Louder with Crowder - Venezuela: Everything They Are Telling You is Bullsh*t

00:00:52.000 Okay, here we go.

00:01:04.000 Oh yeah!

00:02:23.000 Take tick, kick, dick, kick, dick, take you. 1.00

00:02:26.000 Take tick, kick, dick, kick, dick, take you. 1.00

00:02:30.000 Welcome to

00:03:05.000 The Lineup Live on Rumble, 9am to 7pm.

00:03:09.000 You don't need to change that dial and some new things to come in the new year.

00:03:12.000 We're back.

00:03:13.000 Happy to be here.

00:03:14.000 You know what?

00:03:14.000 So tell everybody, because the algorithms, of course, tell you that we're dead if you are gone between Christmas and New Year's.

00:03:21.000 But a lot of stuff was happening.

00:03:22.000 I tell you, it's not everyone who's fortunate enough to work at a job where we enjoyed it.

00:03:26.000 You know, it's with my family going, ah, I wish we were doing the show because we could talk about this and probably anger quite a few people, especially as it relates to bring it up, tool man, Venezuela. 0.98

00:03:36.000 Obviously, that's the big story.

00:03:38.000 All you black pill libertarians, we used to refer to you as get out. 1.00

00:03:44.000 I don't know about you.

00:03:45.000 Like, look, I understand that we need to have discussion.

00:03:47.000 I understand the idea of regime change, all of that, but to compare everything to Iraq is asinine.

00:03:53.000 Can we at least all find some common ground that I'm glad the USA is, I mean, we're back to killing commies again. 1.00

00:04:01.000 That's you can go back to me in 2008 with a blue bed sheet on YouTube.

00:04:06.000 Killing commies was like at the top of my list of most favorite things to do, at least top three. 1.00

00:04:14.000 So there are winners, there are losers, and there are a lot of facets here that people aren't really discussing.

00:04:20.000 And there's a lot of fake news.

00:04:21.000 We're going to get into that, which also leads us to, we have a time to close for Maduro as well as Tim Walz.

00:04:27.000 And since we've been on, last time was the first time I think we didn't do it on break.

00:04:31.000 I think it's the 10th installment of I've been requested to do the we didn't start the Billy Joel thing.

00:04:38.000 And I don't, I mean, my heart's just, but we have to do it.

00:04:43.000 I guess it's tradition.

00:04:46.000 All right, here's here's what we missed.

00:04:48.000 And I, it was, it was tired when we started it.

00:04:55.000 No nation in the world could achieve what America achieved.

00:04:59.000 We're now seeing Nicholas Maduro.

00:05:01.000 Where are the kids?

00:05:02.000 Where's anybody?

00:05:03.000 The U.S. launching this massive military strike against dozens of ISIS targets in central Syria.

00:05:08.000 Epstein files were released.

00:05:10.000 Bill Clinton is still a creek.

00:05:12.000 Patriot or Hunger Gates.

00:05:15.000 Trump announced the golden fleet.

00:05:17.000 Brownshooter was Portuguese. 0.64

00:05:18.000 ISIS strikes in Syria.

00:05:42.000 Thank you very much.

00:05:46.000 The Liberal Satis.

00:05:48.000 We're back now and getting louder.

00:05:51.000 No, we didn't start it, but the final article.

00:05:55.000 Hoover building left by Bureau.

00:06:04.000 Timboles dropped out of the race.

00:06:06.000 Why Stranger Things?

00:06:07.000 So fucking gay. 1.00

00:06:10.000 It's so gay. 1.00

00:06:13.000 Is that it?

00:06:16.000 That's what happens in Stranger Things.

00:06:19.000 I watched the first episode and I said, watch, they're going to make that kid gay. 1.00

00:06:24.000 And my lady said, no, no, I don't.

00:06:27.000 I said, not only is he going to be gay, because first off, he's gay in real life, and you now have the ugliest child actor ever. 0.98

00:06:32.000 So they're going to have to incorporate it.

00:06:34.000 Yeah.

00:06:34.000 I said, I bet you it's going to be central to the storyline where you're going to save the world with gayness.

00:06:40.000 And she fell asleep.

00:06:42.000 I was like, see, huh?

00:06:43.000 Can only beat Vecna through fatry. 0.95

00:06:46.000 Yeah.

00:06:47.000 Yeah.

00:06:48.000 Right, but you didn't even flip the table over.

00:06:50.000 You're supposed to part of the song.

00:06:52.000 I just, I, my heart's not.

00:06:53.000 I mean, I just can't get off the stranger things.

00:06:57.000 It's so bad.

00:07:00.000 Yeah, it was pretty bad.

00:07:00.000 Yeah.

00:07:02.000 They defeat the guy with the gay powers. 1.00

00:07:02.000 Gay. 1.00

00:07:05.000 Yeah.

00:07:06.000 With the bowl cut.

00:07:09.000 Yeah.

00:07:09.000 Yeah, the kid.

00:07:10.000 That's why, because he's gay in real life.

00:07:12.000 Yeah.

00:07:13.000 Because of the bowl.

00:07:16.000 So what do we do here?

00:07:20.000 What you flip that table over.

00:07:22.000 Yeah, flip that table over. 1.00

00:07:30.000 We're back.

00:07:31.000 Okay.

00:07:32.000 I'm going to go.

00:07:33.000 We can do it.

00:07:34.000 We can write a better Stranger Things.

00:07:36.000 No, we're back, dude.

00:07:50.000 We were on hiatus and the Lara's fatus.

00:07:53.000 We're back now and getting louder.

00:08:32.000 Hey, Josh, what are you doing?

00:08:34.000 Trying to work on an American financing bid.

00:08:36.000 I haven't had any luck finding anything.

00:08:38.000 We got to do two a week.

00:08:40.000 And why are you making a sound?

00:08:41.000 It's a cyber truck.

00:08:42.000 It's electric.

00:08:42.000 Doesn't make that's your point.

00:08:44.000 That's a good point.

00:08:44.000 Two a week?

00:08:45.000 That's insane.

00:08:46.000 Yeah, you got any ideas?

00:08:49.000 I'm full of ideas.

00:08:50.000 I'm like a tuxedo.

00:08:52.000 You ring a tuxedo and you sing a song.

00:08:54.000 Did it?

00:08:55.000 That's right, we did do that.

00:08:56.000 How about okay, a bad loan shark who's giving out bad loans?

00:09:00.000 Did that.

00:09:01.000 Okay.

00:09:02.000 Okay.

00:09:03.000 What if there's like a ghost of bad loans past, kind of like a Dickens sort of thing?

00:09:09.000 Yeah, we did that.

00:09:10.000 No, we did that?

00:09:11.000 Yeah.

00:09:12.000 Yeah, you loved it.

00:09:13.000 I remember.

00:09:14.000 I definitely didn't love it if we needed.

00:09:15.000 Yeah, no, you said I was Dickens reincarnated.

00:09:18.000 No, most of it must have been forgettable.

00:09:20.000 American Financing.

00:09:22.000 Okay, what do they do?

00:09:23.000 They save customers an average of $800 a month.

00:09:25.000 That's good.

00:09:26.000 What else?

00:09:27.000 No upfront costs, no hidden fees.

00:09:29.000 That's good.

00:09:30.000 Okay, what else?

00:09:30.000 What do we got?

00:09:31.000 They'll even let borrowers delay up to two mortgage payments.

00:09:34.000 Two mortgage payments?

00:09:35.000 Yeah.

00:09:36.000 That's actually pretty incredible.

00:09:37.000 Yeah.

00:09:38.000 But what's funny about it?

00:09:40.000 Nothing.

00:09:42.000 It's just good business.

00:09:47.000 NMLS was NMLS 1-82334.

00:09:52.000 Call the pros at American Financing Today at 1-800-974-6500 or visit www.americanfinancing.net slash crowder.

00:10:44.000 Oh, glad to be with you.

00:10:45.000 And my headphones were set to.

00:10:47.000 Can we set a notch there, Toolman, so I don't lose my hearing when I come back after a break?

00:10:51.000 Yes.

00:10:52.000 It was very rare.

00:10:53.000 We just don't on purpose.

00:10:54.000 Yeah, okay.

00:10:56.000 Remember when we had a sound person who was deaf and I only found out afterwards?

00:10:59.000 What?

00:11:00.000 Oh, my God.

00:11:00.000 Well, not quite all the way deaf.

00:11:02.000 I told the story before.

00:11:03.000 How did you not know?

00:11:03.000 You're like, hey, David, I got the dick bitch.

00:11:06.000 And I felt too bad.

00:11:07.000 I felt too bad firing this person after I knew they were deaf. 1.00

00:11:10.000 And then the Hodge twins helped me out.

00:11:12.000 I'll tell the story.

00:11:13.000 Definitely.

00:11:13.000 Remind me on Mog Club slash Rumble Premium if you guys want to.

00:11:16.000 Hey, question of the day.

00:11:19.000 How was your Christmas?

00:11:20.000 If you celebrate Hanukkah, okay, fine. 0.82

00:11:21.000 You're allowed as well.

00:11:22.000 But let's be honest.

00:11:23.000 It's Christmas.

00:11:24.000 Kwanzaa's not a real thing.

00:11:25.000 And what story did you wish we were with you most?

00:11:29.000 Like which story were you like, ah, I wish.

00:11:31.000 I know that sounds arrogant, but you know, we get to live through this with you.

00:11:34.000 And I know that some of you felt that way.

00:11:36.000 So let us know for those of you who are wondering.

00:11:38.000 Yep.

00:11:38.000 We're back.

00:11:39.000 Live show weekdays, 11 a.m. Eastern.

00:11:41.000 Captain Morgan, CEO.

00:11:43.000 Well, how are you?

00:11:43.000 How are you?

00:11:44.000 I'm good.

00:11:45.000 You're good?

00:11:46.000 Your lighting looks a little bit dark.

00:11:48.000 Is it dark?

00:11:49.000 It's just your soul.

00:11:50.000 Yeah, it could be your shirt.

00:11:52.000 It could be your shirt.

00:11:53.000 Your shirt's a little dark.

00:11:55.000 Okay, well, fine.

00:11:55.000 Yeah.

00:11:57.000 I have a dark shirt.

00:11:58.000 What's the problem?

00:11:59.000 Admonish Gerald's toolman.

00:12:00.000 No, I don't.

00:12:01.000 Yeah.

00:12:02.000 You're not wearing the shirt and admonishing it because he didn't get the hint.

00:12:05.000 I understand what you're saying, but why are you admonishing me again?

00:12:08.000 Because you're not wearing the shirt.

00:12:10.000 You gotta wear the shit.

00:12:10.000 The new shirt, crowdershop.com.

00:12:12.000 Put it up.

00:12:13.000 Put it up.

00:12:14.000 Yeah, that's the new shirt available at crowdershop.com.

00:12:14.000 Show it.

00:12:16.000 There you go.

00:12:17.000 There you go.

00:12:17.000 So it's permanent.

00:12:18.000 It's pointing it.

00:12:19.000 You could take Gerald everywhere you go with you, and he'll be wrong everywhere.

00:12:22.000 That shit.

00:12:23.000 That shirt will put you away.

00:12:24.000 Point it.

00:12:26.000 Point it.

00:12:27.000 Oh, I wish this was on camera.

00:12:28.000 He's putting the shirt on.

00:12:29.000 Oh, that shirt was tough to show not getting in the morning.

00:12:33.000 Hungry cherry. 0.52

00:12:35.000 It's nice happy.

00:12:37.000 Yeah, it is.

00:12:40.000 That's really more a trail of tears.

00:12:41.000 Oh, man, now.

00:12:43.000 Yeah, because of all the rape.

00:12:45.000 So, Saturday, February 14th at the Airbay Theater in Dallas, Texas.

00:12:50.000 You can follow not underscore Feierstein on X. Not Josh Firestein.

00:12:53.000 How are you, sir?

00:12:54.000 Good.

00:12:54.000 That's Valentine's Day, if you didn't know.

00:12:56.000 I didn't.

00:12:56.000 It's a fake holiday.

00:12:57.000 It is.

00:12:58.000 But I'm giving a real comedy show.

00:12:59.000 Good.

00:13:00.000 So we're not giving it.

00:13:01.000 You have to pay for it.

00:13:02.000 Yeah.

00:13:02.000 Well, you're receiving just as much because you find approval in laughter.

00:13:06.000 Yes, and people bring me mashed potatoes.

