Investigate Earth Conspiracy Podcast - US vs Venezuela | The War They’re Not Talking About

Episode Date: October 21, 2025

Tonight on the Investigate Earth PodcastThe U.S. and Venezuela are at a boiling point, and there’s more to the story than “drug boats” and “naval patrols.” We dig into how the U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean, the rising influence of China and Russia in Latin America, and the covert connections between narco-trafficking and geopolitics are all converging in this one crisis. 🔍 What you’ll learn:Why tens of thousands of U.S. naval personnel are positioned off Venezuela’s coast, and how this links to military strategy, drug-smuggling routes and hemispheric security.How China and Russia are quietly deepening ties with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela regime, and what it means for U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere.What the “drug war” cover story might be hiding: cartel networks, covert intelligence operations, and alliances nobody’s talking about.What happens next: are we looking at regime change, a proxy war, or a new Cold-War style showdown right in our backyard?🚨 Why this matters:This isn’t just another Latin America story. It’s a potential flashpoint shaping global power dynamics. As we speak, the balance of influence is shifting, and the U.S. vs Venezuela axis might be the first domino. Whether you’re into military strategy, geopolitical intrigue, or drug-trafficking investigations, this episode sheds light where others stay in the dark. 👉 Tune in now and join the conversation , then subscribe, rate, and share if you believe more people should hear what’s really happening behind the headlines.Visit Our Merchandise Store Here For Limited Edition MerchFind us also on X, Instagram, and Facebook by searching Investigate Earth Podcast!

Today is the beginning of the end and the start of a beginning. It's time to flip the page. Hello and welcome to Investigator of Podcast. I'm your host, Chad, alongside my beautiful wife, Sherry. On tonight, we're talking about Venezuela, a place most people aren't paying attention to, but maybe they should be. The Trump administration has deployed nearly 10% of the United States Navy to the region, launched strikes on Venezuelan drugboats, and moved B-52 bombers into position. On paper, it's all about fighting cartels, but off the record,

It looks like something much deeper. Whispers say China's knee-deep in Maduro's regime, using Venezuela as a foothold in the Western Hemisphere, and maybe even as a hub for trafficking, money laundering, and covert operations tied to rogue intelligence networks. Is this just a drug war? Or is this the start of a global power shift happening right under our noses? Welcome back to Investigate Earth.

It is October the 20 at 2025. The name of that song is I Don't Give a F. We actually decided to play the clean version tonight. that is by Deaf Lev. We actually played that song a while back. It's actually a pretty good song. Yeah, we used to play it a lot. Yeah, we did.

I wanted to be our like theme song because I think it's awesome. I love the way the music comes in after he announces that. For sure. Awesome. Well, and then also too, just, you know, with everything and all of the content creators or influencers now that it's like if you say the wrong thing, if you're on the wrong side of this or if you don't agree with a particular faction of people, you know, they say, oh, you're not allowed to say that.

You shouldn't be. be saying that. Let's cancel this person. Let's cancel that person. It's something I got pretty tired of. So that is kind of like a salute song to say, hey, look, if you don't agree with us, we're just going to be ourselves no matter what. And I think that's why a lot of you listen to us. We definitely try to be as middle of the road as possible. We try to look at every single situation or issue from a lens that is not biased towards one particular side, except for certain things, Sherry. Well, and I also have to say that Trump basically came out and said, listen Venezuela, I don't give a.

Yeah. Yeah, and we're going to play that clip in just a moment. Yeah, Trump went asked by reporters about the Venezuela situation and Maduro. He responded like Trump only would. And what I will say is actually, I've never heard Trump respond quite like this. Trump's kind of in this realm to where he doesn't give an F. And he's on that F around and find out train. I guess you can say.

Now, there's still a lot of things, obviously, that I don't agree with what the Trump administration has done up until now. now, especially with the Epstein files, which we're going to be covering here on an upcoming podcast very soon. We're going to look at like where those files are. What is the updates with that? You know, is the Trump administration hiding that? We do know that, you know, particular congresspeople in particular that have called for the release of these files are now being, I guess, ousted.

They're, and I'm literally talking about Thomas Massey, for one, everybody wants Thomas Massey out because Thomas Massey was trying to push a vote. to get the Epstein files released. And now the Trump administration is going hardcore against Thomas Massey or basically anybody that is wanting these files released. So well, wasn't all the Republicans they voted no to have them released just recently? Yeah, it's weird. So yeah, they voted along party lines.

Most Republicans voted no with the exception of a few. And then most Democrats voted yes. Now, obviously there are a lot of people saying, well, you know, the Democrats are the ones that have had these files for this long. So they've, they have likely been manipulated. you know, they're going to try to pin it on Trump or his, or his allies or whoever. We don't know. All I do know is that even during the Democrat time, they didn't care about the Epstein files and

they damn sure we're not releasing the Epstein files during the Biden-Harris administration. So it's not just a Republican issue and not releasing the files. It is obviously a faction of elites or people that are over all of our Congress, all of our government that is not allowing for the release of the Epstein files. And I think it goes both sides. Unfortunately, the problem is that when the Trump administration was coming into office and especially leading up to that year leading up to the election, you know, you had people like Cash Patel and Trump and everybody else saying that, hey, on day one, we're going to make sure that this is clear and transparent. We're going to release every file. And then there was just a lot of blunders from the Trump administration with AG Pam Bondi.

She went back and forth saying, I have all the files. No, I don't have all the files. and then you have the infamous influencer meeting at the White House where they all came out with binders that were empty with nothing in them that says Epstein vials. And so that was a joke. And everybody was like, what in the hell is going on? And then even Pan Bondi said, oh, I have all this on my desk. We have truckloads of evidence. We have all of this.

And then it went from that to like, hey, we don't actually have it. Actually, it's only just child pee or porn. It's kind of been a shit show, right? So there's obviously things that in any administration we're going to find that we do not necessarily agree with. The Epstein thing is definitely a big one. And I know a lot of people have asked us, when are we going to be covering any updates on the Epstein files release? And we will be doing that probably this week. So just hang with us.

Guys, we've been away for five or six days. I've had some medical issues here and there. I do have some, a lot of people have asked. We did announce this kind of yesterday. You know, hey, we've been away for a little bit. I do have basically a stomach issue thing. It's divertulitis, really. I mean, it's actually an old people thing.

But I, for some reason, have it. My whole family is hereditary. And so essentially it's like pockets in your intestinal lining that can get infected. And once that happens, then it's like hellish pain. It is terrible for him. It's bad. Really, the first time we ever went to the ER with it and he didn't know what it was, he kind of had an idea.

But the ER doctor was looking at chat, he's like, dude, this is like an old people like disease. You're not supposed to have this so young. But unfortunately, Chad is young and he does have it and it does frequently come back. That's why he does try to combat it with what he eats and what he drinks. And he has a very realistic, not realistic. Yeah, ritualistic way of eating. He has to have his fiber. He's got to have sourcrow. He's got to have this. He's got to have this at certain times every day. So, you know, I would hate to have to live like that. And it does. suck when it flares up because he is in so much pain like yesterday. He felt like he got stabbed in the side of his.

I still do actually today. Side, yeah. Yeah, I've been in the emergency room with it a few times, actually. My mom's had part of her colonel removed because of it. Both of my brothers also suffer with it. And so I haven't had it actually in a couple of years because the fiber. And then recently I'd got off the, you know, like probiotic stuff. So anyways, that's the update.

It's nothing too crazy. But, you know, stuff like that can get serious if left untreated. So I just want to. And then also we've just kind of been dealing with a lot of stuff the past five days. But we are back. We are ready to report for duty in this crazy world. And as I said, there is so much to talk about that. I mean, we're going to try our very best to do episodes almost every night this week.

And then probably even next week as well, there's just so much stuff on the back burner. We got UFO topics to cover. There's basically a civil war in the UFO community right now with our friend Tupa and Red Panda against Lou Alizando. and others, literally to the point of death threats from potentially Lou Alizando and others camp onto, you know, Tupacabra and Red Panda. Yeah, and for those that don't know who Tupa and Red Panda are, they are two of the biggest kind of names, I guess, on the UFOX Twitter space. They do a lot of documentaries.

They read Panda as a filmmaker, documentary filmmaker. And it seems like that, you know, they've called out some stuff, you know, I guess that Lou Alizando has talked about or has presented in the past. And this has got them a ton of backlash. And we might have one or both of them on the podcast very soon. Well, what's scary about that too is Lou has been with the government. And once you're with the government, you're always with the government. And these guys are kind of outsiders.

Yeah. So that's what really makes me nervous for the two outsiders is because you have government versus outsiders. And you never know if something. ever were to go wrong or crazy and what would happen to them. Oh yeah on on the podcast that Lou has been on lately. Uh, they've literally been talking about. Yeah, you know, it, you know, it would really suck, you know, for, for these two to, you know, be suicidal one day or something. I'm like, are you crazy, bro? Like you're literally saying out. Yeah. And they go deeper and they just keep keep, you know, they keep up with the threats. That just kind of makes me wonder like,

what is the official narrative of that? So we got that story coming up as well, probably this week also. there's just so much going on but we're going to go ahead and get into this Venezuela story. I'll go ahead and let's first start, I guess, with the Venezuela drugboats, right? There have been quite a few Venezuelan drug boats that have been blown up, you know, just over the past couple of months. And so if you look at it right now on September the 2nd, 2025, the U.S. military struck a vessel alleged to be departing Venezuela with drugs. 11 people on board were killed.

