NBC Tries to Corner Rubio by Asking Why US Needs Venezuela’s Oil—His Answer Rips All the ‘Clowns’ Who Think They’re Experts on Venezuela! (Video)
You know that moment when a leftist host thinks she’s got a gotcha question, only for the Trump appointee to flip the script and school her on reality? That’s exactly what happened on NBC’s Meet the Press when Kristen Welker tried to pin down Secretary of State Marco Rubio on why the U.S. “needs” Venezuela’s oil after the bold capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro. Welker leaned in: “Why does the United States need to take over Venezuela’s oil?” Rubio didn’t miss a beat, firing back: “We don’t need Venezuela’s oil. What we’re not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States.” He slammed the “clowns” pretending to be experts, declaring, “China is not even in this continent… this is the western hemisphere, this is where we live.” Then the hammer: “Why does CHINA need their oil? Russia? Iran? They are NOT going to come from outside of our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard and us have to pay the price for it. Not under President Trump!” “This is deeply destabilizing stuff. It’s not going to continue to happen!”

Rubio’s riposte exposes the left’s hypocrisy—they whine about “imperialism” while ignoring how China, Russia, and Iran loot Venezuela’s reserves, turning it into a narco-state threat right in our backyard. Trump’s Maduro takedown, a one-hour op with no U.S. casualties, is America First at its best—ending hybrid warfare without endless boots on the ground. Maduro’s cartel cash fueled election meddling via Smartmatic-Dominion links; now it’s dismantled.
Dems like Welker cry foul, but Rubio’s clear: this hemisphere is ours to secure. The clowns thinking otherwise? They’re the real threat. Trump’s team delivers; the left deflects. Midterms loom—vote to keep the wins rolling.
