So 45 minutes. All the members of Congress are going to meet in the CBC auditorium and all the administration officials are going to brief them on this issue. The US Military operation in Venezuela was decisive and justified. Nicolas Maduro was responsible for the deaths of Americans after years of trafficking illegal drugs and violent cartel members into this country. And this is undisputed and everybody knows it. These are crimes for which he's been properly indicted in a US Court and an arrest warrant was duly issued. (42:04–42:15)