And then on September 15th, 2025, another strike killed three people on a boat said to originate from Venezuela. Then October 3rd, 2025, a further strike killed at least four people on a suspected Venezuela-linked drug boat there. Now, Reuters piece dated October 17th reported that there about six strikes on vessels near Venezuela, alleged drug smuggling boats had occurred as of October the 17th. So at least six drug boats that we know of have been struck. and I think recently there was another one that appeared to be, I guess, a drug submarine. Now, there's a lot of South American drug cartels that will use these kind of makeshift submarines. And when I say makeshift, they're actually not that bad as far as if you're thinking about a cartel making a submarine-type vessel. Well, they do have these.

And the reason they have these is for this exact reason, except for back in a day, you know, before Trump administration came in, it was the Coast Guard that was always essentially. I guess patrol in the waters and making sure that, hey, if there was drug boats, usually they would have their guns outside of their either MH60 helicopters or, or maybe some of their dolphins, and they would shoot out the engines of these boats. Then they would board the boats. They would bring on the boats up next to the boats or up next to the drug boats. And then they would capture them. Usually they would have to release them, put them back in the country.

And, you know, that was it. And then guess what? another week or so later, they would be right back doing the exact same thing, and in most cases, they were not caught. So what the Trump administration decided to do this time around was they wanted to send a very strong message by literally blowing up these drugboats that they could identify without, you know, I guess without much speculation, or I guess you can say without reasonable or shadow of a doubt that these were, in fact, cartel drugboats from Venezuela.

And when they would identify these with the Department of War, Pete Heggseth and others, they would literally just blow these things up with missiles. Yeah, and it's a common theme for Trump, F-A-F-O. Yeah. And that's what he's saying to these people. He's like, get it done, guys. That's what Cash Patel and Dan Brungeena also said with everything they're doing. He said, you know, as far as like the ice stuff going on and bringing National Guard into different states, he doesn't want crime in America.

He wants the streets to be safe. So he's like, guys, whatever you got to do to get our streets straight, do it. go get them. Yeah, absolutely. And that's his mentality at this point. Yeah. And so Trump had actually just responded to a reporter the other day about why not just stop the narco terrorist boats from Venezuela with the Coast Guard, right?

That's what he was asking. This is what he responded. By the way, before I played this video, I did want to also mention that we only have a couple of days on our store, investigate restore.com for our last line of merchandise. I guess we've had it out probably a month and a half now. We're going to be switching all that over in a couple of things. in a couple of days. So if you want some of the merchandise that is currently on there right now,

go to investigate or store.com and you can check that out. But anyways, here is the clip from President Trump when he was asked, why can we not just use the Coast Guard, what we've been doing forever, and here's what he had to say. I want to ask you, why not have the Coast Guard stop them, which is empowered by law to do? This way you can confirm this on the boat and ensure that they're doing what they suspect.

Because we've been doing that for 30 years, and it has been totally ineffective. They have faster boats. Some of these boats are seriously, I mean, they're world-class speedboats, but they're not faster than missiles. But we've been trying to do that for years, and so much of the drugs, 25, 30 percent, would come in through the seas. Right now we have, I would say, none coming in through the seas. In fact, I don't know about the fishing industry. If you want to go fishing, a lot of people aren't deciding to even go fishing. we've almost totally stopped it by sea.

Now we'll stop it by land. But it never worked. It never worked when you did it in a very politically correct manner. All right. So as he says here, you know, when we did it the way we used to do it for 30 years, it never worked. And he's right. It did never work. But, you know, it also kind of makes you cringe a little bit.

He's like, yeah, there's even fishermen that don't want to go out fishing in the sea now, especially in this area, which kind of makes you worry a little bit. I was like, would you actually strike a fishing boat on accident? You know, and that's what a lot of people are saying. And there's also a lot of people that are saying, look, this is not even legal. We're going to get into that. But here's the bigger picture. I want everybody just to understand.

We're not on this podcast episode just going to talk about this is a drug cartel war issue. There is definitely something deeper and bigger behind the scenes that is going on. And it involves other countries, possibly even CIA, possibly even some drug trafficking, not just drug trafficking, but human trafficking. There's a lot of stuff that is being. kind of ran through Venezuela under Maduro. Now, a lot of people say that Maduro is not technically the legal president because that

election was stolen. That is what the Trump administration and many allies of Trump are saying, that he was an installed president on behalf of basically Russia and China and other factions. But we're going to get into that. What I want to do first is I want to play what Rand Paul had to say. Now, I always like what Rand Paul usually says, especially during the, the COVID thing, right? When he was questioning Dr. Anthony Falci, he was one of the only ones that really tore into Dr. Falci like crazy. And so when these drug boats started being hit, this is what

Rand Paul went on, meet the press and said to this reporter, listen. Venezuela, obviously you've been very focused on this. President Trump has authorized military strikes against suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. As you know, so far more than 20 people, Senator have been killed in six different strikes. Do you believe that these strikes against these suspected drugboats are legal? No, they go against all of our tradition. You know, when you kill someone, you should know if you're not in war, not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name, at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without us knowing their name, without any evidence of a crime. And for decades, if

not centuries, when you stop people at sea in international waters or in your own waters, you announce that you're going to board the ship and you're looking for contraband, smuggling, or drugs. This happens every day off of Miami. But we know from Coast Guard statistics that about 25% of the time the Coast Guard boards a ship, there are no drugs. So if our policy now is to blow up every ship we suspect or accuse of drug running, that would be a bizarre world in which 25% of the people might be innocent. The other thing about these speedboats is they're 2,000 miles away from us. If they have drugs, they're probably peddling drugs to one of the islands of Trinidad or Tobago off of Venezuela.

The idea that they're coming here is like it's a huge assumption and really shouldn't you have to present some proof. It is the difference between war and peace. In war, though, you don't ask people's name. But if they want all-out war where we kill anybody and everybody that is, in the country of Venezuela are coming out. That has to have a declaration of war. It's something that is not pretty, very expensive, and I'm not in favor of declaring war on Venezuela, but the Congress should vote.

The president shouldn't do this by himself. Yeah, so that's what Rand Paul has a saying. Look, I agree with him in a large part here, right? Because he makes some good points. And what the media often doesn't talk about is, well, how far is Venezuela from us? It's actually quite a ways away. I mean, over 2,000 plus miles. And these boats, obviously, that are allegedly carrying these drugs are coming off of the Venezuelan coast.

They are likely probably taking drugs somewhere else besides the United States because most of these boats are not going to be able to travel from Venezuela straight to the United States in any capacity because of just the fuel reserves that they have on board. And then better yet, like, how do we absolutely positively know that what they are carrying on these boats or drugs? you know, how do we know that? Because we don't, I mean, we, yes, we absolutely have advanced camera systems on either helicopters, drones, et cetera. But we also don't know for sure that what's under tarps or maybe in compartments are going to be drugs. And so it is a little concerning that our military would just go and blow up boats that

are coming off of Venezuela coast. That's, you know, obviously not going to be in America anytime soon after leaving the coast to Venezuela. But it seems like that we are declaring basically a war with Venezuela and basically anybody coming from Venezuela anywhere close towards the United States. And Rand Paul makes a good point here. He said, I don't believe that these boats are headed directly for the United States. Could they be headed to Trinidad or some of these other islands, you know, that's closer by to Venezuela, that then they would take boats from there to possibly interd or to, I guess you can say traffic drugs to the United States, possibly. But we don't even know that for sure.

And so that is the big question here is like, why are we blowing up drug boats? In my opinion, or boats in general, I think this is a statement of, I guess, power by the United States and the Trump administration to say, look, you know, this is what we're going to do. If you even think that you're going to come off the coast of Venezuela and we're going to pin it as this is a drug cartel issue, this is what we're really going after, then that's a power move more so than it's anything. And I just don't personally think that these boats necessarily are all headed towards the United States. And I also don't think with what we're going to get into on the show tonight that this war that we are about to get in with Venezuela, basically we're already in with Venezuela has anything to do with drug cartels. Now, there are going to be people that dispute that. But I think it goes deeper. And even if it goes deeper, it still doesn't quite make sense about why we would be why we would be blowing up boats coming off the coast of Venezuela that are not going to direct.

directly impact the United States right then and there. They would obviously have to go somewhere else to then transport those drugs to put it in another boat, then to take it from that place onto the United States soil. So there's something else at play here that we don't quite see, especially even with the drug boats. And I think personally it's a power move. I agree with you, Chad. It is a power move, but also, like Trump said, this has been going on for 30 years.

