Hello, this is your Congressman, ███████████. I'm calling to invite you to join my telephone town hall beginning shortly. You can ask questions by pressing Star three at any time during the call. The call will begin soon. Please stay on the line. If you have any questions about this event, please call my office at ████████. If you no longer wish to receive these calls, press 9 now. Please hold while we connect you to your Access Live event. This Access Live event is currently in progress. Please note this call may be monitored, recorded, or rebroadcast. If you would like to ask a question during Today's event, press Star 3 on your telephone keypad at any time. Yes, ██████, but could we have a Venezuelan question? We're still waiting for some people to enter their questions. But also, Congressman █████, if you would like to do a top line update on your thoughts on Venezuela real quick for any of the folks who maybe joined us toward the end of your introduction, I think that would be helpful. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm conscious that people join sequentially. I don't want to repeat the full six minutes I did. So I'll just very quickly summarize what I said at the top of the call, which is, again, this is ███████████'s call. So I'm going to try to just give you the facts. You know, number one, shockingly, almost perfect performance by the US Military. Not a surprise. These are the best of the best. The question, of course, when we do this, and we did it in ████, ███████████ and in █████, is what happens the next day. We're very, very good at taking out bad guys. What we're not quite so good at. And there's sort of not many historical examples that suggest that we are, is the nation building part of this, the restoration of democracy, if you will. Point two. And this is really important for members of Congress and frankly for Americans, because we abide by the Constitution. This action was taken not just without consultation or approval by the Congress, in my opinion. It was taken with a little bit of dishonesty from senior members of the █████ administration who told me in three separate meetings that this sort of mission was not planned. And that's a huge problem. And I'll just sort of close with that sentence. I understand why people get excited when a really bad guy like ██████ goes away. And I don't blame anybody who is celebrating in █████ or anywhere else, because ██████ was a very bad guy. And I don't blame anybody who's enormously proud of our military. You should be. But and here's where there's a little bit of a █████████ editorial. We really need to ask ourselves whether we want to pay for and assume the risk associated with continuing this behavior of nation building in places like ████, █████ and ███████████ and now maybe █████████, without consultation with the Congress. We are, at the end of the day, the representative representatives of the people. And so, as a result of the.
