I mean, just looking at what happened here in Venezuela and Nicolas Maduro, you know, Venezuela's most recent presidential election was considered to be marred by fraud, that this is somebody who was clinging on to power against democratic values.

America came in.

Is that neoconservative?

All right.

We're going to take a quick break and more on all of this in just a second.

And we're back.

And we've been talking about a shift in the foreign policy of the Republican Party with Donald Trump as president.

And I'm curious about Republicans in Congress.

What has the response been from them on the actions in Venezuela?

I mean, how much is Trump doing to try to win over Congress on any of these actions?

or the general public for that matter.

It's interesting.

We talked earlier in the segment about how he just seems to be doing whatever he wants right now.

Does he care whether people in Congress or the general public support these actions?

Well, and obviously there will be an important inflection point in 11 or so months where people are going to go vote in the midterms.

How much do you think what's happening right now will be reflected in the results?

Sure.

Sure.

Sure.

Oh, and I guess I wonder also, is there a limit to this style of foreign policy?
