	You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
	The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
	And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
	With the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you, be of good cheer.
	It's the most wonderful time of the year.
	Happiest season of all.
	With those holiday greetings and gay, happy meetings when friends come to call.
	It's the happiest season of all.
	We have made it to another Christmas season here on TPC.
	Our Christmas programming begins right now, this Saturday evening, November the 29th.
	Another year going by far too quickly.
	We are going to be still and know.
	We are going to savor each moment we have together before the sand falls from this hourglass known as 2025.
	Welcome once again to the broadcast.
	We look forward to an amazing Christmas season with you.
	Coming up tonight, we're going to let you know of a few stocking stuffers you can have.
	Our friend Taylor Young from Antelope Hill is going to give us some details on that in the third hour.
	In the second hour, we have once again teamed up with our friend Harry Cooper to supply the all-important incentive gifts for TPC's Christmas fundraising drive that is officially kicked off now and will run through December the 31st.
	Stay tuned when Harry will join us live during the second hour to make the official announcement and provide all of those details and information.
	But first, our friend Jose Niño is back with us tonight to talk about a lot of things.
	The hot spot in the world right now that is Venezuela.
	We're going to talk to him about Venezuela.
	We're going to talk to him about El Salvador's president Tabukele, where he's going to weigh in on the recent GOP infighting and so much more.
	But first, let's say hello to him.
	Hello, Jose, and I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving a couple of days ago.
	Merry Christmas, early.
	Great to have you back.
	Oh, I sure did.
	And thank you again for having me back on the show.
	A lot to talk about.
	And there might be some pretty nasty Christmas gifts or coal in people's stockings if things don't go well on the world stage right now.
	But yeah, plenty to talk about for sure.
	Well, I had texted you prior to last week's show.
	So we had the special show.
	We had a guest in town last week.
	We did a special show.
	But I wanted to be sure to get you tonight.
	And I'd actually texted you back on November the 21st.
	And I said we were getting out ahead of this one a bit.
	But I wanted to have you on tonight on the 29th to discuss, as I just mentioned, Venezuela, El Salvador, Bukele, and other things.
	And you said, well, we may be at war with Venezuela before then.
	I hope we don't get news cucked.
	And thankfully, at least, thankfully for us in our role as commentators.
	If anything, the rhetoric has only escalated, but no war yet.
	And it makes your commentary tonight even more timely.
	So, Jose, from there, take it away.
	What is exactly going on in Venezuela?
	It's been a simmering tinderbox here for a few months now.
	Yeah, I'll start with the short-term picture and then go with the long-term picture.
	So there has been a concerted regime change effort after the disputed elections of 2024 in Venezuela, where there were all these allegations of widespread fraud with regards to Nicolas Maduro's presidential victory.
	And since then, the U.S. government has tried to use this whole drug trafficking allegations, which is quite flimsy when you look at it and also hilariously hypocritical because majority of the U.S.'s puppets and other client states in Latin America, they're all drug traffickers.
	Like everybody, the whole political debate in Latin America is one drug trafficker accusing the other drug trafficker of being a drug trafficker.
	So, yeah, so they're using this pretext to launch a bunch of punitive strikes on supposed drug boats and other vessels that are bringing drugs to the U.S. If you look at the actual data, most drugs that go to the U.S. are coming from Colombia or Mexico, or they're moving over land through Central America through states like Guatemala.
	And I mentioned Guatemala because this is going to tie into something that we will touch upon as well later in this conversation.
	Because all this drug trafficking is just a pretext to carry out regime change in Venezuela, a long goal of the neoconservative Jewish supremacist sect that has taken over DC foreign policy decision making.
	Now, this is where we shift gears to the long-term deal.
	Since Hugo Chavez was elected in 98 and assumed power in 99, Venezuela has taken a more independent foreign policy route by forging ties with the likes of Russia, China, and interestingly,
	Iran, which has caught the eyes of all sorts of foreign policy hawks and even the fanatic Zionist types who increasingly view Venezuela not just as a threat to the U.S., but also world Jewry because of its ties with Iran and other allies like Hezbollah as well.
