Hello everybody and thank you for tuning into the Liberty Report.

With us today, we have Daniel McAdams, our co-host.

Daniel, good to see you this morning.

Good morning, Dr. Paul.

How are you this morning?

Doing well, doing well.

We have a couple problems left.

We always seem to have a problem or two that we can at least discuss.

And I want to start off with Venezuela. You know,

it's in the news. I imagine you've noticed that. Absolutely. Venezuela is in the news. And Trump is,

it's in his news too. And he wants to, you know, take care of these problems down there. So the headline in Zero Hedge

today is Trump orders full blockade of sanctioned oil tankers off terrorists Venezuela. Oh,

well, they're terrorists. That's the reaction. Maybe a lot of American people will want to stop the terrorists and terrorists may come to this country.

Oh, no, they're already sending them.

All our crimes are created by people sent in, which is a problem.

I don't want to belittle that because that is a mess.

But I think the criminal problem that this country originally was intended to be a state

matter and local matter and a Second Amendment matter, taking care of people who were going around

and causing a lot of trouble. But this was an announcement yesterday. It was a big deal. And Trump said

that we were going to really crack down on all this oil

going in and out and to penalize Venezuela. And all I could think of on this horrendous blockade

and trying to, you know, further injure everything that's going on in Venezuela is that when the United States stopped the oil going into Japan prior to World War II, guess what?
