Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Aizond Geopolitics.

0:04.3

I'm joined today with J.T. Patton and Jack Murphy, our dear leader.

0:08.7

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and is excited for New Year's.

0:13.1

This one's going to be about Venezuela and what's going down there.

0:17.3

I mean, we just found out, you know, it just was confirmed and posted yesterday that there

0:21.5

was a drone strike.

0:23.7

I want to say it was a port exactly.

I think even some I read something the other day there was an interview by Marshall Billingsley, who's dealing with the Treasury right now. I remember in like 2010 Marshall had my report actually.
