After this regime change in Venezuela, I fear that we're going to see jobs just move south, because we're already hearing about big corporations lining up their trips to Venezuela for the next big business opportunity that exists, while Americans sit here with no options that are going to provide them with good [00:00:18] paying jobs and affordable health care. So we now live in a topsy turvy world where Marjorie Taylor Greene is the voice of reason on the right. But she is again in this situation and the attack on Venezuela. There are a couple of others that are, got this thing figured out [00:00:35] and that are actually America. First, we're going to show you those, but we're also going to show you a lot of MAGA influencers who are ecstatic about this and have totally forgotten that they were supposed to pretend to be anti-war. And they're, not great comments, to say the least, are also part of this story. [00:00:54] So we'll do all of that, and then we'll talk about who's going to win this, this portion of the MAGA Civil War. After Sharon gives you all the facts. Yeah. So let's fill people in. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene went on the record to oppose President [00:01:09] Donald Trump's regime change operation. Many other MAGA figures, they are siding with the Trump administration. So without further ado, let's take a look at who's for who's against the kidnaping of Nicolas Maduro. [00:01:25] We're going to start with Benny Johnson. Ladies and gentlemen, Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems. Were the voting systems being used at this time. And in these states and all around the world, they are Venezuelan by design [00:01:41] and by systems and storage facilities. And through their actual technology, these systems I have on extremely good authority can and do rig elections around the world. [00:01:57] And Nicolas Maduro might be Trump's final revenge for the election theft of 2020. If he begins to sing like a canary, which he will. They always do. Then who will he give up? Soros. [00:02:12] China. Left wing NGOs. Left wing billionaires. Who was funding his regime? How? They stole the election. He'll sing. He'll tell them everything. They got his wife. - This is why they took him alive. - You see where this is going, right? [00:02:29] Meanwhile, Matt Walsh stated this on X. I'm as reflexively noninterventionist as anyone can possibly be, but Venezuela appears to be a resounding victory in one of the most brilliant military operations in American history. [00:02:44] He goes on to say, if some. Let's get to the punchline, if some crappy little tinpot third world dictator is harming our country or interfering with our national interests, we should do exactly what Trump did to Maduro. Why not? International law is fake and gay. [00:03:03] The only international law is that big and powerful countries get to do what they want. It has been that way since the dawn of civilization. It will always be that way. All right. Let's give you the response here. Cigar and jet posted the following. [00:03:21] I am reflexively anti-intervention because I still believe the US military is stunningly capable of limited operations, but Washington lacks the strategic competence to successfully achieve an end game in a complex, faraway land without bad 40th order consequences. [00:03:39] How about Tim Pool? His take was a bit mixed. Here's what he wrote. Removing Maduro made infinitely more sense than anything we did in Iraq and Afghanistan, but still don't lie. This is for oil and the Petro dollar. This isn't about drugs or narco gangs. [00:03:58] Just be honest. Steve Bannon also called out the messaging from Trump administration in an interview with The New York Times, here's what Bannon said the lack of framing of the message on a potential occupation has the base bewildered, if not angry. [00:04:14] While President Trump makes the case for hemispheric defense, Rubio confuses talk of removing Hamas and Hezbollah. In his daily morning newsletter, Tucker Carlson offered some mild criticism while simultaneously defending Trump. We love Trump, but what he's describing is a nation building campaign. [00:04:32] There's no way around it. President's instincts on foreign entanglement are strong, but the usurpers around Trump disagree, and they mugged him into advancing their agenda. In each of his administrations, Dave Smith, well, [00:04:49] he attacked his fellow conservatives. Here's what he wrote. I'm so disappointed in the prominent right wingers supporting Trump's attack on Venezuela, including many who should know better. I'm sure in 20 years they will be making excellent documentaries about how we were right and then mocking us as they support the next terrible thing. [00:05:10] Let's end with Jack Posobiec, who stated that only time will tell if this operation is successful or not. Listen. I fully support the policy of black bagging communists and taking them to Guantanamo Bay. And in fact, I have a list if anyone would like to check it out. [00:05:27] But when it comes down to it, it it always comes. And if you go back and look at the Human Events series that we ran last week, regime change, tales of regime change. We talk about Iraq, we talk about Afghanistan, we talk about Ukraine 2014. [00:05:42] We talk about Syria. The question always comes, what comes next? What did I say here on the show on Saturday? I said, is this a full on regime change or are they just taking out one guy? And it appears to be that that's what the president and Marco Rubio said afterwards, [00:06:01] because the president said we are not installing Machado. He was very clear about that cold water all over it. And then Rubio coming out and saying that he was having discussions with the vice president of Venezuela, who had been sort of this henchwoman for Maduro. But of course, she's off there. [00:06:16] Kind of looks like she's going into business for herself as it is. - So again, we will see what comes next. - All right. So, Jake, is there any chance that this operation, I guess we'll call it, can be successful? And is international law fake and gay? [00:06:37] Okay, so, as I explained earlier in the show, it's about a 10% chance that the CIA are geniuses and they've actually got the vice President Rodriguez, already lined up in their back pocket, and she's pretending to object, but she isn't really objecting. And they've also lined up the defense minister and the head of the militias [00:06:55] and the head of any other, part of the military that was loyal to Maduro. 2026 just started. And like a lot of us, I've got some big personal goals here are tight. We believe in changing the world for the better. But to do that, I'm going to need the right team of people to make it happen. [00:07:10] Let's be real. Sometimes it can be hard to find the right people who are that good at what they do. It's like, if you're hiring for your business, how do you find the best people for all the different roles on your team? Well, it turns out it's actually kind of easy because of ZipRecruiter.

