MATT WALSH (HOST) Then in the new year, we saw exactly what the federal government can achieve when it decides, contrary to the advice of experts and the norms that are supposedly so sacrosanct, to actually take decisive action for the benefit of American citizens.
It turns out that, indeed, the US government is capable of using its overwhelming power within our own hemisphere to advance our interests in a direct and tangible way. There's nothing that stands in our way. There's no military or militia that's powerful enough to stop us. There's no international law that holds us back because international law is fake. You know, the only laws that exist are rules that are written and codified by and enforced by a legitimate governing authority and enforced with violence if necessary. That's it. Those are the only laws. That's what a law is by definition, and everything else is just a suggestion.
That's why Donald Trump invoked the Monroe doctrine or the Don-roe doctrine as he called it at at his press conference after the US attack on Venezuela. It's also why Trump invoked manifest destiny during his inaugural address last year.
This administration understands that America first means that America should rule over the Western hemisphere and use its power to advance the interests of our people. We have the power to do that, and so we should.
We're not beholden to the approval of the United Nations or to the Somalis in Minnesota or to any other group that would happily eradicate all white people from the planet if they ever gained any kind of military superiority whatsoever. We're also not beholden to precedent. We don't have to let our military go to waste idling and hangars and bases all over the world because of the failures of past wars.
