  • Maduro and Flores attended federal court in New York, both pleading not guilty to narco-terrorism, conspiracy, and weapons charges.
  • Sam Brock describes Maduro’s demeanor and Flores' visible injuries.
    • Flores reportedly had bandages and bruises, possibly suffered during detention.
  • Quote:
    • Maduro: “I am the President of the Republic of Venezuela, taken against my will… I am a prisoner of war and I avail myself of the rights under the Geneva Convention.”
      – Maduro via Sam Brock ([02:20])

    • Kelly O’Donnell notes little was said about democracy or humanitarian motives.
  • Quote:
    • “It was truly notable how much the president cited oil, the future of the oil industry, oil as leverage—very little about democracy.”
      – Kelly O’Donnell ([05:13])

3. Legality and Precedent

• Open Legal Questions:
  • The legal status of forcibly bringing a sitting head of state to U.S. court is uncharted; to be determined by the court system.
  • The administration frames it as a law enforcement operation, not an act of war, despite violence reported on the ground.
    • Quote:
      • “Was it legal? Certainly, the Maduros will have their legal counsel challenge that. Was it an armed conflict? The administration says no…it is a topic that will get a lot of traction.”
        – Kelly O’Donnell ([06:32])

International and Domestic Reactions

6. Public & Regional Response

• Venezuelan Diaspora Celebrates; Mixed Domestic Reaction:

  • Celebrations erupt in Florida’s Venezuelan community:
    • "I'm very proud for this country. I'm very proud for this president… Have amazing news for Venezuela." – Florida Venezuelan ([13:44])
  • Inside Venezuela:
    • Most people are staying home, frightened—no mass protests/violence.
    • Richard Engel poignantly notes what’s missing:
      • “What we're not seeing… speaks volumes.” ([14:15])

• Uncertainty on U.S. Role in Venezuela:

  • Conflicting U.S. government messages on direct political control.
  • Engel’s analysis:
    • “Do the people want Trump to run their country through the remnants of the Maduro regime? Of course not… they're hopeful this will lead to free elections and they can have liberty.” ([15:21])

7. Potential Power Struggle

• Interim President vs Opposition Leader:
  • Delcy Rodríguez (former VP) is acting president and appears cooperative with U.S. demands—for now.
  • Opposition’s Maria Corina Machado (recent Nobel Peace Prize laureate), who won a recent presidential election, claims her team is ready to lead, but lacks regime support.
    • Engel: “She's the only real public figure… who has that kind of credibility. But she doesn't have standing with the regime… if this transition period plays out and there are elections, one would assume she would be a leading candidate.” ([18:16])

[Yasmin Vesugian]

Hey everybody. Welcome to here's the Scoop from NBC News. I'm Yasmin Vesugian. Today on the show, it has been two days since US Forces captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife. We are learning more on the policy decisions leading up to their arrests. And we're going to hear from Richard Engel on the ground in the region. Plus, Congress is back in session and they're up against another government shutdown at the end of this month. Up first, though, Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores have pled not guilty to charges including narco terrorism, conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy and weapons offenses. NBC News correspondent Sam Brock was inside the federal courtroom in New York.

[Sam Brock]

It was quite the hearing today for Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores. The second that Maduro was inside the courtroom, he was nodding at everyone, those in the jury box, the public in the gallery, the journalists. And then he proceeded to shake the hands of all of his defense attorneys, not clear if they had met prior to that point. As he's coming in, we also see Celia Flores, his wife, and it was later explained that she had bandages on the side of her face that did strike you. Also some bruising around the eye. According to her attorneys, she was injured, possibly suffered fractures during the detention. So more to come on that. But perhaps one of the most bizarre and anomalous sort of situations we saw from this head of state inside of a US Courtroom was his exchange with the judge after the charges of narco terrorism and cocaine drug trafficking were read. He was asked whether or not he is Nicolas Maduro. And Maduro didn't just say that. He said, I am the President of the Republic of Venezuela, taken against my will. He used the word sequestrado in a military operation by the government of the United States. I am a prisoner of war and I avail myself of the rights under the Geneva Convention. The judge said, we just needed you to confirm your identity. Maduro ultimately then pleaded not guilty, as did his wife. According to Maduro's attorney, there are voluminous motions awaiting this case as they plan on filing a challenge both in terms of his immunity as a head of state, but also the idea that international law may have been violated, that his capture was illegal. So more to come on that.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

Thank you, Sam. And Maduro's arrest and these charges follow that surprise US Military operation in Caracas on Saturday, Operation aps. The US had been ramping up military pressure in the region over the last few months, carrying out strikes against drug boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific, citing narco terrorism as the driving force. When asked over the weekend who is in charge of Venezuela, President Trump said, quote, we're in charge as the US Looks to build up the country's oil infrastructure. So what are the president's objectives here and are they legal? I want to bring in now NBC News chief Justice and national affairs correspondent Kelly o'. Donnell. Hi, Kelly.

