• 0:04
  Speaker 1: The FBI identifying a bat wielding suspect days after an
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: attack on the office of Acting US Attorney for the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: District of New Jersey, Alina Haba. Federal agents offering a
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars reward for the capture of Keith
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Michael Lisa for allegedly trying to confront Haba. Paul Morrow,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: attorney and retired NYPD inspector and Fox News contributor, joins us, Now,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: what should we know about this story?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: So? I think one of the questions people have is
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: how he ultimately gained admittance when he was initially denied
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: admittance because he was carrying a baseball bat, you know
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: what I mean. That's kind of a tell, right, So
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: either he tried a different end and now I know
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: that building, you have to go through a metal detector.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It's like going through the airport, So you have to
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: question yourself, how to yourself, how he managed to get in,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: why they let him in, etcetera. The good news is
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: that he's now identified, they'll get him. They put out
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a twenty five thousand dollars reward, which is smart. You'll
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: save that in police overtime. Sure, so they'll get them
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: soon and we'll find out what his ultimate motivation was here.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: But obviously it's part of a larger trend of political violence. Yeah,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: we are.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Definitely seeing that on the uptech, and that is something
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to be concerned about. We're just really happy that Alina
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is Okay. Let's move to this because the Pentagon is
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: launching Operation Southern Spear, which is of course going against
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: narco terrorists in America's neighborhood and shield us from all
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: these dangerous drugs that are coming forward. Here's President Trump
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: being asked about what he plans to do with this
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Operation Venezuela. I know you can't tell us what your
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: next steps will be, but can you say, have you
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: made up your mind on what you'd like to do
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: for as far as action?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I sort of made up my mind. Yeah, I mean
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I can't tell you what it would be, but I
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: sort of made it. But we made a lot of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: progress with Venezuela in terms of stopping drugs are boring in.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: But we have a Mexico problem, we have a Columbia problem.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: We're doing very well. Drugs coming into our country are
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: greatly slowed.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Paul is really happy to have you today. On the show,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: because very few people in this building know as much
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: about these cartels as you do. People associate you with
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: crime here in New York in the area, but you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: know a lot about this. What do you think about
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: what President Trump is doing? And to also put up
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a map here of the military ships they are in
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: position this ar Mada that's formed. What are your thoughts
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: on what's this operation going to do? So?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Venezuela is a very strategic target for American and I
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: say target cognizantly. As you and I were discussing, Maduro
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: essentially reportedly offered the entire resources of Venezuela to Donald
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Trump to leave them alone, and Trump turned them out.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I would say that's a little bit of a clue
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: as to what Donald Trump's mysterious mindset is here. Right.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: But Venezuela, you have to remember their former vice president,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the guy who ran their oil industry, which is their
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: only industry, has will related a guy named Errickel is Sami.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Now he's reportedly arrested or dead when nobody's clear. Because
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it's Venezuela. My point is that they occupy a really
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: strategic position in Latin America. They have Middle Eastern ties.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: China tized China's big.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: China's big. That's really what's behind the Latin American diplomacy
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you and I talk about all the time. This is
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and they're calling it the don Roe doctrine instead of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the Monroe doctrine. Right, this is Donald Trump reasserting American
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: supremacy over our hemisphere in saying China hands off, I
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: think most importantly here, well, perhaps of a significant importance.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Let me rephrase. Putin and Russia are backing away from this.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: They have their own problems in Ukraine. There are no
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: position to support Venezuela. Maduro is a man who's really
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: hung out there by himself, and I think Donald Trump
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: is looking to us Venezuela as a lynchpin to begin
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to reform Latin America. That's the first step.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, So talk to me about China, because you're right,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Russia has backed off and so he's a lot more isolated.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Is China still protecting Maduro? Is it just in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: form of buying their oil? And how much does oil
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: have to do with this, because it's not just Venezuela.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Right next to Venezuela is Guyanah, which has had the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: largest oil discovery I think in our lifetime.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, the good news here is
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that Guayana is a comparative friend and Diana has not
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: only oil, they have enormous natural resources that's very dense jungle.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: A lot of it hasn't even been explored. Yes, what
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Guyana managed to do is build a road that they've
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: been trying to build for decades that gets into the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: hinterland that it will allow some exploitation of those resources.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: The country needs it. We'd like to buy from them.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So that's the good news. China, however, wants it as well.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump wants China out of the American backyard. China
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: right now, I don't assess has the ability to project
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: power military power the way they would like to hear.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: They're not going to mess around with that kind of stuff.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: We have our carrier group there. It's more economic warfare
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: relative to China. Donald Trump wants to bring a number
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of these countries, a number of which are amenable to
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: coming more into the American sphere economic cooperation, keep China out.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Everybody benefits, And a.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Good example of that was Argentina. Argentina was looking to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: China under Mela. They were starting to get help from
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: them because they needed economic help. President Trump going in
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and saying, no, we'll be the sugar daddy.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Get China out and Panama right because Panama's also hold
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: out of the Belton Road in Michigan.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Weird. And now as you and I talk about we'll
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: be talking more about this. President Steinbaum in Mexico fully
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: exposed for her cartel ties. Now, big riots or I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: should say, demonstrations happening tomorrow or today, tonight and today
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: in Mexico. So we'll see what happens. That the hemisphere is.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: On the move. The hemisphere is on the move. Mexico
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: is a key player those strikes on the boat. So far,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: no Mexicans killed. She doesn't want American intervention militarily on
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the cartels in Mexico. As you say, she's been exposed.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We have big demos coming up, some of them started yesterday.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to see in Latin America and it's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: fun to talk about.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: We got to have you backfall. He is on this beat,