And now we have more powerful drugs coming into this country that is. killing or murdering Americans way more than any other murderers happening in America. Like that is, we have a war on drugs right now. And to me, these are terrorists. And anybody's a terrorist, we should be at war with. He said that maybe we're suspecting them or accusing them, but I think that we do have technology that tells us what's inside those boats. If they have license plate readers out there,

they can read a license plate or they can see somebody from a drone, what they look like and identify the person, then I'm pretty sure we have pretty good intelligence of what's on that boat. I don't think we're just blowing up fishermen boats. I think they do have drugs, and I think they are coming towards America. And this is more of a power move to say, listen, if you're going to do that,

you're going to find out what happens to you because we're not going to allow you to do it. And if they are going to other countries, well, then, damn, we're helping other countries prevent drugs from going into their country. Yeah. Well, and you know, a lot of people say, well, how are we able to legally do this? And so what, you know, essentially Rand Paul was saying here is that, you know, this is illegal. And technically, if you look at them in Roe Doctrine, it's not technically illegal. It depends on how you read it.

And what I do want to say, Sherry, to your point as well is that I think it's more advanced than just like, as I said earlier, the MH60 or U.H60 Black Hawk helicopters or drones. You know, you have to understand the U.S. spy satellites and the advanced capabilities we have. we know anything that is moving anywhere in the world at any given time, doesn't matter what it is. And we can see everything and we can see all real time. So do we see these drug traffickers loading drugs from known drug locations in Venezuela, then putting them in these boats? And that's why we are attacking them,

uh, possibly. But will we ever see evidence of that? I don't know because obviously that'll likely all be classified. So we'll probably never see any evidence, you know, that is backing that these boats are in fact drug boats. This is how we saw it.

This is the technology. we used to see it. We probably won't ever see it. The only thing to ever worries me about this and kind of what it puts in my mind is, like, how powerful the government is even without due process. And, you know, there's a lot of reasons why we have processes in government, especially when it comes to killing people and wartime situations where you got to get the authority of Congress and so on and so forth, because you want the elected officials

that us, the people elect into power, to approve or disapprove of wartime activities. and especially when it comes to killing people. And I know these people are from Venezuela. So it's like in this world today, it's like we don't really care about anybody else besides, you know, ourselves as long as it's whatever unless it's for some political ideology. Well, it's not a political ideology, though. We're trying to stop the crime in America.

And we're trying to stop the murder victims of Americans. I get that. And I do take this personally, and I just want to tell you a quick story. In third grade, I met my best friend and she's been my best friend. my entire life. Chad knows we used to talk two, three hours every single day. She had her life going for her. She was a flight attendant with United Airlines. She was flying internationally, had her life together. She was perfect. And somehow she got on these drugs. And she went from having a perfect life to now she is homeless, toothless, and a prostitute on drugs. And this is my best friend I'm talking about. And this is just one story. You think about, I see these videos.

I'm in a group or a page that goes to Kingston, Pennsylvania every day and films what's going on there. The streets are littered with people that look like walking zombies. They have no life. They can't even stand up straight. They're overdosing and dying daily. And something's got to be done to stop this. It's horrific. And this is murder to me.

Yeah. Well, just for the statistics here, in 2022, about 73,000 people died from a. fentanyl overdose in 2023 total number of drug overdose deaths was over 105,000 and about 75% of those involved fentanyl. So the exact number of pure fentanyl only deaths from 2023 isn't clear, but it has been reported in some sources. Now, the reason why fentanyl and stuff is even coming up, and as far as Venezuela, I'm sure that many of you have heard that a lot of the fentanyl is actually coming from China.

China actually creates a lot of the base compounds for fentanyl to be either made, create, or in some cases just comes directly from China and the form of fentanyl. Oftentimes China will use these cartels, whether it be the Mexican drug cartels, but especially in South America, and especially it seems like maybe in Venezuela, because we also understand that we're going to get into, Russia and China has a large stake in Venezuela.

China and Russia have a lot of involvement in not only their oil, they are basically controlling Venezuela with what you would call debt, because they're loaning. Venezuela all this money for certain things, whether it be oil, drilling, so on. But they also are involved in a lot of trafficking exercises, whether it be drugs or maybe even human trafficking, which I think what was a large part of that during the open borders, during the Biden-Harris administration, I think, in my opinion, this is an opinion. I think the Biden-Harris administration may have even possibly worked alongside China or some

of these other hostile nations to allow some of this stuff to come in to destroy our country from within. I know people like George Soros Open Society Foundation where, you know, they are some of the big NGOs that have pushed the open borders, that push the human trafficking. And they are also the same people that are funding a lot of these protests that are pro illegal immigration, pro wide open borders, pro basically anything America. So this all kind of comes back into kind of almost like a game plan for the New World Order and especially for people that hate America or the countries that do. And so what is the Monroe Doctrine? This is a what a lot of people were saying, this is how this is legal. Well, the Monroe Doctrine was

announced by President James Monroe in 1823, and during the early years of the U.S. Republic, its main purpose was to warn European powers to stay out of Western Hemisphere. And the key idea was that the Americans are for Americans. And so in practical terms, it said that no new European colonies in North or South America may happen, no interference by Europe in the affairs of newly independent nations of Latin America. In return, the U.S. would stay out of European wars and politics. And so it became a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy evolving over two centuries into justification for a U.S.

dominant intervention in the Western Hemisphere, including in Latin America, the Caribbean and Pacific approaches. So then it evolved by the 20th century, presidents like Theodore Roosevelt expanded the doctrine to include the Roosevelt Corridorary, which said that the U.S. could intervene militarily in Latin American nations to stabilize them if they threatened U.S. interest or regional security. And so that expansion gave the U.S. the right in its own eyes to conduct naval patrols and blockades, topple regimes viewed as hostile, and fight threats like communism, terrorism, or narco-trafficking. So this is kind of how this all applies to the Trump and the drugboats thing.

So when you hear about the Trump administration blowing up all these drug boats, that kind of ties directly to the modern application of the Monroe Doctrine in the context of transnational crime and narcotics trafficking. So the U.S. views drug cartels, trafficking routes, and narco submarines essentially coming from Venezuela, Colombia, and the Caribbean as a regional security threat, not just a criminal issue. And so that falls under the no foreign or hostile influence in the Western Hemisphere idea of the Monroe Doctrine. And so then you think about the foreign influence, China, Russia, Iran. If U.S. intelligence links Venezuelan drug operations to Chinese triads, Russian intelligence, or Iranian smuggling networks, then it becomes more than a drug issue. it's then seen as a foreign power operating inside of the Western Hemisphere, which the Monroe Doctrine directly opposes. Now, we've already seen this, obviously, with the Panama Canal.

We've seen that China essentially took over the Panama Canal completely when we sold the Panama Canal, which is one of the reasons why the United States and Trump and Marco Rubio, Markerubio actually spent over, I think, a month down near the Panama Canal. And he just wanted to see for himself, like how much influence does China actually have in this port or in this canal? and they basically own everything in Panama. That's what they said. That's only people that are there now is Chinese people. Yeah.

And so it's not just the Panama Canal. I mean, you have Venezuela, which has a huge Chinese influence. And then you think about the Southcom operations, the U.S. Southern Command operates under mandates consistent with that doctrine. So when the U.S. Navy or Coast Guard assets destroy cartel or even Venezuela military-linked vessels, it's framed as protecting hemispheric security, which is a 21st century enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine. Now we might think of like, okay, well, are these just drug cartels?

Are these just drug traffickers? Are these just, you know, lowly people and the Venezuelan, I guess, civilization they're doing this? Well, we're going to play a clip in just a little bit that kind of explains the aspect of how does Venezuela actually operate. Well, Venezuela is very similar to Mexico in the sense of the government and the military is basically the cartel. It is the drug traffickers.

They are all one in the same. especially under this president that is in power now, Maduro, there's a lot of people who've also said, well, why have we not went after Mexico? Because obviously, Mexico is right on our border. They are 100% controlled by the cartel. I do have my own theories of why we have not went after the Mexican drug cartel, but that's just a whole other conspiracy. Well, I'll go ahead and say it. I think the reason why, I think the reason why potentially we did not go after Mexico first is because what I will say is the Mexican president. She is, I think, heavily Jewish influenced.

I'm not blaming this on Israel, but she is. My number she is. And she has been heavily funded by Israel and APAC and all that stuff as well. I know they kind of got all ties in there, but I don't understand. And a lot of people to understand is like, why did we not go into Mexico first? Why did we not, especially knowing how the drug cartels and the amount of the drug cartels that operated on our border over the last four years that brought in millions of people, not just, not just regular people seeking asylum. We're talking about people that were coming across their border that were Venezuelan

Trindaragua, that were Mexican drug cartels, the Sinaloa cartels, all of the worst drug cartels. You had coyotes from these drug cartels that would officiate the entire process of crossing. And not only that, they would, they would make these people pay $5,000, $10,000 in some cases. We're talking about poor, broke Mexican families and not just Mexican families, but families from South America where they had to pony up $5,000 or $6,000. And in some cases, they had to pony up their children to the cartels so that the cartels could then child sex traffic. Yeah, they didn't pony them up. They took their children. Yes.

