IN THE VENEZUELAN MILITARY WHO
DO NOT LET THE FOOD PASS
THROUGH IS A CRIME AND THEY
WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT.
JIM DEFEDE JOINS US NOW.
A VERY STRONG SPEECH BY THE
PRESIDENT AND VERY WELL
RECEIVED BY THE GROUP AT FIU
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE SPEECH OVERALL?
IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT WAS
ACTUALLY IN THE SPEECH, NO NEW
INITIATIVES, NOTHING NEW
NECESSARILY IN THE SPEECH.
BUT WHAT YOU REALLY TOOK AWAY
FROM THE SPEECH OR AT LEAST
WHAT I TOOK AWAY FROM THE
SPEECH IS THAT A LOT OF WHAT
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE WAS
DIRECTED TOWARD THE MILITARY
AND IT DOES APPEAR WE ARE
HEADED TOWARD A SHOWDOWN THIS
SATURDAY AS THE REPORTERS HAVE
BEEN NOTED EARLIER, THE ACTING
OR INTERIM PRESIDENT JUAN
GUAIDO HAS BEEN CALLING FOR
DEMONSTRATIONS ON SATURDAY ON
THE 23rd TO HELP BRING
ESSENTIALLY THE HUMANITARIAN
AID INTO THE COUNTRY.
THE PRESIDENT TODAY IN HIS
ADDRESS SAID, SPEAKING TO THE
CUBAN MILITARY OR THE
VENEZUELAN MILITARY, YOU MUST
END THE NIGHTMARE AND LET YOUR
PEOPLE GO AND SIT YOUR COUNTRY
FREE.
I THINK WHAT WE WILL SEE ON
SATURDAY IS A PIVOTAL MOMENT
WHERE THE MILITARY VENEZUELA
WILL DECIDE WHO THEY LET THAT
HUMANITARIAN AID IN OR DO THEY
PHYSICALLY TRY TO BLOCK IT AND
IF THAT IS THE CASE AS THIS
RATCHETS UP TO WHERE THE OTHER
COUNTRIES IN THE AREA,
COLOMBIA, BRAZIL, ARGENTINA, DO
THEY THEN STEP IN AND IS A LEAD
TO MORE OF AN MILITARY
INTERVENTION.
A LOT OF COUNTRIES ARE
BEHIND JUAN GUAIDO.
HE ALSO DIRECTED THIS THE CUBA
AND NICARAGUA AND OTHER
SOCIALIST COUNTRIES AND BROUGHT
IT BACK TO THE UNITED STATES
SAYING AMERICA WILL ALWAYS BE
FREE.
IF THERE WERE TWO AUDIENCES,
THE FIRST NICOLAS MADURO TO
LEAVE AND THE MILITARY TO RELENT
AND END THE ELYSIAN TO MADURO.
IN A SECOND AUDIENCE WAS A
DOMESTIC AUDIENCE.
FIRST AND FOREMOST SPEAKING TO
CUBAN-AMERICANS AND VENEZUELAN
AMERICANS SOLIDIFYING THE BASE.
THAT WHAT YOU ARE ALSO SEEING
IS THE PRESIDENT OUTLINE FOR
THE 2020 CAMPAIGN. HE TOUCHED
ON IN THE STATE OF THE UNION
ADDRESS TALKING ABOUT HOW
AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A
SOCIALIST COUNTRY AND HE
REPEATED THAT THEME AGAIN EASILY
USING SOCIALIST ASPECTS GOING
ON WITHIN LATIN AMERICA TO TRY
TO SAY WE CANNOT HAVE THAT HERE
AND IT'S A VERY GOOD MESSAGE
FOR THE PRESIDENT AND IT IS
WHAT HELPED RON DESANTIS BEAT
ANDREW GILLUM BY LABELING HIM A
SOCIALIST.
A PLACE HERE IN FLORIDA.
SWITCHING GEARS A LITTLE
BIT, YOU TALK TO ONE OF THE
PRESIDENT'S KEY ADVISORS ABOUT
THE INTERVIEW THAT THE FORMER
DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE F VI
GAVE 60 MINUTES OVER THE
WEEKEND.
WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SIT DOWN, WITH THE DIRECTOR OF
STRATEGIC LOCATIONS WITH THE
WHITE HOUSE AND HAS EMERGED AS
A KEY PLAYER WITHIN THE
ADMINISTRATION AND WE TALKED TO
HER ABOUT THE 60 MINUTES
INTERVIEW AND I WANTED TO GET
HER OPINION.
TO GIVE HIM A BIG PLATFORM
BECAUSE YOU HAVE THESE PEOPLE
SIMPLY WHO DETEST THE PRESIDENT
AND WANT TO GIVE AN OPPONENT OR
SOMEONE WHO DETEST THE PRESIDENT
, I THINK IT'S VERY
IMPORTUNATE.
SPIT DOES A PRESENT BELIEVE THAT
ROD ROSENSTEIN WAS SERIOUS
ABOUT WEARING A WIRE?
I WAS IN THE ROOM WHEN THE
PRESIDENT WAS TALKING TO ROD
AND ROD SAID FOR FACT THAT THAT
DID NOT HAPPEN.
THE OTHER BIG CLAIM THAT
CAME OUT WAS THAT THE PRESIDENT
SAID I BELIEVE PUTIN WHEN IT
COMES TO NORTH KOREA AND I
DON'T NECESSARILY BELIEVE THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.
IS STRICTLY DISMISSES AND