That's your 10% chance, in which case they slowly do, you know, regime change and we install Machado or her allies in there, and then there are puppets, and they do whatever we tell them. [00:08:22] That is very low probability. Much higher probability is they have no idea what they're doing. And this makes no sense at all. And that is why you are seeing half of those guys waiver. So let's talk about the waiver. Now. A lot of them said they were anti-war. [00:08:39] So turning around and saying, God, we love war. Let's go do regime change in Venezuela and Iran. And oh, this is great. It's a it's a pretty sharp turn. Right? So they're a little worried about that turn. And they're a little worried that they already just told their audience for years [00:08:55] and years that they were anti-war. And that was the correct position. So they're concerned about that. Now. On the other hand, they see a lot of right wing and I see it the actual voters, citizens, etc., who are super psyched about this. And honestly, it's a little bit of like, you know, rah rah, America, [00:09:15] bald eagle, American flag. We kill, we kidnap, we're the tough guys. We do whatever we want. And so there's a little bit of like getting high on, on on that supply at this point. So that's why they're like they seem to kind of like it. I think they're going to hate it later. So I'm not quite sure what I want to do. [00:09:33] And that was you saw at the end there and before. Just I think last week I said Sobek is kind of the weathervane of the right wing movement. He just wants to go wherever it's popular. He doesn't really care. He doesn't doesn't doesn't seem to have any principles. [00:09:49] So he's basically going on the one hand. On the other hand. So but you know, that could be worse. It could be the Matt Walsh reaction. Right. So I'll go one by one as quickly as I can. Marjorie Taylor Greene I thought was perfect. Not perfect from a left wing perspective. [00:10:04] She said a lot of things in her reaction on TV and on X, where I was like, I don't necessarily agree with that. Right. But in terms of being anti-interventionist and anti-war, she's being true to the principles that she espoused. [00:10:19] Trump is originally espoused and definitely Maga and America first espoused. So she is being consistent and principled, and I agree with her position overall. Matt Walsh is a clown. So let's start with this half a sentence. I'm as reflexively noninterventionist as anyone can possibly be. [00:10:37] Wrong again Bob. Because the anti-interventionist position here is don't intervene and you're going. I am maximum anti-interventionist. And that's why I thought it was a great idea to intervene in Venezuela. Maybe you struggle with the English language. [00:10:52] And so that's why you don't understand the meaning of words. But we are definitely intervening here. And he says, well, you know, look, strong countries take over smaller countries and do whatever they want to them. International law is gay and fake. [00:11:08] Yeah, but what if the strong country is Germany and they want to do whatever they want to Poland and Austria and France and Belgium, and to Jews and the poles and. ET cetera. ET cetera. Well. So what? So what? International law is gay. [00:11:25] The Nazis should be allowed to do what ever they want. Well, I hope you don't think that. I hope that there's a reason why America was the leading country that set up international law. And we didn't do that just out of the goodness of our heart. We did that because we thought that would be beneficial to us, to democracy, [00:11:44] to the world order that we believe in. And by the way, if you're a right winger, you should certainly make up your mind on a couple of things. Are you anti-war or pro-war? Okay, so you tell me, and they are telling you right now you should listen. And the ones that said that this attack on Venezuela was a great idea, [00:12:01] make note of that, by the way. Also make note of people like me who say it's a terrible idea and then come back and see who was right, okay? And see who's wavering and see who's clear in this case. So Matt Walsh is clear. Like break the law. Rule of law means nothing. [00:12:18] Anti-war. He was just kidding. Pro-war, etc. So that's Matt Walsh, and he's super clear about it. And he's when any time he talks about Anti-intervention now understand he's a giant fraud. Never meant it. The minute that a Republican president does the next attack, he'll be like, well, [00:12:34] normally I'm very anti-interventionist, but I love this intervention. Give me more war. Yeah, okay. That's what I thought. Matt Sager honestly, that was a word salad. I mean, I guess he's saying, oh yeah, I see all your right wingers are in favor of it, but later there'll be consequences. [00:12:50] Yeah, that's relatively true, but I would have come out stronger than this. So I'm a little bit disappointed in saga on that one. Tim Pool all right. I mean, at least he's being honest. He's saying, yeah, we're doing it for oil and the petrodollar. And that is true. And it's not about