But they also, but there were also families that, you know, voluntarily gave their kids up. But a lot of them were taken too. And I also, when I mentioned, too, it's not just happening in America. and thank God for Trump that we are, we have shut down our borders. Now we're just trying to remove the violent people from America and taking them back to their homeland or putting them in jail. But I also want to mention that I was listening to a podcast the other night with my brother's good friend that is in Canada. And he was also mentioning that they have something like, I don't want to say the wrong number, but like 100 kilometers of kilometers. probably kilometers.

I don't know. But anyways, it's one of those Canadian terms. Yeah. They have a ton of acreage where they have open borders still to this day. And with the new prime minister coming in, he said it's still not enough. They only have like two guys at each border and like one helicopter. And he said it's not enough.

And their borders, they're still wide open. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, and look, you know, that is definitely something. Whoever the president or prime minister of Canada is now. I remember when that was going on and we have a couple of, and we have actually a lot of Canadian listeners, but we have quite a few that are in our telegram and one in particular, Chris, shout out Chris.

But Chris always talks about kind of like what the actual power struggle is in Canadian politics. And even this guy that actually got in is not really a true like conservative Republican. I think he's kind of a rhino. He's just someone in there that kind of masqueraded in there as a conservative as a Republican. Yeah. And so, you know, he's likely all. also someone that went to the young leaders conference and then, you know, World Economic Forum, the globalist agenda and narratives that they push to the leaders.

There's so many world leaders that have went through this World Economic Forum, young leaders conferences. I mean, Justin Trudeau was one of them. There's been so many others. I mean, especially across Europe, including France's President Macron. I mean, I think also the guy in the UK, I can't remember as Kai or Starmer. There's been so many of them. and you wonder why all their policies look so much the same,

which is basically this New World Order globalist agenda, is because they all go and get indoctrinated at the World Economic Forum that is heavily funded by the globalist. And then the globalist, I believe, push and put them in power, whether it be by still in elections, or whether it be by heavy money influence by the world's richest people. And so there's a reason why that nations across the world have open borders, with the exception of places like Russia and China and Hungary,

I don't know if Hungary still does, but I know that they were locked down. They were really fighting that. And European Union was coming down on them saying basically, we're going to tariff everything that comes in or out of your country. We're going to screw you over. And that was all because Hungary just wanted to stay out of it. They did not want mass immigration across their borders. And so what did the European Union do?

Well, they came down and tried to destroy Hungary. And so I don't know. I have not looked into the hungry situation as of late, but I do need to get back and look into that. But all of that say this, you know, this is a deal where drug cartels do cause a ton of damage and they are heavily used by outside forces, whether it be the New World Order or globalist, whether it be Russia or China, and I think it's all of the above.

And I think for sure that you can look at China and Russia to say that they do have influence in Venezuela. And so is it maybe why the United States government is starting to ramp up their operations in the Caribbean, possibly? And so Trump's administration basically resurrected the Monroe Doctrine language openly. Both John Bolton and Mike Pompeo explicitly invoked it when addressed in Venezuela and Cuba saying that the Monroe Doctrine is alive and well. And that was code for we will not allow Chinese or Russian-backed narco states in our backyard. So the Monroe Doctrine basically gives the U.S. political and historical justification to take these actions that we're seeing in the Caribbean.

But it goes deeper than that. Now, I want to play a clip from Fox News, Jesse Waters, where he talks about these B-52s that are arriving in the Caribbean right outside of Venezuela. And so you might think, well, are we really going to use B-52 bombers, the same bombers that actually took out allegedly Iran's nuclear facilities? I mean, we're talking about these bombers are capable of blowing up a lot of shit. I mean, I'm talking about entire countries. These bombers are capable of carrying our biggest weaponry. They are carrying our biggest nuclear missiles or nuclear bombs, I guess you can say. And so this is a report from Jesse Water just a few days ago. Listen.

Fox News alert B-52 bombers are flying off the coast of Venezuela. Trump's not bluffing. Right now, more than 10,000 U.S. soldiers are built up in the Caribbean, on ships in Puerto Rico, locked and loaded. Special operations helicopters were just seen flying 90 miles from Venezuela's coast. The shopper units used by Delta Force, Navy SEALs, and the Green Berets. The Black Hopes were spotted. off the coast of Trinidad. They're very important for search and rescue missions. Also spotted little birds. They're smaller but faster. Designed for quick insertion of special operators behind enemy lines. The ghost was also confirmed to be in the Caribbean. That's the nickname for MV Ocean Trader.

It's the kind of ship that doesn't want to be found. It's designed for black ops and special missions because it's dark and blends in with cargo. There's more. 10% of the U.S. naval power is now in the region. It's a major shift. There's subs, several destroyers, and F-35 fighters in Puerto Rico. That's on top of all the Coke boats getting smoked to pieces by the week. Kilos of cocaine are washing ashore. Don't tell Hunter. Dozens of bad ambris becoming shark bait. Scott Maduro's attention, he's the dictator of the narco state, a very bad And we just doubled the bounty on his head. It's now 50 mil. According to the New York Times, Maduro offered us a dominant stake in Venezuela's oil,

gold, and mineral wealth and promised to cut ties with Russia and China. And Trump and Rubio said no. That tells me the gunboat diplomacy is going to end up with no Maduro and a Venezuela aligned with us, not Putin or Chi. American action in Latin America hasn't always ended well. look at the Bay of Pigs. Other times, it's a piece of cake. It's our backyard, and Trump's just reestablishing the Monroe Doctrine, aka the Dunro Doctrine. Hopefully a Venezuelan general does the right thing and collects the $50 million bounty.

No one wants a messy conflict in South America. Maduro controls drug traffickers who are pretty strapped. They have military-grade weapons, and Biden let hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans into the country. They could be activated. But if Trump can pull this off and kick China and Russia out of Venezuela after what he did with the Iranians, it'll give them a lot of power to deter Russia and Ukraine and China and Taiwan. Now, when Trump was recently asked about Maduro and all the things that he's willing to give up, right, he said, I'm willing to give up everything. Oil, you name it, I am willing to give it up.

And that's definitely the wrong accent. This is not India. This is Venezuela. I don't know how to do the accent very good. but come again. No, that's wrong accent again. Yeah,

I'm not going to do that. But anyways, let's just move on. Let's move on. So, yeah, so when he was recently asked by reporters and he said,

look, he's willing to kind of give up everything, you know, he's wanting to do this. And Maduro himself said, look, I'm willing to cut ties

with China and Russia, which we're going to get into. How much involvement does China and Russia actually have in Venezuela? Because is this the bigger mission? Right? Is this Trump's bigger mission?

Is it really about drugs or is it about China and Russia influence because you have to think about this if we have 10% of our navy in the region over 10,000 troops right now that are deployed to that region as well that are just waiting for shit to pop up. Do you really think that we have 10,000 troops and it's possible we have 10,000 troops there for these drug cartels and sex trafficking. But I think the bigger deal is here is that how much is Russia and especially China going to come to the defense of what they believe that they are entitled to and own in Venezuela because this is almost like a battleground. It's like when you're a bully or you or your

bully says, meet me across the street from the school and we're going to fight, right? Well, that's kind of a neutral playing ground. Both countries feel like that they need influence here. And especially after the Monroe doctor in the United States, this is on our back door, kind of similar to Ukraine to where it's like a proxy. Exactly. A proxy country. Yes. And so for example, Russia felt like that the United States and NATO was encroaching on their territory through Ukraine, although Ukraine was not NATO, but what did the Biden-Harris administration do leading up to the war with Ukraine? They kept saying, no, no, we're going to bring them into NATO, Russia. Yeah, we are.

We're going to bring them into NATO. Just wait. Just wait. And so Russia's like, oh, okay, fine. You want to bring them into NATO? And we're not going to talk anymore than fine. We're going to invade them and we're going to make sure that shit doesn't happen. This is essentially, in my opinion, kind of exactly what is happening in Venezuela.

This is an invasion that's probably going to happen on behalf of the United States to keep out Russia and China. Because, you know, there's a reason why Russia and China are besties now. Part of that is because of the Biden-Harris administration when we decided that we were going to just completely take Ukraine's side, not even talk to Russia or China or anybody else, especially Russia during this time. And so what did Russia and China do? Well, we essentially took everything from Russia the best we could. We tariffed everything. We took all their, their elitist ships. Yeah, but guess who Russia is getting all their stuff from?

China. Venezuela, too. Yeah, and Venezuela. No, no, no. They're getting their oil from Venezuela. Yeah, well, they're getting some of their oil from Venezuela. But they're also, you also have to understand that Venezuela is getting arms from Russia. So there's kind of this exchange.

You're like, hey, give us weapons. We'll give you oil. You know, we'll have this kind of exchange. Same thing with China. Same exact thing. And we're going to go over that in a minute. But when Trump was asked about this by reporter, this is what he had to say. Listen.

He offered everything in his country, all the natural resources. He even recorded a message to you in English recently, offering mediation. He has offered everything. He's offered everything. You're right. You know why? Because he doesn't want to fuck around with the United States. Thank you, everybody.

