Podcast appearances and mentions of nicolas maduro

On the 3rd of January this year, Venezuela's President, Nicolas Maduro, was removed from office by a US military intervention. He was flown to the United States to face charges of drug trafficking and partnering with terrorist groups, charges he denies. His leadership and that of his predecessor and mentor Hugo Chavez saw Venezuela move from being an oil rich, prosperous country to a country which was heavily sanctioned and under investigation by the International Criminal Court. Maduro's Vice President, Delcy Rodriguez, has now succeeded him as acting president. Some Venezuelans feel that she represents only continuity with Chavismo, the political system Hugo Chavez created. Others feel that Rodriguez will be forced to adapt in order to survive. Jorge Perez and Alicia Hernandez of BBC Mundo have been following what is happening in Venezuela closely.Snow leopards are beautiful, yet elusive creatures. They like to live high up in snowy mountains, including certain areas in the Indian Himalayas.

Ashay Yedge of BBC Marathi recently traveled to the world's second-highest village to speak to them about their work. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world.

1912 WILLIAM JENNINGS  RBYAN SPEECHAnatol Lieven examines Europe's missing voice in Kremlin negotiations, highlighting hurdles like sanctions relief and Russia's demand for Ukrainian withdrawal from the contested Donbass territory. 1.Anatol Lieven questions the lack of a clear strategy for US naval fleets near Iran, hoping for diplomatic compromise and economic opening rather than war. 2.Arthur Herman contrasts the Scottish Enlightenment's focus on liberty with the French "general will," arguing that collectivism historically descends into state violence and tyranny. 3.Arthur Herman argues that the American worldview rests on three Scottish pillars: unity of knowledge, common sense, and the harmonious integration of modern scientific discovery with ancient religious revelation. 4.John Yoo reports that in a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that the IEEPA does not grant the president power to impose universal tariffs without explicit Congressional authorization. 5.John Yoo argues that the tariff ruling proves the Court is not a partisan tool, but an independent body upholding constitutional boundaries and judicial ideology. 6.Mary Anastasia O'Grady describes Cuba's regime reaching its limits, discussing the difficulty of replacing the leadership without causing total societal chaos, looting, or a power vacuum. 7.Doug Messier reports that persistent thruster failures and engineering incompetence have marred Boeing's Starlinerprogram, leaving astronauts marooned and NASA heavily dependent on SpaceX for crewed orbital missions. 8.Professor Evan Ellis reports that the death of kingpin Nemesio Cervantes triggered nationwide gunplay and roadblocks in Mexico, highlighting cartel dominance and the personal nature of the security forces' fight. 9.Professor Evan Ellis reports that a deadly clash between Cuban forces and an American speedboat underscores the island's dire economic crisis and massive blackouts caused by severe, ongoing petroleum shortages. 10.Professor Evan Ellis reports that the US allows Venezuelan oil resale to Cuba's private sector to empower citizens, while Nicolas Maduro faces criminal proceedings in a formal New York courtroom. 11.Professor Evan Ellis reports that constant leadership turnover in Peru complicates governance, raising fears that China's Chancay port could serve military logistics for the People's Liberation Army during wartime. 12.Josiah Hesse explores Mason City's religious history, linking the Music Man allegory to the Scopes trial and traveling preachers who exploited regional evangelical fervor. 13.Josiah Hesse describes his parents' journey through the apocalyptic 1970s Jesus movement into a prosperity gospel church that resulted in extreme poverty and financial disillusionment. 14.Josiah Hesse reports that Paul Weyrich used abortion as a wedge issue to mobilize evangelical voters, successfully aligning Iowa's religious community with the Republican Party during Reagan's campaign. 15.Josiah Hesse recounts the psychological fear of his religious upbringing while observing how Donald Trump's populism continues to resonate deeply with modern Iowa evangelical voters. 16.

Last night's State of the Union exposed a shocking reality: Democrats refused to stand for key moments Americans can agree on. From criminal justice and military achievements to protecting children and economic wins, the contrast was stark. Republicans stood and applauded, while Democrats sat, glared, and refused to acknowledge success. We break down the most viral, jaw-dropping moments that should be seen by every American.

Last night’s State of the Union Address was, though indirectly, in many ways largely indicative of the ‘State of our Union’; irascible, beleaguered, gaslighted, schizophrenic. Despite getting sidetracked for a bit on today’s episode, below you’ll find my extensive coverage of last night’s SOTU, including a timestamped breakdown of my live observations while watching.

Claim Rebuttal Source Rebuttal ‘$18 trillion’ in investments CNN’s Daniel Dale “…the White House’s own website said the figure for “major investment announcements” during this Trump term was “$9.7 trillion,” and even that is a major exaggeration; a detailed CNN review in [Oct 2025] found [WH counting trillions in] vague investment pledges, pledges that were about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” rather than investment in the US and vague statements that didn’t even rise to the level of pledges.” Low gas prices (2.30, 1.99, 1.85) CNN’s Daniel Dale According to AAA: only 2 states w/ avg < $2.50/gal; GasBuddy: 4:150k (.003%) gas stations w/ gas < $2/gal Inherited record inflation CNN’s Daniel Dale Dec, 2024 Y-O-Y inflation (CPI): 2.9% Inherited stagnant economy CNN’s Daniel Dale False (see details) Passed largest tax cuts (GBBB) in American history CNN’s Tami Luhby “It ranks seventh in terms of share of GDP since 1918, according to Chris Towner, policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group.” Biden allowed ‘11,888 murderers’ to enter US as migrants CNN’s Daniel Dale ““11,888” number is about non-citizens who entered the US not just under Biden but over the course of multiple decades, including during Trump’s own first administration.” Foreign countries are paying T47 tariffs CNN’s Daniel Dale “In an analysis released in February, officials at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York wrote, “We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.”…[CBO] wrote in a February report that “the net effect of tariffs is to raise U.S. consumer prices by the full portion of the cost of the tariffs borne domestically (95 percent)”…” Fraud in Minnesota CNN’s Daniel Dale “…Walz admin official said in December that they had “evidence of tens of millions of dollars in fraud to this point,” not $9[/18/19] billion…” US elections claims CNN’s Daniel Dale Disputed (see details) More Americans are working today than ever CNN’s Daniel Dale “The labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the population that is employed or actively looking for work, has been almost unchanged…” Ended eight wars CNN’s Daniel Dale Largely disputed (see details) Achieved no tax on Social Security CNN’s Tami Luhby Disputed, misleading (see details) Balancing the federal budget by ending fraud CNN’s Tami Luhby 2024 GAO estimate “found that [$233–521B] is lost to fraud annually. But the federal budget deficit came in at just under $1.8 trillion for the most recent fiscal year, which ended in September, according to the Treasury Department – more than triple the highest estimated fraud total.” #Contemporaneous Notes Duration: 01:47:43 (longest SOTU in history – breaking the modern record he set last year.)

! JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking for this week's Astro News You Can Use, including a look at former Prince Andrew's sudden arrest & how the Epstein scandal has reached the level of crimes against humanity at the United Nations!This podcast discusses how the Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse on Feb 17 challenges now us to plant seeds that can blossom into the birth of a new, more humanitarian future-oriented ideology. It told us too, however, that it's the ideologues who, rather than believe in an ideology founded on a system of ideas and ideals--especially ones which form the basis of economic or political theory and policy--instead are often blindly partisan advocates or adherents of a particular ideology.And, since this eclipse had both luminaries in Aquarius square their ruler Uranus in Taurus, it's highlighted that a change in values is most definitely overdue. Uranus is the planet that tells us that the only constant is change. And, that the longer we resist change, the more likely change will occur in a sudden, surprising, or shocking way.So, the universe is asking us now several things if we look back & review the past few lunations. It obvious now that it asked us at the December 19 Sagittarius New Moon to plant seeds that lead to bringing into collective consciousness what we believe to be truly moral, ethical, & just.Meanwhile, the Capricorn New Moon on January 18 highlighted the need for us to stand our ground, or draw the line if you will since Saturn-ruled Capricorn loves its boundaries, in the fight against tyrannical idealogues who don't believe in upholding justice for all.Now, since this February 17 Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse—which carries several themes we're already seeing playing out not only here in America but worldwide—it's time for us to review our true ideological beliefs & decide whether they are about a future of betterment for all of mankind or only for a entitled few.Former Prince Andrew's arrest on February 19, which also happened to be his 66th birthday, shocked the world given his royal lineage. However, it showed us that no one is immune from finding justice through the legal system.This podcast looks at Andrew's natal chart & dissects how his Chiron in late Aquarius conjunct his 8th House Pisces Sun—along with his Scorpio Moon square to them both—reveals the origin of his woundedness in relationships in general & with females in particular. We also discuss his history of sexual obsession from the time he was a young teen.Meanwhile, however, the Epstein scandal—spurred mostly by the release of three million documents related to him—has gone international in other ways as well, since it's reached the level of concern for the United Nations.“In a statement on Monday, the independent experts – who serve in their individual capacities under mandates from the UN Human Rights Council and are not UN staff – warned that the alleged acts documented in the files could amount to some of the gravest crimes under international law.“The reported conduct could amount to sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance, torture, inhuman and degrading treatment, and femicide, according to the experts.“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said.” IS AMERICA AT A TURNING POINT, AND IF SO, IS IT “UNITED WE STAND” OR “DIVIDED WE FALL?”Meanwhile, other shocks & surprises occurred as well, including the sad news of the death of Jesse Jackson, “American civil rights activist, politician, and ordained Baptist minister. A protégé of Martin Luther King Jr. and James Bevel during the civil rights movement, he became one of the most prominent civil rights leaders of the late 20th and early 21st centuries,” according to Wikipedia.Then there's the ongoing stalemate in the partial U.S. government shutdown as GOP ideologues continue to block the Democrat's request to make modifications to Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) & Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) agents as they continue to violate due process & the 4th Amendment.   No surprise that the partial government shutdown took place as Saturn (read: resistance) entered Mars-ruled Aries, the archetypal energy of motivation & action. There's this from Thom Hartmann, Feb 17: The American Revolution Started Over This Kind of Abuse: Have We Forgotten? Once the government decides who qualifies for Fourth Amendment protection, rights stop being rights and start being privileges handed out by those in power…”“This fight isn't really about immigration,” Hartmann explains. “It's about whether the Constitution still restrains government power at all. When elected officials call it a ‘nonstarter' to require federal agents to get a judicial warrant before kicking in doors, to give people bail or a trial before they face long-term prison, and to allow protests, they're not debating border policy, they're testing whether the Bill of Rights is still binding or has become merely decorative.“The Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”SATURN/NEPTUNE CONJOIN IN MARS-RULED ARIES: WAR INLAND & ON THE SEAS?And now we find ourselves on the threshold of the new Saturn/Neptune cycle as the two meet on February 20 in Aries, kicking off a astrological energy that will last for the next 36 years.This as Donald Trump has threatened to staunch the free flow of information concerning voting & voting rights by threatening to limit who can vote & define who can't. All based on the fact that he's an ideologue who, in combination with his many lies, seems to truly believe he lost the 2020 presidential election due to fraud inherent in the voting process. And then there's his threats now to go to war with Iran. Remember, Saturn represents foundations that allow us to feel secure, while Neptune is water, among other things. In Mars-ruled Aries, with the naval building up near Iran, it's clear that Trump's threats involve invading Iran represent a transgression of such boundaries.Like his illegal bombing of boats in the Caribbean & Pacific oceans suspected (but not proven) to be carrying illegal drugs, & his midnight military invasion of Venezuela & the kidnapping of its leader Nicolas Maduro & his wife, this most recent threat to Iran—likely endorsed by Israel's Netanyahu since the two met recently in Washington, D.C.—seems to be based also on Trump's fixed ideological notion that he is the king, not only of America, but of the world.Pushback has already begun as a War Powers Resolution has been introduced in Congress, stated that only they have the ability to declare & not the president alone. Tensions will likely grow as we approach the February 24 first quarter lunar square of the Gemini Moon to the Pisces Sun (since the Sun entered Pisces on February 18, the day after the Aquarius solar eclipse.)The Moon (the people) will likely continue to communicate (Gemini) their concerns with the president's (Sun) vaguely articulated plans to invade yet another sovereign nation that has not declared war against the U.S.MERCURY RETROGRADE IN PISCES: REVIEW TIME!When Mercury stations retrograde at 22'34” Pisces on February 24, we've the opportunity to review several things, the first of which is what is the emotional quality of our lives? Given the state of the sluggish growth in the U.S. economy based on the negative results of Mercury-related tariffs on trade & the cost of goods, Trump's refusal to allow the opening a second major trade route from Michigan to Canada in the form of the Gordie Howe Bridge, we see there's much to review…There is also, of course, the ability of “local” communities to continue their protests against ICE & CPB as the courts have become overwhelmed by the number of habeas corpus & other rights violation cases by both citizens & immigrants—both legal & illegal—alike.As we wait the exact square of Mars in Aquarius to Uranus in Taurus, keep an eye out for any sudden martial or military action based on the beliefs of ideologues such as Trump & the kakistocracy government he's put into place this past year. The signs say it will be sudden and, given the involvement of Mars, potentially violent…Tune in to hear more, including where this Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse fell in both Washington, D.C. & in the U.S. Sibly birth charts & what that portends @https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingSee you then! Namaste…