the drugs. [00:13:06] So give score one for Tim Pool on honesty guys. Not on agreeing with left or right on honesty and being principled Steve Bannon saying, hey, I, we like war. And so he's pulling the same thing as Posobiec. [00:13:22] We're pretending to not like war, but when you break things and kill people and kidnap people, we can't help but really kind of instinctually love that. But at the same time, why are we doing this for, you know, for Israel and Rubio and Huckabee and Netanyahu are all talking about we did this for Israel. [00:13:39] We vanquished Hezbollah and Iran in Venezuela. So, okay, so he's right for a note of caution there. Obviously, Tucker is being careful because he's seeing the same thing I'm seeing, which is that this this, in my opinion, I'm not putting words in his mouth. [00:13:55] The right wing these days, Trump voters, they're a little drunk on how well the mission went. And let me pause there, guys, before I get to the rest. The mission that we just did was tactic, tactics and tactical, right. So we're great at tactics. Nobody's better than us. [00:14:12] So can we go capture Saddam? We did. Did we hang him? We hung him. Did we capture Maduro? We captured him. Did we capture bin laden? It took a freaking forever. Partly because I want to capture him. But anyway, we finally did capture him. So we're good at tactics. We're the best in the business. Don't let that distract you from strategy. [00:14:30] Strategy is. Yes, but how do we get to the end game? What do we do next? How do we get the Venezuelan leaders to agree with Maduro to comply with us? And if they don't comply with us, what's next? Trump, being a grade-A moron hasn't thought any of that through. [00:14:47] And he said, how can you tell? Because he goes in a press conference and he goes, now we're gonna we're running Venezuela. You seem Rubio in the back going. Like, are we? And then he goes on TV, he's like, no, no, no, we're not running it. But we are running it. But it is a war. [00:15:02] But it's not a war. Okay. Yeah. They have no earthly idea what they're doing. Dave Smith 100 out of 100. He meant he said anti-war. He meant anti-war. He's of course. Right. And so, the reason I want everybody keeps score, Sharon, is because just like in Iraq, [00:15:19] later everyone will claim that they were against this war in Venezuela and everyone will say, well, I mean, I turned. I mean, I was against. Of course I was anti-war, I was anti-war. No, no, no. When we start a war is when you tell us you're pro or antiwar. [00:15:37] Don't tell me after you supported a war, that you changed your mind later, but you'd like to have credit for being anti-war? No, no, this is decision time. This is not going to end with one simple bombing and kidnaping. Not that it was simple. It was brilliantly done by our forces. [00:15:53] But it doesn't accomplish anything as long as the vice president totally agrees with Maduro. And she's saying she does. So then you've got to go in again and again and again until you have ground troops and a quagmire. And then all these guys, after those series of disasters, will turn [00:16:09] around and Matt Walsh will tell you, I was always anti-intervention, I'm the most anti-interventionist guy. That's why I love the Iraq War. That's why I love the Venezuela War. That's why I love every war until it goes south. And then I lie to you and pretend that I was always against it. [00:16:25] Yeah. It's interesting. I know that this is a story about mixed MAGA and their their strife and struggles. Internal war, if you will. But I also wonder. I mean, they're so good at being loud and proud, even when they disagree. If the other side, you know, the Democrats, progressives, [00:16:44] have they been loud enough in staking their claim on what what matters here? Yeah. So, you know, on that I a couple mixed feelings. So first on the left overall, we should proudly declare, what we think [00:17:00] and we're the left has been antiwar the entire time, for the last 25 years. In fact, back to Vietnam, etc.. So we're antiwar, and we should stake our claim to that. And we should let people know left wing populists are honest. [00:17:16] And when we say we're are anti-war, we don't get seduced by, oh, did we kill and kidnap someone? Oh, that's so much fun. No. We think things through and realize this has gone poorly every single time since Vietnam. So maybe we shouldn't do it again like a bunch of idiots, right? [00:17:33] Sorry, but it's. It's the reality. There is no end game here at all. It's going to end in disaster and want you to know that. I think that on day one, because it's a pure matter of logic. [00:17:49] Unless we have them already completely surrendered, this is never going to work. Okay. So in terms of like the the rest of them. Yeah. Same thing. [00:18:04] You know, Sharon, they'll come back and say later, oh, I had a change of heart or whatever the hell, but no, this is this is this is not going to end well. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets its wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
