Didn't some shit go down today? Didn't we steal the president of Venezuela's plane? Yeah, I think we just stole his plane.

No, not us. Okay, good. The United States. Someone stole his plane. All right. Which is kind of an act of war. What is that? Was he in it? I don't think so. No. I think we just stole his plane. Just like for a joyride? What's the story? U.S. seizes Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro's airplane in the Dominican Republic. So we said, nope, we're stealing that. How does that work?

Even if you don't get along with a president of a country, how disrespectful is it to steal their plane? You're right. It's an act of war. Imagine if Xi Jinping landed somewhere and we're like, we're going to steal your fucking plane. Yeah. No chance. That's a bully move. That's a move you can only do to a country like Venezuela.

So this says, Merrick Garland said that the Justice Department seized an aircraft we allege was illegally purchased for $13 million through a shell company and smuggled out of the United States for use by Nicolas Maduro and his cronies. What business is that of ours, though? This is what I don't understand. Like, if it was purchased through a shell company... Then it was purchased. Right.

It says smuggled out of the United States. The plane was purchased from a company in Florida, the Justice Department said, and was illegally exported in April 2023 from the United States to Venezuela through the Caribbean. So are we not allowed to sell them planes? Is that what it is? Like, because we have a problem with them? Would they say how much it costs? $13 million? Yeah.

Okay, so he's got this $13 million plane, a Dassault Falcon 900EX, since been used to fly almost exclusively to and from military base in Venezuela. Justice Department said CNN reached out to Venezuelan government. You asked, huh? It seems like, though, there's more to it than that plane was illegal. You shouldn't have that plane.

For years, officials have sought to disrupt the flow of billions of dollars to the regime. Homeland Security Investigations, the second largest investigative agency in the federal government, has seized dozens of luxury vehicles, among other assets, headed to Venezuela. So there's a U.S. sanction. So there's a sanction. This is it. The plane was seized in violation of U.S.

sanctions with Venezuela. And other criminal matters that we're looking at regarding this aircraft, they're going to find a reason to keep it. Like they stole all those boats from all those Russian cats. Yeah. Sorry, you're too rich and you know Putin, so give me your vote.

Don't you think now, though, most people, I feel like genuinely most people are aware there's more to the story? Every story. Everything in the news. Every time something comes up, people are like, what's the whole story here?

And both those ways are good for the people that are running scams.

Yeah, because if you don't know what's true and what's not true, you're like, oh, geez. And then you get cynical. Oh, it's all bullshit. This whole system is rigged. Then you just go fishing.

Right. It's actually beneficial to them because then you have a smaller number of people that are voting. So essentially in the 2020 elections, it was the largest ever win, right? The Democrats got 80-something million votes, which is – so let's say – even if it was 50-50.

So somewhere in the neighborhood of 160 million people, how many people are women and – I mean how many people with children, women can vote? What am I saying? Yeah. How many people are children, rather? Oh, jeez, I have no idea on the percentage. Under 18. It's probably in the 30%. So that's a pretty high turnout. Yes, if that was even the turnout. If it was real. Yeah, that's the problem.

We have no idea. Therein, that's the problem with the whole cynical game. Because I'm not convinced. You know why I'm not convinced? Because everybody wants me to be convinced. When they yell at you, if you ask a question, like, hey, one of the things that I've always said, and everyone sort of agrees with this.
