In two and a half minutes, Hegseth laid out exactly what this operation to take out Maduro means to America.
HEGSETH: “Finally, a commander in chief the world respects, and the American people deserve.”
“A massive joint military and law enforcement raid flawlessly executed by the greatest Americans our country has to offer.”
“American warriors are second to none. The best in the world and the best of our country. What I, what all of us witnessed last night was sheer guts and grit, gallantry and glory of the American warrior.”
“Our warriors are the elite of America, and again, President Trump has your back.”
“No other country on planet Earth, and it’s not even close, could pull this kind of operation off. And no other president has ever shown this kind of leadership, courage and resolve.”
“Nicolas Maduro had his chance. Just like Iran had their chance. Until they didn’t…he effed around and he found out.”

“Welcome to 2026. And under President Trump, America is back.”