	And because of that, it is now in the crosshairs.
	And there's also another, there's also other geopolitical considerations as well.
	The U.S. has a very precarious financial situation with its debt.
	And Venezuela is resource-rich, and seizing not only its oil, but its other mineral resources can help stabilize the U.S.'s currency.
	It's also a good way to deprive oil from the likes of China and even countries like Cuba as well, because this is also connected to Cuba because that's long seen as a beta noir of the neoconservative, especially the Cuban lobby.
	So there's a lot of factors in play, but what we're seeing right now, I believe, is the culmination of a multi-decade strategy to topple Venezuela.
	And the latest news is that the airspace in Venezuela has been closed off by the U.S. and we may be seeing some forms of punitive strikes.
	Honestly, like probably we could possibly see them at the end of this conversation or probably in the next few days or so.
	I'm of the opinion that they're probably going to try to time this with the anniversary of the Panama invasion that took place in 1989.
	And if something doesn't happen by the end of December, we might not see anything explosive go on, but you'll still see the hidden hand covert operations and other types of skullduggery.
	But right now, I think it's looking like there is going to be some form of military action against Venezuela.
	Jose, this is Keith.
	Can you hear me?
	Yes, loud and clear.
	Okay.
	Well, first of all, if it's a myth, we need to know it.
	I understand that Maduro and Chavez before him were communists and that they basically threw the nation into poverty.
	And that's the reason we have all of these Venezuelan immigrants.
	What if any part of that is wrong or incorrect?
	Well, it is true.
	What's funny is that Chavez came into power in Venezuela when the previous bipartisan order basically stagnated it and impoverished it.
	And his government initially was able to ride the high oil prices because of the Iraq war and build up like a kind of like tropical welfare state for poor Venezuelans that were largely marginalized by the previous partisan order that was in power from like the late 1950s up until 1998.
	However, Venezuela has a big structural problems because you look at it from the 1970s even to the present.
	It has not really been able to diversify its economy and as a result become stagnant and now increasingly impoverished.
	The Chavista regime has a lot of bad economic policies that have impoverished the country.
	But the recent wave of migration, I think there's two factors that largely explain it.
	Obviously, domestic homegrown factors have played a major role in seeing a lot of migrants come to Venezuela, I mean, come to the states and other parts of Latin America.
	But also, the U.S. has pursued a maximum pressure campaign against Venezuela through stiff sanctions and other measures that have cut it off from the financial system that has basically collapsed its already collapsed economy.
	Just accelerated it.
	This is from like 2017 up until the present.
	And it's generally speaking a complicated matter that can't be explained by one single variable.
	But this is an issue of both domestic governance and also U.S. policy with the sanctions.
	But here's the thing, too.
	Here's the dirty secret that most people won't want to tell you is that this type of crisis environment is perfect for neocons because they're always looking to import cheap migrant labor and Venezuelans will do the trick.
	Perfect.
	Perfect.
	Well, I say perfect.
	It's horrible, but it's a perfect place, a perfect cliffhanger time to take this break.
	And we'll be back with Jose Niño next.

	You know where the solution can be found, Mr. President?
	In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.
	More babies will mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term large-scale problems.
	American babies in particular are likely going to be wealthier, better educated, and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries.
	As economist Tyler Cowan recently wrote, quote, by having more children, you're making your nation more populous, thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.
	The planet does not need for us to think globally and act locally so much as it needs us to think family and act personally.
	The solution to so many of our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.

	It's the right time to rock the night away.
	Jingle bell time is a swell time to go gliding in the one horse sleigh.
	Welcome back, everybody.
	Jose Niño, as we are kicking off TPC's Christmas programming here tonight, this last Saturday of November.
	Jose Niño has been on a hell of a run the last few years as a star writer for the American Free Press.