Thank you. So as you see there, Trump didn't really spare any words when he said they're not going to fuck around with the United States or they'll find out. That's basically what he said, right? And that is the message that he's been sending with the drugboat stuff. But as I said, I don't think Trump is sending this necessarily for the drug cartels, particularly. I think that he knows and understands the involvement of China and Russia in this region, which is why he has to make very strong stances. But that's why I also go back and say the reason why we have 10% of our Navy, including B-52s, F-35s, all of our most

advanced ships, battle carriers, submarines, you name it. We have them all, not all there, but we have a lot of them there. I mean, this is literally more military hardware in the area than we have had, I believe, during the entirety of the Iran-Israel conflict or the Iran-Hamas conflict. I mean, so if that tells you anything, what the significance or importance of this is, it's very important. So I want to talk about this also. Who is Maduro?

Is it disputed that he's the president? Well, technically right now, he is exercise in power in Venezuela. This is Nicholas Maduro. He was officially declared the winner of the July 28th, 2024 presidential election by the Venezuelan National Electoral Council or C&E. He was sworn in for the next presidential term beginning January 10th, 2025, and then the election was widely viewed as deeply flawed. The many international observers, opposition groups, and independent analysts assert that in

In 2024 elections, they failed to meet basic public standards of fairness, transparency, and credibility. The specific criticisms were the electoral authority or the C&E did not even release detailed vote tallies or precinct level results publicly, which departs from past practices. And so the opposition collected and published tally sheets from many voting centers, which they and outside analysts say that they show Edmondo Gonzalez winning by a very wide margin. This is the pro-Western president. More conservative, he's kind of middle of the road.

He's not really right. He's definitely not left, but he's more center-right than anything. So the Organization of America's States or OAS declared that the results announced by the Venezuelan electoral authorities cannot be recognized. Other international bodies, including the EU, European Union, some Latin American nations and analysts refuse to accept the Maduro's claims victory has legitimacy while calling for audits or recounts. Now, the opposition claims and some governments have recognized Gonzalez. The United States on August 1, 2024, if formally recognized Edmondo Gonzalez as the winner of the election, stating that the evidence overwhelmingly indicated he got more votes than Maduro. So some other governments and international actors also expressed recognition of support for Gonzalez or at least refusal to accept Maduro's results. And so the opposition of many Venezuelans have protested and repudiated Maduro's proclaimed to victory.

Gonzalez left the country amid the dispute after a Venezuelan court issued an arrest warrant for him. Gonzalez sought refuge and asylum abroad, e.g. in Spain in September of 2024. Now, what does this kind of remind you of, right? This reminds you of the 2020 U.S. election, right? So Donald Trump, a lot of people felt including himself that he was rigged or the election was rigged. It was stolen from him. And what happened right after they allegedly stole the election from Trump? Well, he got brought up on 34 plus felony counts.

He had everything come down the pipeline of him. What they wanted to do was prosecute him, put him in prison for him to never, ever see the light of day. They never wanted this Trump administration in right now because there's a lot of reasons why they didn't want it. Now, what a lot of people are saying right now is like, oh, yeah, well, Trump promised Epstein and he promised this and yes, he did. And I'm really waiting on this and we're going to do his show on that. But what a lot of people are really waiting on is the indictments. And we're starting to see some of them already come down the pipeline of people that were involved in a lot of the stuff that was kind of leading up to.

We know we have Letitia James, which was heavily involved in the 34 felony counts in New York. Yeah, and that's what she campaigned on, that she was going to put Trump away. Yeah, absolutely. That was her campaign slogan. Yeah. So you have that, and now she's indicted. And I think it's for like some kind of mortgage stuff. But, you know, I don't know exactly what will actually happen or play out with that.

You also have Bolton this indicted. You have Comey this indicted. And there's likely a lot more to come. And hopefully we're going to see the likes of Falci and the people. people that actually did crimes, right? Do you think Fauci is going to come? I don't know. I don't think so.

I don't know because I think he's a free man. Well, I think he's a free man only because if he think about it, when Trump has all of these meetings in the Oval Office and he brings in the Pfizer CEO and all these people that he's supposedly great friends with now, trust me, they're all going to protect Falschi. They're going to make sure the Trump administration does not indict Falschi. Just the same way. Didn't he pardon him for anything that he did? Yeah.

Yeah, he pardoned him. well, the auto pen pardoned him, right? It wasn't Biden that pardoned it. It wasn't Biden that pardoned. Like, Biden literally didn't even sign anything. It was an auto pin that signed every single thing the Biden did. So whoever was behind Biden is the one that pardoned faulty. Hell, it could have been faulty for all we know.

We don't know who was technically behind Biden, who is pulling the strains and controlling the government. But we know it wasn't Biden. And there's still a faction of me in my soul that believes that Trump's not fully in control of our government, right? I mean, there's a lot of things. things that I don't think that Trump has control over. And I don't 100% know why.

I think probably, you know, if you look back on his two past assassination attempts, just like I think yesterday, the secret service found a, I guess what you can, a hunting stand. Yeah, deer stand in the woods that would have direct eyesight to Air Force One when it lands in Palm Beach. But, you know, is that just an old stand maybe that wasn't taken down or is it a new one? They're going to do all the forensics on that. But we don't know.

I think that Trump, as long as he behaves the way that whoever is technically in control of our government behaves the way they want him to, his life will be spared. And I think, in my opinion, that maybe someone has communicated that with him by saying, look, you know, there are some things you can do. Go to Venezuela War. Go fight Russia. Go fight China. Go do this.

Go fight Iran. Do this. But you are not touching this and you're not touching that. And if you do, guess what? Next time we're not going to miss. That's what I genuinely think. And I think that no matter how much we want to think that Trump is this big and powerful man that he is, there's a lot of things that he's done so far that kind of leads a little bit of straight to that.

There is, but I think overall he's done a great job. He's done a fabulous job. And I'm not all pro-Trump. I know and I see some of the things on like, oh, God, oh, God. And I'm going to hear that now. Wait and tell what, I'm going to see what Chad says about this or that. You know, I know he's not perfect, but no man is perfect. Except for me.

Except for you, Chad. Of course. I'm just kidding. But I think that so far he's doing a great job. And I do agree that there are other influences on top of Trump. And I think you're right that I think his life is on the line is the only reason why he does some of the things he does. And listen, I'll be 100% very clear with you on why I think Trump understands that he has to obey whoever is really in control and in charge. it's because think about it this way.

Now, Trump was not the president in Butler, Pennsylvania on that day that he almost got assassinated then. It was almost another Charlie Kirk, but on a much bigger level because this was the leading candidate as the GOP frontrunner. And obviously, you saw what happened with the election. I mean, he technically won in the landslide. So, you know, if Trump would have been assassinated that day, this country would look very, very different than it already does.

And the country already looks different after the Charlie Kirk's assassination. but I think if anything, the fact that they didn't kill him that day is almost as bad in some ways as if they would have. And I say they, I'm saying that he had secret service protection. And not only did he have his own secret service protection or his own personal security, he also had secret service. And he had a lot of the guys that were close to him over the years. But there were also some people that were inserted. He didn't have necessarily full protection like he should have. But I think it was a direct message to Trump to say, even with Secret Service, you know, we can make things happen to where you are not fully always protected.

And so going forward, just understand that even with your Secret Service, even with the most highly advanced security you have, we can still make things happen to where you just mislaping one little thing and you're done. And it can happen anywhere at any time. And he understands that. And I think it could happen even in his sleep or something to that caliber. Well, yeah, I mean, listen, do I do I trust and believe that every single person in Secret Service detail is 100% for the security and safety of Trump? No, do I think that there are rats and moles in the Secret Service 100%. I guarantee you there are multiple Secret Service agents that are put there on behalf of someone, at some faction, that they're going to either make a call, do something that they shouldn't do. and the reality is you might say,

well, how would that even be possible? Because sometimes as Trump or the administration, who you think that you trust, you just don't know what their background is. You don't know who they're really working for. You don't know what their influences. And even people that you trust that you probably had in the White House before.

Oh, yeah. That the people that you've had in a White House that you have shook hands with, or you've done this, you've done that. Don't think that maybe someone that they have infiltrated into your secret service detail. Absolutely. I mean,

I'm just saying, there are really good intelligence agencies around the world. There are really good terrorists. There are really good factions of bad actors around the world that are really good at shit like that.

Well, you just think about Charlie Kirk, for example, you know, Candice Owings coming out and basically saying the people that you trusted, you shouldn't have trusted because those are the people that helped get you killed.

Well, those are usually, but those are usually. of people that will get you killed, especially, you know, especially in, in, in, in, in things that we're talking about like presidencies, you know, it's not just going to be a random lapse of, I don't know, I don't know what you can say just, or judgment or or. Well, I'm like you talking about there's people coming out and accusing his wife to having something to do with it. Yeah.

