LIKE THE CHALLENGE, TOO. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. CRANKING UP THE PRESSURE IN THE CARIBBEAN. U.S. SEIZED AN OIL TANKER OF VENEZUELA. WE’RE DOING FINE. HAD A GOOD NIGHT THAT NIGHT AND A GREAT DAY THIS MORNING. >> Dana: MY TIP TO EVERYBODY. IF YOU GO OUT ON A WEEK NIGHT AND YOU HAVE A GREAT TIME THE NEXT MORNING SOMEONE SAYS HOW ARE YOU DOING YOU HAVE TO SAY — BETTER SAY GREAT. I’M GREAT. I’M DANA PERINO AND THIS IS “AMERICA’S NEWSROOM.” TRULY FOX NEWS THREW A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY PARTY. THE BEST PARTY. HAD A GREAT TIME. ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI RELEASING VIDEO SHOWING U.S. FORCES SWOOPING IN FROM A HELICOPTER ABOVE THE VESSEL AND LANDING ON THE DECK OF THE SHIP WITH WEAPONS DRAWN. AT THE WHITE HOUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLED THE SEIZURE MORE THAN JUSTIFIED. >> President Trump: FROM THE STANDPOINT OF NEWS, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, WE’VE JUST SEIZED A TANKER IN THE COAST OF VENEZUELA. A VERY LARGE TANKER. LARGEST ONE EVER SEIZED, ACTUALLY. AND OTHER THINGS ARE HAPPENING. YOU WILL BE SEEING THAT LATER. IT WAS SEIZED FOR A VERY GOOD REASON. >> Bill: ALL OF THIS EXPECTED TO BE A MAJOR POINT OF DISCUSSION. HOUSE HEARING UNDERWAY ON THE WORLDWIDE THREAT TO THE U.S. HOMELAND. BILL MELUGIN REPORTS FROM THE HILL AND GILLIAN FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH REGARD TO VENEZUELA? >> GOOD MORNING. OVERNIGHT VENEZUELA’S LEADERS REACTED TO THE SEIZURE OF THE CRUDE OIL TANKER ACCUSING THE U.S. OF THEFT AND PRESIDENT TRUMP OF BLATANTLY TRYING TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY’S ENTIRE OIL RESOURCES. THE INTERIOR MINISTER. LISTEN. >> THE REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA DENOUNCES WHAT CONSTITUENTS A BLATANT THEFT AND ACT OF INTERNATIONAL PIRACY ANNOUNCED PUBLICLY BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WHO CONFESSES THE ASSAULT OF AN OIL SHIP IN THE CARIBBEAN. >> REPORTERS ASKED TRUMP WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THE OIL ABOARD THAT SHIP. HERE IS WHAT HE SAID? >> President Trump: WE KEEP IT, I GUESS. YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE TANKER. FOLLOW THE TANKER. I ASSUME WE’LL KEEP THE OIL. >> THE ATTORNEY GENERAL POSTING FOOTAGE OF THE SEIZURE SAYS THE F.B.I., HOMELAND SECURITY AND U.S. COAST GUARD EXECUTED THIS OPERATION WITH SUPPORT FROM THE WAR DEPARTMENT. THE U.S. IT TURNS OUT HAD ISSUED A WARRANT FOR THIS OIL TANKER ALLEGING IT WAS USED TO TRANSPORT ILLEGAL OIL FROM VENEZUELA IN SUPPORT OF FOREIGN TERRORIST GROUPS. MADURO HAS BEEN RALLYING HIS SUPPORTERS IN CARACAS. >> WE LEARNED FROM THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF YESTERDAY HE HAS NOT SPOKEN WITH MADURO SINCE THEIR SHOCK PHONE CALL LAST WEEK. IN A SENSE IT IS NOT SURPRISING BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT SINCE THEN HAS CONTINUED TO PUSH FOR HIS OUSTER AND DOES NOT RECOGNIZE POLICE SAY MORE ARRESTS TO COME. DANA, BACK TO YOU. >> Dana: THANK YOU. >> Bill: BANK NOW THAT THE TOP STORY. KEEP A CLOSE EYE BREAKING NEWS. U.S. STEPPING UP ITS FIGHT AGAINST NARCO TERRORISM SEIZING A TANKER OFF THE COAST OF VENEZUELA CARRYING SANCTIONED IRAN AN OIL. THE OPERATION WAS DONE FOR A GOOD REASON ACCORDING TO PRESIDENT TRUMP. LET’S GET SOME ANALYSIS. REBECCA HEINRICH, THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK HERE AND TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT. THE F.B.I. DIRECTOR KASH PATEL. THE TANKER HAS BEEN USED IN RECENT YEARS IN AN ILL ILLS IT SHIPPING NETWORK SUPPORTING FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. THIS ADMINISTRATION’S EFFORTS TO CRUSH AND CUT OFF THE RESOURCES WILL CONTINUE DAY AND NIGHT. WHAT’S THE ENDGAME HERE AS YOU SEE IT, REBECCA? >> THIS IS ACTUALLY A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF VENEZUELA’S CONNECTION TO THESE OTHER AUTHORITARIAN POWERS, TOO. IRAN. THERE IS A DEAL PENNED BETWEEN THEM TO HELP ONE ANOTHER. AS YOU SAID, BILL, VENEZUELA WANTS TO EVADE AMERICAN SANCTIONS AGAINST IRANIAN OIL FOR INSTANCE SO IT HAS THIS BARTER REGIME ESSENTIALLY WHERE IT EXPORTS HEAVY CRUDE ON THESE TANKERS TO IRAN AND IRAN REFINES IT AND CAN EXPORT IT TO CHINA. CHINA HAS A HIGH DEMAND FOR OIL. A WEB OF AUTHORITARIAN COUNTRIES COLLABORATING TO HARM THE UNITED STATES. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SO RIGHTLY INTERDICTED THIS TANKER THAT HAS BEEN SANCTIONED FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. >> Bill: WOULD YOU EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN, REBECCA? >> I DO AS LONG AS THE VENEZUELANS ARE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO CONTINUE TO TRY TO GET UNDER OUR NOSE ESSENTIALLY WHENEVER WE HAVE SUCH A HEAVY NAVAL PRESENCE IN THE REGION TO SHUT THIS DOWN. GENERAL CAIN, THE SHAREMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF WE MAY EXPECT TO SEE MORE COMBAT IN OUR OWN HEMISPHERE AS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS COMPLETELY OUT OF PATIENCE FOR THIS ILLICIT ACTIVITY IN OUR BACKYARD. >> Bill: IS IT SOMETHING THAT WOULD SUGGEST OVER THE HOLIDAYS WE HEAR ABOUT SPECIAL FORCES GOING IN THE DARK OF NIGHT? CAN YOU SEE THAT HAPPENING? >> WE MIGHT HEAR ABOUT THAT, BILL. AGAIN, UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE THE NARCO TERRORISM ELEMENT AND THE REASON THAT’S SO IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE THE NARCO TERRORISTS WORK WITH HAND IN GLOVE THE VENEZUELAN REGIME. KEEPS IT FUNDED AND FUELED AND COLLABORATING THE VENEZUELAN REGIME PROVIDES THE COVER AND HELP THAT THE NARCO TERRORISTS NEED. THAT’S THE CONNECTION WE KEEP HEARING FROM TRUMP OFFICIALS. THERE IS A MUCH LARGER GEOPOLITICAL PICTURE HERE. I THINK WE SHOULD EXPECT THE EXTENT OF VENEZUELANS