Venezuela, okay? Trump escalates pressure on Venezuela, but endgame is unclear. If you go on

0:08.4

Marco Rubio's tweet, Rob, if you don't mind, this is where Marco Rubio suddenly the U.S.

0:14.4

decides to put Venezuela on Maduro on a list. And what kind of a list is this? Not just any list. And when you

0:23.7

see a list like this, what does it make you think about? Watch this. State Department intends to

0:30.1

designate Cartel Los Solas as a foreign terrorist organization, FTO, headed by illegitimate Nicolas Maduro,

0:40.3

the group has corrupted the institutions of government in Venezuela

0:43.7

and is responsible for terrorist violence conducted by and with other designated FTOs,

0:51.2

as well as for trafficking drugs into the U.S. and to Europe when you do

0:57.1

something like that, Tom. If the average person was to read that, can you interpret what that

1:02.3

really means? To me, it only means one thing, but what does it mean to you? Well, a week ago, Maduro was

1:07.3

saying, can you please remove the bounty on me? And there were rumors that unsubstantiated

1:13.3

as to how many things he said. But apparently a week ago, he was trying to negotiate

1:18.5

backdoor with the U.S. government to, you know, remove the bounty and to figure something out, right?

1:25.6

What this means is, dude, did they just double the bounty and they're doubling down on the language on the bounty? I mean, if you're Maduro, I mean, don't go on a, don't, you know, you're going to go on a fishing boat in the middle of a lake. You might get hit. Yeah. So it's like, be careful where you do.. It's a bad time for him to go fishing. Bad time to be on a boat in your driveway. Are you kidding? Let me, if I read that, if you're designating them as terrorists and he's the head of it, you're a terrorist leader. But what does that mean? That means that we could go and attack on the land as well. We don't have to worry. Yeah, exactly. Wherever they are, we're going to send missiles. That means if a tomahawk lands in your oatmeal, you know, that there's, you know, nothing you can do about it. Which means Marco Rubio and Trump could have followed up with a t-shirt with the White house logo on it saying Fafo, right? And my dude was a picture on it, right? And that would have been, that would have sold well. Can I give you a question from someone that's not, like, I haven't been following this much. I just, I just see the bombing of the boats. And I see the outraged people like, like Charlemagne the God was like, they could be fishermen, whatever.

2:34.8

He didn't say that. He said that. He said that good. I just love that podcast. Well, you know, it's really funny about that. In the late 80s, you know what they used to call the marijuana that would wash up in Florida? Square groupers. Oh, that's hilarious. So maybe he was out, Charlamans out there fishing for square group.

2:51.6

Yeah.

2:52.1

Like so,

2:52.6

so here's my question.

2:54.1

Why,

2:54.4

it,

2:54.6

it, groupers. Oh, that's hilarious. So maybe he was out, Charlemagne's out there fishing for square groupers. Yeah. So here's my question. Is America getting involved? I mean, if you look at the surface, okay, they're sending boats, Maduro. Are they trying, I've heard some people saying that they're trying to, because the CIA's done this before, get rid of a leader and put somebody that we want in there. And my question is, why would they want to do that? What does Venezuela have that we want? Can you see board CIA agents at Starbucks this morning? Hey, man, you see they got the bounty on his head? He says, yeah, yeah, but you see what the president did over the weekend? Yeah, we're in. Yeah, we got it. What's this?

3:24.6

We can go out.
