What is happening with Venezuela's military buildup in response to U.S. warships?

Ben Meiselas 0:05
That right there is the F-16 fleet of the Venezuelan Air Force. Venezuela preparing for war with the United States. Fox reports that Venezuela has mobilized its troops and its weapons in response to U.S. warship buildup in the Caribbean. Venezuela is in war mode right now. Talk about that in a moment and specifically what the Colombian President Petro has to say. I want to shift gears, though, and just talk briefly about what's happening right now in the West Bank and in Gaza, where that ceasefire thing, I don't even want to call it a deal that Donald Trump touted as a historic peace deal. It's quickly unraveling. Um, We've been seeing Israeli settlers storming into West Bank towns. We've been seeing Hamas consolidating its control again in Gaza.
Ben Meiselas 1:01
We've seen the IDF kill over 100 Palestinians already. We've seen Netanyahu and Smutrich refuse to acknowledge a two-state solution they never did to begin with. There's really no end in sight. There's really no ceasefire that ever existed in the first place. And there was certainly no historic peace deal where the deal part is usually discussed. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the following about settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. We're concerned that the violent events in the West Bank will spill over and undermine what we are doing in the Gaza Strip. We're trying to prevent that from happening. But both President Herzog and the Israeli chief of staff have strongly condemned these attacks.
Ben Meiselas 1:44
The IDF also sent forces there to deal with it because their soldiers were attacked. So that's what's happening in the Middle East. I always want to connect that to also what's happening here on the domestic side where Donald Trump continues to unravel following the release of the 20,000 Epstein emails. that the Democrats in the House Oversight Committee made public, and oh, were these damaging to Donald Trump. I mean, there were messages like this. Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers, as Leah McElroy says, both are very bad people, and here's how they describe Donald Trump. I've met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump, not one decent cell in his body. Yes, dangerous. That's what Epstein says to Larry Summers.
Ben Meiselas 2:33
And there's also all these messages where Epstein talks about how Donald Trump's the dog that didn't bark and he was with the victim and lots of other damning emails. But perhaps none more damning than this one right here. Jeffrey Epstein's email to the former prime minister of Norway, Thrallbrunn Jagland. And Epstein says to the former prime minister of Norway,

How is the ceasefire in the West Bank and Gaza quickly unraveling and who is involved?

Ben Meiselas 2:59
I think you might suggest to Putin that Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia, can get insight on talking to me. Vitaly Cherkin used to, but he died. And then Yagland writes, I'll meet Lavrov's assistant on Monday and will suggest it. Thank you for a lovely evening. I'll come to the UN high level this week. And then Epstein responds, Cherkin was great. He understood after our conversation, it's not complex. He must be seen to get something. It's that simple. In other words, Epstein seems to have been giving compromise to Russia's top officials regarding Trump and basically had a consulting business. And by the way, that message I just sent, I just showed you about speaking with Lavrov. That was just a few weeks before Donald Trump met with Putin in Helsinki.
Ben Meiselas 3:52
And just to remind you what went down in Helsinki, A few weeks after that email, here's a reminder. Let's play the clip of Trump in Helsinki.
Would you now, with the whole world watching, tell President Putin, would you denounce what happened in 2016, and would you warn him to never do it again?
Donald Trump 4:07
My people came to me. Dan Coats came to me and some others. They said they think it's Russia. I have President Putin. He just said it's not Russia. I will say this. I don't see any reason why it would be. So I have great confidence in my intelligence people. But I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful.
Ben Meiselas 4:31
Okay, now going back to Donald Trump's post, it's stuff like this.