00:13:08.000 That's not healthy.

00:13:10.000 No.

00:13:10.000 Or safe.

00:13:11.000 But I have to eat it.

00:13:12.000 I have to eat it.

00:13:12.000 I'm like Santa Claus.

00:13:13.000 Yeah.

00:13:15.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:13:16.000 Weird faces of CNN, everybody.

00:13:17.000 Weird faces of CNN right now.

00:13:18.000 Alert, alert, alert, alert.

00:13:20.000 Oh, nuts.

00:13:22.000 It was so bad they had to go to the Predator camera.

00:13:27.000 Oh, there it is.

00:13:27.000 Back up.

00:13:29.000 All right, guys.

00:13:30.000 It's taken us a little while to get into this.

00:13:31.000 But we do have, you know, not really New Year's resolutions, but we're going to make sure that with these segments like Venezuela, we give you the need to know right off the bat and then expound upon it.

00:13:41.000 Because I will tell you this: I understand that people are really tired of online content, people taking 40 minutes to say what they could say in three.

00:13:47.000 Yeah.

00:13:48.000 So we'll give you a snapshot and then give you the details.

00:13:51.000 You can always check the references.

00:13:52.000 But first, just to show you how out of touch if you thought maybe Hollywood was going to course correct, no.

00:13:59.000 Now, I don't know if we're allowed to laugh at him because he may actually be retarded. 1.00

00:14:05.000 Here is Ethan Hawke's take on Venezuela for the most self-important cliché answer you could possibly write.

00:14:14.000 So I have to ask you about your friend Leopold and Venezuela.

00:14:17.000 Your connection there.

00:14:19.000 Have you spoken to him since everything has gone down?

00:14:22.000 I have not.

00:14:23.000 I mean, but it's just yesterday that I heard about it.

00:14:29.000 I'm a little in shock about that.

00:14:30.000 You know, I was already upset about the Kennedy Center on her, and now we're bombing him somebody.

00:14:35.000 That's a very important.

00:14:37.000 Could you make sense of any of it?

00:14:42.000 The world?

00:14:43.000 I can make sense out of it in that, you know, I've done enough Shakespeare plays to know that power corrupts.

00:14:52.000 Oh, yeah.

00:14:53.000 Centuries old fiction.

00:14:55.000 He's talking about Maduro, right?

00:14:57.000 But, you know, it's a common theme of mankind is that, you know, nothing that's happening to us is Americans or civilians isn't anything that hasn't happened to humanity.

00:15:07.000 I mean, we're surrounded, history's littered with despots and selfish people and greedy people, and they make the rules for the kind people.

00:15:15.000 It's talking about Maduro, right?

00:15:17.000 Right, Gerald?

00:15:18.000 It's got to be Venezuela.

00:15:20.000 I keep wanting to say what a strange time we're living in, but then I.

00:15:22.000 The great thing about being an actor is you get to do all these period movies and you realize that you know about Shakespeare.

00:15:27.000 Every time period is strange.

00:15:30.000 And people say about menstruation.

00:15:31.000 My mother calls it the battle between the mysterious force for good and the mysterious force for darkness.

00:15:36.000 Yeah, your mother didn't coin that.

00:15:38.000 It's at some inner place.

00:15:39.000 It's also asked good and evil or light and darkness.

00:15:41.000 This is why I believe in movies.

00:15:43.000 I kind of believe in a Collective consciousness.

00:15:48.000 What that's kind of like at Thanksgiving.

00:15:52.000 You can sit down and have a bunch of really stupid conversations.

00:15:57.000 And it's up to the artistic community to kind of be like conversation starters.

00:16:02.000 Oh, Lord, help me.

00:16:04.000 Guiding the conversation in a way that's healthy and pushing us forward to be our best self.

00:16:09.000 What conversation did you guide with Black Phone 2?

00:16:12.000 So, God, those mini family Thanksgivings have gone sour and some have gone well.

00:16:18.000 Yeah.

00:16:18.000 Hey, then ask him about Thanksgiving, and he'll go on a diatribe about Native Americans and how his mother coined the term colonialism.

00:16:27.000 My mama used to say colonialism.

00:16:29.000 I've done enough Shakespearean plays to be useless as a human.

00:16:34.000 Yeah.

00:16:34.000 Artists.

00:16:35.000 So you memorize someone else's words.

00:16:37.000 That makes you smart.

00:16:38.000 Yeah.

00:16:39.000 By the way, he said that he was close friends.

00:16:42.000 He's like, no, I didn't know.

00:16:43.000 I haven't talked to him.

00:16:45.000 But you said you were close friends with that.

00:16:47.000 His name was Leopoldo.

00:16:49.000 Leopoldo Lopez, who was an opposition leader, a Caracas mayor.

00:16:55.000 Here he is saying that.

00:16:57.000 One of the bravest political opponents to Venezuela's dictator is a man named Leopoldo Lopez.

00:17:03.000 He's an old friend of mine.

00:17:04.000 We actually went to high school together.

00:17:06.000 But since those days, he has become a very strong and effective opposition leader in Venezuela, which is why the Maduro regime incarcerated him on trumped-up charges in retaliation for him leading nationwide civil protests.

00:17:21.000 Leopoldo then spent three years in prison, much of it in solitary confinement where he was tortured.

00:17:27.000 His family was persecuted into exile.

00:17:29.000 Oh, no, I get it.

00:17:30.000 If you're a good friend, you just don't, you just don't reach out to him when everything he's fought for, the entire reason for his existence, is coming to fruition.

00:17:39.000 You'll see this as a very common through line.

00:17:42.000 Like, you will actually see protesters later on in the show saying, free Maduro.

00:17:47.000 Viva President, Viva Maduro.

00:17:49.000 It's just, if Trump says it, they're against it.

00:17:52.000 And you'll see that these same people now who are against it obviously recognize that Maduro was a horrible communist dictator who violated international law.

00:18:01.000 They have no moral framework.

00:18:02.000 I will say this to his credit.

00:18:04.000 Finally, when he was asked by another reporter as to his stance, Ethan Hawk just came clean.

00:18:10.000 I am a useless man.

00:18:13.000 See, self-awareness.

00:18:16.000 Yeah.

00:18:16.000 You got to have self-awareness.

00:18:18.000 You just described your friend being put in solitary confinement for three years and beaten, and you're not celebrating the regime crumbling that did that to him?

00:18:25.000 These people bitch about greed. 1.00

00:18:27.000 Yeah.

00:18:28.000 While they are on a red carpet, being served food that is needlessly expensive, needlessly energy wasteful, and sell you fragrances, which are a necessity in no case.

00:18:42.000 There's no real world scenario where you can make the case that you need perfume, cologne, a lot of these cosmetic products.

00:18:49.000 It is people need oil.

00:18:51.000 People need energy.

00:18:53.000 People need a military.

00:18:55.000 People need homes.

00:18:57.000 People don't need the frivolities that Hollywood makes their bucks selling.

00:19:03.000 It is the perfect example of greed.

00:19:06.000 The only reason for it is money.

00:19:09.000 And they do it when they don't even need more money.

00:19:12.000 So they're not going to get any better.

00:19:14.000 And Netflix is getting worse, by the way.

00:19:16.000 Not only Stranger Things, which we talked about.

00:19:18.000 There was some other show where there's some big fat black detective, fat black lesbian lady. 1.00

00:19:23.000 Some guy dies in the West Wing, and she literally at one point goes like, oh, I can't tell the rest of you apart because you're all white, dudes. 0.95

00:19:29.000 It's like, yeah, if there's a murder on the loose, everyone's going to say, do we have a fat black dyke who can help us? 1.00

00:19:33.000 Yes, and not access security camera footage.

00:19:35.000 It's the White House.

00:19:36.000 By the way, I think the school that he was talking about, because the question came up, what high school was it?

00:19:40.000 I think it's the Hun School of Princeton.

00:19:43.000 Total cost up to 80 grand a year.

00:19:47.000 Was the principal Attila?

00:19:50.000 Poor choice of names, but I don't think Ethan Hawk has suffered much for money in his life.

00:19:55.000 I guess Ethan Hawk is not too hawkish.

00:19:58.000 I like a guy dodging a question by referencing his movie career and how movies are what changes the world and stuff.

00:20:06.000 All the while, Venezuela doesn't even have that industry.

00:20:09.000 No, they don't even have the idea of making their own movies.

00:20:14.000 They've banned Guarantee.

00:20:14.000 They don't want art.

00:20:18.000 They only like to listen to beaks. 0.99

00:20:22.000 It's very loud.

00:20:22.000 It ruins your headphones.

00:20:23.000 Only peaks, no valleys.

00:20:26.000 Peaks.

00:20:27.000 All about diabetes.

00:20:28.000 Only Christianity. 0.97

00:20:30.000 No trouble.

00:20:31.000 No trouble.

00:20:32.000 Let's go from someone we really can't stand, Ethan Hawk, to one of our favorites.

00:20:37.000 And I don't even know his political persuasion.

00:20:39.000 I don't care.

00:20:40.000 He's my favorite data.

00:20:42.000 I don't even know the methodology to his data.

00:20:44.000 He could be wrong.

00:20:45.000 He could be wrong about everything.

00:20:47.000 But in this case, you're hearing there's a lot of black pilling going on.

00:20:47.000 He sells it.

00:20:50.000 People are going, everyone hates Donald Trump.

00:20:52.000 He's betraying people.

00:20:53.000 People calling for his impeachment, people calling for his execution, people saying that he's now a Warhawk.

00:20:57.000 He's a John Bolton acolyte, whatever it is.

00:21:01.000 None of that is correct.

00:21:03.000 And it's actually not true.

00:21:04.000 Sure, Gen Z, they're a little bit fickle, and some of them don't like Donald Trump right now.

00:21:07.000 But this man, one of our favorites, Enton, decided to weigh in with his data.

00:21:12.000 Again, no idea as to where it comes from on President Trump, his popularity amongst the country, Republicans.

00:21:17.000 It's time for what a shocker with our favorite Harry Enton.

00:21:21.000 Look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress.

00:21:26.000 This shutdown hasn't even been the Donald Trump support at all.

00:21:30.000 Look at where we are now.

00:21:32.000 It's a complete flip.

00:21:37.000 Republicans divided about what the president has done in Venezuela?

00:21:40.000 Let me be very clear.

00:21:42.000 There is no rift in the Republican Party.

00:21:46.000 Yes, there are some folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massey who are quite skeptical of this.

00:21:51.000 They are very much in the minority.

00:21:53.000 What are we talking about here?

00:21:54.000 Well, why don't we just talk to GOP on the U.S. military, Austin Maduro, hypsos, 65% support, 6% opposed?

00:22:02.000 How about the Washington Post post?

00:22:04.000 74% support, just 10% opposed.

00:22:07.000 If you look among 20, 24 Trump supporters, we're talking about 80% support.

00:22:13.000 The vast, vast majority of Republicans are with Donald Trump on this issue.

00:22:19.000 You say they're with him on this issue.

00:22:22.000 Do you even need those words, this issue?

00:22:24.000 No, I don't need the words this issue because bottom line is this.

00:22:28.000 Donald Trump has had an iron grip, an iron grip on that Republican base for a long time.

00:22:34.000 This guy loves his job that he had six months ago.

00:22:37.000 I know every so often people are trying to say, oh, I spot these little riffs in the Republican.

00:22:43.000 It's like a mouse kidding cheese.

00:22:45.000 They're starting to break from Donald Trump.

00:22:46.000 It ain't happening, at least when it comes to the approval rating.

00:22:50.000 Look at this.

00:22:50.000 84% six months ago.

00:22:52.000 85% now.

00:22:54.000 You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know 85% and 84% are basically the same number.

00:22:59.000 In fact, 85% is one point higher than 84%.

00:23:02.000 That's one point higher to get.

00:23:05.000 That's a good point for people as they get older.

00:23:10.000 I love his enthusiasm.

00:23:14.000 And here's actually another clip where they talk about the Democrats in Congress and their approval ratings.

00:23:20.000 And you can see he's next to a CNN host who is just not ready for this level of energy in the morning.

00:23:24.000 But I don't care.

00:23:25.000 You keep it coming, Enton.

00:23:27.000 Yeah, I mean, Democrats and the minds of the American public are lower than the Dead Sea.

00:23:32.000 What are we talking about?

00:23:33.000 Let's take a look.

00:23:36.000 They're so low, they're playing limbo.