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US military is stationing a vast array of forces in the Middle East, including two aircraft carriers, fighter jets and refueling tankers, with President Trump saying that Iran had 10 to 15 days at most to strike a deal over its nuclear program. “We’re either going to get a deal, or it’s going to be unfortunate for them,” Trump told reporters Thursday aboard Air Force One. On a deadline, Trump said he thought 10 to 15 days was “pretty much” the “maximum” he would allow for negotiations to continue. The deployment is unlike anything the US has done since 2003, when it amassed forces before the invasion of Iraq. It dwarfs the military buildup that Trump ordered off the coast of Venezuela in the weeks before he ousted President Nicolas Maduro. While the US isn’t likely to deploy ground troops, the buildup suggests Trump is giving himself discretion to launch a sustained campaign lasting many days, in cooperation with Israel.2) President Trump declared victory in the fight over cost-of-living concerns, signaling a new approach that seeks to deny problems with his economic agenda while touting stock market gains to insist that his tariff plans have been a success. Pocketbook issues have emerged as the central focus of the upcoming November congressional elections with households hit hard by costs for groceries, utilities and housing. Polls show voters have soured on Trump’s economic policies, endangering Republicans’ hold on both chambers of Congress and the future of the president’s legislative agenda. Trump and allies have highlighted slowing inflation and job growth that has come in above expectations, but that has failed to assuage voters, and opened the door for Democrats who have seized on that discontent to boost their midterm prospects.3) Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of the UK’s King Charles, was released under investigation on Thursday after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The Thames Valley Police confirmed it had released a Norfolk man in his sixties, without mentioning the former royal by name. Last week, the police force said it was leading the assessment of allegations tied to the US Department of Justice’s publication of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. King Charles III issued a statement outlining his “deepest concern” about the matter and promising Buckingham Palace’s “full and wholehearted support and co-operation” with the investigating authorities. The arrest of Andrew, who turned 66 on Thursday, heaps further embarrassment on Britain’s royal family following years of lurid allegations about ties with Epstein that the former prince has consistently denied. His arrest appears to be the first of a UK royal since King Charles I in the 17th century following his defeat in the English Civil War.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En Bolivie, une commission contre l'impunité en matière de délits sexuels contre les mineurs doit se mettre au travail début mars 2026, trois ans après que le pays a été secoué par une affaire au sein de l'Église catholique. Mais la méthode choisie laisse certaines victimes sceptiques. Le scandale éclate en avril 2023 quand El Pais publie des extraits du journal intime d'un prêtre, le père Pica. Il y reconnaît avoir agressé 85 enfants entre 1972 et 2000, essentiellement quand il était directeur d'un pensionnat jésuite à Cochabamba, dans le centre de la Bolivie. Mais ce n'est qu'en septembre 2025 que deux dirigeants de la Compagnie de Jésus sont condamnés par la justice bolivienne à un an de prison chacun pour avoir couvert ces crimes. C'est bien peu, se désolent alors les victimes. D'autant que le père Pica, lui, est mort en 2009. Durcir les peines est l'un des objectifs de la commission, indique Marine de La Moissonnière, du service International de RFI. Celle-ci va enquêter sur tous les cas d'agressions sexuelles contre des mineurs qui n'ont pas été jugés ou qui sont prescrits pour comprendre ce qui s'est passé, si certaines personnes ont volontairement traîné des pieds ou détourner le regard.   Des victimes vigilantes Mais en face, les victimes ne sont pas très enthousiastes. Elles sont échaudées par de précédentes initiatives, de précédents cas comme celui du père Lucho Roma, un autre prêtre espagnol qui a abusé de dizaines d'enfants en Bolivie. L'Église a enquêté longuement mais n'a rien fait de ses sombres découvertes. Le parquet, lui, avait classé l'affaire faute, soi-disant, de retrouver des victimes. « La Compagnie de Jésus s'est dotée de lignes d'écoute et de dispositifs pour recueillir la parole de victimes. Mais tout cela n'a débouché que sur davantage d'impunité, reproche Wilder Flores, président de l'association La Communauté bolivienne des survivants, interrogé par Carlos Pizarro, de la rédaction en espagnol de RFI. Souvent, ce genre de commissions, c'est juste "beaucoup de bruit pour rien". On peut même parler d'un engagement de façade. Donc on va être très vigilants. On espère vraiment que cette commission n'a pas été créée pour mettre tout sous le tapis. » En ce qui concerne la perpétuité, Wilder Flores y est favorable. Mais selon lui, les complices des auteurs d'agressions sexuelles sur des enfants devraient, eux aussi, être passibles de cette peine. Il appelle tous les Boliviens ayant connaissance de cas de pédophilie, à parler. Mais selon lui, il faut qu'ils s'adressent directement à la justice, pas aux autorités ecclésiastiques.   Au Venezuela, des chavistes rongés par le doute Au Venezuela, la loi d'amnistie promise il y a trois semaines par la présidente par intérim Delcy Rodriguez a été promulguée hier, quelques minutes après avoir été adoptée à l'unanimité par les députés. Mais les journaux se font l'écho des réserves émises au sujet de cette amnistie, et notamment celles de l'opposant Juan Pablo Guanipa. Pour lui, le texte promulgué « est un document frauduleux qui cherche à faire chanter de nombreux Vénézuéliens innocents et qui exclut plusieurs frères qui sont encore injustement derrière les barreaux ». C'est ce qu'il a déclaré dans un communiqué que relaie La Patilla. Pendant ce temps, certains partisans du régime chaviste sont rongés par le doute, près de deux mois après l'enlèvement de Nicolas Maduro et de son épouse Cilia Flores. C'est à lire cette fois dans TalCual. Deux femmes employées dans un ministère qui discutent à voix basse dans un café de Caracas. Elles disent être des révolutionnaires très honorables. Ce qui ne les empêche pas de se poser mille questions : « Se pourrait-il qu'il y ait eu trahison ? Qui aurait pu être le traître ? Et Delcy, de quel côté est-elle ? » Beaucoup d'autres citoyens qui sont ou étaient chavistes, trouvent les événements récents étranges, paradoxaux, écrit TalCual. Alors ils doutent, même si on leur a dit que douter, c'était trahir. Il y a ceux aussi qui se demandent si Nicolas Maduro était vraiment le meilleur dirigeant pour le pays. C'est le cas de Perla, qui se souvient de la joie qu'elle avait ressentie lors de l'élection d'Hugo Chavez en 1999. Et sa déception après celle de Nicolas Maduro. Pour Perla, cette élection a été le début des désastres : l'inflation, les pénuries, la faim... Et en ce qui la concerne, la dépression. Un matin de 2021, Perla n'a pas réussi à sortir de son lit. Elle a démissionné et elle s'est consacrée à ses enfants et sa communauté. Aujourd'hui, cinq ans plus tard donc, la seule chose qui la rend heureuse, c'est cette libération des prisonniers politiques.   La loi préférée de l'ICE Aux États-Unis, les policiers de l'immigration ont ressorti des oubliettes une loi qui leur permet de placer en détention des citoyens états-uniens. C'est l'article 18 USC 111, qui interdit d'agresser, de résister, de s'opposer, d'entraver ou d'intimider un agent fédéral dans l'exercice de ses fonctions. Les agents de l'ICE l'invoquent à tour de bras à Minneapolis, Chicago ou Los Angeles, toutes ces villes où les habitants s'organisent face aux opérations d'expulsion. C'est à lire sur le site de CNN qui consacre une longue enquête à ce sujet. Depuis le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche, elle a été invoquée 580 fois. C'est 40% de plus que durant l'année précédente, lorsque Joe Biden était encore président. Le département de la Sécurité intérieure se justifie en affirmant que la violence contre ses agents est sans précédent. Mais sur 22 poursuites engagées en vertu de cet article 18 USC 111, 16 ont fini classées sans suite. Ce qui fait dire aux experts que l'administration Trump interprète la loi de manière extrêmement large, avec des conséquences inquiétantes pour la liberté d'expression et le droit de manifester. Sur le site du New Yorker, enfin, vous lirez l'histoire de Manuela et Ivan. L'histoire de deux immigrés équatoriens vivant dans le Queens, à New York, qui s'est effondrée quand Ivan a été arrêté par l'ICE. C'était à 7h49 le matin du 27 janvier. Une histoire singulière, dramatique, et désormais tristement banale.   Eau en sachets en Haïti : attention danger En Haïti, confronté à la violence des gangs et à une insécurité alimentaire chronique, un autre danger pèse sur la population : l'eau contaminée. Une enquête du ministère du Commerce et de l'Industrie a révélé que près de 92% des eaux consommées en Haïti, surtout l'eau vendue en sachets, sont contaminées aux bactéries coliformes, qui indiquent une présence de matières fécales. Mais à Port-au-Prince, l'eau en sachets se vend toujours. Depuis l'enquête, aucune mesure concrète n'a été annoncée, alors que les professionnels de la santé continuent d'alerter sur les risques pour la population. Reportage de notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama.

