Foreign. There are so many exhausting, alarming, and abusive things happening in the United States of America right now. We have the poor woman that was executed by ice. We have the Jeffrey Epstein files that seem to be buried in the news cycle because Trump unilaterally invaded Venezuela and kidnapped and abducted their leader. He did this under the guise that we are going to take their oil. We're going to make so much money. And I saw these reports like, Wall Street's going in, and the United States of America is going to be so rich from this oil, because that's something that to a part of the electorate in the United States, they will justify any human rights violation if it's for money. A cancer in the United States, particularly in the Republican Party, and especially in the MAGA of the Republican Party, is that they value money and profits over human lives. Well, this headline is rather interesting. The oil executives are rebuking President Trump's claims. Newswire is reporting that US Oil executive on Venezuela said, no one wants to go in there when a random tweet can change the entire foreign policy of the country. When I saw this, you guys, I thought, okay, this is really interesting. I found this to be incredibly revealing because a lot of people in Europe during the presidential campaign had said, we can't do deals with the United States of America because if Trump gets in or if Wisconsin votes a certain way and Trump gets in, he can change the entire foreign policy with one tweet. So this is what's so interesting about what's happening. We have the ruling oligarchs who see Trump for exactly what he is, a an unstable, erratic, impulsive, mad king with dementia and a social media addiction. And so they're not going to go into Venezuela. And it's interesting because I also read an article that said there are some, like, lower opportunistic, not so established oil companies that are chomping at the bit to go into Venezuela, but the ones that the Trump administration wants, very established oil and gas companies, they're the ones who are saying this. They want nothing to do with this. So this narrative as to why he went to Venezuela, and it's the first time that neocons have ever actually said, yeah, we're going to get the oil. So they said it honestly. But even the people for whom they're going to get the oil are saying, we don't want any part of this. And there's also been some reporting from Kanks himself that he is going to manage the money himself, that the money from the oil would be managed by me. He said in the truth. Social post. And then the there's been very established reporting that this money is going to go to offshore accounts. So who's the oil for? If it's not for the American oil companies, it's for him. And so before they went into Venezuela, they specifically and intentionally left out Tulsi Gabbard, who has been a huge critic of invading Venezuela for a very, very, very long time. And she is the head of DNI and the Director of National Intelligence. And people within the Trump administration started nicknaming her do not invite. And so the Wall Street Journal has reported the following breaking top US Intelligence offer officer Tulsi Gabbard was excluded from Venezuela plans Just before the mission. She was on a beach in Hawaii, unaware of the details. And this is where I want to remind you guys of something I reported on a few days ago. But I think it's important to bring up again if the big established American oil companies, if big oil that gave him $1 billion to get him elected because they wanted him to deregulate and all of these things, if they don't want Venezuela's oil, and we know that he's saying the profits are going to be managed by him and the money's going to an offshore account. I want to remind you of the 2019sworn testimony of Fiona Hill. And I believe that this was during Kank's impeachment hearings. And her sworn testimony is. And the Russians at this particular juncture were signaling very strongly that they wanted to somehow make very a very strange swap arrangement between Venezuela and Ukraine. If we were going to exert some semblance of the Monroe Doctrine, you know, Russia keeping out of our backyard, they were basically signaling we have our own version of this. You're in our backyard. So Dave Troy over at his website, Kylie, popped this up. Dave Troy has investigated this and I encourage you to go to his news site, America 2 News, and go to his Twitter feed. Our investigation finds that Trump's actions in Venezuela and Greenland are a product of a long running Russian influence campaign that began during his first term. Read and share the complete report and encourage all of you to go read the report. Because right now the administration's narrative, particularly Kank's narrative as to why he went into Venezuela, is already falling apart. And if we all remember the way Vladimir Putin dog walked Trump in Alaska on American soil when Trump had US Military on their hands and knees rolling out the red carpet while our mad king that couldn't walk in a straight line is standing there clapping like a seal, waiting for Putin to arrive. All of this Testimony from Trump 1.0 and all of this reemergence of Greenland and Venezuela is very interesting to me, considering Fiona Hill is the premier expert in the world on Vladimir Putin. She knows her stuff. And that is a sworn testimony. And here is some information regarding Greenland. The White House is reportedly discussing paying everyone who lives in Greenland anywhere from 10,000 to $100,000 per person if they secede from Denmark. This is apparently what putting Americans first looks looks like. And Warren Gunnels responds. 