Robert, Mia, and James discuss the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicol&aacute;s Maduro by U.S. Forces, and what it means for the USA and the world.

Every day Robert Evans, Garrison Davis, Mia Wong, and James Stout take you on a jaunty walk through the burning ruins of the old world and towards a better one that lays just on the horizon.