	He's a journalist.
	He's a political commentator all over the place.
	He has a sub stack.
	We'll plug all of his contacts in just a minute.
	He's really in more places than I can even keep up with.
	Very popular on the interview circuit these days as well.
	And yes, Jose, as you mentioned before the break, Donald Trump just today, just earlier this morning, writes on Twitter.
	I guess he's back on Twitter now.
	He sold Truth Social, I believe.
	But to all airline pilots, drug dealers, and human traffickers, please consider the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety.
	Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
	Half of it's in caps, all caps, half of it's not.
	A lot of bombasted bluster, as usual.
	But what, again, is the situation on the ground, as Keith mentioned, okay, just, you know, they may have had some communist influences down there, but that's not necessarily the reason Zanila.
	Maduro, a good guy or a bad guy, Jose.
	I've always tried to cover Venezuela neutral to the point where some people think I'm a regime apologist, others think I'm part of the opposition.
	And that's where I like to be because it shows that I'm not engaging in political hackery.
	But yeah, his Maduro's government, he's not as competent as Hugo Chavez.
	And honestly, there's a lot of credence to conspiracy theories that Huachavez may have been actually assassinated because he ostensibly died because of cancer during his regime.
	And they replaced him with Maduro, who is just not as competent and not as able to run the country like Chavez.
	And that has resulted in Venezuela actually having to turn to external actors like Russia, China, and Iran to get by and get more help.
	And even Cuba as well.
	And I just see him as another Latin American strongman that is governing a dysfunctional polity because Latin America in general is just a mess.
	And regardless of who he is.
	If that's the situation, I understand that Venezuela has more oil in the ground than just about any other place, 14.7 trillion in reserves.
	How in the hell can't they make ends meet with that type of resource package?
	Their oil, well, for starters, this goes back to the third world mindset.
	Like the culture and just the political structure of Venezuela has been like a mess and no amount of oil wealth will mask it.
	And the oil there is a lot thicker and harder to refine, which just makes it even worse because you don't have the human capital or culture to do that.
	And the issue is too, and this is increasingly since the first Trump administration, with all these sanctions and other punitive economic measures, it's just made it more difficult.
	It's just a perfect storm of bad domestic factors and external factors that make the country just constantly underperform.
	But I would add that most Latin American countries in some shape or form kind of suffer from this thing because that region, there is a bountiful resources, but there's not much in terms of human capital, very backwards cultures, and also the occasional U.S. interference doesn't help.
	But the region is just like, it's just a reminder that non-white regions are just going to be less developed in general.
	Is that because they're less competent?
	And let me ask you this.
	I remember back in the 60s hearing about something called the, it was some air conditioning company.
	I didn't know if it was Johnson or Carrier or something.
	And they had the Venezuelan venture where they were going to do all of this manufacturing in Venezuela.
	And they've wound up getting all of their executives kidnapped and held for ransom and whatnot.
	Do you recall that episode at all?
	Not really.
	In the 60s, I will say this about Venezuela.
	Up until like the 1980s, Venezuela had a larger white European population.
	And that explained why it was just more developed and more stable.
	To put this in perspective, up until the 90s, from like the 50s to the 90s, Venezuela was generally considered not just like the richest country, but also the most politically stable democracy in Latin America, where a lot of countries just backslid into military dictatorships or strongman rule, whereas Venezuela had a party system.
	A lot of that, in my opinion, is largely due to the wave of European migration from like Portugal, Spain, Italy, and to a lesser extent, Germany, that it was able to attract from like the 1910s up until 1980.
	But since then, it has attracted more intra-South American migration, which is largely going to be more non-white.
	And as a result, in addition to a bad economic model, it just became more dysfunctional over time.
	Jose has a firm grasp on so many geopolitical issues.
	And this is a specialty of his.
	Not that you have to have routes that extend to a certain destination in order to speak fluently on it.
	But, Jose, you in fact do.