42% of cancer patients in America deplete their entire savings within the first two years of their diagnosis. We can't help them, but apparently we can't. We can bribe everyone in Greenland with a check of up to 100 grand if they secede from Denmark. You guys, this is why Greenland. Why are they so obsessed with it? Okay, they have the rare earth minerals that the tech oligarchs want. But the escalation of both Venezuela and Greenland, the seeds of this are in Vladimir Putin's wishes. And even when Fiona Hill was in the administration of Trump 1.0, she and John Bolton were approached by Trump about trying to buy Greenland. And this came from Ron Lauder, the Estee Lauder heir of Estee Lauder Cosmetics. And he has a lot of conversations with Putin. And this is Putin's ultimate goal. If the United States can get mired down in hemisphere fighting and can get Greenland, then he's free to go take Ukraine. So what we have going on right now is the competitive authoritarian era. We have all of these authoritarians competing for the world order. The problem with our authoritarian in the United States of America is he's a. And he's very easy to manipulate. You can make him a trophy. You can make up a peace prize to give him. You can tell him he's so great. You can. He's so malleable. Not to mention Putin probably has a lot of compromising information on him that they've made some sort of deal. And in a New York Times article recently, the reporter asked Trump about Xi Jin, Xi Jinping invading Taiwan. And he said he can do whatever he wants. I just told him I'd be very unhappy about it. So as you can see, the American, the United States of America has completely committed the suicide of a superpower. To quote Susan Rice, we are no longer a government or a country of the people, by the people and for the people. We have. Our Congress has completely abdicated all power to this man. And he seems to be controlled and dog walked and manipulated by these other authoritarians. The least of which somebody with cancer, somebody that needs health care. You're never going to get get it in this country because this is a country now for oligarchs. This is a country now for the not 1%, the 0001%. And let's just take the Greenland aspect for a second. Americans would think oh dang, I'd take 100 grand and I'd become a citizen of XYZ country. Because that's kind of the cancer in our culture in Greenland. It's not like that. Pop this up Kylie. Denmark offers Greenland lifetime free health care, lifetime free education, the strongest pension in the world, paid maternity leave, paid paternity leave, free child care and a 700 million annual transfer payment. The US offers Greenland a one time check for 10 grand. Maybe if he keeps his word. And so what Americans that are deeply embedded into MAGA culture can't understand is that people who live in countries where, where their government works for them and provides a social safety net for them and takes care of the most vulnerable, they have higher happy factors. Now in the MAGA world they say oh they're socialist, oh they're commies. But a lot of the people in the MAGA world are a part of these social safety net programs in the United States. Food stamps, SNAP benefits, Medicare, Medicaid. They just don't understand what socialism is. They don't understand that socialism means that you can be rich. But we're not going to let anybody live in abject poverty. And the poverty in the United States is off the chart. For as rich as we are, other countries and other worlds cannot understand how we allow every citizen to own a machine gun. But we'll let them die fumbling through all their medical bills trying to figure out if they can get a cancer treatment or not. And we're the richest country in the world. And I want to remind you, this man who is invading Venezuela, he now wants to increase the already ballooned military budget of $1 trillion. He wants to increase it to $1.5 trillion. We have entered the competitive authoritarian era. He wants our military to be strong because he wants to compete with all of these other autocrats. And then I want to leave you with this final headline. This is the German president and he says, the German president says the United States is destroying the world order. And Germany, as you remember Post World War II has been our ally. And now we have all of our allies that have woken up. I saw a video yesterday of Macron talking about how Europe needs to basically cut ties with the United States of America because we are clearly carrying out Russian wish lists. Marco Rubio's foreign policy points, JD Vance's foreign policy points. Kank's foreign policy points tend to mirror those points of the Kremlin more than they do what's best for America and for the United States of America and for democracies around the world. All right, that's all I have for this episode. Please, like, subscribe and I'll be back later with more news.