Voici un résumé sur la récente manifestation pro-Maduro à Caracas. Here is a summary of the recent pro-Maduro demonstration in Caracas.Les partisans du gouvernement exigent le retour de l'ancien président Nicolas Maduro parce qu'ils sont convaincus qu'il a été capturé par les États-Unis. Government supporters demand the return of former president Nicolas Maduro because they are convinced he was captured by the United States.Alors, premier point : l'ampleur et le message de la manif. So, first point: the scale and message of the protest.On parle de milliers de personnes, surtout des employés du secteur public, qui défilaient dans le centre de Caracas. We are talking about thousands of people, mostly public sector employees, marching in central Caracas.Ils scandaient des slogans comme « le Venezuela a besoin de Nicolas ». They chanted slogans like "Venezuela needs Nicolas."Ils ont même déployé un grand drapeau avec une photo de Maduro et de sa femme et ce message en anglais : « Bring them back ». They even displayed a large flag with a photo of Maduro and his wife and this message in English: "Bring them back."Deuxième point : la rhétorique anti-américaine. Second point: anti-American rhetoric.La manif, c'était clairement une démonstration d'opposition à ce que les participants considèrent comme l'ingérence des États-Unis. The protest was clearly a demonstration of opposition to what the participants consider to be interference by the United States.Le fils de Maduro, Nicolas Maduro Guerra, qu'on surnomme « Nicolasito », a vraiment galvanisé la foule. Maduro's son, Nicolas Maduro Guerra, nicknamed "Nicolasito," really galvanized the crowd.Son message, c'était que le peuple vénézuélien a développé une profonde conscience anti-impérialiste et qu'ils ne sont pas américains. His message was that the Venezuelan people have developed a deep anti-imperialist consciousness and that they are not American.Et enfin, troisième point clé : les actions du gouvernement par intérim. And finally, the third key point: the actions of the interim government.Depuis la chute de Maduro, la présidente par intérim, Delcy Rodriguez, a fait plusieurs concessions importantes aux États-Unis. Since Maduro's fall, interim president Delcy Rodriguez has made several important concessions to the United States.Sous la pression de Washington, elle a promis une loi d'amnistie, une réforme de la justice et même une ouverture du secteur pétrolier au privé. Under pressure from Washington, she has promised an amnesty law, justice reform, and even the opening of the oil sector to the private sector. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we cover a remarkable operation that recently took place in Venezuela, where President Trump commended our military's success in capturing fugitive president Nicolas Maduro with minimal bloodshed. John reflects on the significance of this event and the bravery of those involved, highlighting the strength and capability of the U.S. military.The show features an insightful conversation with House Administration Committee Chairman Brian Steil, who shares alarming findings from election integrity reports regarding the upcoming 2024 election. As concerns mount over potential irregularities, Chairman Steil discusses the critical Save America Act, which aims to ensure voter registration checks and ID requirements, marking a significant step in the fight for election integrity.In the second segment, former ICE Director Mark Morgan joins John to discuss the conclusion of the first phase of President Trump's immigration crackdown and offers a glimpse into what phase two might entail. With millions of illegal immigrants still in the country, Morgan outlines strategies for future enforcement.The episode also addresses the current state of the economy, featuring Shannon Davis from American Alternative Assets, who analyzes recent job creation numbers and GDP growth. While optimism is rising, Davis warns of potential pitfalls, particularly in the commercial real estate market, and discusses the implications of central bank digital currencies on privacy and spending autonomy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

