORITARIAN PLAYBOOK. THE FIRST, A SCENARIO IN WHICH TRUMP FINDS A PRETEXT, INVOKES THE INSURRECTION ACT. ELECTIONS COULD BE CANCELED. >> Jesse: ISN’T IT FUNNY THAT THE CIA BACKED SEDITIOUS SIX DOESN’T WANT REAL WAR ON DRUGS. THEY WANT US TO DO THE SAME THING THAT HASN’T WORKED FOR DECADES. MAYBE IT HAS WORKED FOR THE CIA. THE CIA REPORTEDLY USES THE WAR ON DRUGS AS BLACK OPPOSITE. OFF THE BOOK OPERATIONS. THAT’S BEEN WIDELY REPORTED. NOW THE MILITARY IS LEAKING CLASSIFIED INTELLIGENCE ABOUT AIR STRIKES IN THE CARIBBEAN. HUH. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE FACTIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT WHO DO NOT WANT TRUMP TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LATIN AMERICA. ISN’T IT WEIRD THAT THEY HAVE NO ISSUES FIGHTING WARS IN EUROPE, AND BOMBING COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST, BUT WHEN IT’S IN OUR OWN BACKYARD, AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THEN THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. >> THE UNITED STATES IS UNDER ATTACK FROM ORGANIZED CRIMINAL NARCOTERRORISTS IN OUR HEMISPHERE AND THEENT IS RESPONDING IN DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY. I DO FIND IT INTERESTING THAT ALL OF THESE COUNTRIES WANT US TO SEND AND SUPPLY, FOR EXAMPLE, NUCLEAR CABLE TOMAHAWK MISSILES TO DEFEND EURO