00:23:38.000 They're softier than the Dead Sea, too.

00:23:40.000 They are 55%.

00:23:42.000 Don't play the cards, right?

00:23:43.000 They're going to be dead like the Dead Sea.

00:23:45.000 20%.

00:23:46.000 It's even worse when you look at independents.

00:23:48.000 Look at this.

00:23:49.000 161 points.

00:23:51.000 That means that their approval rating is 61 points lower than their disapproval rating.

00:23:55.000 Quinnipiac has been polling this question for the better part of the 21st century.

00:24:00.000 They have never found Democrats, at least those in Congress, in worse shape than they are right now.

00:24:06.000 That's independence and overall, but what about Democrats on Democrats?

00:24:09.000 She's aiming with her coffee that she hasn't finished yet.

00:24:11.000 Part of the reason overall is solo because independents are driving up.

00:24:15.000 That's not the only reason it's so low.

00:24:17.000 What about Democrats on Democrats?

00:24:19.000 Democrats net approval rating of congressional Democrats.

00:24:22.000 I want you to keep in mind, they had never rated Democrats negatively until this year.

00:24:28.000 And right now, what are we talking about?

00:24:30.000 We're talking about a net approval rating from Democrats.

00:24:33.000 This is Democrats and Democrats.

00:24:34.000 Their approval rating is actually lower, lower than the disapproval rating.

00:24:38.000 And that is quite the drop from October.

00:24:40.000 Democrats on Democrats.

00:24:41.000 It's two Democrats, one cop.

00:24:46.000 I guarantee you, there are so many conversations like this at Cena.

00:24:48.000 Just someone in the makeup chair.

00:24:50.000 And I'm like, okay, we're going to ambition.

00:24:51.000 You're like, who's coming in next?

00:24:52.000 Enton?

00:24:53.000 Like, oh my God.

00:24:54.000 Look, I don't want to gossip.

00:24:55.000 He's a nice guy, but I just can't do it this early.

00:24:59.000 And he's coming like, hey, whoa, look, who's this supermodel over here?

00:25:02.000 You look great.

00:25:03.000 Can you make me look right?

00:25:04.000 I'm like, get the hell out.

00:25:05.000 He walks out.

00:25:05.000 All right.

00:25:06.000 Wow, the lighting in here is fantastic.

00:25:10.000 He's just happy to be alive and talking about numbers.

00:25:13.000 I want to see something this guy's not excited about.

00:25:15.000 I've never seen it.

00:25:16.000 Women. 0.81

00:25:19.000 Maybe that's what he is.

00:25:20.000 I don't think that's.

00:25:21.000 Maybe he's a gay Republican. 0.93

00:25:22.000 Maybe that's the vibe we're getting here.

00:25:23.000 Joking.

00:25:24.000 I have no idea.

00:25:25.000 I bet you.

00:25:26.000 No, he probably likes women.

00:25:27.000 Like, look at those tits. 1.00

00:25:28.000 Not only is there one, there's two.

00:25:30.000 And historically, there's always been two.

00:25:32.000 But let me introduce you to a lady who has three. 1.00

00:25:36.000 Total recall.

00:25:40.000 Both go to Mars.

00:25:43.000 I hope Elon is able to launch us up, catch us in the net, because I want to see three tits. 1.00

00:25:49.000 Look at those.

00:25:52.000 I just love them.

00:25:54.000 Back in February, they were triple C's.

00:25:56.000 I think that's our size.

00:25:59.000 I feel like he is constantly learning about things that everyone already knows.

00:26:02.000 He can be like, hey, have you guys heard about this new procedure?

00:26:04.000 Breast implants.

00:26:05.000 They can make them bigger.

00:26:06.000 Look at that.

00:26:07.000 Who knew?

00:26:08.000 We all did.

00:26:09.000 Whoa.

00:26:10.000 I guess I'm out of the loop.

00:26:12.000 I saw those things and I went straight to the top.

00:26:14.000 I went straight to the moon.

00:26:18.000 He's Jewish, so he probably doesn't like the Muslims.

00:26:21.000 Oh.

00:26:22.000 Well, he has his issues.

00:26:24.000 Yeah.

00:26:24.000 Probably not.

00:26:25.000 Not his favorite.

00:26:25.000 I don't know.

00:26:26.000 No, probably not his favorite.

00:26:27.000 If he had to pick.

00:26:27.000 No.

00:26:28.000 Wouldn't be top three.

00:26:29.000 For me, one of my favorites is killing commies. 0.99

00:26:31.000 Which brings us to politically killing commie, Tim Walz.

00:26:34.000 Politically, figuratively.

00:26:37.000 This happened while we were gone.

00:26:38.000 Nick Shirley did unbelievable investigative journalism.

00:26:40.000 And by the way, I know how hard that can be with Mug Club Undercover.

00:26:43.000 Every membership that you guys sign up for, it helps us do that.

00:26:47.000 We're working on some stories right now.

00:26:49.000 Oh, I also should tell you, by the way, the best way to stay in touch, download the Rumble app, follow me there.

00:26:53.000 Do not live in the social media ghettos, the YouTube ghettos, the TikTok ghettos.

00:26:58.000 You'll know when we're live.

00:27:00.000 All right, let me go back to the segue.

00:27:01.000 Speaking of killing commies, figuratively, politically, Tim Walz, Minnesota, all the Somali pirates who stole the billions of dollars under the guise of helping kids. 0.97

00:27:11.000 Well, Tim Walz, who said he knew nothing about it, I think he knew something about it because he's not going to seek re-election.

00:27:19.000 But as I reflect on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can't give a political campaign my all.

00:27:28.000 Every minute that I spend defending my inclusion would be a minute I can't spend defending criminals who play and the cynics who want to prey on our differences.

00:27:41.000 So I've decided to step out of this race and I'll let others worry about the election while I focus on the work that's in front of me for the next year.

00:27:48.000 And hiding my finances.

00:27:49.000 I'm passing on this race with zero sadness and zero regret.

00:27:52.000 I did not run for this job to have the job.

00:27:57.000 I ran for the job to do the job.

00:27:59.000 Also, I should note job is the name of another of his horses.

00:28:02.000 Oh, I thought the job did him.

00:28:06.000 Well, it doesn't go so well with someone in Mexico.

00:28:06.000 Yeah.

00:28:10.000 So this is what happened under Wall.

00:28:12.000 Keep in mind, this guy was just by the skin of our teeth.

00:28:17.000 He didn't end up being vice president of the United States.

00:28:22.000 Under his watch, the Somalis and some other scammers, but let's be honest, mostly Somalis, they defrauded Minnesota taxpayers billions of dollars. 1.00

00:28:30.000 Now, the initial number was like 200, I think I read 250 million just the daycare, but it's going to get worse.

00:28:36.000 And there are other places in this country where things like that are happening.

00:28:40.000 It's just no one has really looked.

00:28:41.000 Maybe someone will look into Texas and the student drivers.

00:28:46.000 Oh, gosh, they're everywhere.

00:28:47.000 But here's what's funny.

00:28:48.000 Like Tim Walz, you do have to sort of read the tea leaves a little bit and go, okay, why is he doing this?

00:28:54.000 Did he know anything?

00:28:55.000 And I don't know.

00:28:55.000 This is obviously hearsay.

00:28:58.000 But it's always a pretty strong signal to me when someone flip-flops, like, especially if it's in the span of a day.

00:29:05.000 It means they're uncertain and they don't know what to do.

00:29:08.000 They're panicking.

00:29:09.000 So this brings us to yesterday where Walls refused to resign.

00:29:13.000 I'm not going anywhere.

00:29:14.000 And you can make all your requests for me to resign over my dead body.

00:29:18.000 Will that happen?

00:29:19.000 I will fight this thing till the very end to make this state better.

00:29:23.000 And the question that I think they need to decide is: when did the guy in the White House resign?

00:29:28.000 When does he take accountability for what he did?

00:29:30.000 What?

00:29:33.000 Over your dead body, you say?

00:29:36.000 Today, what do we do here, Tim?

00:29:39.000 That's what I'm asking you.

00:29:40.000 What do we do here?

00:29:41.000 Do you sit over your dead body?

00:29:42.000 And this is why I really want Donald Trump is in, President Trump is in a unique position right now after Venezuela, after Iran.

00:29:49.000 Don't make the threat unless you're going to follow through.

00:29:52.000 We'll talk about the Mongols and how they were able to basically do in 25 years what the Romans required about 400 years to do. 0.88

00:29:59.000 It was the follow-through.

00:30:01.000 It's you surrender or you will be erased and annihilated.

00:30:05.000 It only works if you follow through.

00:30:08.000 So when you see politicians, they'll say, I will fight to the end.

00:30:11.000 And you know they won't.

00:30:11.000 Over my dead body.

00:30:13.000 Don't say it unless you're willing to fight to the end.

00:30:15.000 That actually happened.

00:30:16.000 We can bring this up in Mud Club, George St. Pierre versus BJ Penn.

00:30:19.000 And it ended up being really embarrassing because BJ Penn said, I'm willing to fight to the death, George.

00:30:24.000 Are you?

00:30:25.000 And then George St. Pierre beat him so badly that he gave up on his stool, I think, before the fourth round.

00:30:31.000 So the guy who didn't talk all that, George St. Pierre's like, no one's fighting to the death, man.

00:30:34.000 It's a sanction.

00:30:36.000 It's a competition.

00:30:37.000 We're not trying to hurt anybody.

00:30:38.000 We're trying to.

00:30:39.000 I'm fighting to the death, brother.

00:30:41.000 He quit.

00:30:43.000 It's way more embarrassing.

00:30:45.000 And so we want to add to the embarrassment.

00:30:47.000 It's time as we salute governor over my dead body, Tim Walz.

00:30:53.000 The time to close.

00:30:54.000 Tim Walz is one of those everyday people.

00:30:57.000 I'm not a politician, and I never planned to run for office.

00:31:00.000 I've lived my life like most people, trying to do right by my family and my neighbors.

00:31:05.000 Time to close.

00:31:08.000 Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

00:31:16.000 There, that's better.

00:31:18.000 You have never deployed actually in a war zone.

00:31:21.000 My record has been out there for over 40 years, to speak for itself.

00:31:25.000 And the idea that you said that you were in war.

00:31:29.000 Did you misspeak as the campaign has said?

00:31:31.000 Yeah, I said we were talking about in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war.

00:31:37.000 It's just the guns.

00:31:38.000 And there are things that you can do about it.

00:31:40.000 I've become friends with school shooters.

00:31:42.000 Time to close.

00:31:45.000 Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

00:31:52.000 Don't bring other households in. 0.99

00:31:55.000 Go inside this.

00:31:56.000 I have a big family.

00:31:58.000 We do a lot of things together.

00:32:00.000 That's not going to be possible.

00:32:06.000 I'm proud of the way we treat our neighbors.

00:32:09.000 Get in there.

00:32:11.000 One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.

00:32:13.000 Obviously, the police stay-at-home order is being violated.

00:32:16.000 Mind your own damn business.

00:32:19.000 I have poured my heart into my community.

00:32:21.000 I've tried to do the best I can, but I've not been perfect, and I'm a knucklehead at times.

00:32:25.000 And my wife, the English, you told me my grammar is not always correct.

00:32:29.000 Time to close.

00:32:32.000 Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

00:32:38.000 We need to increase housing supply and the kinds of housing to the housing.

00:32:43.000 The naturally affordable and all that.

00:32:44.000 I'm proud of the work we've done to make Minnesota America's best place to live and raise kids.

00:32:49.000 I could smell the burning tires.

00:32:51.000 You wanted the National Guard, and what does that mean?

00:32:53.000 We're going to have massively trained troops.

00:32:55.000 No, you're going to have 19-year-olds who are cooks.

00:32:57.000 These guys are just weird.

00:32:58.000 If it's not this, it's an attack on my children for showing love for me, or it's an attack on my dog.

00:33:03.000 These guys are creepy, and yes, just weird as hell.

00:33:05.000 That's what you see.

00:33:07.000 A bully has no self-confidence.

00:33:09.000 A bully has no strength.

00:33:10.000 I can't wait to debate the guy if he's willing to get off the couch and show up.

00:33:14.000 So see what I did there.

00:33:17.000 Turn the page, right?

00:33:20.000 I know that it's time for things to close.

00:33:26.000 I know that it's time for things to close.

00:33:32.000 I was glad to turn the page on 2025 by Governor Walls, a worthy adversary.

