All right, just a little excitement with the connection should be all fixed for now.

So that was the intro.

I do want to talk a little bit about just the facts of what has happened in the bombing and invasion of Afghanistan, of Venezuela, the abduction of Nicholas Maduro back to New York.

Because I do think that there are several things that have to be noted about this.

And on Saturday morning, when I woke up and heard the news, and of course, it was building,

we had done a lot of shows about Venezuela, about the case for regime change of

Venezuela that was being made by the Trump administration, the reasons why the pretext being offered,

oh, this is about drug smuggling, or to free the peoples of Venezuela, made absolutely no sense.

We're just simply unsupported based on the facts that were being offered.

We've done a lot of shows on it, so it was hardly a surprise.

I did about a 20 to 25 minute analysis on Saturday morning that we put on YouTube

where we broadcast it quickly there.

But I'm not going to repeat all that.

So if you haven't seen that and you want to go watch that, you can go and do so.

I do think it's very important to note that this is a war.

And again, I gave the reasons why I call it a war. If you don't want to call it a war, it's fine. Ultimately, it's a semantic point. What I mean is the sending of our military for months as a buildup, the bombing off the coast of Venezuela, I love the CIA authorization authorized CIA covert regime change and instability,

operation, the abduction of their country's leader, the killing of his presidential guard,

the killing of dozens of innocent Venezuelans throughout Caracas with our bombing campaign,

the declaration by President Trump that we are now governing and ruling Venezuela.

When I say war, that's just a shorthand for

that. You can call it whatever you want, special military operation. I really don't know what else to

call it. The reason why this is such an odd conflict is because we just had a presidential election
