Summary

In this episode, we analyze the dramatic events surrounding the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro by U.S. Delta forces, marking a significant shift in the political landscape of Venezuela. John Solomon discusses the implications of Maduro's arrest, including the swift rise of Delsey Rodriguez as the new leader and her unexpected conciliatory stance towards the United States. The episode delves into Maduro's history as a drug kingpin and the impact of his regime on U.S. drug trafficking. We also explore the broader geopolitical ramifications of U.S. military action in Venezuela, including the destruction of an Iranian airbase linked to drone operations threatening U.S. interests. Joining John are Congressman Nathaniel Moran, who provides insights on Venezuela, and Fred Fleitz, former chief of staff to the National Security Council, who discusses the nexus between Venezuela and Iran. Additionally, investigative journalist Paul Thacker sheds light on the concerning overhead costs associated with university research funding, highlighting the financial burden on American taxpayers.
