Short vid/Transcript

"Today is Wednesday, December 17th, and tonight at 900 p.m., President Donald Trump is scheduled to
address the nation. Trump announced this on X yesterday, talking about how it's been a great
year for our country and the best is yet to come.

He did not have a corresponding announcement on Truth Social, but did have a rather lengthy statement about Venezuela that was clearly threatening the country, but he also made a strange reference to how oil, land, and other must be returned to the United States."

"In addition to Trump's threatening post on Truth Social yesterday, in which he said that Venezuela's oil belongs to us, we also had the very likable and charismatic Steven Miller echoing that claim.

Miller said, "American sweat, ingenuity, and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property. These pillaged assets were then used to fund terrorism and flood our streets with killers, mercenaries, and drugs."

It is statements like these that lead some people to speculate that Trump is going to announce that America is going to war against Venezuela."

''

"And even Tucker Carlson made a statement that he was told by a congressman that war is coming. Here's what he said.

"I don't know answer. I've certainly been on the phone a lot about it. I have no power. I'm a podcaster, but I'm very interested. Um, and so here's what I know so far, which is that members of Congress were briefed yesterday that a war is coming and it'll be announced in the address
to the nation tonight at 9:00 by the president. So, that is where we stand right now."

Huh.