00:33:42.000 That's right.

00:33:42.000 If there was one.

00:33:44.000 All right.

00:33:46.000 Venezuela.

00:33:47.000 Okay.

00:33:48.000 So this happened over the break, but it's still developing.

00:33:51.000 Like I promised, you can always check the links in the description.

00:33:54.000 I want to give you a summary on the outset.

00:33:57.000 Obviously, Maduro was captured.

00:33:59.000 Okay.

00:34:00.000 Very effectively.

00:34:01.000 And there are winners and losers.

00:34:03.000 I'll give them to you and then we'll expound.

00:34:04.000 So the winners would be America, the very concept of deterrence, credibility, the people of Venezuela, Marco Rubio, because a hit was put out on him.

00:34:13.000 And also these first-time sailors.

00:34:16.000 Please, please, please.

00:34:21.000 The losers in this equation would be America, the United States' geopolitical foes, international law, because it's no longer a thing.

00:34:29.000 Of course, Canada, that's a big one.

00:34:31.000 Sean Penn, because he praised Chavez and Chavez Maduro are one of the same.

00:34:36.000 And this bounty hunter.

00:34:38.000 Got a little late.

00:34:40.000 Dang it.

00:34:41.000 So we'll go through all of those, expound upon them.

00:34:44.000 But if you don't have time, check the references and you'll be pretty much up to speed.

00:34:49.000 Let me break this down for you.

00:34:50.000 Maduro obviously just appeared in New York to face charges.

00:34:54.000 Kind of a nice move, by the way, from the United States.

00:34:57.000 As far as I'm concerned, you guys can comment below.

00:35:00.000 You put a hit out on a president, an American president, a member of the cabinet, sitting senator.

00:35:06.000 You should be executed.

00:35:07.000 And Maduro tried to put a hit out on Rubio.

00:35:10.000 I mean, that's enough.

00:35:11.000 That's enough to me, but there's a whole lot more than that.

00:35:14.000 So he appeared in court in New York, which I don't really like.

00:35:19.000 I would prefer he'd be dead to face these charges related to narco-terrorism.

00:35:24.000 It's a long walk to face the wrath of American justice for Nicholas Maduro and his wife Celia, dressed in matching tan prison uniforms, fit in handcuffs from a chopper, headed to their fire insurance, heavily armed federal.

00:35:40.000 Maduro entered the country.

00:35:41.000 Seems pretty seen people in the gallery, a happy new year.

00:35:45.000 But then he turned defiant, telling the judge that he has been kidnapped.

00:35:48.000 He has been captured in his home in Caracas, Venezuela, and that he is the elected leader of Venezuela and has the right to run his country as he sees fit.

00:35:59.000 We're using that term a little loosely these days, elected leaders.

00:36:03.000 Turns out it's pretty easy to be elected if you just lock people out from voting.

00:36:06.000 And by the way, he had the right to run his country however he chose to, right up until we came and took him.

00:36:06.000 That's true.

00:36:12.000 Yeah.

00:36:13.000 Sorry, not sorry.

00:36:14.000 And there was nothing he could do about it.

00:36:16.000 Just think about that for a second.

00:36:18.000 It just lets people know how badass the United States military.

00:36:21.000 When we're unencumbered by rules of engagement that make our mission murky and our presence absurd, this is the kind of stuff we can do.

00:36:29.000 You saw Iran. 0.61

00:36:29.000 You saw this. 0.61

00:36:30.000 You may be against it.

00:36:31.000 That's a conversation to have.

00:36:33.000 But when people just throw out military-industrial complex, there's a lot of red tape.

00:36:36.000 I understand that bureaucracy needs to be cleaned up.

00:36:39.000 There's also something to be said where the number one superpower of the world, the United States, the gap between us and number two is so wide that the ground can't be made up.

00:36:48.000 That's what gives us the ability to negotiate from a place of strength.

00:36:52.000 Yeah, and I think the world forgot what the U.S. is capable of because of certain rules of engagement, ROE, that we are using in other conflicts and certain political carefulness and what we are doing.

00:37:04.000 But they're just reminded the boogeyman exists and he wears an American flag on his shoulder.

00:37:08.000 I check under my bed for a boogeyman.

00:37:11.000 He's just a Dusk Bonnie. 0.70

00:37:15.000 Beesh, why don't you try cleaning this place once in a while? 1.00

00:37:19.000 So let me give you the winners.

00:37:20.000 Number one, United States of America.

00:37:22.000 I'm not saying that it's without consequence, but overall, we are the biggest beneficiary of this.

00:37:27.000 So the Monroe Doctrine, many of you are familiar with this.

00:37:28.000 It's been making the rounds again.

00:37:30.000 This is a major step towards reestablishing that.

00:37:33.000 And that basically means that the Western hemisphere is our top priority.

00:37:37.000 We're geographically protected by oceans, but we don't let anyone in our own backyard start screwing around.

00:37:43.000 So this was noted in the 2026 national security strategy where they said we will enlist established friends in the hemisphere to control migration, stop drug flows, and strengthen stability and security on land and sea.

00:37:54.000 And here's something else, too, because now you see people, I've seen an argument against this.

00:37:58.000 I've seen some fake news circulating too, that, oh, now what's going to happen is Donald Trump's going to give citizenship to all these Venezuelans. 0.99

00:38:04.000 Yeah, so people got fooled by that.

00:38:05.000 Yeah.

00:38:06.000 And some people saying, well, I hope you enjoy celebrating this with all the Venezuelans who come here because it's destabilized.

00:38:11.000 A third of Venezuelans had already fled since 2014, including about a million to the United States.

00:38:17.000 So what people are doing is they're taking reality, inverting it, and making a prediction.

00:38:22.000 They're going, oh, yeah, well, because of this, we're going to have an immigration problem. 0.94

00:38:26.000 No, no, we had it.

00:38:27.000 And this is actually a step toward correcting that.

00:38:30.000 Turns out, I don't know if you know this, if people starve in their own country, they try to leave.

00:38:37.000 And it says a lot, too.

00:38:39.000 When you see that number, when it's 8 million and only a million made it to the United States, it's like, it's not the typical story.

00:38:44.000 It's like, well, of course, everybody wants to come to the United States.

00:38:46.000 I mean, what a great opportunity.

00:38:47.000 They're willing to go to Colombia.

00:38:49.000 They're willing to go to Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico.

00:38:52.000 They're going anywhere that's near but not Venezuela.

00:38:56.000 And if Venezuela becomes a more hospitable country, guess what?

00:38:59.000 People are more likely to stay there.

00:39:01.000 And there have been a lot of Venezuelans saying, you know what?

00:39:02.000 I think I might go back and really make a go of it over there at Grover Cleveland.

00:39:07.000 I hope they do.

00:39:09.000 Another winner here, or I guess I should say a component of it.

00:39:11.000 Oil is, by the way, let's be honest, it's a big deal.

00:39:14.000 It does matter.

00:39:15.000 And I appreciate that President Trump was open about that.

00:39:18.000 Because remember, people say, oh, it was a war for oil.

00:39:20.000 He's like, pretty much, because look, a little bit.

00:39:24.000 We're the ones who built, invested.

00:39:26.000 Maybe you guys don't know this.

00:39:27.000 Built, invested this infrastructure.

00:39:29.000 And a court ruled, international court, that Venezuela was guilty.

00:39:33.000 Maduro expropriated and just nationalized things that were they actually belonged to American oil companies.

00:39:40.000 Are we just supposed to let people pipe us and say, thank you, sir, may have another?

00:39:43.000 So Donald Trump voiced this.

00:39:45.000 He articulated it pretty well.

00:39:46.000 This is good for the United States, more access and more energy stability.

00:39:51.000 Venezuela over the seas and sold American oil, American assets, and American platforms, costing us billions and billions of dollars.

00:40:04.000 They did this a while ago, but we never had a president that did anything about it.

00:40:08.000 They took all of our property.

00:40:10.000 It was our property.

00:40:12.000 We built it.

00:40:14.000 And we never had a president that decided to do anything about it.

00:40:18.000 Instead, they fought wars that were 10,000 miles away.

00:40:22.000 We built Venezuela oil industry with American talent, drive, and skill.

00:40:28.000 And the socialist regime stole it from us during those previous administrations.

00:40:35.000 And they stole it through force.

00:40:37.000 We're going to be running it with a group, and we're going to make sure it's run properly.

00:40:41.000 We're going to rebuild the oil infrastructure, which will cost billions of dollars.

00:40:45.000 It'll be paid for by the oil companies directly.

00:40:48.000 They will be reimbursed for what they're doing, but that's going to be paid.

00:40:54.000 And we're going to get the oil flowing the way it should be.

00:40:56.000 As you know, it was just a minor flow.

00:40:58.000 It was actually a minor flow for what they have.

00:41:00.000 But we're going to run it properly and we're going to make sure the people of Venezuela are taken care of.

00:41:05.000 So, $17 trillion, by the way, in oil reserves.

00:41:08.000 That's worth more than the GDP of all but two countries.

00:41:11.000 So that's number one in the world.

00:41:12.000 Yeah, number one in the world as far as it's not all super accessible, so it'll take a while because of the terrain.

00:41:18.000 But still, that is important.

00:41:20.000 And I hear people saying, like, no war for oil.

00:41:22.000 Well, we're not at war.

00:41:24.000 And I heard Megan Kelly say, oh, boots on the ground. 1.00

00:41:26.000 They're not going to die.

00:41:27.000 You know where we have boots on the ground right now?

00:41:29.000 Like 50,000 plus?

00:41:30.000 Japan.

00:41:31.000 Are we at war with Japan?

00:41:32.000 Boots on the ground doesn't mean war.

00:41:33.000 There is.

00:41:34.000 Yeah.

00:41:34.000 Germany, Italy.

00:41:35.000 There is no war, to be clear.

00:41:37.000 And I get it.

00:41:38.000 We shouldn't just go to war to enrich Halliburton if you believe that as a premise.

00:41:43.000 I would agree with you.

00:41:45.000 But I also don't hate American oil industries in comparison to oil across the world.

00:41:51.000 I want us to have cheaper energy and access to more energy and to be more independent than other nations out there.

00:41:58.000 So, yeah, war for oil or no-bid contracts, corruption.

00:42:02.000 I get it.

00:42:03.000 That's bad.

00:42:03.000 Same can be said for any energy sector.

00:42:06.000 But the American oil industry, I want to do better than any other oil industry.

00:42:11.000 I think that's America first. 0.91

00:42:13.000 Here's an update, by the way.

00:42:14.000 President Trump last night announced that Venezuela would be releasing millions of barrels of sanctioned oil to the United States.

00:42:21.000 He wrote, This oil will be sold at its market price, and that money will be controlled by me.

00:42:28.000 You guessed it as president of the United States of America to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States.

00:42:37.000 I've heard some dummies say, How is that America first or benefit Venezuela?

00:42:40.000 No, what we're talking about is paying a fair market price.

00:42:43.000 So this is another example.

00:42:45.000 It's proof positive that we are not an empire.

00:42:48.000 Empires don't pay for resources.

00:42:51.000 They take them and rape your face. 0.97

00:42:55.000 That's what they do.

00:42:56.000 Yeah, they prefer the face.

00:42:58.000 Yes, they do.

00:42:58.000 It's like empirical data.

00:42:59.000 Yeah, it absolutely is because it's a power move.

00:43:01.000 There's been a study.

00:43:02.000 Another empirical data on it.

00:43:04.000 Not everything is a study, Gerald.

00:43:05.000 Imperial governments.

00:43:06.000 You science cultist.

00:43:07.000 Now, the second winner is conceptually the concept of deterrence, credibility.

00:43:13.000 Massive.

00:43:14.000 This is big.

00:43:15.000 This is big because President Trump proved once again that he will make good on his threats.

00:43:20.000 Whether you agree with it or not, you need to understand that it's an important facet taken into consideration from our enemies when making decisions.

00:43:30.000 He has offered everything.

00:43:32.000 He's offered everything.

00:43:33.000 You know why?

00:43:33.000 You're right.

00:43:35.000 Because he doesn't want to fuck around with the United States.

00:43:38.000 Thank you, everybody.

00:43:39.000 President Trump says the U.S. carried out large-scale strikes on Venezuela overnight.

00:43:44.000 He says its president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores, have been captured and flown out of the country.

00:43:51.000 Well, just like his threats on Iran.