	What is your background vis-a-vis Venezuela?
	Yes, I was born in Venezuela.
	in Valencia, which is to the south of Caracas.
	And this is a city that's like 2 million people.
	But I moved to the United States.
	My family brought me to the States when I was around like seven years old.
	Like came to the States around late 90s.
	And I've always been interested not just in the politics of Venezuela, but also other foreign countries, given my background.
	I've watched the situation up going down in Venezuela from afar for some time.
	I've been there a few times, but the last time I went there was in 2016.
	And it's given me perspective on just the differences, not just governance, but also like the people and the racial stock of countries.
	I've lived in other countries like Colombia and Chile as well.
	So I have a pretty good grasp of Latin American cultures.
	And that has informed a lot of my political views over time.
	Well, I will say that you have certainly, I don't want to say burst onto the scene, but you are pretty much everywhere now.
	And I know he won't mind me passing this along to you, but I was talking to Kevin McDonald, oh, I don't know, two weeks ago, maybe a little bit longer than that, within the last month anyway.
	And you are regularly featured at the Occidental Observer now, and he was certainly giving you high praises when your name came up in conversation.
	I do want to pass that along to you.
	And we will get to an article that you recently published at TOO in just a moment.
	But first, let's go back to this.
	If, in fact, war does come to Venezuela, and again, Keith was mentioning, okay, they have a communist background.
	There are some things there to maybe like, some things not to like, but that is in some ways immaterial to why the neocons may have interest down there.
	Why invading Venezuela won't be a walk in the park?
	This is an article that you posted not too long ago, just a few days ago.
	I believe you were on with Warren Baylog to talk about that on War Strike.
	Break down that article for us in the two minutes we have remaining this segment.
	Essentially, the logic that neocons have is that they can replicate the successful Latin American interventions in Granada of 1983, I believe, and Panama in 1989 in Venezuela in a way to knock out the Maduro regime and install their puppet, the Nobel Prize winner, Mariakonina Machado.
	The problem is basic geography and math.
	For example, Granada is like over 2,000 times, I mean, Venezuela is over 2,000 times larger than Granada, and Venezuela is 12 times larger than Panama, with just much more people as well.
	And the geography is not very favorable as well because there's a lot of mountains, vast plains, and dense jungle, and nearly 3,000 kilometers of coastline.
	The terrain, in my opinion, is very ideal for guerrilla warfare.
	And there's tens of thousands of fighters as well.
	They're like irregulars.
	These aren't just like Venezuelan conventional forces, but like they're like called colectivos and other, even Colombian paramilitary groups like the National Liberation Army, FARC, and other splinter groups that are crawling around the area or willing to just go from Colombia.
	And even there's some of these groups also in Brazil that are willing to cross over to just fight a potential invasion force because there's very deeply rooted nationalism in leftist circles in Latin America that would attack any type of U.S. force that invades these countries.
	And even the Venezuelan military, though it's pretty dysfunctional, it has received a lot of fancy equipment from Russia, ranging from like SU-30 fighters, anti-ship missiles.
	So this won't be necessarily a walk in the park.
	The U.S. military is very skilled at destroying stuff.
	The big problem isn't so much can they take out the Maduro government, which I believe they can.
	It's the day after, which is going to be the problem.
	You might see a prolonged insurgency and a massive refugee influx, too.
	We are going to post, cross-post this article at thepoliticalaccessible.org on Monday.
	Why invading Venezuela won't be a walk at the park.
	You're hearing Jose break it down tonight.
	You can read it for yourself now or on Monday when we post it.
	This is something that I know you're interested in, folks, and we're going to compliment what you're hearing tonight on Monday there on the site.
	We'll be right back with the man himself.

	A lot of snow, rain, and cold weather await travelers for the rest of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
	With winter storm warnings posted Friday across the northern part of the country and more snow falling over the Great Lakes region.