Or the people in Turning Point USA, the people that were closest to Charlie Kirk had a role in this is what people. are saying. And if that is the truth, then think about on the level of Trump himself. Yeah. And especially think about the government. I mean, you know, I mean, Charlie Kirk's one thing. I mean, it's, in some ways, it might be, it might make less sense that all of that conspiracy could happen in Turning Point USA or Charlie Kirk or just things around him because he's not the president. But think about on a presidential level now, think about how corrupt and how demonic in some ways the deep state and government is.

Think about how advanced intelligence they are. Think about the assets they have. Think about the AI now that they can operate and utilize to do anything they want. And it's not, in my opinion, it's not just U.S. intelligence. It's foreign intelligence that also has 100% stake in play and power in this thing as well. So it goes back to even JFK. I mean, JFK was, like I said, you buck the horse once and you get back on. you know, it's like doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result is called insanity.

And so what they're kind of telling Trump, I believe, is you keep doing the same thing over and over again. You think that you run this show, just keep on doing that and see what happens. And I think that's why his hands are tied in some way. So I want to also talk about the China and Russia involvement in this, right? Because this is obviously pretty big. Now we have to ask ourselves, like, what is the Chinese Russia involvement, right? And China and Russia are the two most important foreign backers of Nicholas Madura. And so their support is multidimensional, financial, military, diplomatic, intelligence,

and it has helped Maduro stay in power, obviously despite the deep domestic crisis that we're seeing in Venezuela and across the region. And so here's some kind of points of what Russia does or is strongly believed to do in Venezuela. First of all, military and security. Now, they do arms cells, they do training, they do intelligence, advisors, deployments, counterintelligence cooperation, all for their cartel. And when we get into a video clip that we're going to play in just a little bit, knowing and understanding how the cartel essentially operates Venezuela, who's training those people?

Well, it's Russia and China. And we're starting with Russia first. Now, Russia is among Venezuela's largest arms suppliers. In November 2024, Venezuela and Russia signed intelligence gathering and counter espioning Nodge agreements. In May of 2025, Maduro and Putin signed a strategic partnership treaty, strengthened in military and energy cooperation. Russia has provided logistical support to help Venezuela sell oil abroad to skirt U.S.

sanctions, sometimes using obscure channels. Russia business interests have also been involved in Venezuela's Petro-Oil-backed cryptocurrency launches. Russia has also supplied intelligence, technical aid, and possibly radio-electronic interception capabilities to Venezuelan forces. Russia mercenaries or contractors are frequently alleged to be in or around Venezuela through Russian authorities often deny this. Obviously, they do because the United States does the exact same shit, and they always have.

I mean, that's what the United States does as well. Then you think about energy finance and trade. So credit lines, oil deals, helping Venezuela circumvent sanctions, co-investments. Russia helps Venezuela move oil to overseas buyers to bypass U.S. sanctions using alternative routes or intermediaries. And Russia entities have backed or helped, uh, structure petro and other schemes tied to Venezuelan oil. So Russia recognizes Maduro as the legitimate president in international diplomacy.

And so the strategic partnership signed in 2025 includes energy cooperation, oil, gas trade as a core component to this whole thing. And then you think about diplomacy, propaganda, and political cover. Russia media outlets like RT and Sputnik often amplify pro-Madura narratives. Russia uses its UN and international influence to shield Maduro against U.S. or West and condemnation. And then the strategic partnership agreement includes coordination in international for joint oppositions to sanctions and et cetera.

So Russia has this kind of geopolitic countering the U.S. in Venezuela versus Russian or with Russian, a kind of a foothold in Western hemisphere. Russia has a huge standing in Venezuela. They have a lot of influence in Venezuela right on our back doorstep. And then you think about the energy. Russia and Venezuela are both oil producers by cooperation. operating. Russia helps defend its own energy strategy and influence global markets. So, obviously, with the Ukraine and Russia war, when we have been trying to basically kill off Russia

as much as we possibly could, enlarge thanks, by the way, to the Biden-Harris administration. And it's something that the United States has always done is tried to destroy Russia. And they have. You have to understand that, you know, Putin's going to do the same shit that the United States did in Ukraine. That's exactly what he's doing in Venezuela. And he's saying, look, dude, Trump. You remember when you said you're going to stop this war in 24 hours? Bet. Because that's exactly what Putin's saying to Trump now. And now it's not so much a bromance anymore. It's like, hey, you know what? I'm sick of your bullshit. And now we're going to play. This is a chess game now. It is. And you think about economic gains, the diplomatic allies,

the symbolic value of this, supporting a anti-U.S. regime, it kind of boost Russia's image and self-described fight against Western, I guess values or kind of especially the the Western, I guess, hatred towards Russia. So they have to kind of boast all this up. And also China has the same type of thing. And so this kind of Russia's ability to deliver large-scale support is kind of constrained by its own economic pressure. And then the scale of support may be more symbolic of tactical arms or advisors rather

in full-scale intervention. And anything about China and their support from Maduro, finance, loans and investments, large loans, infrastructure investments, oil for loan deals, development funding, China has extended tens of billions of dollars in loans and credit to Venezuela over many years. And so many of those loans are backed by commitments to future oil deliveries. Chinese firms have been involved in infrastructure projects in Venezuela. I mean, we're talking about energy, rail, telecommunications, etc. And China has also participated in Venezuela's Belt and Road Initiative cooperation

and upgraded relations to all-weather partner status. In 2025, President Z, said China will firmly support Venezuela and safeguard in sovereignty. and social stability. And then you think about the trade and energy and oil. Venezuela is a supplier of oil to China. Chinese markets are important for Venezuela export strategy. And China has congratulated Mardur on his reelection in 2024 and affirmed support for diplomatically.

China has, in the past, sold military and dual-use equipment radar surveillance tech to Venezuela. And then China has also backed Venezuela's sovereignty claims and condemned U.S. bullying over military operations. China also maintains diplomatic recognition. of Maduro's government and congratulated his re-election publicly. So there are some people that believe that Russia and China potentially was the ones that overthrew the probably duly elected president, Gonzalez, and put in Maduro.

Very similar to what the United States has done, I believe, in Ukraine. Yeah. Absolutely. Same exact thing. And you also have to remember, Venezuela has not ever been a sweet little sovereign country. No. They, in fact, operate with the elites getting all the money and the rest of the country is poor. They don't give any money.

Like, there's a lot of people in Venezuela don't even have electricity right now. Yeah. They don't have roads. They're dirt roads. They have, like, nothing. And only the top percent, the elites, are getting any kind of money they're getting from oil. No, I 100 percent agree with that. And so I want to get to this clip also.

And this is a clip from Info Wars. but this guy, the reason I wanted to play this, Patrick Byrne, he told Alex Jones exclusively about this Doge bombshell discovery that verify kind of what we already knew about election fraud worldwide, but he was the CEO of Overstock.com. And he was, he actually fled the country back during the Biden Harris administration. Overstock.com was a huge company. I don't know if they still are. I don't even know what they're doing nowadays or if they're even still in existence.

but he said that this investigation proved that the CIA and USAID worked with communist China, George Soros, Open Society Foundation, and Venezuela to still the 2020 election and establish an election fraud control grid, which is what he claimed, which is why he was basically ousted and had a, they had a $25 million bounty on this guy's head. This was the CEO of Overstock.com. Wow, I didn't even know that. Yeah, so this is what he has to say because he has been heavily involved on this shit. especially with Venezuela.

So I want to play this part of Alex Jones. We're going to break it down for you. But I think this is important. We try not to play as much like Alex Jones stuff is late. But this one was important, especially what we're talking about. All right, folks. Patrick Byrne has only until recently, you know, it's come out. He didn't want to make a big deal, but worked in U.S. intelligence and for the

Justice Department and a lot of high-level international espionage. He is here in studio with us now. He reached out and said, I'm in town. I've got big updates on. Venezuela and the Democrats and how they're stealing elections, it ties in everything. I said, please come in. Then he gets there and he says, oh, you're going to want to see these graphics that Doge just got. This hasn't broken yet. And this proves that it's not just common as China with Venezuela manipulating elections with the Democrats. It is the CIA and the Soros Open Society Foundation

with U.S. aid, which is the CIA on record. Now, then I like, boom, my head blows off. and we were airing like a little three-minute promo, and I said, wait, we need to go get the stuff from three weeks ago where Gabbard released and confirmed the documents that in 2020, the communist Chinese were shipping in plain loads of ballots only marked for Biden for key battlegrounds. They got caught. Whistleblowers came forward.

You reported at the time, but they never got in trouble. And the FBI knew about it. And the FBI knew about it. You're the expert to tell us. I'm just going for memory. The FBI knew about it, low-level. they tried to stop it. They got told by higher up, shut it down.

It's a joint CIA operation. Now, that's the director of the Office of National Intelligence. That's just one of the huge things that's broke the last month that got almost no attention. And that totally backs what he's saying now with this Doge document that we're breaking here, showing where the funding, everything comes from. So this is huge. And if you know the history of Congress China and Shane Kajek in 49, they double-crossed. Congress sent weapons to help the nationalists, but the CIA, it's declassified, put Mao in power

and then had this long, secret, sickening relationship and made them the most favored nation and all the rest of this. Now Trump is completely breaking with that and is cutting off China, and so this is all geopolitical, it all ties together. So Patrick, start over, but we should start here. This is why, and it's on record, we pulled up the Newsweek articles and others. Venezuela put a $25 million bounty out on you. because they're so angry that you've reverse-engineered all this.