00:43:55.000 And to be clear, like, I don't know if you know this, but the empire, you know, the Mongols, and Regengis Khan, it's the, I think, the term that uses the single largest contiguous land empire ever.

00:44:05.000 I don't know how you gauge as far as population, things like that, but it was huge.

00:44:10.000 Something like one sixteenth of people on earth have some kind of Mongol DNA in them, likely from Genghis Khan himself, because he did not prefer the faith.

00:44:18.000 Yeah, prolific.

00:44:18.000 He was prolific.

00:44:19.000 They did in 25 years, what it took the Romans to do like 400 years. 0.99

00:44:23.000 I mean, you can go back and look at, I believe it was Merv was a Baghdad. 0.99

00:44:26.000 I think Bork was one.

00:44:28.000 Here's how it happened.

00:44:29.000 They controlled a landmass.

00:44:31.000 It goes, it went from Korea all the way to Europe, pretty much, with only about 100,000 soldiers.

00:44:38.000 And that's 30 million people.

00:44:40.000 The way they did it was by leveling cities.

00:44:42.000 In some cases, people estimate half a million to a million people, just gone.

00:44:46.000 They showed up and they said, okay, surrender or complete annihilation.

00:44:52.000 We're going to wait outside your city walls and hesitation will be seen as making the decision.

00:44:57.000 Hesitation itself was turned into a crime.

00:45:01.000 And what would they do?

00:45:02.000 They go, oh, you hesitated a day.

00:45:04.000 And they would divert a river and flood your entire village.

00:45:08.000 And sometimes, even if you surrendered, they still took you out because they wanted to keep you guessing.

00:45:12.000 Now, I'm not saying that this is right, but what I'm saying is they got to a certain point where for every five cities they would conquer, they really only needed to militarily take one.

00:45:23.000 The rest of them opened up the gates.

00:45:24.000 Why?

00:45:25.000 Because they knew that there would be follow-through.

00:45:28.000 Now, I'm not saying that we should be like Genghis Khan.

00:45:30.000 What I am saying is there's something to be said for meaning what you say.

00:45:36.000 If you count to three, there better be consequences.

00:45:40.000 Anyone out there have children?

00:45:41.000 If you count to three and don't do it, you've now lost it.

00:45:41.000 You know that, right?

00:45:44.000 Your daughter's going to be a stripper. 1.00

00:45:47.000 So, let's contrast this with a different approach, Democrats, and their credibility on their stance as far as deterring a nuclear Iran. 0.63

00:46:01.000 Don't joke.

00:46:06.000 Don't forget Obama's red line in Syria if he uses chemical weapons.

00:46:09.000 And then he did.

00:46:10.000 Yeah.

00:46:11.000 I meant yellow, like maybe like caution.

00:46:11.000 Did I say red?

00:46:14.000 No, Red light.

00:46:14.000 Just careful.

00:46:16.000 I'm not yellow light.

00:46:19.000 Dead government.

00:46:20.000 Don't forget how Biden handled Russia, which, by the way, is relevant in all this because you could say the same for NATO.

00:46:25.000 We're like, you better stop.

00:46:26.000 But by the way, can we still get a good price on all that energy?

00:46:30.000 Oh, that's sweet Russian oil.

00:46:31.000 Yeah.

00:46:32.000 A Biden administration official says a phone call between President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin over the situation in Ukraine was quote professional and substantive, but there was quote no fundamental change in the dynamic.

00:46:47.000 The president warning a Russian attack would cause widespread human being telling Putin the U.S. and its allies would quote respond decisively with swift and severe costs.

00:46:58.000 Literally 12 days later, major breaking news this now as Ukrainian government leaders has begun.

00:47:09.000 Start of the war.

00:47:12.000 We have a hard break, guys.

00:47:19.000 Act decisively this weekend at Applebee's.

00:47:24.000 Only at Applebee's.

00:47:25.000 And they say America has no culture.

00:47:27.000 You know, there's a guy on the line.

00:47:28.000 I can get you the spot right now.

00:47:29.000 The war is kicking off.

00:47:30.000 Are you in or out?

00:47:32.000 Somebody at Applebee's like, we didn't pay extra for that, did we?

00:47:35.000 I've got Fridays on the other line.

00:47:36.000 Don't make me do it.

00:47:37.000 Putin doing, why is he wiggling his bot?

00:47:40.000 Maybe we were wrong.

00:47:41.000 Cancel the Super Bowl commercial.

00:47:43.000 We got the Russian war.

00:47:44.000 It's all just reheated Cisco foods.

00:47:49.000 The other winners here would be the people of Venezuela.

00:47:52.000 And this is something that American privilege.

00:47:54.000 It's so funny the left who demands you check your privilege.

00:47:57.000 They don't realize that they are actually the walking example of privilege.

00:48:02.000 And I don't mean, look, there's nothing wrong with being raised privileges.

00:48:05.000 It's kind of like an immutable characteristic.

00:48:06.000 There's nothing you can do about it.

00:48:08.000 There is something wrong with lacking any self-awareness whatsoever, where you are actually doing the bidding of totalitarian dictators and communists.

00:48:16.000 Again, I'm actually happy that we're back to killing communists.

00:48:18.000 So let's compare the Venezuelan reaction, the people who've lived under this kind of rule, or similar countries, places like Cuba, versus the American leftists.

00:48:29.000 And ask yourself, how are they so out of touch?

00:48:45.000 That's so weak.

00:48:47.000 Liberals in Scotland.

00:48:49.000 Love their chants, dude.

00:49:09.000 Free Maduro.

00:49:10.000 That's why these people wear cherry shirts.

00:49:12.000 Celebrate for all these 24 years.

00:49:15.000 She can stick.

00:49:15.000 Definitely, I think it's something we not only have to celebrate, but thank our President Trump because if it wasn't for him, nothing would be possible.

00:49:26.000 But yeah, I'm super grateful.

00:49:27.000 Hands up, Venezuela! 0.99

00:49:29.000 Hands up!

00:49:31.000 Hands up, Venezuela! 0.99

00:49:33.000 Hands up!

00:49:38.000 Horbones aren't kicking in yet.

00:49:39.000 What in God's name was that thing?

00:49:47.000 If you are a Venezuelan refugee living in the United States of America, understand something.

00:49:53.000 He is saying you're a rapist drug dealer that will get sent to fingot.

00:49:59.000 And who voted for this?

00:50:00.000 The people in South Florida, the Venezuelan community, the Cuban-American community, the Nicaraguan-American community voted for this.

00:50:08.000 And for us, this is a very, very happy day.

00:50:11.000 Now, let me be clear.

00:50:12.000 There are plenty of people, and I know this, well, why don't you care about it?

00:50:15.000 And then insert whatever group right here.

00:50:17.000 These Christians being persecuted.

00:50:18.000 Huh?

00:50:18.000 Seems to me like you're only pro-intervention.

00:50:21.000 That actually is a valid point.

00:50:22.000 I'm only pro-intervention if it's in America's interest. 0.86

00:50:26.000 In this case, they happen to be aligned.

00:50:28.000 But it does nobody any favors to act as though the people of Venezuela lived under anything other than tyrannical rule.

00:50:37.000 So that's a side benefit.

00:50:39.000 It doesn't mean that we should free everybody in countries that have never gotten it, right?

00:50:42.000 Certainly the most oil-rich country in the world, who, by the way, screwed us out of contracts to which we were legally entitled.

00:50:49.000 And keep in mind, for those of you who don't believe it, this is just more propaganda.

00:50:51.000 Under Hugo Chavez than Maduro, who by the way, are one and the same.

00:50:55.000 Chavez, praised by Sean Penn.

00:50:56.000 Chavez, praised by Bernie Sanders.

00:50:58.000 Breadlines are a good thing.

00:50:59.000 Remember that?

00:51:00.000 Venezuela spiraled absolutely into abject poverty.

00:51:04.000 So the GDP per capita in 2010 was 13,600.

00:51:07.000 Today it's 4,200.

00:51:09.000 Their inflation in 2018, or I believe since 2018, was about 130,000 percent in 2018.

00:51:16.000 Jeez.

00:51:17.000 The last time we were able to study this in 2017, the average Venezuelan lost 24 pounds.

00:51:22.000 The Venezuelan diet?

00:51:23.000 Yeah.

00:51:23.000 They were starving.

00:51:25.000 It was the original Ozen pic.

00:51:27.000 Jeez.

00:51:28.000 And since then, since Maduro, I guess, was captured, the Caracas stock exchange is up 94%.

00:51:32.000 Like, oh, we can do business again without being killed.

00:51:34.000 Right.

00:51:35.000 Well, almost, not yet.

00:51:36.000 Now, I know when people talk about it's not our job to install a government.

00:51:39.000 People talk about regime change.

00:51:41.000 We were willing to take our chances with anyone else.

00:51:44.000 And there need to be consequences if you violate your contracts and screw the United States, especially if you're setting up a landing pad for China and Russia. 0.93

00:51:52.000 Exactly.

00:51:53.000 And we'll get to that.

00:51:54.000 One theory I will say that is unsubstantiated, but going around, and I think is reasonable, that Maduro was looking for an exit strategy, and this capture may have been some sort of a plea deal arranged behind the scenes with Donald Trump.

00:52:08.000 The good news is we have exclusive audio.

00:52:11.000 Hola, senior Trump.

00:52:13.000 Nikki Maduro.

00:52:14.000 Look, frankly, it's time for you to leave Venezuela.

00:52:18.000 Marco Rubio, he wants to kill you.

00:52:21.000 He's an angry little Mexican. 1.00

00:52:24.000 Dicky's Gubano, but that would look very bad for me.

00:52:27.000 Very bad for me, Porque.

00:52:28.000 I have an image of a strong and powerful leader.

00:52:31.000 They even have a nickname for me, and that name is Super Bigote.

00:52:34.000 Yes, I know.

00:52:35.000 I've been called a super bigot too.

00:52:37.000 Nasty nickname.

00:52:39.000 Fake news.

00:52:40.000 So, what do we do here, old Nikki?

00:52:43.000 Okay, what if, instead of Guag, what if I give you an inside man?

00:52:47.000 And that way, you know where I am, what I'm doing, and that way you can send in your CIA and capture me.

00:52:53.000 So you look like a tough guy, I look like a tough guy, and then you take me to Estados Unidros, and you can put me in jail.

00:52:59.000 Well, I don't need to look like a tough guy because I am one, but I like the cut of your giblets.

00:53:07.000 We'll be there Sunday.

00:53:09.000 Okay, but wait for my signal.

00:53:11.000 Porque, we will be up late playing games.

00:53:13.000 I don't play games.

00:53:15.000 Well, I like to play games.

00:53:17.000 Sometimes I play Candyland.

00:53:18.000 So if you hear that I'm in the Peppermint Plateau, don't come.

00:53:22.000 Because that means that I'm about to win.

00:53:25.000 Or if you hear the clicky-clacky of the hungry hippos, just wait.

00:53:28.000 Porque, I'm busy eating all the balls.

00:53:30.000 Toros los protas.

00:53:32.000 I've heard that about you.

00:53:32.000 Ayo.

00:53:34.000 Is there anything else?

00:53:36.000 Could you also bring my wife?

00:53:38.000 I frankly have no problem with that.

00:53:41.000 I love Venezuelan ladies. 1.00

00:53:44.000 That's good.

00:53:45.000 Oh, also, she has been a super nagote recently, so tell you guys to rough her up a little bit. 1.00

00:53:50.000 Well, look, if that's what you want, I have to go.

00:53:53.000 The president of Colombia's calling.

00:53:55.000 That little bitch always has the sniffles. 1.00

00:54:00.000 I mean, he was giving it out.

00:54:02.000 Yeah.

00:54:02.000 He took it.

00:54:03.000 Also, by the way, you can admonish me, Tulman Tim, because apparently I way overshot the Mongol descendants, but it's a lot. 0.71

00:54:09.000 It's not 116th of planet Earth.

00:54:10.000 What?

00:54:10.000 That's not an admonishment.

00:54:12.000 Get that off the screen.

00:54:13.000 I don't think you guys are right about that.

00:54:15.000 I don't think you guys are right about 16 million.

00:54:16.000 That's Mongolians today. 1.00

00:54:18.000 We'll do some research.

00:54:18.000 We haven't 23 to me the whole earth.

00:54:20.000 All right.

00:54:22.000 Fair.

00:54:23.000 Let's go to the losers. 0.84

00:54:25.000 These are the losers in this situation.