	Airlines around the world canceled and delayed flights heading into the weekend to fix software on a widely used commercial plane after an analysis found computer code may have contributed to a sudden drop in the altitude of a JetBlue aircraft last month.
	Airbus says an analysis of the JetBlue incident revealed intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls on the A320 family of aircraft.
	There are some new developments in the Trump administration's push for redistricting.
	White House correspondent Greg Klugston reports.
	A panel of three federal judges in North Carolina has cleared the way for a new congressional map to be used in the 2026 midterm elections.
	The judges rejected arguments that the Republican redrawn map amounted to unconstitutional political retaliation and diluted the voting power of black voters.
	Meanwhile, in a reversal, Indiana Republicans will meet in December to consider a new congressional district map favoring GOP candidates.
	The state Senate's Republican leader had previously said they would not meet because there was not enough support to pass a new map.

	Rocking around the Christmas tree.
	Well, there's no time like it, ladies and gentlemen.
	A beautiful time of year.
	That whole light in the darkness thing, Christmas time.
	Why can't it always be this way?
	And another great guest, another great night here on TPC.
	Of course, as always, we're a show for all seasons.
	Email in right now.
	Finally, a guest telling the truth about Venezuela.
	Great guest tonight.
	Interesting.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	And he will continue now.
	Jose, I tried to scramble and find it during the commercial break, but very quickly before we move down to El Salvador and then back to the United States for your commentary on the recent GOP infighting and everything going on in Trump world.
	But the article that Kevin McDonald published for you at TOO that mentioned the Jewish hand in the Venezuelan affairs.
	Tell us about that.
	Yes, it's titled The Untold Jewish Role in Venezuela's Crisis.
	You can find it also on UNS because, as we know, TOO is largely blacklisted on a lot of websites, search engines, but it's also there.
	But do go to TOO to support Kevin McDonald's work because he does a fantastic job.
	And I am grateful for him giving me that platform.
	Yes, so this is of interest to the people in your audience, James and Keith, that are interested in organized Jewry and the influence it has on U.S. foreign policy.
	Since about 2004 to 2006.
	Um uh, there has been a great degree of interest taken by world jewry in Venezuela because there was, like some incident 2004 where there's this Sephardic Jewish synagogue in Caracas that was apparently attacked after a government-backed Pro-Palestinian rally.
	And that point forward, you started to see more rhetoric from Jew-for-Jew publications like the Times of Israel, the Jerusalem Post, start talking smack about Venezuela and even just trying to criticize it and subtly call for regime change efforts there.
	And I think things really came to a head, though, when Venezuela broke diplomatic ties in 2009 after Operation Cast Led in Gaza, where Israel committed its typical child ritual murder project against the Palestinians there.
	And as a result of that, Venezuela broke all ties with Israel and officially recognized Palestine around like April of 2009.
	If I'm getting the date wrong, but now it gets more interesting, though, over the years because Israel was one of the first countries to recognize the interim government of Juan Guaido in the 2019 presidential crisis of in Venezuela.
	And Guaido, this guy who was the interim president, one of the first people he thanked was Benjamin Netyahoo.
	And also, as far as the opposition is concerned, right now, Maria Karina Machado has actually aligned herself directly with the Israeli Likud party, Benjamin Netyahoo's party.
	And she signed in 2020, the summer of 2020, a formal cooperation agreement with Likud and has actively and explicitly defended Israel's actions.
	And a lot of this is downstream of the fact that Venezuela has forged strong times with Iran and to an extent Hezbollah.
	And as a result of that, now they're in the crosshairs of world Jewry because for For the Jewish set that runs U.S. foreign policy, their entire animus is to make the world safe, not for democracy, but for the pan-Judah, if you will.
	Is there a sizable Jewish population in Venezuela?
	No, not anymore.
	Actually, what's funny is after 2004, there has been a significant exodus of Jews that have moved back to Israel or to the United States, especially South Florida, which is increasingly becoming, especially Miami, the new capital of world Jewry in many respects.