TRY TO GET OUT FROM UNDER US YOU WILL SEE CONTINUED CRACKDOWN JUST LIKE THE TANKER THAT WE’RE SEEING HERE. >> Bill: A COUPLE OF THINGS HERE, THE PRESIDENT SAID MADURO’S DAYS ARE NUMBERED. WE’VE PLAYED A SOUND BITE HE DELIVERED YESTERDAY. SOME OF IT IN SPANISH, SOME IN ENGLISH SAYING THAT HE WAS DEFIANT. THIS IS NOT IRAQ, NOT BE AFGHANISTAN. HERE IS THE STATE OF PLAY IN THE REGION. OUR MILITARY IS SUBSTANTIAL. WE HAVE 25% OF OUR NAVAL WARSHIPS AT SEA IN THE CARIBBEAN. FOR YOU, WHAT IS THE STATE OF PLAY AS YOU SEE IT? >> THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION UNDERSTAND MADURO HAS TO GO. HE IS JUST A STOOGE FOR THESE OTHER AUTHORITARIAN POWERS ESTABLISHING A FOOTHOLD IN OUR OWN HEMISPHERE AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WANTS MADURO TO EXIT. HE WANTS THE PEOPLE SURROUNDING MADURO TO FORCE HIM OUT. THEY WANT A REGIME THAT’S FRIENDLY TO THE UNITED STATES TO BE REPLACED. TO REPLACE HIM. WHAT THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE WANT. HOW THEY VOTED AGAIN AND AGAIN. WE’RE TRYING. WE, THE UNITED STATES IS TRYING TO FORCE HIM OUT WITHOUT HAVING TO DO MORE EXTREME LIKE STRIKES IN VENEZUELA OR SOME OTHER MILITARY OPTION THAT WOULD BE RISKIER AND PUT AMERICANS AT RISK. THAT’S A END STAGE AT THIS POINT IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. >> Bill: SOUND BITE THREE, GUYS, ROLL IT. THE PRESIDENT WAS ASKED ABOUT THE COLUMBIAN PRESIDENT IN SOUTH AMERICA. >> [INAUDIBLE QUESTION] >> President Trump: I HAVEN’T REALLY THOUGHT TOO MUCH ABOUT HIM. HE HAS BEEN FAIRLY HOSTILE TO THE UNITED STATES AND I HAVEN’T GIVEN HIM A LOT OF THOUGHT. HE WILL HAVE HIMSELF SOME BIG PROBLEMS IF HE DOESN’T WISE UP. COLUMBIA IS PRODUCING A LOT OF DRUGS. THEY HAVE COCAINE FACTORIES THAT STILL MAKE COCAINE AND SELL IT RIGHT INTO THE UNITED STATES. HE BETTER WISE UP OR HE WILL BE NEXT. >> PETRO IS THE LEADER IN COLUMBIA. HE CALLED TRUMP A BARBARIAN BECAUSE OF NARCO TERRORIST HITS IN THE CARIBBEAN. HOW DOES THAT FIT IN HERE? >> AGAIN, THIS IS A NETWORK OF THESE COMMUNIST STATES THAT HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE FOR THEIR OWN COUNTRIES BECAUSE THEY’VE BEEN SO TERRIBLE FOR THEIR OWN COUNTRIES THAT’S WHERE WE SEE THE MIGRANT FLOW INTO THE UNITED STATES. IF YOU WANT TO GET CONTROL OF OUR OWN BORDER, STOP THE MIGRANT FLOW, YOU HAVE TO HAVE MORE STABILITY IN YOUR OWN HEMISPHERE AND WE DON’T WANT THESE COUNTRIES FACILITATING DRUG FLOW INTO THE UNITED STATES. ALL OF THESE COUNTRIES, REALLY HAVE FELT LIKE THEY HAVE HAD SANCTUARY NO LONGER DO THEY HAVE THAT AND THEY SHOULD BE PUT ON NOTICE IF WE’LL GO AFTER VENEZUELA, OF COURSE WE’LL GO AFTER THE OTHER REGIMES. LAST THING I WILL SAY YOU HAVE THE OPPOSITION LEADER THAT HAS FLED VENEZUELA WHO IS PRO-DEMOCRACY AND THAT’S ANOTHER INTERESTING ELEMENT HERE, BILL. SHE IS PRO-UNITED STATES AND NOW SAFE OUTSIDE VENEZUELA. >> Bill: SHE GOT THE NOBEL PEACE PR