00:54:28.000 Of course, the geopolitical foes of the United States.

00:54:30.000 That includes China.

00:54:32.000 So this is important because people say, oh, it's just about oil, like making oil companies rich.

00:54:36.000 No, 80% of Venezuelan oil was being exported to China, to be clear.

00:54:42.000 That's important for China.

00:54:43.000 And again, this is the most oil-rich country in the world.

00:54:47.000 And I know it depends.

00:54:48.000 People say, well, actually, I understand we're talking about crude and you're talking about, but it has a lot of oil.

00:54:53.000 And it was going to China.

00:54:55.000 Also, Venezuela was the largest Latin American recipient of Chinese investment, like $60 billion.

00:55:00.000 And they were the largest Latin American buyer of Chinese military tech.

00:55:04.000 How'd that work out?

00:55:05.000 Yeah.

00:55:05.000 Well, there's more to it than that.

00:55:07.000 In mind that the Chinese delegation was in Caracas at the time of the capture, which I think may have been by design.

00:55:13.000 I think they only got there like hours before, maybe within the last 12 hours.

00:55:17.000 Are they there yet?

00:55:18.000 Watch this, Schlantz.

00:55:21.000 Let's see how that military tech works.

00:55:23.000 No, one other point I want to say, like on the China thing, don't forget Panama happened too.

00:55:29.000 The Belt and Roads Initiative.

00:55:29.000 Right?

00:55:30.000 A lot of people are forgetting why we're concerned about that region and the investments that China's making worldwide and the things they're trying to do with rare earths.

00:55:36.000 Like this is really boxing them out.

00:55:38.000 And for all of those who are out there trying to armchair this and say, yeah, they're going to go and take Taiwan.

00:55:42.000 And then what moral authority do we have?

00:55:44.000 These are not the same situations.

00:55:46.000 Not even close to the same situations.

00:55:47.000 No, I don't think it emboldens them.

00:55:49.000 I think it makes them go, they did what in 90 minutes?

00:55:52.000 Yeah.

00:55:53.000 Maybe not.

00:55:54.000 Not only do they think they could do a lot better.

00:55:55.000 That's fine.

00:55:56.000 I understand that.

00:55:56.000 But do you really think they want a FAFO right now with Donald Trump?

00:55:59.000 This guy is very unpredictable.

00:56:01.000 I don't think it does anything for Taiwan.

00:56:03.000 Also, keep in mind, a lot of these people, a lot of these sort of libertarians, these black pillars, and I'm really generally non-interventionist.

00:56:09.000 Yeah.

00:56:09.000 I think you could make a case both ways.

00:56:11.000 I kind of did as it related to Iran.

00:56:14.000 But I think the results now speak for themselves.

00:56:16.000 I think it was worth it.

00:56:17.000 What did this cost us?

00:56:18.000 There are different estimates, like $20 to $30 million.

00:56:21.000 That's a nice home in Hill Country in Austin.

00:56:25.000 Nothing.

00:56:25.000 Let's be clear about it.

00:56:26.000 We just got about 50 million barrels of oil.

00:56:29.000 Yeah.

00:56:29.000 Okay.

00:56:30.000 So listen, if they're satisfying contracts that sanctioned oil and they're taking care of it, that's fantastic.

00:56:34.000 Listen, winning looks good.

00:56:37.000 Not only that, but what these libertarians, black pillars do is they seem to be experts in things that haven't happened yet. 1.00

00:56:43.000 World War III, Iran.

00:56:45.000 And right now they're doing the same thing.

00:56:46.000 So this is going to destabilize, this is going to destabilize Venezuela.

00:56:49.000 Watch, it's going to be a problem.

00:56:50.000 What with their blow guns and pea shooters?

00:56:52.000 Shut up. 0.95

00:56:54.000 But even more than that, so wait, you're taking the reverse of reality.

00:56:57.000 China just lost one of their largest trade partners as far as oil.

00:57:02.000 They just saw someone get taken out in the middle of the night.

00:57:05.000 Now, basically, an operation a second time, if you count Iran, that was a refinement facility.

00:57:09.000 I understand that.

00:57:10.000 This was an actual human being.

00:57:11.000 And they're going to be more emboldened.

00:57:13.000 And then why would they take Taiwan?

00:57:14.000 Because they can make up the oil in Taiwan.

00:57:16.000 If you just walk through it logically, you go, oh, that makes no sense.

00:57:19.000 This is fear-mongering because you have people who want to just sort of be contrarian.

00:57:24.000 I'm glad that we're killing communists.

00:57:26.000 Yeah.

00:57:27.000 Now.

00:57:27.000 I wish we'd killed one more, to be quite honest.

00:57:30.000 Well, instead of taking them, but there's a lot more.

00:57:33.000 Yeah, no, I understand that too.

00:57:34.000 You put a hit out on Ruby, you should be killed.

00:57:36.000 I would have had no problem with that.

00:57:37.000 But this shows the people of Venezuela, like, hey.

00:57:39.000 It's definitely a power move to be to, you know, typical Trump stuff.

00:57:42.000 He's parading him through New York City.

00:57:44.000 Yeah.

00:57:44.000 Definitely a power move.

00:57:45.000 It sends a message.

00:57:47.000 Yeah.

00:57:48.000 The other thing.

00:57:48.000 Oh, the other thing too is obviously Russia.

00:57:50.000 I forgot about.

00:57:51.000 Yeah, that's a big deal.

00:57:51.000 Russia.

00:57:52.000 Here's why, you know, we talked about oil with China.

00:57:54.000 Russia, not so much.

00:57:55.000 They have quite a bit of natural resources on that front.

00:57:58.000 It's a different oil.

00:57:59.000 Yeah, it's a different oil.

00:58:00.000 But here's what is funny about Russia. 0.70

00:58:03.000 Venezuela, their air defense systems, they were made by Russia and it did nothing. 0.55

00:58:09.000 Nothing.

00:58:10.000 And I saw people online going like, how is this even possible?

00:58:13.000 Venezuela, they must have been in on it.

00:58:15.000 They must have powered them down by themselves.

00:58:18.000 They must have shut them down.

00:58:18.000 Why would they do that?

00:58:20.000 It's kind of possible in the same way that Russia couldn't take a small area of Ukraine.

00:58:20.000 Possible.

00:58:24.000 I mean, you know what?

00:58:25.000 You know, we have an apples-to-apples comparison.

00:58:27.000 Russia did try to do this exact thing to Vladimir Zelensky and Kiev, and it didn't work.

00:58:33.000 Right.

00:58:34.000 So, sorry.

00:58:35.000 They tried to act like they didn't too.

00:58:37.000 Somebody from the Kremlin was like, no, we could do that easily.

00:58:40.000 With the United States and Venezuela, we could do that easily, probably even easier, but we haven't done it because we respect international law.

00:58:45.000 Yes, exactly.

00:58:48.000 What international law have you ever received?

00:58:50.000 Do you think when it started, do you think the Russians were sitting there like, wait for it?

00:58:53.000 Wait for it?

00:58:55.000 Shit.

00:58:56.000 Oh, they've been in.

00:58:57.000 90 minutes?

00:58:58.000 Whoa, that's great.

00:58:59.000 This is from the Telegraph.

00:59:00.000 One analyst wrote, the speed with which these systems were neutralized signals a catastrophic failure again of Russian export air defense technology against fifth generation Western air power.

00:59:13.000 So now Russia has abandoned their buddies in Syria, Iran, Venezuela, and now their oil is less relevant than ever.

00:59:21.000 Well, certainly for the United States.

00:59:22.000 I don't know about Europe.

00:59:23.000 I don't know about NATO, right?

00:59:25.000 It's like, hey, you better not do that.

00:59:25.000 That's the one thing, too.

00:59:28.000 No, they're going to keep buying Russian oil out of principle.

00:59:30.000 Right.

00:59:31.000 Because what we did was bad.

00:59:33.000 So they're going to buy it from Russia because that's the right thing to do. 0.97

00:59:35.000 Yeah.

00:59:36.000 These people live in a world where Trump is worse than getting oil from Russia.

00:59:36.000 Right.

00:59:39.000 Yeah, and they say that has no impact.

00:59:40.000 Listen, here's how very quickly: Russia needs oil prices to be a little higher.

00:59:44.000 That funds their war machine.

00:59:45.000 If you increase production in Venezuela, because they had gone to like very low levels relative to how much oil they have of production, it's ridiculously low.

00:59:53.000 If you start ramping that up, it does put more pressure on Russia.

00:59:55.000 That's the oil play for Russia. 0.73

00:59:57.000 It also shows, hey, free countries, free enterprise-based countries, they do better than socialists or communist countries.

01:00:03.000 Because what happened is when the socialists took power, the communists took power in Venezuela.

01:00:06.000 They're like, yeah, get rid of all the people who could actually maintain this infrastructure.

01:00:09.000 It was state of the art, left it to rot.

01:00:11.000 Do we have any other examples of, oh, that's right, Mao, sending doctors and lawyers out into the fields?

01:00:16.000 Oh, that's right, Pol Pot.

01:00:17.000 Oh, that's right, Stalin.

01:00:18.000 They don't know how to run things.

01:00:20.000 That's when people say, seize the means of production and distribution.

01:00:20.000 No.

01:00:25.000 What makes you think that you will know that anywhere near as well as someone who created that business from the ground up?

01:00:31.000 Those chants are always chanted by unemployed people.

01:00:33.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:00:36.000 Seize the means of production.

01:00:37.000 How do you produce?

01:00:38.000 Every single one of those protesters is you free Maduro.

01:00:38.000 How do you produce?

01:00:41.000 Viva Maduro.

01:00:43.000 If you were to put them in charge of a company, those are the people who would take all the money for themselves as a salary, be broken five years, and the company goes under.

01:00:51.000 They have no idea how to build a business, how to build anything.

01:00:54.000 Communists, socialists, they only destroy.

01:00:56.000 And then it turns out we're better than them at that too.

01:00:58.000 Here's another loser.

01:01:00.000 Well, not Cuba, the Cuban government, to be clear.

01:01:03.000 So both Chavez and Maduro, they really, I mean, so many people hated Maduro in Venezuela that he needed to find Cubans to actually help protect him.

01:01:15.000 32 Cuban officers were killed in that raid.

01:01:19.000 And now, when asked, the United States warned that, you know what?

01:01:22.000 Yeah, maybe Cuba's on the list.

01:01:24.000 Are you considering U.S. action in Cuba?

01:01:27.000 I think it's just going to fall.

01:01:29.000 I don't think we need any action.

01:01:31.000 Looks like it's going down.

01:01:32.000 It's going down for the count.

01:01:33.000 You ever watch a fight?

01:01:36.000 They go down for the count.

01:01:40.000 You ever watch boxing?

01:01:41.000 Yeah.

01:01:42.000 They wear gloves.

01:01:44.000 They box in gloves.

01:01:45.000 Yes, I know.

01:01:46.000 I watch it.

01:01:47.000 Tape!

01:01:48.000 They put on the hands.

01:01:49.000 So here's the thing you guys need to.

01:01:51.000 I would love to see this.

01:01:53.000 Just take out the government in Cuba and just crate drop some rifles.

01:01:57.000 Say, have fun.

01:01:58.000 If Cuba opened up, you would see it become a first world country immediately, if only based on United States tourism.

01:02:07.000 It also shows you that communism can't work because think about it.

01:02:10.000 People blame the United States for Cuba, right?

01:02:12.000 We're blamed both ways.

01:02:14.000 But they have the biggest trading partners in the world with Russia and China.

01:02:18.000 Well, why can't they make it work?

01:02:20.000 The most fertile soil possibly on earth, everything grows there, used to be a playground for the wealthy.

01:02:27.000 And you have the two largest countries, you know, outside of that.

01:02:30.000 They're not as powerful as the United States.

01:02:32.000 You guys should all be able to make communism work.

01:02:34.000 No, it's turds trading with turds.

01:02:36.000 Yeah.

01:02:36.000 That's exactly right.

01:02:37.000 The United States gets blamed for Cuba's poverty, not China and Russia.

01:02:40.000 Yeah.

01:02:41.000 Oh, the United States gets blamed for violating international law, not China and Russia who assisted these evil dictators in violating international law. 0.63

01:02:49.000 You would see Cuba, I mean, just imagine the tobacco, the tobacco industry, the people who are there, who own the tobacco fields, they'd get it back from the Cuban government and they'd be able to host a bidding war.

