Episode Details

Trump has blown an Epstein-sized hole in Venezuela. Francesca unpacks the stupidest rationale for this coup ever with comedian Trae Crowder as we toast to the 5th anniversary of our own American coup, January 6th.

Then Professor Alexander Aviña joins to look at the kidnapping of Nicholas Maduro from every angle: the restarting of a belligerent Monroe Doctrine, the internal geopolitical dynamics of Latin America, and Cuba’s resilience despite being next in the crosshairs.  

Plus, the Trump regime wants us to pay no attention to what allegedly happened on a yacht on Lake Michigan and we cannot stop thinking about it.