  5. Go to the psychiatric departments, hospitals and see the pitiful young persons' drug addiction . How are their suffering and their family .. the 75-year-old elderly mother has to use a cane to walk step by step to visit her son ( or her daughter ) who is screaming on the patient's bed without moving legs and hands and more and more terrible happening take place for addicts also innocent persons will be injured or die when they get addicted and can control their mind . Ask B How does he fell when he see his son get addicted? Don’t earn money on their suffering , “ Making money from evil then have to give it back to the devil
    ‘

  12. Can they send that tanker to California? Two more refineries are closing soob and we could make great 👍 use of that oil!😂😂😂

  14. Under normal conditions this would be considered a "casus belli". Of course Venezuela is in no military position to respond, but is can still be taken as a provocation looking for a Venezuelan military response. What we may expect is Venezuela to call for OAS and UN support, but since his legitimacy is in doubt, we won't be able to draw the necessary support. Meanwhile, I'm watching with popcorn…

  16. Listen what Trump has to say before he falls asleep again 😂 health is declining. Don't you have someone young and not gone mad of power. Soon there will be regime change in Venezuela like recently in Ukraine 😂😂 waiting for the CIA to make the hit 😂. The great depression part 2 coming soon.

  23. So because of the genuine relay between Venezuela and Iran, the USA/Trump has the right to disregard Manduro as a President in his own country, Venezuela? So now America hates Iran and for that matter the whole world MUST hate Iran, even if Iran’s relationship is of IMMENSE benefit to them because of America? Logically there’s no SENSE here

  24. As ordinary Americans struggle, Trump starts beef with Venezuela….. yet you still defend and support this obese peadophile. He's attacking Venezuela in defence of oil oligarchs, not ordinary Americans