01:02:59.000 Hey, which one of these companies who've moved to Nicaragua, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, who wants to start running this ship?

01:03:06.000 That could be exported.

01:03:07.000 Sugarcane, you would see it become a first world country.

01:03:11.000 And frankly, I'm always amazed that we allow that to be a weak point.

01:03:13.000 We shouldn't have anyone right off our coast where Russians can set up missiles. 0.97

01:03:17.000 Did you forget that?

01:03:18.000 That happened.

01:03:19.000 Another important point to note is Cuba mirrors economy in Venezuela.

01:03:23.000 So pre-revolution, they had a bigger economy than Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea.

01:03:27.000 And today, Singapore's economy is now 10 times larger.

01:03:30.000 Taiwan is four times larger.

01:03:31.000 South Korea is four times larger.

01:03:33.000 It's abject poverty for the people of Cuba.

01:03:36.000 The results are in communism, socialism has hurt everything it touches.

01:03:41.000 You could even go to the UK and look at the absolute destruction of their own healthcare system.

01:03:46.000 Now it's a problem.

01:03:47.000 It wasn't a crisis 15 years ago where people would praise it.

01:03:50.000 Now, when it's basically insolvent, if you were to use that term, people say, oh, it just needs more money thrown at it.

01:03:55.000 And here's the thing, too.

01:03:57.000 I guess this is kind of new.

01:03:58.000 The Trump administration, they reportedly gave an ultimatum to Venezuela to sever ties with China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, or, well, you know how it ends.

01:04:08.000 Second loser is this concept of, I know I'm going a little long today, international law.

01:04:14.000 It's not a thing.

01:04:15.000 International law.

01:04:16.000 International law.

01:04:17.000 That's what people say.

01:04:19.000 I mean, you can say it.

01:04:21.000 And the libertarians and leftists, by the way, who are far closer together.

01:04:25.000 It used to be libertarians were kind of more in the conservative wing, only they wanted a bunch of weed and Bitcoin or whatever it was.

01:04:31.000 But now they're basically liberals who claim that they're not woke.

01:04:36.000 I'm sorry, it's really hard for me to delineate.

01:04:39.000 When you welcome Islamists with open arms and condemn an action that killed a communist dictator with no loss of life to us, I just think you're a liberal who wants to pretend that you're a part of intelligentsia because these people are all now whining. 0.93

01:04:55.000 This actually, President Trump violated international law.

01:05:00.000 It's not legal to do this.

01:05:02.000 It tells people why not.

01:05:04.000 Well, it's not legal because it violates international law.

01:05:07.000 If you have suggested for somebody in a third country to say members of the Trump administration have violated international law or violated the law of their country, and they're going to storm into our country and abduct these people and take them away.

01:05:20.000 If a foreign power accused the British prime minister of breaking its domestic law, bombed targets in the UK, killed dozens of British citizens, and abducted the prime minister and his wife in the middle of the night, would the government be able to say that was legal?

01:05:34.000 Or is international law only something that applies when Donald Trump says it can?

01:05:39.000 People in news and stuff like that saying that, like, well, hey, there's no such thing as international law anyway.

01:05:44.000 It's all bullshit because there's no enforcement mechanism, which is like, that is true to agree.

01:05:50.000 And I've always kind of said that.

01:05:51.000 International law is kind of made up.

01:05:51.000 It's true, period.

01:05:53.000 You think that's a better world?

01:05:55.000 A better world is that if nation states agree that we won't invade each other and we won't topple each other's governments, you could just break that whenever you want to.

01:06:03.000 That is the way the United States of America operates.

01:06:06.000 So unless the Nazis or unless Stalin, unless they invaded other countries, so if they just did all that, we shouldn't do anything. 0.83

01:06:16.000 Is that the point?

01:06:17.000 You guys do understand that it is about powerful countries have always been calling the shots.

01:06:21.000 We're in a very rare moment in history where Donald Trump didn't just act unilaterally.

01:06:26.000 The people of Venezuela are happy about it.

01:06:28.000 A huge portion of the American people are happy about it.

01:06:30.000 And they'll be happier about it when they see the results.

01:06:33.000 There was a reason for this.

01:06:35.000 But this idea that, oh, okay, all right, because everyone else said, yeah, truce.

01:06:39.000 No, it doesn't apply.

01:06:41.000 It's asinine.

01:06:42.000 Yes, power does matter.

01:06:43.000 Yeah.

01:06:44.000 It absolutely does.

01:06:45.000 And the fact that Canada is allowed to exist.

01:06:48.000 Let me, before we're going to go to Venetian get it in a minute.

01:06:51.000 This just ties them into pretzels because all these people in the EU, by the way, are now saying international law.

01:06:56.000 They were the ones telling you that Maduro had violated international law and something needed to be done.

01:07:01.000 Donald Trump's the only one who had the teeth to do it.

01:07:04.000 And now they go, that's violating international law.

01:07:06.000 So it doesn't mean anything.

01:07:07.000 Let me give you an example, a couple here.

01:07:10.000 So yeah, Maduro.

01:07:11.000 Okay, you saw that.

01:07:12.000 You saw what happened with Iran. 0.97

01:07:14.000 So let's just go right now with Venezuela.

01:07:17.000 Maduro.

01:07:18.000 All right.

01:07:18.000 Full moon night, by the way.

01:07:21.000 Just taken out.

01:07:22.000 Yeah, high visibility is a bad time to conduct.

01:07:24.000 In the biggest, I think, military compound in the country.

01:07:27.000 Venezuela.

01:07:27.000 So you would think that if they were going to use their military might to protect anything, it would be their leader, their glorified narco-terrorist, in the biggest military compound.

01:07:36.000 Same thing you would think with Iran, right? 0.93

01:07:38.000 If they were going to use their military might to protect anything, it would be the enrichment facility that would be required for them to build a nuke, which I wish I loved anything as much as Iran wants to build a nuke. 0.93

01:07:49.000 You would think so.

01:07:50.000 And they couldn't do a damn thing.

01:07:52.000 We went in, did what we needed to, got out, and none of our guys lost their lives.

01:07:57.000 It was very, very low cost, high yield.

01:08:00.000 Now that brings me to Canada.

01:08:01.000 In 1995, the prime minister of Canada was the victim of an assassination attempt.

01:08:06.000 I believe it was Jean-Cretien.

01:08:08.000 Do you know what happened?

01:08:09.000 A man made it through the perimeter into the prime minister's house, their White House equivalent, and made it up to the bedroom.

01:08:17.000 No.

01:08:17.000 What stopped him was the wife saw him out of the corner of her eye, closed the door and locked it.

01:08:28.000 And then called security, and he waited.

01:08:30.000 He had like a five-inch blade, by the way.

01:08:31.000 That's like a Swiss army knife.

01:08:32.000 Celia Flora should have locked the door. 1.00

01:08:35.000 She's like, hey, hey, there's the guy.

01:08:37.000 He's here.

01:08:37.000 He's here to kill my husband.

01:08:39.000 They're like, oh, sorry about that.

01:08:42.000 So if we could do this to Maduro, we're just allowing Canada to play country.

01:08:48.000 That's a lot of these countries, to be clear.

01:08:49.000 Do you have any idea how easy it would be?

01:08:51.000 That would be an imperialist nation, which, by the way, I'm okay with a little bit of conquest at this point because I think it does benefit the United States. 0.62

01:08:58.000 Let's go.

01:08:59.000 Just Canadians, you guys tell the people in the comment section that story, right?

01:09:03.000 Do I have it about right?

01:09:04.000 95, I think, Kretzy.

01:09:06.000 He made it up to the bedroom.

01:09:07.000 And the wife's like, ah, Carlis, there's a gate to kill us. 1.00

01:09:10.000 And he closed the door.

01:09:11.000 She closed the door.

01:09:12.000 And the guy outside is like, ah, tab.

01:09:16.000 It's blade.

01:09:17.000 You're right, though.

01:09:17.000 Power does matter because you see these pundits and people online, they're talking about, well, how about somebody comes and takes our president?

01:09:23.000 How about that?

01:09:24.000 I was like, okay, well, the difference is if somebody came and took our president, first of all, they can't.

01:09:28.000 They couldn't do it.

01:09:28.000 Right.

01:09:29.000 If they did do it, if they were able to do it, and then they did do it, we would immediately declare war and then destroy everything that they own.

01:09:36.000 Yes.

01:09:37.000 Venezuela's not doing that.

01:09:38.000 They were like, oh, thanks.

01:09:40.000 Yeah.

01:09:41.000 And now we can do our own thing.

01:09:42.000 Except the one, the leader of Colombia is like, come and get me, you coward.

01:09:46.000 It's like, I wouldn't say that.

01:09:47.000 It's almost exact same message.

01:09:48.000 Yeah, it's like I wouldn't have choice of words.

01:09:51.000 I would not challenge at this point.

01:09:54.000 This brings us to, let's do some then and now.

01:09:56.000 Right now, the EU is saying that we must uphold international law.

01:10:02.000 It's my generic sort of European law.

01:10:04.000 I like it.

01:10:05.000 This is from the EEAS.

01:10:07.000 The EU recalls that under all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be upheld.

01:10:13.000 Members of the United States Security Council have a particular responsibility to uphold those principles as a pillar of the international security architecture.

01:10:23.000 Let's go back to then, August 2024, the EU foreign policy chief Joseph Borrel discussing Maduro and the election.

01:10:30.000 He said, as there are no tallies and there is no verification and we fear that there will never be any, we cannot accept Maduro's legitimacy as Venezuela's president-elect.

01:10:40.000 Oh, great.

01:10:42.000 So what are you going to do about it?

01:10:43.000 Oh, nothing.

01:10:44.000 Then when someone does something, you say it's a violation of international law?

01:10:48.000 No, the violation took place by your own admission when they locked people out from voting.

01:10:54.000 Oh, I get it.

01:10:54.000 You're a pussy.

01:10:55.000 This brings us back to now.

01:10:57.000 Speaking of.

01:10:58.000 Senator Chris Murphy.

01:10:59.000 Yes.

01:11:00.000 Connecticut, Democrat, of course, is furious about Trump's actions.

01:11:04.000 International.

01:11:05.000 Once again, you're seeing that this president's foreign policy, the invasion of Venezuela, the ouster of Maduro, is about making his crowd filthy rich.

01:11:15.000 It has nothing to do with American national security.

01:11:18.000 This brings us back to then, January 2019.

01:11:24.000 Murphy's take was a little different.

01:11:25.000 He wrote, if Trump cared about consistency, he would make the realest case for intervention in Venezuela.

01:11:31.000 Getting rid of Maduro is good for the United States.

01:11:34.000 Rather than trying to pretend his administration all of a sudden cares about toppling anti-democratic regimes.

01:11:41.000 They did the same thing with Iran, right? 0.87

01:11:43.000 People go, well, if it's really about this with Iran, why aren't they doing it? 0.97

01:11:46.000 Insert whatever, Congo, whatever it is today.

01:11:49.000 They go, why isn't he doing this one?

01:11:50.000 Sit back then, they go, well, then why isn't he doing Venezuela?

01:11:53.000 All right, let's do Venezuela.

01:11:54.000 Well, why aren't you doing Cuba?

01:11:58.000 Let's do Cuba. 0.99

01:12:00.000 Well, why aren't you doing another place that I haven't thought of yet?

01:12:02.000 Just hate this guy.

01:12:04.000 You don't need to adapt to these charlatans.

01:12:08.000 Is this in the best interest of the United States?

01:12:10.000 Yes.

01:12:11.000 Does it also sting a little bit for China and Russia?

01:12:13.000 That's a bonus.

01:12:14.000 Both boxes checked.

01:12:16.000 Let's go back to now.

01:12:18.000 Tammy Duckworth.

01:12:22.000 That's from the Mighty Ducks.

01:12:24.000 Crack, crack, crack, crack, ducks fly together.

01:12:27.000 That was D2, the better film.

01:12:30.000 You get to really put knuckle puck on.

01:12:32.000 Two minutes well worth.

01:12:34.000 Triple deke.

01:12:35.000 All right.

01:12:35.000 By the way, that's not a move.

01:12:36.000 That's just what you do.

01:12:39.000 You're handling the puck.

01:12:40.000 So Tammy Duckworth called out President Trump's actions. 0.72

01:12:47.000 And by the way, also use the term foreign leader.

01:12:49.000 I've seen that a lot.

01:12:50.000 People like, the rightful president, sovereign, sovereign government.

