which is worrying, which is worrying largely because, I mean, aside from the fact that people were shot, it's worrying, but it's winter.

Throughout my career, we've not seen organized protests at this scale during winter.

And it's the activists make fun of each other over this that when it rains or

snows, it's hard to get people to come out and join a protest. But now we're actually seeing in

Minneapolis an occupation is forming barriers are being set up. And we're seeing protest pop up

across the country with quite a bit of alarming rhetoric. I would say talks of hanging Christy

Gnome and people heard screaming, we're going to find you and kill you. So we're going to have a debate about this. We're going to ask these questions, play these videos, and go over exactly what's going on. And of course, within this, the funny thing is we actually plan this debate out to discuss the capture of Maduro in Venezuela. Now Trump is saying we're going to have ground strikes in Mexico and the U.S.

is currently chasing a dozen oil tankers from Venezuela after seizing a Russian flagged vessel.

All of this somehow does overlap, especially with the fraud scandal in Minnesota, Minneapolis,

the reporting, how it ultimately leads to the protests and the violence that we're seeing. So we'll talk about all of that. We've got a great panel, sir. Would you like to introduce yourself first? Yes, I'm Daniel D. Martino. I'm originally from Venezuela. That's part of my relevant experience in this topic. I'm an economist. I'm a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and I live in New York City. Right on. Would you like to introduce yourself, ma'am? Hi, my name's Aaron. I go by Straight Rate Online, and I cover politics to commentary on current events and whatnot. Hey, Tim. I'm Dave Aaronberg, former state attorney for Palm Beach County. I'm current managing partner, Dave Aaronberg, law, substack at Dave Aaronberg. And it's my second time on your show. Great to be back.

Yes. So you said you were a state prosecutor. I was the DA in Palm Beach County. You were the

DA. Have you seen the video footage of the Minneapolis shooting? I have. I've seen the different

angles. This is something up my alley because when you're the DA, this is an

area where you're hands on. You go to the scene of an officer involved shooting and you investigate

the police to make sure there was no crime committed. So, well, what's your assessment based on what

you've seen? I think it'll be difficult to get a conviction if a case is broad, but I do think there's enough there to send to a grand jury for a possible state indictment.

The feds are not going to cooperate, which makes this very unusual.

Normally, the feds work with you.

Here they're going to try to work against the state.

But the state can, if they want to to seek an indictment, if there's

enough evidence, and if they get it to trial, I think it's going to be an uphill climb for

prosecutors. That's different than the question of whether he should have shot. I'm talking
