00:00He effed around and he found out.
00:05U.S. military forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife
00:11during a raid that followed what the president called a large-scale strike in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas.
00:18The United States Armed Forces conducted an extraordinary military operation
00:24and it was an assault like people have not seen since World War II.
00:31President Trump shared this picture of Maduro on social media with the caption,
00:36Nicolas Maduro on board the USS Iwo Jima.
00:39Attorney General Pam Bondi has said that Maduro and Flores have now been indicted in the Southern District of New York
00:44and Maduro is being charged with narco-terrorism conspiracy, among other charges.
00:49In total, more than 150 aircraft, bombers, fighters, intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance, rotary wing were in the air last night.
00:58As the force began to approach Caracas, the joint air component began dismantling and disabling the air defense systems in Venezuela.
01:09These dramatic satellite images provided by Vantor show the damage caused on sites in Caracas during the strikes.
01:16This guy had multiple opportunities to find his way somewhere else and figure out another.
01:21He could have been living somewhere else right now very happy, but instead he wanted to play big boy.
01:25And so now, you know, he's got other sets of problems on his hands.
01:28Perhaps the biggest headline from all of this is what the president said about the immediate future of Venezuela without Maduro.
01:35So we're going to stay until such time as, we're going to run it essentially until such time as a proper transition can take place.
01:42And what to watch from a business perspective is that Venezuela is sitting on over 300 billion barrels of oil.
01:49And what happens to that stockpile could impact global crude oil prices.
01:54Some members of Congress criticized the mission because it did not have congressional approval, something that Secretary Rubio and the president defended.
02:02We called members of Congress immediately after.
02:04This was not the kind of mission that you can do congressional notification on.
02:07It was a trigger-based mission in which conditions had to be met night after night.
02:11We watched and monitored that for a number of days.
02:13So it's just simply not the kind of mission you can call people and say, hey, we may do this at some point in the next 15 days.
02:18Congress has a tendency to leak.
02:21This would not be good.
02:23If they leaked, General, I think it would have been maybe a very different result.
02:26According to the president, he recently spoke with Maduro and gave him a chance to surrender.
02:31What did you last speak to Maduro about when you spoke?
02:34Well, I don't want to get into the conversations, but I did have conversations with him.
02:38And I said, you got to surrender.
02:44And I actually thought he was pretty close to doing so, but now he wished he did.
02:49Yeah.
02:49Nicolas Maduro had his chance, just like Iran had their chance.
02:55Until they didn't and until he didn't.
02:58He effed around and he found out.
03:01No sé si fue un barco.
03:06No sé si fue un barco.