01:12:57.000 She wrote, Donald Trump's reckless and unconstitutional operations in Venezuela.

01:13:02.000 Hey, why don't you tell the Venezuelans about constitutional operations, including this morning's arrest of a foreign leader.

01:13:11.000 But the international community said he wasn't an actual leader.

01:13:13.000 Are not about enforcing law and order because if they were, he wouldn't hide them from Congress.

01:13:18.000 Doesn't need you.

01:13:20.000 Maybe he's worried that Congress will tell.

01:13:22.000 Yeah, maybe he's worried that it's filled with bitches like you. 1.00

01:13:26.000 This brings us back to then.

01:13:28.000 This is still 2025.

01:13:29.000 It's not long ago.

01:13:30.000 In May, Duckworth described not as a foreign leader, but Venezuela as living under a dictatorship when Trump wanted to send Venezuelans who were here illegally back home.

01:13:40.000 It's just about Trump does it.

01:13:42.000 I say the opposite.

01:13:42.000 And by the way, it's not just Trump.

01:13:43.000 They did the same thing with Reagan.

01:13:45.000 It's, is this morally good or does this benefit the United States?

01:13:49.000 Nine times out of 10, if it is morally good or if it benefits the United States, the left will be against it.

01:13:57.000 Take note of the libertarians out there who line up on the same sides on almost all of those pivotal issues.

01:14:04.000 She wrote, this heartless Trump administration policy does nothing to make us safer.

01:14:08.000 It betrays our values and could needlessly send thousands back into Maduro's brutal dictatorship.

01:14:14.000 Wow.

01:14:15.000 Hell, well, well.

01:14:17.000 Yikes.

01:14:19.000 The Democrats and libertarians are so far gone that the voice of reason in their party is the guy with stroke face.

01:14:27.000 I respect my friend in Connecticut, but we have different views on this and perhaps other views as well.

01:14:35.000 Again, I just said this on my social media that, you know, remind everybody that America is a force of good, order, and democracy, and we are promoting these kinds of values.

01:14:47.000 We are the good guys, you know, that pretend that we are acting in a way.

01:14:52.000 Now, remember, we all Democrats years ago wanted to eliminate him.

01:14:57.000 And they, why, why have a bounty of $25 million if we didn't want him gone?

01:15:02.000 Why would you do these things if you weren't willing to actually do something other than harsh language?

01:15:08.000 Yeah.

01:15:09.000 He's absolutely right.

01:15:10.000 Yeah.

01:15:10.000 In summary, international law is not a thing.

01:15:12.000 Nope.

01:15:12.000 Okay.

01:15:13.000 It's imaginary.

01:15:14.000 It's fairy dust.

01:15:16.000 And thank God, the most powerful country on earth is the United States of America.

01:15:21.000 You think?

01:15:21.000 You think the Mongols?

01:15:23.000 You think the Ottomans?

01:15:24.000 You think the Romans would purchase the energy from the country that they could very easily conquer? 0.93

01:15:33.000 And now people go, oh, now we're going to move on to Greenland.

01:15:35.000 You know, if you cared about the Constitution, you wouldn't say this about Greenland.

01:15:37.000 Yeah, but you said that it was a brutal dictator in Venezuela.

01:15:40.000 And if Donald Trump really cared about actually helping people, he would go into Venezuela.

01:15:43.000 And then he did.

01:15:44.000 And you said, oh, if he actually cared, you constantly move the goalposts.

01:15:48.000 Be very, very vigilant.

01:15:50.000 And I mean this because obviously I live to, and this program exists to fight the left.

01:15:55.000 But they're in your ranks now.

01:15:56.000 Some very good indicators are, first of all, do they line up with the left on most issues?

01:16:00.000 Where do they line up on issues that benefit America or are morally good?

01:16:04.000 And do they constantly move goalposts?

01:16:07.000 That is a tactic of the left because their ideas don't stand up to scrutiny.

01:16:12.000 Whenever someone goes, hey, yeah, this conflict, but then why don't you do this here?

01:16:17.000 You have people who act as though they are experts in things that haven't happened yet.

01:16:21.000 And yes, I would include a friend of the show.

01:16:23.000 I enjoyed my conversation with him, Dave Smith amongst them.

01:16:26.000 It's always, someone's making a prediction, and they're never held accountable for these predictions.

01:16:31.000 The left is never held to account for their policies.

01:16:33.000 And the same thing with these libertarians.

01:16:34.000 There's going to be World War III.

01:16:35.000 Is it?

01:16:37.000 Is it?

01:16:38.000 Is anyone actually still trying to make the case that the Iranian strike, whether you agree with it or not, in principle, that it escalated things?

01:16:47.000 International law doesn't exist, but winning does, and turns out it's popular with Americans, according to my favorite person at CNN.

01:16:54.000 Okay, U.S. military ousting Maduro.

01:16:56.000 Pre-ousting, what you saw was the clear plurality of Americans opposed it.

01:17:00.000 47%, just 21% supported.

01:17:02.000 Come over to this side of the screen.

01:17:04.000 After the ousting, look at that.

01:17:05.000 The support.

01:17:07.000 Now we're talking about 37%.

01:17:08.000 Signature move.

01:17:09.000 Well within the margin of error right here of the opposition, 38%.

01:17:12.000 It turns out Americans like what they deem to be successful foreign policy operations.

01:17:18.000 And in this case, they view the ousting of Maduro, at least up to this point, as a success one, and therefore the support way up.

01:17:24.000 Yeah, before underwater, now basically even.

01:17:27.000 What about the idea of putting Maduro on trial here in the United States?

01:17:31.000 Yeah, you know, part of the reason why I think that the success number is way up and you saw it here.

01:17:36.000 What was it?

01:17:36.000 It was 26 points in favor of opposition and now within the margin of error is because they simply put don't like Nicholas Maduro.

01:17:44.000 And in fact, they believe that he should be on trial for drug trafficking.

01:17:47.000 Look at this.

01:17:47.000 50% of Americans favor compared to just 14% who oppose.

01:17:52.000 So there are very few Americans here who oppose it.

01:17:55.000 Even among Democrats, the opposition number is below, get this, just 24% is below 25%.

01:18:04.000 So this is something that unites Republicans.

01:18:06.000 It divides Democrats.

01:18:08.000 And at this particular point, support for the operation way up.

01:18:11.000 And in terms of those who favor the drug trafficking trial for Maduro, that is a clear plurality.

01:18:16.000 Yeah, so people who want to make you think, oh, this is divisive.

01:18:18.000 No, no, it's really not.

01:18:20.000 And this is something that's been pretty common.

01:18:21.000 The United States likes winning and we hate communists.

01:18:24.000 And I love that.

01:18:24.000 And he gets so enthusiastic, he can't even finish his phrases.

01:18:28.000 When we go to that next thing, it's like, hey, when will Venezuela hold the next presidential election?

01:18:33.000 According to Kelchie, before June 2027, it's going to be 71%.

01:18:36.000 But if it's before January 3, it's going to be 61%.

01:18:39.000 And then September.

01:18:39.000 Wow.

01:18:40.000 39%.

01:18:43.000 Before June 1st, 26%.

01:18:45.000 He doesn't even finish his phrases.

01:18:46.000 The guy gets so enthusiastic.

01:18:47.000 He just gets excited.

01:18:48.000 He loves numbers.

01:18:49.000 These prediction markets are like heaven for him.

01:18:51.000 He probably just cruises them all night.

01:18:53.000 Yeah.

01:18:53.000 He's probably making a killer.

01:18:55.000 And the truth is, I don't really care.

01:18:57.000 I mean, I do.

01:18:57.000 It has to be a government that is at least acquiescent to the United States where they don't screw us on our contract.

01:19:01.000 We invest billions of dollars.

01:19:02.000 You can't have a government do that.

01:19:03.000 But outside of that, you know what?

01:19:05.000 Maybe they want to be a part of the free market economy and do better and improve the quality of life for their citizens, or maybe they don't.

01:19:12.000 That's not our business.

01:19:14.000 Our business is ensuring that our interests are secured and China's and Russia's are not. 0.99

01:19:20.000 Which brings us to the third loser here: Canada.

01:19:24.000 This is a big one, and it puts a smile on my face.

01:19:27.000 So, the oil, obviously, the kind of oil in Venezuela also is very close to that of Canada.

01:19:33.000 Canada needs us to refine their oil.

01:19:35.000 They produce a lot of it, but it's crude.

01:19:36.000 This could be a huge problem for Canada.

01:19:40.000 Guess they should have built those pipelines. 0.91

01:19:42.000 For decades now, Canada's oil patch has prospered from the decline of Venezuela's industry.

01:19:47.000 Now, that same industry could pose a new competitive threat.

01:19:50.000 We went to Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Canada.

01:19:54.000 Lino Carrillo was one of hundreds of highly trained workers who ended up in Alberta and there the pitcher from Alberta is identical to the pitcher in the Orinoco target.

01:20:06.000 Identical.

01:20:07.000 If Venezuela's oil were to start flowing again at the level it once did, it could pose a problem for Canada, especially given its ease of access to Gulf Coast refineries.

01:20:16.000 You'll just pull a tanker up, unload, and then you're kind of competing directly with Canadian barrels.

01:20:21.000 Yeah, 90% of Canada's crude oil was exported to the United States.

01:20:25.000 Well, so now they're definitely going to be looking at cheaper costs.

01:20:28.000 They're going to have to compete, and it could drive them out of the market.

01:20:31.000 Also, Chinese refiners, the refineries that are going to be hurt as well.

01:20:35.000 So, this is really a net, as far as oil, only a net benefit really to the United States, the people of Venezuela, not so much to Canada, who screwed around and found out, not so much to China, and not so much to Russia because there's more global access to oil.

01:20:49.000 There are a lot of wins going on right now as far as immigration, as far as oil, as far as our standing in the world.

01:20:56.000 That was something where people said, You have any idea we're going to be a laughingstock.

01:21:00.000 I'm not seeing that.

01:21:01.000 We have a direct contrast.

01:21:02.000 And I kept telling you guys this: you're going to have eight years of Obama, four years of Donald Trump, three really, COVID's a lost year, four years of Biden, and now we're having Donald Trump again.

01:21:12.000 I don't know that we've ever in history had a more clear example of contrast in American approaches.

01:21:19.000 I'm not talking about nice feelings.

01:21:21.000 I'm talking about getting things done.

01:21:24.000 What do you think history is going to say about Donald Trump versus Joe Biden and our approach?

01:21:30.000 What do you think history will say about Maduro, about Chavez?

01:21:34.000 What do you think the history books will say about the Bernie Sanders, the Sean Pennsylvania, the Oliver Stones of the world who praised Chavez, who praised, by the way, the Castros and did nothing while those people starved, while those people lost weight, while they were driven into abject poverty?

01:21:49.000 The only questions that remain is: hey, what kind of a government are they going to have?

01:21:53.000 Do we think it could be any worse?

01:21:55.000 Are we going to need boots on the ground?

01:21:56.000 Well, does that necessarily mean war?

01:21:58.000 We don't know those things yet, but we do know that the calculus from the people who've been screaming the sky is falling, whether it's Iran, whether it's Venezuela, I mean Canada as well, they've been wrong about pretty much all of their predictions thus far.

01:22:12.000 So I'll take a win here and there.

01:22:15.000 And I forgot this.

01:22:16.000 We're actually, if you're not a member yet, by the way, please do consider sitting up.

01:22:19.000 We're going to take your chat because we were gone for a couple of weeks.

01:22:23.000 You click that button, it's $99 a year or try for $9.99 a month, but you don't get this wonderful hand-etched mug.

01:22:30.000 And we don't just say that.

01:22:31.000 And then you sign up and then you get more ads that are unskippable, like Netflix.

01:22:35.000 It's worse than cable.

01:22:36.000 At least with TiVo, I could record it and fast forward.

01:22:38.000 Oh my God, it's just awful.

01:22:40.000 Do consider joining up because we are funded entirely by viewers like you and like a sponsor a day.

01:22:49.000 In the middle of this, we had two.

01:22:51.000 We didn't know where to fit it, but it's fun.

01:22:53.000 It's another time to close.

01:22:54.000 This time for that piece of shit, Maduro.

01:22:57.000 Elecione Presidencial Teres Elijah Anicola Maduro, like President of the República Bolitariana de Venezuela.

01:23:08.000 Time to close.

01:23:11.000 Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.