durée : 00:22:19 - Cultures Monde - par : Mélanie Chalandon, Julie Gacon - La crise s'aggrave à Cuba, asphyxiée par les pénuries et une saignée démographique qui a vu un quart de la population quitter l'île depuis 2021. Après la chute de son allié vénézuélien Nicolas Maduro, grand fournisseur de pétrole, la situation se dégrade encore un peu plus. - réalisation : Vivian Lecuivre - invités : Jean-Philippe Rémy Grand reporter au journal Le Monde

Venezuela went from being one of Latin America's wealthiest countries to an economic disaster. More than 7 million Venezuelans have fled the country . And despite having the largest proven oil reserves in the world, daily oil production stands at a measly 500,000 barrels per day. Meanwhile, Ex President Maduro sits in a NY jail awaiting trial as a narco terrorist.

En Haïti, l'Unicef estime que les enrôlements d'enfants par les gangs ont triplé en un an et qu'aujourd'hui, les moins de 18 ans représenteraient jusqu'à la moitié de leurs membres. Plus de 80% de Port-au-Prince sont aux mains des gangs. Mais qui compose ces groupes criminels ? Comment sont-ils recrutés ? Et peuvent-ils en sortir ? D'après les chiffres de l'Unicef, 30 à 50 % d'entre eux ont moins de 18 ans. Ils sont donc des milliers à avoir été recrutés de force. Et seule une poignée d'entre eux parvient parfois à en sortir. Dans la capitale, un « centre de transit » pour enfants et adolescents les accompagne pour les aider à se réinsérer dans la société haïtienne. Un reportage de Justine Fontaine et Achim Lippold. Au-delà de ces enfants qui échappent aux gangs, les autres ne sont pas non plus épargnés par les violences. Au contraire. Beaucoup sont traumatisés, non seulement par les groupes criminels mais aussi par la police. C'est ce qu'explique Patrick Joseph, qui œuvre en tant que travailleur social dans plusieurs quartiers sous contrôle des gangs. Il a déménagé avec sa famille à quatre reprises ces dernières années. « Ce qui est difficile, c'est de se réveiller le matin sans savoir à quoi s'attendre ni ce que l'enfant va voir sur le chemin. Un jour, mon fils a vu trois, quatre cadavres sur la route de l'école. Quand je suis allé le chercher, il m'a demandé si l'on avait retiré les corps qu'il avait vus par terre », raconte Patrick Joseph au micro de RFI. La question de la police haïtienne est justement abordée par Le Nouvelliste, qui appelle à se pencher sur son fonctionnement. Il faut sauver son âme pour sauver la République, estime le rédacteur en chef du quotidien, Frantz Duval. Le Nouvelliste nous parle aussi de la volonté de la mairie de Delmas de détruire les constructions illégales qui empiètent sur les trottoirs. Nouveau revers judiciaire pour Donald Trump La presse du continent nous conduit aussi aux États-Unis, où Donald Trump vient d'enregistrer une nouvelle défaite sur le terrain judiciaire. Un grand jury de Washington a refusé mardi (10 février 2026) d'inculper six élus démocrates, deux sénateurs et quatre membres de la Chambre qui, en novembre 2025, avaient appelé l'armée à désobéir « aux ordres illégaux ». Cela avait déclenché la fureur de Donald Trump qui les avait accusés sur son réseau Truth Social de trahison, et réclamé la peine de mort. Et aux États-Unis, aujourd'hui, quand le président ordonne, le ministère de la Justice exécute. « De nos jours, écrit le Washington Post, personne au ministère de la Justice n'a la réputation ou le courage de dissuader efficacement le président de donner des ordres contre-productifs ou illégaux. C'est pourquoi les procureurs ont tenté de faire ce que Trump leur demandait. » Le FBI a commencé à enquêter. Le bureau du procureur de Washington a tenté de faire inculper les six élus. Il a affirmé qu'ils avaient enfreint une loi interdisant toute atteinte à la loyauté, au moral ou à la discipline des forces armées. Sauf qu'une telle loi, estime le Washington Post, « violerait évidemment le Premier Amendement », celui sur la liberté d'expression, « si elle criminalisait les discours politiques exhortant les membres de l'armée à respecter la loi ». « La provocation politique n'est pas un crime, rappelle le quotidien. Les membres du Congrès doivent pouvoir critiquer l'utilisation de l'armée par le pouvoir exécutif. ». Échec donc. Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'un grand jury rejette une telle demande d'inculpation. C'est même de plus en plus fréquent depuis le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche. C'est ce que relève le New York Times. Pourtant, rappelle le quotidien, ces jurys composés de citoyens ordinaires étaient jusque-là plutôt connus pour suivre les demandes des procureurs. Ou, comme l'écrit ironiquement The Nation, pour leur capacité à « inculper un sandwich au jambon ». Mais ça, c'était avant. Aujourd'hui, titre l'hebdomadaire, « les grands jurys sauvent la démocratie ». Car avant l'épisode de mardi, d'autres grands jurys locaux ont refusé d'inculper la procureure générale de New York ou des citoyens surveillant les opérations de l'ICE à Chicago. Au Venezuela, le pari d'Harry Sargeant et l'espoir d'une jeune femme En visite au Venezuela, le ministre états-unien de l'Énergie Chris Wright a promis une « hausse spectaculaire » de la production de pétrole. Cela ferait bien les affaires du magnat de l'Énergie Harry Sargeant, qui lorgne depuis des années sur les réserves du pays et qui est donc en passe de remporter son pari. Le Wall Street Journal consacre un long portrait à ce milliardaire de 68 ans qui, avant le raid du 3 janvier conduisant à l'enlèvement de Nicolas Maduro, était le seul à faire régulièrement la navette entre la résidence floridienne de Donald Trump et le palais présidentiel vénézuélien. Au point que le président déchu le surnommait affectueusement « abuelo » - « grand-père ». Au point aussi que l'activiste vénézuélien Thor Halvorssen le qualifie de « super-méchant » qui donne la priorité à son profit personnel. Toujours au Venezuela, le Parlement doit adopter ce jeudi (12 février 2026) une loi d'amnistie historique. Cela redonne de l'espoir à Angel Gomez. Elle se souvient de ce matin du 15 avril 2022, où elle avait regardé sa mère se préparer pour aller au travail. Ses bottes bien lustrées, cet insigne de la police municipale de Zamora cousu sur la manche de son uniforme. Elle pensait assister à ce moment où sa mère se transforme en super-héroïne pour affronter sa journée. C'était en fait le début d'un cauchemar qui dure depuis quatre ans. Et que nous raconte TalCual. La mère d'Angel Gomez a été inculpée notamment d'abus de pouvoir et de corruption. Treize chefs d'accusation au total, en lien avec une sombre affaire d'expropriation ordonnée par le maire de Zamora et de lutte politique. Quatre ans, donc, pendant lesquels Angel Gomez s'est tue par peur des représailles. Jusqu'au 8 janvier 2026, lorsque le président de l'Assemblée nationale a promis la libération des prisonniers politiques. Alors Angel Gomez a pris son téléphone pour raconter son histoire sur les réseaux sociaux. C'était à son tour de sauver sa super-héroïne. Aujourd'hui, à l'heure où l'Assemblée s'apprête à voter, elle se prend donc à rêver.

