LIZ: THE U.S. AND VENEZUELA WITH
AN EMBARGO FREEZING ITS ASSETS
IN THE U.S.
JOHN BOLTON IS IN LIMA, PERU,
TALKING ABOUT VENEZUELA.
REPORTER: PRESSURE AND PAIN ON
VENEZUELA'S LEADERS RAMMED UP
SIGNIFICANTLY AS PRESIDENT TRUMP
ANNOUNCED A FULL EMBARGO ON THE
SOCIALIST REGIME.
IT'S ALL ABOUT DISPUTED LEADER
NICOLAS MADURO.
IT SEND A MESSAGE, DO BUSINESS
WITH NICOLAS MADURO AND YOU RISK
SANCTIONS ON YOU.
THROUGHOUT THE PAST SIX MONTHS
OPPONENTS OF MADURO HAVE TAKEN
TO THE STREETS OF CARACAS OFTEN
ENGAGING VIOLENTLY WITH SECURITY
FORCES.
THE EMBARGO COMES AFTER
SANCTIONS ON 100 VENEZUELANS AND
ENTITIES.
IT INCLUDES FREEZING ALL
GOVERNMENT INTERESTS AND MONEY
INSIDE THE UNITED STATES.
JOHN BOLTON DETAILED THE
SANCTIONS IN PERU TODAY.
>> WE HAVE TO SEE MADURO MOVED
OUT OF POWER.
THE REGIME'S ISOLATION IS
INCREASING.
THE PEOPLE OF VENEZUELA NEED THE
REGIME TO BE REMOVED AND THE
LEGITIMATE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
GOVERNMENT TO TAKE POWER AND
HOLD ELECTIONS.
>> THEY RECOGNIZE JUAN GUAIDO AS
THE PRESIDENT.
THE MILITARY HAS NOT SIDE WITH
HIM AND IS STILL KEEPING MADURO
IN POWER.
A SENIOR RUSSIAN LAWMAKERS
DENOUNCED THE MOVE CALLING IT
MELDING AND INTERNATIONALLY
DAMAGING.
LIZ: HERE TO REACT, COLONEL
DANIEL DAVIS.
>> I THINK THIS SHOWS WE RELY
TOO MUCH ON SANCTIONS.
WHEN YOU SEE THE SANCTIONS
COMING ON THERE, WHAT YOU DON'T
HEAR IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED
TO ACCOMPLISH.
IF WE THINK THIS WILL DRIVE
MADURO OUT, I THINK WE ARE IN
FOR A BIG DISAPPOINT.
HE OWNS THE MILITARY AND HE HAS
THE BACKING OF RUSSIA.
LIZ: ALL THE STATE GOVERNMENT
OWNED STUFF THAT IT TOOK, STOP
THE PRICE CONTROLS.
I WANT TO MOVE ON TO THIS STORY.
THE UNITED NATIONS OUT WITH A
REPORT.
NORTH KOREA EARNED $2 BILLION
STEALING INSTANCES WHERE NORTH
KOREA STOLE FROM FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS AND CRYPTO CURRENCY
EXCHANGES AROUND THE WORLD.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THIS STORY.
>> NOW THAT WE ARE AWARE OF
THAT, WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN TO SHOULD THIS STUFF OFF.
WHEN ALL YOU DO IS SANCTION AND
PUT PRESSURE ON PEOPLE, THEY
WILL DO WHAT THEY CAN.
LIZ: THAT'S STEALING.
>> YES, IT IS, WITHOUT ANY
QUESTION.
BUT THIS WAYS HAPPENS WHEN THEY
DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER MEANS TO
GET THINGS, THEY START DOING
THINGS ILLEGALLY.
LIZ: IRAN IS IN A BOX IT'S
UNVEILING THREE NEW
PRECISION-GUIDED MISSILES.
IT'S WARNING THE QUOTE MOTHER OF
ALL WARS.
JACK KEANE WAS WITH US ON OUR
SHOW LAST NIGHT.
HERE IS WHAT HE SAYS.
>> EVERYTHING THE IRANIANS HAVE
TRIED HAS BACKFIRED.
WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO IS
PUT PRESSURE ON THE UNITED
STATES TO REMOVE THE SANCTIONS
BECAUSE OF THE CRISIS THEY ARE
TRYING TO CREATE.
THEY ARE MORE ISOLATED
POLITICALLY AND DIPLOMATICALLY.
THE UNITED STATES HAS MORE
PEOPLE WORKING WITH IT THAN WHEN
THIS CRISIS BEGAN.
LIZ: COLONEL, YOUR REACTION?
>> I DON'T THINK THAT'S ENTIRELY
CORRECT.
WE WERE NOT ABLE -- OUR ALLIES
WANTED THOSE THINGS TO COME OFF
AND WE WOULDN'T LET IT.
IT'S NOT THAT IRAN IS FAILING.
WE WANT THIS THING TO BE
RESOLVED.
BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE A DIPLOMATIC
OFFRAMP.
THEN WE RUN THE RISK OF A WAR