[Kelly O'Donnell]

Good to be with you.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

Great to have you. Quite a start to the new year, to say the least. I want to talk about the bigger foreign policy questions here and whether the Trump administration is going to be successful in their case against Nicolas Maduro. But first, I want to back up for a moment what led the president to carry out this operation when he did and arrest Maduro and his wife by force.

[Kelly O'Donnell]

There are different ways to approach that, and we don't have real clarity about what tipping point there was for President Trump to authorize this operation. We have seen for a period of weeks and months a buildup of resources in the area of the Caribbean and specifically off the coast of Venezuela. And we've heard the president say a number of times they knew we were coming, so the signals were there. But we'll have to learn more about what drove the president when we talk.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

About the ultimate objective here of the president. Right. He cited narco terrorism many times in the attacks on the boats, both in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean. But he hasn't mentioned drugs so much when it comes to the capture of Maduro, instead talking a lot about oil in Venezuela. So what are the ultimate objectives here of the administration?

[Kelly O'Donnell]

It was truly notable how much the president cited oil, the future of the oil industry, oil as leverage, very little about democracy. And what he talks about is that he wants to have the oil companies go in. Of course, you have to remember the history that Venezuela seized American oil assets. So the President is saying part of, I would describe it as his retribution approach to governing where he believes the US Was harmed by the Maduro regime in Venezuela taking assets that belong to the United States. He wants to get them back. He also says, I think in a geopolitical sense that given the stockpile, the resources, the immense oil wealth of Venezuela, that that's an important hedge in the world. When you consider that China and Russia are very concerned about their access to Venezuela and if the US Controls that oil, that gives the US an advantage geopolitically. So that's part of it too.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

We're going to talk about what control of Venezuela actually looks like. But I want to talk about the legality of this operation. Is there precedents for what has taken place with the capture of both Maduro and his wife and was it legal?

[Kelly O'Donnell]

That is still to be litigated. Certainly. The administration says this was a law enforcement operation and it was aided by the military because there was, in their view, no other way to extract these fugitives of justice. They had been indicted, although there were others indicted who were not taken in this operation. They focused on Maduro and his wife. And his wife is not just a spouse in this case. She was a formidable person in Venezuela, held many positions of authority and is accused of the bribery and the criminal scheme here as well. And so is it legal? Certainly the Maduro's will have their legal counsel challenge that. Was it an armed conflict? The administration says no, it was not. And yet we know there was violence associated with this. The President has acknowledged that there were people on the ground who were killed. So there was violence and what would look like armed conflict. But the Department of Justice and agencies like the DEA say they were the lead on this. And so the question is, can there be an answer? The answer would come from the courts. That has not really developed yet. It is a topic that will get a lot of traction, certainly from the Department of Justice point of view and the administration. They feel this was a successful operation in terms of getting Maduro into the United States. And now he will be a part of a much more traditional process of going through a court of law with capable counsel with rights extended to him and so forth.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

His vice president, Delsey Rodriguez, has been sworn in as the interim president. On Saturday, the president said that the U.S. would be, quote, unquote, running the country, as you mentioned. And Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio about that on Sunday.

[Kelly O'Donnell]

Who are those people who will be.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

Running the country specifically?

[Andrew Goldman]

Well, it's not running the policy. The policy with regards to this.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

The president, though, has said we will be running the country. Where are we on this?