	It's shifting from New York to South Florida.
	And a lot of it's just the fact that after that rally and just the host of actions that Chavez and his successor in Maduro have taken, it's no longer as safe for Zionism.
	I will note that the Venezuelan government isn't anti-Semitic in the conventional sense, but it is anti-Zionist.
	And for that reason, it's not viewed well by world Jewry.
	And the funny thing is, Maduro himself does have a trace amount of Sephardic ancestry, but he doesn't really identify as a Jew.
	I think from his like grand grandmother or like great-grandmother's side.
	But yeah, Venezuela, historically speaking, has never really had a large Jewish community even before the Chavez era.
	Like contrast that to Argentina, which has a pretty sizable and influential one, and it's brought about, and it has one of the most final Semitic administrations right now.
	But Venezuela in general isn't.
	But because of the fact that the Chavista regime has gone against high finance and international capital, it's already going to be seen by many factions of world Jewry as an enemy regime.
	Okay, we'll have to put a pin on that right now only because time demands that we do.
	We will link over to that article at TOO as well, also posted by Ron Uns over at the UNS Review.
	And you can read more about it there.
	Jose, let's move over to El Salvador.
	I'm hearing all kinds of things about President Naib Bukeley being a fascist.
	I mean, normally when I hear somebody's a fascist, I immediately think based on base, but that's, yes, traditionally I would have thought that, Keith, but I know how the media uses this term now.
	So now I'm thinking, well, he might be a centrist.
	He might be moderately right.
	Give us the real deal on Bukele, the president of El Salvador.
	Is he someone to like as if from a South American perspective?
	Could it be that good?
	Could it be true?
	Bukele is one of the most interesting political figures in Latin America because he actually, when he first came into the political scene, he was more of a conventional leftist.
	Not like a radical leftist, but he was a kind of liberal leftist and had a very ambiguous ideology.
	But over time, he's evolved into a more of what I would say is a authoritarian centrist that blends right-wing concepts of like law and order with some degrees of like left-wing economic populism, like minimum wage hikes and other measures.
	And he has turned things around in terms of public order in El Salvador.
	He's also made the country into a hub for cryptocurrency investment.
	He has provided a unique alternative model in Latin America that actually is actually pretty unprecedented because it breaks a lot of the typical left-right polarization in the country.
	And he's able to be kind of like an enlightened dictator, if you will, that actually channels the will of the people better than so-called democratically elected governments in Latin America.
	And actually, the broader West, to be honest.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	So again, I've heard a lot of good things about him.
	I actually had a friend who was down a couple of weeks ago speaking at a conference in El Salvador.
	And there's a lot of good things going on down there.
	But again, is there more smoke than fire when it comes to the whole fascist moniker that he's been labeled with?
	Not that I see that as a derogatory adjective, but I mean, I just mean not a communist.
	He's really something else.
	Okay, well, let's compare him to Franco or Pinochet.
	Is he anywhere on that spectrum or where does he land?
	Above Trump, in between Trump and Franco?
	Where are we?
	I think he's actually more effective than Trump in many respects.
	I would say that he's kind of more on the Francoist side in a way because he's very unconventional in the economics.
	He's not as liberal as Pinochet or Franco on the economic side.
	He's more interventionist, and that makes him hard to pin down.
	But he is like an authoritarian caretaker.
	You got to have authoritarianism to get things in order.
	That's going to take, as I like to say, a lot more than soap and water to clean up this mess here.

	And I brought some corn for poppy.
	The lights are down way down low.
	Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
	That's what you'll hear in the credits when the credits are rolling of one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies, Die Hard with Bruce Willis.
	A Christmas movie, to be sure.
	There's debate about that.
	We've settled it now.
	It's a Christmas movie.
	But let's see here now.
	What do we want to talk about?
	I have to say, I've shared this story before, but I'll share it again.
	I am at a conference giving a talk in Alabama a few years ago, and John Friend, my friend and your friend, our friend, John Friend.
