Summary

Did President Trump’s administration violate international law in its handling of the capture of Nicolás Maduro? Some argue the attack on Maduro serves as a warning from President Trump to other countries that might attempt to threaten the United States with drugs or other criminal activities. Maduro’s next court date is scheduled for March 17, 2026. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. Who is leading the Democratic Party in 2026? Is it Minority Leader Chuck Schumer? For Bill, Nicolás Maduro’s capture wasn’t a huge deal, but he enjoyed watching CNN’s reaction to the U.S. military’s actions against Venezuela and its president. The so-called “Fake News” outlets-such as MSNOW, CNN, and others- continue to emphasize that if Lawyer George Conway wins, President Trump may face significant challenges and opposition from Conway. Additionally, many celebrities were reportedly stranded in South America during the Maduro raid while trying to return to the United States. Mark interviews Fox News Legal Analyst Gregg Jarrett. Former President Biden allegedly offered a substantial reward, around $25 million, for the capture of Maduro. Could Secretary of War Pete Hegseth be a contender for this operation? Gregg explains the legal aspects of Nicolás Maduro’s indictment by the U.S., clarifying that the military’s actions did not violate international law, despite claims from some media outlets.