[Kelly O'Donnell]

Also, I think a very active, open question. The president often communicates in almost bumper sticker language, short bursts of statement. We're in charge is one of the things he said. Well, that means many different things to many different people. Clearly, the US has exerted military control in the sense of decapitating the government there. So does that make the US in charge? In certain ways it casts a very long shadow. There is also the experience in a very different time in a very different place of Iraq. Part of what led to prolonged unrest and a lot of instability was that the regime under Saddam Hussein was fully removed. What's different here is, is that everything else has stayed the same. So the people who were in charge of security, local governments, police departments, and so forth are all still in charge. And that creates perhaps more predictability for the citizenry. It does not wipe out part of the problem that the US had identified, which is what they described as an illegal regime. So that puts Delsey Rodriguez in a very interesting place.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

Kelly, we cannot have this conversation without talking about both the foreign policy and national implications of this. And what I mean by that is what the president ran on, which was America first promising to pull Americans out of war overseas. This is a major US Intervention. World leaders have reacted everywhere. The president also name dropping a couple of other places that could be on the list next, that is Cuba, Canada, Greenland, Iran, even. What implications does this have on both US Foreign policy and potential fallout from it?

[Kelly O'Donnell]

The president's approach to foreign policy in his first term and his second term has always been different than the typical. He is making a choice to focus on a lot of international events. What he's not doing is spending a lot of time talking about health care costs and a lot of the domestic agenda and things that clearly matter to many Americans. And you indicated, you know, he's hinting it about other countries. And the administration wants that to be a bell heard around the world, whether it's Colombia, whether it's Greenland, which is of course controlled by a U.S. ally, Denmark. The president often signals very publicly what he intends to do long before sort of the national conversation catches up to the fact that, yes, he's serious about this. So we talked about regime change, could it result in regime change months ago. And there were many people who thought, oh, it could happen. It might not happen. Well, here we are.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

Here we are. Kelly o', Donnell, thank you.

[Sam Brock]

All right.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

We are going to take a very short break and when we are back, we are going to talk about how Venezuelans are reacting.

[Andrew Goldman]

My name is Andrew Goldman. No story I've encountered in my 30 years as a journalist has gripped me by the throat quite like the murder of Martha Moxley and conviction of Michael Skakel. I think I thought I understood the case. It was a decades long story about the powerful and the privileged seemingly getting away with murder. But I discovered a much darker, more shocking tale than I ever could have guessed.

[Sam Brock]

They put a sign around my neck.

[Richard Engel]

That said, hi, my name is Michael Skakel and I'm a murderer.

[Andrew Goldman]

He's been talked about a lot, but he's never spoken up until now.

[Richard Engel]

It was like the worst nightmare ever.

[Andrew Goldman]

And we are back with here's the scoop from NBC News. We have seen Venezuelans reacting around the world to the news of Maduro's capture with celebrations in Florida.

[Sam Brock]

I'm very proud for this country. I'm very proud for this president to help us to be happy, happy New Year and have amazing news for Venezuela.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

And then inside Venezuela, some more mixed responses. Shock after unprecedented US Attacks on Venezuelan soil and hope after the ouster of a deeply unpopular leader. I want to bring in chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel, who is in Colombia right now, to talk about the regional reaction. Hi, Richard.

[Richard Engel]

It's good to be with you. I'm in Bogota. What's happening inside Venezuela is extraordinary. The government is still trying to show that it is unified, that it is still in control. But the people's reaction I think is the most interesting. And what we're not seeing, we're not seeing people on the streets. We're not seeing people firing guns. We're not seeing those militias vowing to fight to the death to keep the. This, let's call it the Chavista system that has been in place there for the last 25 years. Mostly people are staying at home. They're scared. They don't know what's happening next. And I think that itself speaks volumes.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

We're getting mixed messaging from the US Government, Richard, about how involved it plans to be in the Venezuelan government. The Secretary of State Rubio on Meet the Press actually said, we're going to be running policy, whereas the president said, we're going to be in charge. And now they're talking about being in charge of the Western Hemisphere. So where are they on this? And also, what does that mean for Venezuelans? Because is that what Venezuelans want is the United States running their country?

[Richard Engel]

First of all, can I break something about world politics? The people of their countries never get what they want. The people of Venezuela didn't like this particular regime. Chavez was popular. He had a real groundswell movement. Maduro, his successor, was not. And he was getting less and less popular over time. You can't like a government that runs a corrupt state that is so exorbitantly corrupt and ferociously corrupt that you can't even feed yourself or your family. The reality is the government is still in charge. The Maduro government. President Trump is threatening that government and telling that government to behave. So the vice president has now assumed the office of the presidency, and President Trump just threatened her. You're going to do what we want, or else worse things will happen to you than happen to Maduro. She's saying, well, we don't know. We're not sure what's going to happen. They're speaking out in defiance. During the US Raid, there wasn't a lot of resistance. So I think they're talking a lot. But I think what we're not seeing is just as interesting as what is happening in Venezuela. Do the people want Trump to run their country through the remnants of the Maduro regime? Of course not. Of course not. And they're hopeful that maybe this will lead to free elections and they can have liberty and they can have choices and they can be in charge of their political lives, and that's potentially in the pipeline. But that would assume that this administration's plan works, because, remember, the administration's plan is they want to be in charge running things from Washington. They want to have a orderly transfer and that at a time of the U.S. s choosing, there will be some elections or a legitimate transfer, which President Trump said he hopes sooner than later. But right now, for an open ended period of time, the US Is trying to run the country and trying to turn the remnants of the Maduro regime into their puppets.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