I 2026 har vi våknet til en verden der makt trumfer rett: Hva skjer med internasjonalt diplomati og dialog nå? I Venezuela fjernet USA diktatoren Nicolas Maduro med makt. I Iran slås demonstrantene brutalt ned, mens president Trump truer med å gripe inn med våpen mot regimet. Ser vi slutten på en regelstyrt verdensorden basert på internasjonal lov? Er diplomati og dialog fortsatt mulig når makta rår? Hva skal til for at folk på bakken i Venezuela, Iran og andre land rammet av konflikt skal få det bedre? Og hva kan verdenssamfunnet lære av involveringen i Afghanistan? Du møter: • Arne Strand, Seniorforsker ved Chr. Mikkelsens Institutt • Johan Vibe, direktør ved NOREF • Ayesha Wolasmal, diplomat, journalist og forfatter av boken "Tusen dager med Taliban" • Kristian Berg Harpviken, direktør for det Norske Nobelinstitutt Samtalen blir moderert av Kjersti Fløgstad, direktør ved Nobels Fredssenter.

Venezuelan politician and opposition leader Maria Corina Machado says that Venezuela could have a new democratic election in less than a year. The Nobel Peace Prize winner joins POLITICO's Dasha Burns for “The Conversation” in a compelling interview that occurred exactly one month after the US captured Venezuelan's authoritarian leader Nicolas Maduro. Machado opens up about her hopes for the nation's future– and what her own path forward may be. Plus, progressive political YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen sits down with Dasha to unpack the increasingly blurry line between journalism and content creation. He also shares what the future of progressive politics will look like in 2026.

Hier, en fin de journée, raconte Le Parisien dimanche, « Jack Lang a fini par démissionner » de la présidence de l'Institut du monde arabe, prestigieuse institution qu'il dirigeait depuis 2013. « L'issue était inéluctable », dit un proche du ministre des Affaires étrangères, Jean-Noël Barrot, qui avait convoqué Jack Lang, ce dimanche. L'ancien ministre a donc pris les devants. « Cité à 673 reprises dans les dossiers Epstein, rappelle La Tribune Dimanche, Jack Lang est sommé de s'expliquer. (…) À 86 ans, l'icône des années Mitterrand plaide la naïveté. Mais peut-on plaider l'innocence quand on qualifie Epstein "d'homme charmant", "passionné par l'art et culture" ? », interroge le journal, qui analyse ainsi la situation sur le plan international : « À mesure que se dévoilent peu à peu les millions de mails issus de la correspondance du pédocriminel américain, le scandale change de nature : d'une affaire judiciaire, il devient un révélateur politique mondial. » « Depuis une semaine, la planète tremble. » À lire aussiFrance : englué dans l'affaire Epstein, Jack Lang «propose» sa démission de l'Institut du monde arabe La CIA et la Maison Blanche L'Express a enquêté sur la CIA, sous « le règne » de Donald Trump... « Les espions de Trump inquiètent l'Europe », nous dit l'hebdomadaire, qui pose la question : « Alliés ou ennemis ? Habitués à évoluer sous perfusion de la puissante agence de renseignement américaine, les agents secrets du Vieux Continent tentent de sortir du piège tendu par le locataire de la Maison Blanche. » L'Express explique « avoir interrogé une quarantaine de dirigeants ou cadres des services secrets de nombreux pays d'Europe et des États-Unis : un même constat émerge, nourri d'une année de glissement, du discours hostile du vice-président américain J. D. Vance le 14 février 2025 à Munich, aux menaces de moins en moins voilées de Donald Trump d'envahir le territoire danois du Groenland : les Européens doivent apprendre à se passer du concours de la CIA. Et envisager désormais l'allié de toujours comme un rival, voire un ennemi potentiel ». « À la CIA, explique l'ex-officier Mark Bent, « on travaille non pas pour l'administration ni pour le gouvernement, mais pour la Maison Blanche. » Un « ancien haut responsable de l'espionnage français », interrogé sur l'enlèvement de Nicolas Maduro au Venezuela, lors d'une opération éclair, le mois dernier, renchérit : « D'ordinaire, les services de renseignement sont là pour informer et influencer les décisions politiques sur le long terme. Donald Trump les utilise en businessman : il fait des coups. » « Une opposition inédite » M consacre un long article aux familles des ex-otages israéliens. Le supplément du Monde évoque « l'amère victoire des familles d'otages face au pouvoir ». « Pendant huit cent quarante-trois jours, ces familles se sont employées à convaincre le gouvernement de Netanyahu de préférer la voie de la négociation avec le Hamas, plutôt que celle des bombardements meurtriers à Gaza, mettant en péril la vie des captifs. Jusqu'à incarner une opposition inédite en Israël  », explique M.  « En septembre 2025 », rappelle le supplément du Monde, « le Forum des familles d'otages tente le tout pour le tout. Lors des rassemblements hebdomadaires, il multiplie les adresses directes à Donald Trump, le seul à même de faire plier Netanyahu ». En octobre, « les 20 otages encore en vie sont libérés et 27 des 28 dernières dépouilles rendues ». M a interrogé Ksenia Veltlova, chercheuse pour le groupe de réflexion britannique Chatham House : elle parle « de la plus grande campagne jamais menée par la société civile en Israël, qui a sans doute permis de mobiliser une grande partie de la population ». Humour latino Courrier International nous fait découvrir Marcello Hernandez, « un comédien de 28 ans, d'origine cubaine et dominicaine ». « C'est le fils d'immigrés latinos qui fait rire les Américains », explique Courrier international (…) « C'est le jeune prodige de l'humour le plus en vue en ce moment aux États-Unis, fils d'une mère cubaine et d'un père dominicain, il est la nouvelle coqueluche de l'émission culte Saturday Night Live, (…) il présente un personnage particulièrement intéressant, à l'heure où les diasporas latino-américaines sont ciblées par les violentes politiques de l'administration Trump. » « Marcello Hernandez réhumanise les immigrés latino-américains, poursuit Courrier international, en racontant des anecdotes de son enfance avec un personnage de "fils à maman", lui qui a grandi avec une mère célibataire à Miami, où habite une forte diaspora cubaine et latino-américaine. » Une journaliste portoricaine du site The Latino Newsletter fait part de son enthousiasme, dans le contexte actuel. « Je me suis reconnue dans son humour et surtout dans ce qu'il dit sur la condition de Latino sous Trump, à l'ère Maga (Make America Great Again), explique-t-elle, alors que nous sommes assiégés en permanence par la xénophobie et le racisme. Le pire, le plus violent, étant de ne pas comprendre ce qui nous vaut tant de haine ».

