Well, listen, first of all, let me be clear. We are not at war with Venezuela. Yeah. This is not a forever war. It's not even a war. This was a military operation to execute an arrest warrant. It was the military supporting the FBI and arresting indicted narco terrorists. And it took a couple of hours and was over. They went in, they got them and they left. That was the conclusion of the military conflict. It's not a war. (32:22–32:32)
