Hey, everyone. It's me, Sam Stein, managing editor at the book. I'm joined by Sunny Bunch, and we're here to talk about the Nobel Peace Prize, which has exchanged hands this afternoon officially. The reason we're bringing Sunny to talk about it is that, unbeknownst a lot of people here, Sunny actually received a Nobel once upon a time.

That was four. What was, What land did you bring to?

People don't know that about me.

Yeah, that's for another podcast.

So, backstory here is the actual recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, the Venezuela

opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. She was in Washington, D.C. today. She was in D.C. because

her country, if you haven't been aware, is undergoing a bit of turmoil. Donald Trump removed

the leader of it. What happened? Yeah.

It was on a Saturday. We all woke up, you might have missed it. It happened and we seem to have moved on. And she's here in D.C. to sort of, you know, make the case that they should practice

democracy in Venezuela and let people vote. And she's experiencing a bit of a rough reception from the White House,

which has no inclination to try to, like, you know, help her out and become the leader of her

country at all. So what did she do? She today presented Donald Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize

because Donald Trump covets the Nobel Peace Prize and he accepted it.

So let's watch the video of her explaining what she did today.

And then, Sonny, I get your reaction on the end of it.

Maria, did you offer to President Trump your Nobel Peace Prize?