Now, Maduro's got a 50 million bounty out on him by Trump. So you just walk through this and then go through the Doge exclusive documents. The CIA under Biden and all the rest of this, working with the Chikoms of Venezuela to engage in this, and we have the Gabbard documents on top of it backing it up even further. So Patrick Byrne, go ahead. Okay. First, just to have the bounty on me, because you remember the Venezuelan election last July 28th?

Like the whole world said is nonsense, and they 17 Latin American states said we won't recognize it, Carter, all that stuff. Do you remember the out of hand? They think I hacked their election. And I'll tell you why they think I hacked their election. In a typical Venezuelan election, what happens is the dictator gets 2 million votes, the opposition gets 7 million votes,

and then they stuff five and a half million ballots. So they two and a half million beat seven and they win time and time and time again. Four years ago, they introduced a new system. You have to give not just your ID, but your thumbprint when you vote in Venezuela. They say it's for security. What their system really does is it ties your ballot when you're Venezuela and you vote. It ties your ballot to your image, to your thumbprint. So they can look up how you voted, Alex, and go in and see how you voted and arrest the right people.

Now, that creates a problem. How do you stuff five and a half million ballots when you don't have those five and a half million thumbs? They have a secret tool that is in every precinct that there are people used to, it basically, it generates the nine-digit code as if a valid thumb was put in it and opens the machines so it can take a ballot. And so that's how it works. So they have this secret tool. And that tool was working right up through Saturday, July 27th at midnight. but at 1201, their secret cheating tool started spitting out random nine-digit numbers. They couldn't stuff.

By noon, they went crazy because all over the country they weren't able to stuff. They canceled Venezuela, it canceled all its normal. Normally they have TV, and as the votes roll in all day, they say, oh, what do you know? We just won by hair again. This time, they canceled all their television. They came out the next morning, and we said, hey, we won 51, 49, screw you. And they rounded up 2,000 protest leaders. and the whole world is like said this is a garbage election.

Well, 10 days later, when they opened up their secret cheating tool, they discovered something that made them think that I might know something about these facts, Alex, and they came to the inclusion of the, I don't think I did it. So that's why they put the $25 million bounty on me. Now, going forward, I have for four years been saying this all leads through Venezuela to the ultimate chairman of the board of this operation is China of this whole system. Iran is the paymaster. They are the secret paymaster.

So none of this shows up in bank wires the U.S. can see. But what we've learned going through Doge, Elon Musk's Doge data, we have some researchers put together just in like two weeks ago what I opened the show telling you. In reality, this garbage technology has spread through the world not just because of China, but because of the CIA. They have been under the guise of modernizing elections. They've had the USAID. fund and George Surro's staff and Arlington, Virginia NGO called CEPs, which you should probably

look up Ceps. And that, that's Ceps. Its mission is to modernize elections by spreading SmartMatic. And all over the world, now if you pull up the next graphic, you will see, and Alex is putting this up online, you can see all the nations. We have been funded 26 nations from the Philippines, you know, to Bolivia, Estonia, to put in SmartMatic. This is all breaking right now at Real Alex Jones.

No one knows this. We put this together two weeks ago. The government has just received this data themselves. So this has been posted at Real Alex Jones. The CIA was behind this with China, not the top of the CIA. Mike Pompeo and his CIA was involved in the 2020 hack. The top of the CIA was. And that's why they're going ballistic.

And they've been behind the spread of this technology through 26. And, you know, everywhere they put this technology, It started July 2009, which is six months after Obama came in, Obama and Brennan, everywhere they put this technology. We've researched they've had within a few years that gets some election where suddenly the elect an AOC or Obama or some left-wing person that they never expected to elect. It's all been on this technology that you, the taxpayer, paid for this Arlington, Virginia, Ceps, to spread through the world.

Now, I've known you a long time. interviewed probably the first time six, seven years ago, but everything you've talked about has been proven now. You too. You're the most, you're the greatest forgotten. It's amazing this stuff you said 25 years ago that's all come true. But I mean, you're the guy on the ground. So the point is, is without getting into it all, you're a loyal

American. You try to work with Democrats and Republicans, but you've been in intelligence a long time. That's not secret now. And and so we're trying to loyally get to control the country. But the, the issue is Gabber just released three weeks ago, anybody can pull this up, that China was doing this with the CIA, digitally, as you said, in 2020 and with the mail-in ballots, shipping them filled out for Biden. And so that is massive. And then now we've got this Doge investigation.

And of course, it's the CIA that goes around the world with the State Department for Election Integrity. and then it came out that they helped steal the election from Bolsonaro under Biden, and we're advising them how to censor and control, and that's, again, the CIA, literally the CIA wanting to put communist in because they'll work with them better. Same thing in Venezuela. So we think our government's really against Venezuela. We really think it's against, you know, Lula and communists in Brazil, but they're not as long as their clients and work with.

them. And so this is a massive scandal added to what Gabbard released. I can't do it's beyond that, if I may. I think it's not just, you're still thinking the old paradigm. I think that they have a new paradigm, which is that they're just globalists. Now, there's a dispute. Should the capital? No, no, I agree. They parasitically just feed on the people. They wanted the globalists. Some globalists want to make the capital of the globe somewhere in Europe. Some globalists want to make it in Beijing, but they share this globalist vision. Oh, no, no, no, that's right. No, definitely China was part of the globalist order.

It split off. It's a competing globalist, transhumanist. Oh, absolutely. What do you make of the fact, like, it looked like they were aligned, and we got through the 2020 election, and within a year or so, Soros was coming out and saying Xi Jinping's the greatest friend of, greatest enemy of humanity, blah, blah, blah. And then about a year ago, he reversed in their tummy again, right? Yeah. Well, I mean, look, look, the biggest thing is the Chikoms agreed to a one-child policy and depopulation. They were to be given all their earth minerals.

They would be the industrial power. Work with the globalist middlemen to make them have control of the West, leverage us out, but they weren't supposed to expand into the South China Sea. Instead, they've expanded everywhere. It was clear 20 years ago they'd double crossed. By 15 years ago, we did the Asia pivot, but they had so infiltrated us that it couldn't be done, even inside the globalist corrupt order. And then just finally enough American elites just out of survival mode.

And Silicon Valley said, no, China's taking over. and going to win the AI race, we've got to do this out of self-preservation. So enough elites got behind Trump, not even because they overall agree with America first for what he's doing, but because they knew the chikoms had beaten them. And so this is out of desperation. That's why you see the flip-flopping and the gyrating that's going on. All right. So that is the Alex Jones piece.

And listen, I think there's a lot to kind of break down here. Right. So this political insider, Patrick Byrne, he joined Alex Jones. He talks about kind of. his, I guess you can say journey with trying to figure out like what was the deal with the 2020 election. How did China actually influence Venezuela? Then Venezuela had this massive, I guess you can say restructuring of elections globally.

China was involved in heavily. So if you look at these electronic voting machines, all of the stuff that we had, we really started seeing during the 2020 election where many people thought that there's no way in hell that Biden could have possibly received the amount of votes he did, especially because being a guy that was already seen all the time. And then we also know if you look at the movie in the documentary 2000 mules, I think it's the name of the movie, where they expose all of the ballot harvesting,

the ballot stuffing, the mules that would go across the country. There were 2,000 of them. Yeah. That essentially besides just the electronic voting, they made sure that Joe Biden won. And what we're starting to find out is potentially some of these ballots for Chinese. And don't forget, that's why Tucker basically was fired from Fox TV.

Oh, absolutely. And Fox News is because he called out the voting machine. I'm not even going to say their name. But that's why he got fired and because they were going to sue him. Yeah, well, they did sue them. They sued Fox News for $700 plus million that they had to pay. And from what we understand is one of the stipulations is you have to get rid of Tucker Carlson. So Tucker Carlson, by the way, has not really talked a ton about the voting fraud and all that stuff after

he left Fox News and that's probably for a good reason. I'm sure they have handcuffed him and the same this is part of the settlement even after you leave Fox News. If you ever mentioned this again, then we'll sue you to oblivion. And this is all a globalist takeover. This is a coordinated system of elitist that have full control

over courts. We've seen this with not only the far left prosecutors and AGs and you name it like Leticia James and even the Evan Bragg. Alvin Bragg.

I mean, even the guy out there in California to where, you know, they would allow these violent riots to happen across the country. They would then, by the way, all of these prosecutors that were installed, I believe, by Soros and the elitist and the globalist-backed foundations, all of these violent riots would typically happen in these cities to where these prosecutors are already in place, to where the people that would get arrested, if they would get arrested, were just set out right on without bail. Yeah, without bail. And if they were arrested and had bailed, then Kamala Harris was urging people to help these people get out of jail. Exactly. So, you know, I want to talk about this because we're at a pivotal point in America. We're at a pivotal point in American politics and just our nation as a whole. You know, you think about these no kings protests.