	He says, you know, we could really use some more quality writers for the American Free Press.
	Do you know anybody that could contribute something that would be good?
	I said, the best writer out there is a guy named Jose Nino.
	We were in a hotel room.
	I was sitting there in a hotel room after the talk.
	It was later that night.
	We were sitting there, and I said, you really need to look into Jose Nino.
	And that was some years ago.
	And Jose now is featured two or three times in every issue.
	He's always got premiere placement on page six there.
	And he can write about anything, and he does.
	He does.
	And we're going to give him a quick chance to plug all of his contacts, folks.
	If you're not reading, listening, following Jose Nino, you need to do that.
	He's one of our favorites.
	He's one of the very best.
	And Jose, give all that contact information you want to pass along.
	Yeah, my main locations where I'm most active on are obviously Twitter at Jose Al Nino.
	And then my sub stack, Jose Nino Unfiltered, which you can find at joseal nino.org.
	My regular job is the deputy editor of Headline USA.
	I have been featured and I still write for various outlets like American Free Press, The Barnes Review, Occidental Observer, and occasionally the Libertarian Institute.
	I also lose track, honestly, the sites I write for too, because I just write for like so many websites these days.
	But it's kind of the story of many Americans' lives that you have to have multiple gigs in this really messed up economy just to get by.
	So I'm always on a constant grind.
	But yeah, those are the main spots where I'm at.
	And also, if you want to, like, my podcast is also my sub stack, El Nino Speaks, as well.
	You can find that there.
	It's iTunes and Spotify.
	Wherever you can find him, and there's no shortage of destinations, do it and follow and support.
	As he said, we are all living off the land in this thing and have been for a long, long time.
	But it has been, you know, it was really, you know, actually, Jose, if you'll even remember this, it was actually you who had extended to me an invitation to appear on your podcast as a guest.
	And that's how I first became acquainted with you.
	And I was so gobsmacked by the quality of the interview.
	I was actually appearing as your guest.
	That's how we first became acquainted.
	And then I said, well, you know, would you return me the favor and appear on the political cesspool?
	And then all of that blah.
	That was years ago now.
	But, you know, the rest is history.
	But do support him.
	Do follow him.
	Do find him.
	And you will not regret it.
	He is talking about and tackling all of the issues, not just geopolitical issues as they pertain to South America, but current events and current issues and certainly the Jewish question and everything in between.
	And it's, in fact, now, just to showcase his versatility, that we ask him to weigh in now.
	This is one of the things, Jose, that you had texted me earlier today that you wanted to address tonight.
	The GOP infighting, where Trump stands now a full year nearly.
	Well, I mean, the election was a year ago.
	We're just a few weeks shy of one year in office.
	Where he stands now a year later, a lot of hope, a lot of promise in the early weeks.
	I mean, you were at our conference in South Carolina earlier this year when there was just a real swell of good feelings and enthusiasm and momentum.
	Where does all that stand now?
	And how do you reconcile all of the infighting, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and everything else going on in the GOP right now?
	I think we're in exciting times because I like instability in many respects with regards to the Republican Party because it just needs to get shaken up.
	It needs much more of dissident voices that challenge the pro-Zionist, pro-Israel narratives, and also challenge the Republican consensus of invite the world, invade the world, invite the world of just perpetual wars and mass migration.
	And yeah, I was disappointed that Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned because she was coming around and turning into a credible populist voice.
	But I suspect there was definitely a lot of Israel first Zionist pressure that may have been not so subtly threatening her to cause her to step down.
	But I hope she continues to fight in some capacity, like a single-issue lobby or advocacy organization that can hold politicians straight.
	But I think the broader Nick Fuentes controversy as well has also further illustrated some of the schisms emerging in the GOP,
	which I think is good because for just too long, I have long felt that the Republican Party has functioned as a de-radicalization mechanism that prevents the American right and broader white interests from asserting itself politically in the way that we all want it to,
	namely restricting immigration, rolling back the civil rights revolution, rolling back the warfare state, and going back to like a more sustainable economic system.