Un mois après une opération américaine aussi spectaculaire que controversée, le Venezuela reste suspendu à un vertige politique inédit. Dans la nuit du 2 au 3 janvier 2026, au terme d'une opération militaire meurtrière violant toutes les normes du droit international, Nicolas Maduro et son épouse étaient exfiltrés de Caracas avant d'être transférés à New York où ils sont aujourd'hui détenus et jugés pour narcoterrorisme. Une opération dénoncée comme un « kidnapping » par l'intéressé lui-même et par ses soutiens qui y voient une volonté de l'administration Trump de tenter de décapiter le « chavisme », de s'emparer du pétrole et autres richesses de la République bolivarienne et aussi d'intimider l'ensemble de l'Amérique latine en lui montrant à quoi elle s'expose si elle ne se soumet pas. À Caracas, Delcy Rodriguez, propulsée présidente par intérim, tente de maintenir l'équilibre entre la rue chaviste, une opposition fragmentée et un partenaire américain désormais omniprésent. Elle promet une amnistie politique, libère des détenus et ouvre le secteur pétrolier, symbole d'un tournant majeur pour un pays qui possède les plus grandes réserves du monde. Le Venezuela demeure profondément divisé : certains saluent la chute d'un régime autoritaire, d'autres dénoncent une violation flagrante de la souveraineté nationale. L'intervention américaine ouvre-t-elle une transition démocratique… ou un nouveau cycle de dépendance ? Invités : Kevin Parthenay, professeur des Universités en Science politique et co-président de l'Observatoire Politique de l'Amérique Latine et des Caraïbes de Sciences Po Fabrice Andreani, chargé de cours en Science politique à l'Université Lyon 2, spécialiste du Venezuela et du mouvement chaviste à l'international Luis Alejandro Avila Gomez, docteur en Géopolitique, consultant et chercheur associé à l'Institut français de Géopolitique Université Paris 8.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 55: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: So would you like to collapse the Trump Regime? Today? Peacefully? Legally? You - the White House press corps. It only takes one of you. You go into the next Oval Office Scrum, and you ask him politely for his explanation of something released by his administration, by Pam Bondi’s office, on the government website, and you read – quoting this FBI 302 interview file: “Maxwell presented (her) to Trump…by the things Maxwell said, it was clear that (she) was available…”And don’t stop reading and don’t make eye contact. THEN from the sworn affidavit, reed, quote: “I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the plaintiff that she couldn’t ever say anything, if she didn’t want to disappear like the 12-year old female (redacted) and that he was capable of having her whole family killed…” Quote: “the physical and sexual abuse that I personally witnessed of minor females at the hands of Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein... under penalty of perjury even though I fully understand that the life of myself and my family is now in grave danger” unquote, what SIR is your explanation SIR about when you threatened this girl’s life, sir. Just keep asking. Don't make eye contact, don't stop, don't stop talking when he starts talking. Just reel off those quotes. And the one about becoming fertilizer. And the "Calendar Girls" story (as nonsensical as that probably is). And all the others. Because we don't always see the escape hatch when it appears before us, and it just appeared. Because the Epstein Files are part of an official Department of Justice Document Dump. Their contents are Pam Bondi's problem, not you or your lawyer's. And if you don't bear down and do this job as it was designed by the Founding Fathers, you will sooner or later face one of these outcomes: you'll be arrested, you'll be replaced by some automaton Bari Weiss likes, or the country will survive and the next people running media will never consider you for work because you were cowardly when we needed your courage. Oh and you can peacefully, legally end the careers of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio and Bari Weiss and lots of others. The material is all in front of you. Just have the courage to pick it up and fling it, like he'd fling his poo at you. ALSO: Don Lemon was arrested not because Jesus but because Trump has always hated him. And if you've forgotten, I explained two weeks ago why Trump was trying to restart the 2020 crap, now sending Tulsi Gabbard to Georgia. They're sitting up not a claim that the election was fixed, but that the election was fixed by another country (hey, Nicolas Maduro, you mind taking the rap, in exchange for a pardon?) and there is no statute of limitations on THAT. B-Block (34:55) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Harriet Hageman, the blob they elected to the House from Wyoming to replace Liz Cheney, is now running for Senate. Emphasize "running": she has fled a town hill. The Bill Maher Pretzel Logic: Celebrities should shut up, voters don't listen to TV and movie stars. But Bill, you expect them to listen to you. So you're saying you're not a star? And the latest Bari Weiss firing target is supposedly Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan and one of the names being thrown around (probably nonsensically) is Matt Lauer. C-Block (54:00) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: We need a doubleheader. I heard an audio book with a famous actor doing Thurber's tribute to what would be called Dunning-Kruger Syndrome: "The Macbeth Murder Mystery" and it was one of those rare times when I actually said "No - I did this better." So I bring it to you, and as a bonus, a second great unheralded Thurber story: "Meet Birdey Doggett." Enjoy them at your leisure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On January 3, 2026, the United States invaded Venezuela and kidnapped president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. It was the first U.S. invasion of a Latin American country since the 1989 invasion of Panama. The United States fired missiles and bombs that blew out windows and hit residential apartment blocks. Helicopters. Explosions. Firebombs. They cut electricity. They destroyed a medical supplies warehouse. Testimonies say helicopters fired on innocent people. They traumatized thousands, if not, millions of Venezuelans.The aftermath for everyday Venezuelans has been completely ignored. The voices of those on the ground — the voices of the victims — have been largely silenced in the international press and then forgotten as the news cycle hurtles on and our attention shifts elsewhere — to Greenland, Minneapolis, Iran, Gaza, or whatever Trump happens to be blustering about on social media.So today, we're heading to Caracas to speak to people who experienced the invasion first hand, whether sheltered in place in their homes or running for their lives in the streets of their city. We'll hear their stories of Trump's “impressive” attack, their messages for the U.S., and how they've promised to resist the ongoing attack on their sovereignty.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present.