I want to break this down in my mind, kind of how I'm thinking about this, just especially based on the clip we just listened to. if we know that protests are coordinated and funded, right? We know that. We know that we've seen that during the Biden Harris minute. We saw it with Black Lives Matter. We saw it with the Antifa protests. We've seen it with the ICE protest. But if you see these protests that are being heavily funded, they're being coordinated,

they're being organized by these NGOs that are most of the time backed by the globalist foundations. And you see all this stuff. And now we're starting to see not just this is the second No King's protest. we just recently had this past weekend. We also had another one about six months ago where they said no kings. This was a whole agenda. They want to put it all over mainstream media because in my mind, I think what is happening

is that this government with Doge, with Trump administration, and with others are starting to figure out the money lines and the trails of who is doing what, how they're doing it, how they're corrupting elections, how they're still in elections. they're starting to see this massive global network of corruption. And so there's a reason also, I believe, that the No King's protest is being funded right now. Because the No King's protest, they want to go ahead and get ahead of the curb by saying, oh, no, we're not going to have anyone that's going to circumvent what we created, which is our election model, our modernized elections.

We've got to make sure that we can not backtrace on this whatsoever. we want to continue to use our modernized elections, which means essentially to make sure that we can rig and still elections like we want to. And the only reason that didn't happen, I believe, during the 2024 election was because there was a lot of lawsuits. There was a lot of people in place. Well, Laura Trump was in place too. And I think she was a major player in the game to make sure that there was no lying and

cheating going on. Yeah. And so they try to get ahead of the game there. But like, you know, what is the Trump administration going to do this time? The problem is that we have to somehow keep the globalists and other nations out of our elections. And, you know, would that at some point in time be that the rights start still in elections in some way to where they say, you know what? We're done with the globalists. We're done with all this shit.

We're going to just go ahead and forego elections. I mean, this is what, you know, when we start seeing this no king stuff, I think they're already kind of, the globalists are already starting to see potentially what's coming to where it's like the administration that's in power right now. They see our power move. They see our infrastructure behind the scenes. So we have to start coordinating our factions of people behind the scenes to protest the no kings because maybe this is what this administration believes is the only way that Republicans will ever see the light of day again if we, you know, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I do.

If their system takes over, Republicans will never be able to control the United States again. We will be like UK. We'll be like Australia. We'll be like Canada. And we will never be a sovereign nation again. But have you noticed a difference between the protests from now, like the No King's protests that have happened? There's been, I think, two. And the riots or the protests with BLM and Antifa.

I think a major difference that we're seeing, there is a shift in these protests. The shift from the summer of love, you know, it was a summer of love, but you saw buildings burning down in the background. You saw major looting going on. You've seen businesses being taken over and people stealing everything and then burning them down. These protests that are going on, they know King's protests have been extremely nonviolent, in my opinion. And when I see these people protesting, all I see is older white people. So who is paying these older white people or are they out there because they truly believe that Trump is a king? because let me just tell you, if Trump was a king, he wouldn't let them protest in the beginning.

Yeah. No, I get it. I mean, look, I think still is probably likely the same funding organization that we've seen with BLM and Antifa and all those. But the question is going to be, what is this administration going to do? And how are they going to basically dismantle the fraud and the instability of our elections from foreign influence? Because this is what we have to deal with coming up in 2020. and even 2026. And I think in some parts, you know, yes, the Trump administration is kind of shooting ourselves

in the foot to some degree. And I think maybe that could be also coordinated to make it look like, hey, there's a reason why people like Mandami or Mandani, whatever his name is in New York, is going to win this election, probably in a landslide. I mean, the only person you have to put up in New York is Cuomo, literally, the guy that basically sent. I would take him over a million dollars over the other dude. Well, either way.

But he also sent, you know, elderly people to die in nursing homes because he wanted to boost COVID numbers because of, I mean, we've talked a lot about that. I know, but do you think he was on purpose murdering people? Well, I mean, I think that there are doing it to boost numbers. But Cuomo was a guy that, you know, he, he let in all of these COVID patients into nursing homes. He, he had these massive ships outside of New York City that Trump gave him to put in any COVID patients. And instead of doing that, because Trump sent him, he put all these people back in nursing homes.

I mean, there's literally, I can't even. remember what the woman's name is on Fox News. I think she is, I think she's the one that's the weather girl that her family died because of that, because of his BS that happened in New York City. And the only person New York City has to put in place over Mandami is Cuomo. So who do you vote for, though? If you are in New York City, I would have to go with Cuomo. Everyone's going to vote for Mandami. Because not only that, you know, a lot of, look, the New York thing, 100% is Israel versus not Israel. And they, they know. and believe that Cuomo is influenced heavily by APAC.

If you look at his funding, it is. And if you look at Mandami, he is not that at all. And so more people think that even though he is like basically a communist and socialist, they feel like in their minds that he's more American than Cuomo. And that's the sad thing. I just want to say that Cuomo has come up 10 points in the last month as far as voters are concerned. I doubt he's going to win, though. I mean, you just can't present a guy that completely screwed over New York.

York during COVID and killed thousands and thousands of people. Yeah, but I hate to see what New York City comes to be if this other guy comes in. Well, New York City's been shit for like 10 years now. Yeah, but it's going to only get worse. It can't. Well, maybe, but maybe not. I mean, it's whatever. Let it burn to the ground.

If that's what it takes for people to finally wake up. And I don't, I'm not saying, by the way, that New Yorkers have a, they don't have anyone good to vote for, unfortunately. They don't have mandami. Well, what about that's a Shawnee or whatever, guys? I have no idea. I have no idea. The problem with politics nowadays is that most people just do not trust government or politics or politicians in any faction at all. And it's because everywhere you look, they're lying to you no matter who it is, no matter who you may have put support behind at one point in time, they're going to lie to you about something. And you don't ever know what the reason in their lying about that is. I mean, I go back to the Trump thing with the Epstein thing in particular, where it's like he called it a hoax and all this stuff where we know it's not a hoax. We know that is factually inaccurate. And yet, and I even remember when Trump was, you know, when he was doing press conference and said, you know what? If anybody wants to just go and ride this horse of Epstein and say that we must do this and we must release this, we don't need those voters anyway.

And I was like, dude, these are literally the voters that voted for you. Like, I mean, most of the people that voted for you want the transparency on the Epstein files unless you're a boomer. Well, they did want the transparency, but more importantly, they wanted our borders closed. Yeah, but they wanted the borders closed. but yes, he ran on borders, but he also ran on Napstein files. And this is something that seems like it should be a very easy thing to release. And yet he has not done so. But the question here is, is that what will happen with the election integrity going

forward in the United States? Will Trump become a king? Is that something that he could potentially do? Or what will the Republican Party or the people that are in power right now? What will they do? And let me tell you why I don't think Trump's going to become a king because, number one, Trump himself or the Trump administration is not the one. that is reign in power in America.

And that is the sad and scary thing. Yeah, it is scary. The scary thing is that whoever is in control, and if you listen to the Alex Jones piece right there, where the CIA potentially is heavily involved with the Chinese Communist Party, then we know essentially who is running the country. And so, you know, the only thing that the, I guess, administration can do now is figure out ways to stop China from any involvement in our elections.

Right. And somehow make elections fair again, And although even if we go back to the most basics of election integrity, like, you know, actually going to the polls and voting unless you have some type of, you know, element. Unless you're overseas. Or you have an element. Right. To where you, you know, you could get a mail-in ballot. Otherwise, you need to show up at polls and votes.

Yeah. Not because you're going on vacation. I think that's a stupid excuse. No, and we need paper ballots. We don't need mass mail-in balloting. We don't need any of that. But, you know, and this isn't about election integrity or any of that stuff. but it does somewhat tie into the Venezuela thing.

But what I want you guys to let us know is that do you think that the official narrative of the story of Venezuela as far as the way that the media is telling you, it's all drugs, do you think that's true? Or do you think what we're talking about is true? Do you think that China and Russia involvement is literally the, or I guess I should say likely the reasoning why we have so much military buildup in the region? And maybe we're just trying to kick out Russia and China out of our back door,

just like we just like Russia did I believe with Ukraine right or do you think it's even just bigger than that do you think it's something that we don't even see because that's a good question we don't 100% know right now but we did just want to talk about this cover this on tonight's episode um we're probably going to play this episode out tonight with uh play it with my song I don't give it yeah yeah I love it I would I would play it out with the original version but we won't do that because I'm trying to be more Christian nowadays and so we, you know, okay, we got to do that.

So guys, that's going to do it for us. We're going to be back all this week and next week. We're going to have a lot to talk about. We've got the Epstein thing. Candice Owens is about to release some new info on Charlie Kirk. She's been gone for about two weeks, I think now.

And so she said what she's about to unveil about what she's found out about the people that have backstabbed him is going to blow it wide open. We're looking forward to that also. But guys, we love you so very much. Thank you for hanging out with us. Until next time, peace out. Peace out, guys.
