What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Come on in. We'll check our comments. Make sure they're working on logos. Boom. There we go. Come on in. It is good to see all of you. I apologize again for my sketchy voice. I will do the best I can All right. Once we get about a thousand people in here. Oh, looks like we have what? Only three people on YouTube. All right. Come on in. Lots of news today. But shall we start with a simultaneous sip? That's a yes. All right, people. If you want to join the simultaneous sip, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine hit it today. The thing that makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Oh, that was really good. But let's talk about the news. So I assume all of you know by now that there was some action in Venezuela. So I'll give you a little background on it as people storm in. And then we'll talk about what does it all mean? But I should tell you that after the show, so after the podcast, Owen Gregorian will be hosting a Spaces After Party. Now, the plan was to, which is very nice of Owen, to ask people how I had influenced people. But I think the Venezuela story is going to overwhelm that, and that would be okay with me. So don't feel bad if you think talking about Venezuela is more interesting. So I woke up this morning thinking, you know, maybe it'd be good for me not to be in the headlines for once, because I've been in the headlines for a few days.
And look on X, and Dilbert is trending. Venezuela gets attacked, and Dilbert is still trending on X. So... Guess I'll have to go with it. All right. So, you know, I often tell you that if Trump has multiple options for doing something, he typically picks the option that looks the strongest. And he did it again. So I'm starting to think that you could predict his actions fairly accurately by just saying what's the strongest thing you could do. Now, you might say that the strongest thing would be to send in the whole military. But I would say stronger than that would be to send in special forces of some type and grab the leader of the country and take him back for legal process. To me, that seems like the strongest thing.
I think. So that's what happened. So late at night, Trump authorized the military, specifically some helicopters. So I guess we sent our 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, called SOAR, known as the Night Stalkers. So I guess we went in strong. There'd been a lot of practice, a lot of preparation. And allegedly, No casualties on the American side. None. Now, I have not heard if there were casualties on the Venezuelan side, but I imagine there were. So Trump watched the whole operation from some undisclosed place and watched them. I guess we have the ability to go through metal doors um and get people so maduro and his wife have now been arrested and brought back to america now the all the people who don't know anything about the constitution um are going to be arguing with other people who don't know much about the constitution
And I'm sort of in that category. I'm no constitutional expert when it comes to what we can and cannot do militarily. But the argument is that this is not a military action. This is a legal action. And that we can go anywhere to pick up a criminal or an accused criminal, alleged criminal, and that this should be seen as a Department of Justice action that happened to be supported by a number of entities, including the military. So Pam Bondi is telling us what the charges are. So the charges against Maduro, the ex-head of Venezuela, he's being charged with narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States.
But that last one's weird. But apparently, that gives enough cover that Trump can do what he did. But if he had remained there and fought militarily and tried to defeat their army or something, that would be an entirely different conversation.