  25. 🔴 روح القدس بشکل انسانی وارد این جهان سقوط کرده شد و ((عیسی مسیح)) نام گرفت . او  برای گناهان تمام بشریت برای همه ادوار  بروی  صلیب  مجازات و قربانی شد بر روی تپه ای مسما به جلجتا (یعنی جمجمه) و  گناه جهان( یعنی تمامی  زهر کشنده  شیطان ) را   مانند  یک  سپر بلا  بر خود  گرفت و  با خود به دنیای مردگان برد  و  روز سوم  از دنیای مردگان  و  قبر  رستاخیز  کرد . عیسی مسیح خداوند بر روی صلیب بشکل انسانی است که آغوشش را برای جهانیان باز کرده و بالواقع همینطور هم هست منتها درب کشتی نجات(آغوش عیسی مسیح) زمان معین شده ای دارد برای نجات و سپس ربوده شدن کلیسا و سپس آغاز سلطنت ۷ ساله یا همان دوران نظم نوین جهانی دجال(ضد مسیح) عیسی مسیح خداوند با فداکاری کامل و محبت بی انتهایش بهای آزادی رایگان (تو) را دو هزار سال پیش پرداخته است  تا   تو  امروز  از انواع  و  اقسام اسارتهای شیطان آزاد بشی : از تسخیر توسط ارواح  و  اعتیاد و فاحشگی و  زنا  و صیغه گری و چند همسری و همجنسگرایی و  آلت پرستی  و  خودارضایی  و پورنوگرافی  و   مستی و فسق و فجور  و  بدن و عورت نمایی  و چشم چرانی و شکم بارگی  و سقط جنین و  قتل نفس  و  انحرافات جنسی  و  افکاری  و  رفتاری و  دروغ  و  کینه و  نفرت  و فحاشی  و  پرخاشگری  و  افسردگی  و  بیماریهای جسمی  و  روحی روانی  و  میل به خودکشی  و  خیانت  و  خباثت  و  دزدی  و  خودخواهی و  تکبر  و  لجبازی و  تمسخر  و  طمع و  حسادت و مال و پول پرستی و حیوان آزاری و سادیسم  و   مردم آزاری و خودآزاری و  خودبزرگ بینی و خودکم بینی  و  کم رویی و عدم اعتماد بنفس  و شرم و خجالت بی دلیل  و  ناامیدی  و  بت پرستی و  خرافات  و مرده پرستی و جادوگری  و فالگیری و  قمار  و  وحشت  و  بی اعتمادی به آینده  و  اسیر  و  درگیر گذشته  و  انواع اسارتها … وقتی انسان قادر هست قدم بروی کره ماه بگذارد چقدر بیشتر خداوند عیسی مسیح، پادشاه آسمانها با لباس مبدل و فقیرانه پا به جهان ما گذاشت با فروتنی کامل.خداوند در   قالب  یک انسان , سر  و  سلطه شیطان را یکبار برای همیشه   بر روی صلیب  در هم کوبید (تا هر کس از هر نژاد و   زبان  و مذهب(حتی مسیحیان اسمی وراثتی) اگر بپذیرد که انسانی است گناهکار و در اسارت شیطان ، و اگر به مرگ و قیامت عیسی مسیح در قلب خود ایمان بیاورد و توبه کند و ایمانش را به عیسی مسیح (آن کاهن اعظم) اعتراف کند گناهانش با خون مسیح آمرزیده  خواهد شد , و  روح القدس را از خداوند دریافت خواهد کرد  و صاحب تولد تازه در روح خواهد شد و آن طبیعت کهنه نفسانی زمستانی جایش را  به طبیعت بهاری روحانی میدهد  تا پس از آن در اسارت گناه و سلطه شیطان زندگی نکند  بلکه در آزادی روح  و  ذهن  و  نفس و  پس از مرگ هم روحش وارد ملکوت و آسایش ابدی  خواهد شد  و به حیات خود باید ادامه دهد با شکلی متفاوت  و  با بدنی جدید و بی نقص و بی زوال  فارغ از محدودیت های جسمی  و  قوانین فیزیکی حاکم بر این جهان در ابدیت  و  نه به عنوان یک محکوم در حبس و عذاب ابدی… جهنم یا همان دریاچه آتش مکانی است برای مجازات شیطان و فرشتگان سقوط کرده و  نه برای انسانها ، اما وقتی انسان با انتخاب و اراده آزاد  پیرو نفس آلوده و محکوم به فنا خود میشود این یعنی راه جهنم را در پیش گرفته و خداوند چون مانند شیطان دیکتاتور نیست  به انتخاب انسان احترام میگذرد اما میفرماید : راه  بازگشت همیشه باز است تا زمانیکه جان در بدن داری. هر کس در طول عمرش حداقل یک بار باید این خبر مهم مربوط به نقشه الهی خدا درباره نجات و رستگاری را بشنود و تصمیم اش را بگیرد چون هیچکس از زمان مرگ خود آگاه نیست! .این انتخابی است بین موت و حیات و آرامش و عذاب.(عیسی مسیح در «مَثَل دانه گندم» فرمود که اگر دانه‌ای از گندم در خاک نمیرد، تنها یک دانه باقی می‌ماند، اما اگر بمیرد، محصول فراوانی به بار می‌آورد. این مَثَل به فداکاری مسیح و تأثیر گسترده آن اشاره دارد، که مرگ او منجر به نجات و ابدیت برای پیروانش شد، مشابه اینکه چگونه دانه گندم با مردن در خاک، زندگی و محصول جدیدی را به وجود می‌آورد. مفهوم مَثَل: این مَثَل به طور نمادین به مرگ و رستاخیز عیسی مسیح و همچنین به تأثیر فداکاری او بر بشریت اشاره دارد.پیام اصلی: پیام اصلی این است که گاهی برای به دست آوردن چیزی بزرگ‌تر، باید چیزی را فدا کرد.دانه گندم: نشان‌دهنده زندگی مسیح است.خاک: نشان‌دهنده مرگ و زمین است.محصول گندم: نشان‌دهنده زندگی ابدی و پیروان مسیح است که با مرگ او به وجود آمدند.(یوحنا ۳:۱۶) زیرا خدا جهانیان را آن‌قدر محبّت نمود كه پسر یگانهٔ خود را داد تا ((هرکه)) به او ایمان بیاورد هلاک نگردد، بلكه صاحب حیات جاودان شود.🌍✝

  26. Absolute piracy, but wait for the bitching when someone does it back to them. You cant protect all the US bound or departing ships all of the time. Couldnt even beat the houthis without aircraft rolling off the deck.

  27. Trump picks on inconsequential little Venezuela coz the US don’t have the balls to confront a far more dangerous adversary, North Korea.

  29. WIN MURDOCK WIN!!! EPSTEIN'S BIRTHDAY BOOK EVIDENCE is w/ Congress!!
    EPSTEIN MAXWELL & their 15yr. BFF.
    Katie Johnson tells what the BFF did to her. Everything he says is a HOAX is REAL.

  32. If the war to come against Venezuela is about illegal drugs, why not confront Colombia where they are made, and Mexico through which 90% of them flow through?
