Once upon a time, Amazon Music met audiobooks and listeners everywhere rejoiced.

Oh yeah.

Because now they could listen to one audiobook title a month from an enormous library of popular

audiobook titles, including Romantasy, autobiographies, true crime, and more.

Suddenly listeners didn't mind sitting in traffic or even missing their

flight. Amazon Music Unlimited now includes Audible. No way. Download the Amazon Music app now to start

listening. Terms apply. I'm John Bachelor with Professor Evan Ellis of the US Army War

But at the same time, Venezuela is a challenge to the United States directly.

We're told it's storytelling, but it makes sense that Venezuela is pleased to drive people out of its country,

knowing that it drains the resources of American cities,

such as New York, to take care of so many hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who are worthy

people. Nobody doubts that. But the dislocation also goes along with drug running and gang warfare and perhaps coordination between Caracas and some of the worst of the gangsters operating in America.

All that story is anecdotal.

The United States has recognized Mr. Gonzalez in exile having fled in Spain as the

President of Venezuela. The inauguration comes in early January, right, before President Trump

is inaugurated. And the last time I checked, Mr. Gonzalez said he was going to return to Venezuela for his

inauguration.

Professor, this looks like trouble, major trouble, purposeful trouble, because the U.S.

is now recognized Mr. Gonzalez as a legitimate president.

What are we going to do about it?
