Hi everybody. Tom Woods here. It's episode 2726 of the Tom Wood Show. The great Doug Casey is with us here.

0:24.4

Doug, you know perhaps from international man.com, from his podcast with Matt Smith. It is Matt Smith, isn't it?

0:31.6

Yes, it is indeed. And it's called Doug Casey's take. But you may also know him as the author of a great many books, as an international

0:39.7

investor. He's traveled and lived all over the place. And I figure, you know, I could do a lot worse than

0:47.2

1:46.3

intervention. But in this case, the people are just so happy that Maduro was gone. I mean,

2:02.7