We're 48 hours in. And so things could change on a dime. As we all well know, having watched these things unfold in history. The current interim Venezuelan president is the former vice president under Nicolas Maduro, Delsey Rodriguez.

[Richard Engel]

Correct.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

And the president has said that she has been cooperating so far. But the opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, whose standing candidate actually won the country's presidential election last year with more than two thirds of the vote, she says her team is ready to assume power. The president, however, saying he doesn't believe that she actually has the support of the country. Is this setting the country up for a potential power struggle again?

[Richard Engel]

So let's go through exactly what you just said. So Machado is clearly the most legitimate person that the opposition has. She's a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She just received that incredible honor. She has international credibility. She has credibility within Venezuela. She's the only real public figure in that country who has that kind of credibility. But she doesn't have standing with the regime. If she landed right now, 48 hours in, there could be conflict. But if later on, if this transition period plays out and there are elections, one would assume that she would be one of the candidates and probably the leading candidate for those kind of elections. I think there would be a lot of pressure on the US and others to, to allow her to participate.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

Richard Engle, thank you.

[Richard Engel]

Good to be with you.

[Yasmin Vesugian]

All right, let's get to some headlines. International leaders are not the only ones asking questions about the capture of Venezuelan leader Maduro and his wife without seeking congressional approval. Lawmakers heading back to Washington this week want briefings as soon as possible. Congress already has a full agenda. They're facing a January 30th funding deadline fresh off the longest government shutdown in US history. And there is still a fight ahead. Obamacare subsidies expiring at the end of the year, spiking premiums for 22 million Americans. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the Pentagon has started, quote, retirement grade determination proceedings, meaning it is taking steps to downgrade Senator Mark Kelly's military retirement pay and rank. In a video released in November, Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers had urged troops to refuse illegal orders. Hegseth has called Kelly's statements, quote, seditious and has now formally censured him. Kelly, a retired Navy captain, has 30 days to respond. Kelly posted to X Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don't get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government, adding, I will fight this with everything I've got. Minnesota governor Tim Walz is ending his re election bid to focus on addressing fraud allegations in the state, including claims from a recent viral video alleging 10 Somali run daycares received federal funding without providing services. A source close to Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar tells NBC News that she is seriously considering a run but has not yet made a final decision. MyPillow's Mike Lindell has already launched his campaign for the GOP ticket. Minnesota has not elected a Republican governor in almost two decades. If you were watching football this past weekend, you know that it was all about finalizing that playoff field and setting a few records along the way. The Jaguars crushed Tennessee to win the AFC south with their kicker casually drilling a 67 yarder for good measure. And then in Sunday night's thriller, 42 year old Aaron Rodgers led Pittsburgh to victory thanks to a missed Baltimore field goal that sealed the AFC north title in favor of the Steelers. But beyond the wins and the losses, the Cleveland Browns pass rusher set the single season sack record with his 23rd, though it took three quarters to get there. The jets somehow went an entire season without a single interception while opposing quarterbacks through 515 pass attempts. 0 picks and Minnesota's rookie QB re injured his throwing hand and left early while the Giants first year starter beat Dallas to end a 14 game losing streak. Absolute madness and lots of end zone dancing. Speaking of dancing, turns out Lady Gaga is onto something. A long term 21 year study found that frequent dancing slashes the risk of dementia by 76%. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, dancing fires up your motor, sensory and social circuits all at once. It forces your brain to improvise, remember, step and coordinate with others in real time. So whether you are imagining doing the foxtrot at weddings or just whirling around your kitchen as you cook, your future self will thank you. That is gonna do it for us at here's the scoop from NBC News. I'm Yasmin Bisugin. We'll be back tomorrow with whatever the day may bring.