On January 3rd, 2026 the United States of America military, under orders from Donald Trump, captured and kidnapped Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores. Despite Maduro's and Flores' indictments from the US Justice Department, accusing them of narco-terrorism conspiracy, this act was, according to many observers, a clear violation of international law. The Trump administration didn't seem to care too much about that. Despite some vague attempts to provide a legal justification for its actions, Stephen Miller, The White House deputy chief of staff for policy, said he had little regard for what he termed “international niceties”: “We live in a world, in the real world…that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power…These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”These words echo how a particular philosophy of international relations called “realism” has been understanding the world, long before Donald Trump came to office. For realists, what the US did in Venezuela is not too different to what the US has always done (not just in South America, but also in Iraq and Afghanistan), only this time any pretence of morality or legality has been, more or less, dropped, in favour of brandishing brute force and naked self-interest.  So, was international law always just a thin veil of justification for the exercise of brute force? Or are Trump's actions a departure from a more civilised world in which even the most powerful states were constrained by international legal norms. Linda Kinstler is a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and a scholar of legal and intellectual history.

With the FBI digging into the 2020 election and taking truckloads of evidence from Fulton County, the capture of Nicolas Maduro and investigations into the very voting systems that have no doubt compromised American elections fall into place. Trump isn't just draining the swamp, he's exposing the deep state schemes to steal from the American citizen while always blaming him. Don Lemming gets arrested at the Grammys and Tim Walz fancies himself Minnesota's next senator.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up—disturbing new reports out of Iran suggest the regime may have deployed chemical agents against protesters, raising serious questions about how far Tehran is willing to go to crush dissent. Later in the show—we break down the latest developments from Minneapolis, where a Border Patrol agent shot and killed a man during an immigration crackdown, fueling renewed calls for federal law enforcement to leave the state. Plus—trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States wrap up with leaders projecting optimism, but little tangible progress toward ending the war. And in today's Back of the Brief—President Trump claims a secret weapon he dubbed the “Discombobulator” was decisive in the raid that captured Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 52: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: It's the Big Lie Redux. Trump appears to be planning some kind of SHOW TRIALS over the 2020 Election - and Nicolas Maduro might be his key “witness." He let it slip at the World Economic Forum yesterday. He told the audience in Davos that he will be prosecuting people over the 2020 Election. Never mind that there's nothing to prosecute anybody for; never mind that he lost; never mind that this has already been through the courts: "It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did. That's probably breaking news." In the last week, he has twice insisted Joe Biden and his administration ‘should be arrested’ and he has now said "we caught 'em." In his fugue state News Conference Tuesday, Trump had a question planted about ‘finding things out’ from Maduro about 2020. And Maduro's role in some nonsensical conspiracy theory may be the real reason Trump had Maduro renditioned from Venezuela – not drugs. Regardless: all the tea leaves suggest Trump is going to roll out the Big Lie again, this time perhaps with a phony confession from Maduro in exchange for a pardon or something. Trump is insane and desperate, so now he will actually try to focus the Department of Justice and all elected Republicans on prosecuting Biden and others. You think his Greenland Clown Show is crazy? You think his terrorism in Minnesota is crazy? You ain’t seen nothing yet. And god help us if it gets any traction. If media pushback were insufficient to counter the tsunami of propaganda Trump and his criminal gangs could generate, he might try to use the subsequent unrest as an excuse to interfere with the midterms or even rationalize violating the constitution and seeking another term. B-Block (32:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Anchors Aweight, Buffalo Bills' owner Terry Pegula, who has fired his coach even though he thinks Sean McDermott did an "admiral" job. Then there's Labor Secretary Lori Chavez DeRemer and the accusations of an affair with a staffer on the public dime. She's chosen to be represented by a lawyer named Dr. Nick. And then there are America's two most overrated journalists Jim "What Is A Woman?" VandeHei, and Anderson "You Really Think Trump Is Insane?" Cooper and yes they each actually asked those questions this week. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: How different was flying nearly half a century ago? There we were, the president of Cornell University and I, waiting to board a plane from New York to Ithaca and there they were, two airline employees, trying to fix a problem in the undercarriage by stuffing paper towels up into it.

Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Trump at a private White House meeting, calling it a recognition of his “unique commitment” to Venezuelan freedom. Mr Trump posted on social media that it was a gesture of mutual respect, and thanked her. The talks come weeks after US forces seized Nicolas Maduro in Caracas and charged him with drug trafficking. Also: President Trump threatens to deploy military personnel to Minnesota as tensions grow over the deployment of ICE officers in the city of Minneapolis.
