About this episode
For months, the U.S. military had been amassing a presence off Venezuela's coast and conspicuously blowing up alleged drug trafficking boats. Last weekend, the United States engaged in a brazen nighttime operation after President Donald Trump gave an order authorizing the capture of authoritarian dictator Nicolás Maduro. The U.S. plunged Venezuela's capital into darkness, infiltrated Maduro's home, and whisked him to the United States, where the Trump administration is set to put him on trial. Col. William "Burner" Dunn, retired Marine Corps combat veteran, attack helicopter pilot, President of Strategic Resilience Group, LLC., and author of Gunfighters Rule!, joins me to discuss the military logistics, the constitutionality of the Maduro capture, and more.Protests have broken out in Iran, sparked by severe economic hardship, particularly the falling currency. These protests have escalated into widespread anti-regime demonstrations across many provinces, involving strikes, clashes with security forces using tear gas and live ammunition, significant arrests (well over 2,000 reported so far), and growing calls for systemic change, with the government responding with harsh crackdowns and threats, while making accusations of foreign interference from the United States and Israel. Randy Noble, prolific author and the host of The Cross in the Desert podcast, joins me to discuss the latest news from inside Iran.Venezuelan dictator, Nicolas Maduro, has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States after his capture by U.S. forces.

Chris Salcedo, a veteran television and radio broadcaster, political analyst, podcaster, Executive Director of the Conservative Hispanic Society, and the author of the new book The Rise of the Liberty-Loving Latino: A New American Revolution, joins me to discuss how TDS has led the "No Kings" crowd to scream on the streets, "Free Maduro!"Katie Asher is a writer, researcher, and mother whose memoir, The Book of Heaven: A Story of Hope for the Outcasts, the Broken, and Those Who Lost Faith, co-authored with her severely neurologically injured autistic son, Houston, has ignited international conversations about consciousness, spiritual perception, and the reality of the soul.
