Welcome to the show this week, everybody. Before we really get into the nitty gritty,

well, we're joined by Alexander Avina, a long-time returning guest, who we wanted to have on to talk about Venezuela, Cuba, everything that's happening in the world.

But then obviously the events of yesterday, January 7th, took place.

So, like, we're going to be talking about that.

But before we get into any of that, I wanted to run this post by you from Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

I don't know if y'all saw this. What is this? What is up with this post he made where it's like a tiger and an eagle like hugging?

It's obviously AI, AI made, but it's like among the things we discussed, President Trump and I was the disagreement we had regarding his vision of the relationship between the U.S. and Latin America, that he goes on to talk about global peace and democracy and whatnot. But what is Petro's deal, man? Like, half the time I'm like, this guy's based, he's like, you know, this is great, Beast Mode, and then the other half-point. He did the killer mic thing where he raps like he's like you know this is great uh beast mode and then the other

he did the killer mic thing where he raps like he's you know yeah it is one way and then he gets

on the news and cnman talks about the cops that's a good comparison his daddy cop yeah that's weird

i don't know man he's with him right i think the weird thing is i think he's

pretty safe right because there's presidential elections in columbia next year um so i think obviously

we can talk about this columbia is is on the hit list uh but again there's presidential elections

next year and i think historically the u.s has tried to do regime change on the cheap,

right? So with, you know, covert, you know, myriad covert ways to kind of influence electoral

processes in Latin America. I don't know because, yeah, he, I still, I cite this a lot. And I'm

pretty sure I've cited this on on times that you guys have had me on previously.

The speech it gave a cop 28 where he's linking Gaza to like climate change and migration like

hits so so hard. But then he does post like this with an AI eagle and an AI jaguar kind of like

their heads leaning toward one another. He's talking he talked aboutS. being ruled by a clan of pedophiles, right?

Which is like, yes, of course.

Right.
