SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Knowing the president as well as we do, I would -- and him having had conversations with the oil industries and the oil companies that, I guess, maybe had written this off as a loss, I would imagine they're going to recoup their losses. And once they start updating and producing oil at the level that they're going to be capable of, that's not only going to benefit American oil companies, but the people of Venezuela and probably even the US government in a lot of ways as well. And it will lower the price of oil in global markets, won't it?

GREGG JARRETT (GUEST): Oh, it absolutely will. So, everybody wins, particularly the Venezuelan people who 80% live in poverty because Maduro took whatever oil and drug funds and absconded with it. He looted the government. And, you know, the poor people of Venezuela got poorer and poorer. Now, they now have potentially a bright future.
