U.S. Military Action in Venezuela and Its Aftermath
U.S. operation in Venezuela was not a war but a short military action to arrest Nicolás Maduro, described as an indicted narco-terrorist.
This was not intended as a regime change through force but rather a law enforcement action supported by the military.
After Maduro’s arrest, Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s former Vice President and a staunch communist, was sworn in as interim president. The text provides extensive background on her Marxist roots, corruption allegations (including gold smuggling), and anti-American stance.
Advocations for free and fair elections in Venezuela to replace the current regime with a pro-America, pro-market leader, highlighting Venezuela’s vast oil and gold reserves and its potential for economic recovery if corruption and communism are removed.
There is discussion of U.S. legal precedent (e.g., Noriega case, Ker-Frisbie doctrine) supporting extraterritorial arrests and the constitutional authority of the President to order such actions, even if they conflict with international law like the UN Charter.


Minnesota Political Crisis and Somali Fraud Scandal
The second part shifts to domestic U.S. politics, focusing on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who allegedly faces a massive fraud scandal involving Somali immigrant communities and misuse of government funds.
The fraud is described as “the worst instance of fraud in American history,” totaling around $9 billion.
Minnesota Democrats are guilty of corruption, vote-buying schemes, and inciting violence to distract from the scandal, even suggesting that Walz called for “war with the federal government.”
A congressional hearing exchange is included, highlighting welfare dependency statistics among Somali immigrant households compared to native Minnesotans, painting a picture of systemic abuse and failed integration policies.

Venezuela looks to a New Horizon, Democrat Maduro Flip-Flop & Minnesota's very own Civil War Week In Review

1. New Year’s Resolutions

The first part of the discussion is lighthearted and personal. Both hosts share their resolutions for 2026:
Ted Cruz’s resolutions:

Lose 30 pounds (from 236 lbs to 206 lbs) through diet and exercise.
Complete a “Dry January” (no alcohol for the month).
Read the Bible daily throughout the year.
Ben Ferguson’s resolutions:

Focus on building muscle after significant weight loss (from 298 lbs to 209 lbs).
Commit to reading the Bible daily alongside Cruz.

They also reflect on family life, parenting, and the emotional challenges of children growing up and leaving home.

2. Minnesota Shooting, Riots & Fraud

The second part shifts to a serious political discussion:
Incident in Minnesota: A woman allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent with her SUV and was fatally shot. The hosts argue that the Left is politicizing the event, portraying the woman as a victim, and using the situation to attack law enforcement.
Rhetoric and Violence: They criticize Democratic leaders for inflammatory language, claiming it encourages violence against ICE and law enforcement. Examples include:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to “get out” of the city.
Governor Tim Walz suggesting Minnesota is “at war” with the federal government.
Fraud Scandal: They discuss a massive Somali-related fraud in Minnesota, allegedly involving $9 billion in taxpayer funds across multiple sectors (childcare, transportation, etc.). The conversation frames this as deliberate Democratic corruption tied to immigration policies and vote-buying.
Law Enforcement Advice: Practical tips for interacting safely with police during traffic stops are shared, emphasizing respect and de-escalation.

Cilia Flores’ Role: Far from being a symbolic first lady, Flores is a mastermind behind corruption and drug trafficking. She was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury and linked to major criminal activities, including her nephews’ cocaine smuggling.


Western Hemisphere Strategy: The discussion emphasizes the Monroe Doctrine and its modern interpretation under Trump (“Donroe Doctrine”), asserting U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere to counter Russian, Chinese, and Iranian influence.


Military Operation: The arrest of Maduro was a highly precise Delta Force mission, compared to past U.S. interventions like Noriega’s capture in Panama. The podcast praises Trump’s decisiveness and military success without U.S. casualties.


Regional Impact:
Cuba: Faces severe pressure due to loss of Venezuelan oil and the death of Cuban guards during the raid.
Other Leftist Regimes: Leaders in Nicaragua, Colombia, and Brazil are considered weakened.
Mexico: While not a failed state, concerns about narco-terrorism and water treaty disputes are highlighted.


Future of Venezuela:
Interim President Delcy Rodríguez is described as another Marxist figure, raising concerns about continuity of corruption.
Advocates for free and fair elections to restore stability and attract foreign investment, especially in oil and gold sectors.
Venezuela’s vast natural resources make it a prime candidate for rapid economic recovery if governance shifts toward pro-market policies.
