We're going to talk about Nicholas Maduro in court.

He's here in New York City with me, which is so bizarre.

And the Democratic response to what's been going on.

The scandal that took down Tim Walz and the backlash over a new billionaire tax proposal in California where you are not a billionaire yet, but you probably have some views about it.

Taxing the rich.

Let's dive right in.

Like I said, Maduro no longer ruling Venezuela.

He's in a holding cell in Brooklyn.

He was in a U.S.

courtroom on Monday where he pleaded not guilty to narco-terrorism charges and claimed that he was, quote, kidnapped, which actually I don't think is completely off base.

The Trump administration says this wasn't a war regime change, but a law enforcement operation.

They're just helping out Pam Bondi.

Democrats, of course, agree that Maduro is a brutal dictator.

You would look like an idiot if you didn't.

But they're furious about how this went down.

No advance briefing, no authorization from Congress.

And now talk from Trump about the U.S., quote, running Venezuela.

Political risk for Democrats is very clear.

Look like you're defending the Constitution without looking like you're defending Maduro or rooting against a clear villain being held accountable.

So we've got questions about what's next in Venezuela.
