| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
| 0:06.0 | So today, we're going to talk about Trump threatening Exxon with a good time. |
| 0:12.7 | Trump is apparently still pretty upset about how oil companies responded to his concepts of a plan for Venezuela. |
| 0:24.6 | While on Air Force One, Trump said, quote, I'd probably be inclined to keep Exxon out. |
| 0:28.6 | I didn't like their response. They're playing too cute. |
| 0:32.6 | Trump's going to exclude Exxon from Venezuela. |
| 0:38.7 | Reminder, Exxon's CEO, Darren Wood, made it pretty clear he didn't want the company getting |
| 0:44.9 | wrapped up in the giant mess Trump created. |

| 1:38.6 | Trump trying desperately to frame the Maduro snatch as some kind of major strategic win. Nothing has fundamentally changed |
| 1:47.2 | in the country's landscape. The whole military operation and all the risks it incurred |
| 1:54.0 | didn't actually alter any oil production math, because literally nothing structurally changed. Trump once again showing |
| 2:03.6 | how oblivious he is to the actual concerns said that previous problems in the country for |
| 2:09.6 | U.S. oil only existed, quote, because they didn't have Trump as a president. They had stupid people. |
| 2:19.7 | Redeem your lab bucks on free bet spins or even cash in for real money. |
