War Sec. Hegseth states the President is “Not Messing Around” and “Nothing is Off the Table” as Venezuela President faces a Critical Nov. 24th Date
SAN DIEGO, CA, November 20, 2025 — One America News is pleased to announce that its Pentagon Correspondent, Alexandra Ingersoll, concluded a sit-down interview with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The exclusive sit-down interview took place inside the Pentagon and will air tonight at 5 pm EST, 7 pm EST, and 11 pm EST during OAN’s evening news programs. Encore airings will be made available this weekend.
Ingersoll led the interview asking about the kinetic strikes on at least twenty-one fast boats in the now unclassified operation known as “Southern Spear”. The Secretary of War states, “We know exactly who we are targeting, why we are targeting them, what the are carrying. The United States can track and hunt cells and narco-terrorists better than any country in the world.” Ingersoll then delved into a more lengthy discussion on possible military actions against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Hegseth states that designating the Maduro regime as a terrorist organization effective Monday, November 24th, “brings a whole bunch of new options to the United States.” Hegseth states Maduro is “not a legitimately elected leader of Venezuela”, he lied to the previous administration about leaving office. “He’s involved in trafficking and he’s indicted”. “It gives more tools to our Department to give options to the President.”
Ingersoll states, “It was an honor to interview Secretary of War Hegseth at this key juncture. The U.S. has recently deployed a tremendous amount of military assets to the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Venezuela, including our country’s largest and newest aircraft carrier – the USS Gerald R. Ford. With Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro’s Cartel de los Soles set to become a Designated Terrorist Organization this coming Monday, November 24, Hegseth makes it clear that President Trump is “not messing around” and that “nothing is off the table” for what comes next.”