	Basically, what it does, I think, is it purges people that don't have mainstream views or the right quote-unquote views on Jews.
	But yes, all of the things we mentioned, it comes back to the one thing.
	As I always say, the one sovereign, the real sovereign of the U.S., organized Jewry.
	But yes, all the footprints always lead back to the Jewish camp.
	And by the way, I remembered the name of that company with the Venezuelan venture back in the 60s.
	It was York Air Conditioning.
	So you might look that up if you're curious about that.
	That was an effort by a big American company to offshore a bunch of work down there, and it didn't turn out too well, as I understand.
	But you can probably research it and let me know.
	But I'd have to say that.
	I'm definitely interested in that story.
	Yes.
	Well, you know, what I'm.
	Do you think that Marjorie Taylor Green was threatened with the fate of Charlie Kirk?
	Do you think that's why she abruptly stepped out of her position in the Congress?
	Or do you have any other ideas about what might be the motivating factor for it?
	She may have felt a tremendous amount of pressure in general.
	Maybe not like a death threat, but enough pressure that it probably like broke her, to be honest.
	And I think we should also keep in mind, she I've been following her even when I was writing for big league politics in 2015.
	I remember that.
	Big league politics, yes.
	Yes, and I was following her since then.
	She never had the mindset of being a career politician that was going to be in the long haul to be fighting like the deep state, all that for like 10 years or so.
	And those type of factors I think have contributed to her just stepping down from that, just like the pressure from organized Jewry.
	They're doing the same with Thomas Massey, but Massey is well in Kentucky, but Massey has a very strong base of support that he's built since he's been in office since 2012.
	That's kind of prepared him for this moment.
	And I think Marjorie Taylor Green as well, I would add, because she positioned herself as a kind of like MAGA populist and then made this really abrupt pivot towards this more Israeli skeptic populism, may have not covered all her bases to make such a transition and weather the storm as well.
	Because let's face it, if you're going to take a really anti-Zionist position as an elected, like a federal official, you're going to get a lot of heat, a lot of threats and primary challenges.
	And it's not for the faint of heart.
	And I'm not really questioning.
	Well, I was just going to say, and then maybe the demographics of her district, I mean, you know, Georgia is going to be a little more evangelical.
	Her district is going to be a little more, her base is going to be a little more evangelical, probably pro-Zionist than perhaps even Massey's in Kentucky.
	Who knows what all goes into the pie there?
	Yeah, nevertheless.
	What we're really concerned about is there going to be, you know, we're hearing a lot of drama about the Jewish question now.
	Is that going to be a catalyst for real change, or is it going to be a situation that when all is said and done more will be solved?
	Well, I think the Jews projecting forward, Jose, and we have only seconds remaining.
	Thank you again, my friend.
	I just have to say, every time I think that my opinion of you has peaked, you've given us an appearance like this tonight.
	I think tonight reminds me, this hour reminds me why we've been doing this for 21 years.
	Jose, 20 seconds.
	I just don't see.
	I see a lot of things unsettled on the Jewish question going forward in so much as I don't think that they are on shaky ground and it will become even more unsturdy in the years to come.
	I still think that's the same forecast.
	Yes, I hope there's more instability as well because that's what I'm here for.
	Imbecility or instability?
	Well, with a dose of imbecility on the side.
	Imbecility for our enemies.
	What's the quote from the Patriot the Bell Gibson movie?
	You know, I don't know.
	He's too proud.
	He's flawless, but he's too proud.
	And they say, I don't know if that's a weakness.
	No pride will do.
	Well, we'll see.
	Maybe, well, they always overreach anyway.
	Thank you, Jose.
	We'll be back with you, ladies and gentlemen, in the second hour.
	Jose, we'll talk to you again very soon.
	Thank you, my friend.
