Episode 78 begins with an examination of the U.S. extraction of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, tracing how years of indictments, failed negotiations, and mounting regional pressure culminated in their removal and transfer to New York. It then outlines the varied political and diplomatic reactions across the hemisphere, highlighting how governments, institutions, and analysts are interpreting the operation’s implications for Venezuela and the broader regional order. The hour concludes with an interview featuring Nancy Lee Gulbrandsen, a Florida‑based author and humorist whose satirical dating guide, Swipe Left: The Savvy Woman’s Guide to Decoding Men’s Dating Profiles, transforms her own online‑dating misadventures into sharp, empowering commentary for women. She brings wit, candor, and a distinctly modern voice to her work, helping readers navigate the chaos of contemporary romance with humor and insight.
