The world is viewing a dichotomy of socialism. We know from history that socialism will fail whenever and wherever it is tried. Socialism, the great experiment fails time and again.
It failed in VZ and the government has an opportunity to shift back to capitalism by way of U.S. incentives. On the other hand, that same failed experiment is being tried again in the biggest, most powerful City in the world: New York City.
What’s the difference between Maduro and Mamdani? Not much; they both live in the same city!

Segment Topic:

January 27^th is International Holocaust Remembrance Day and for all those who say they bored talking about the Holocaust, I challenge you to listen closely to this segment.
A portion of the trailer from the award-winning film: “Among Neighbors”
- “Among Neighbors” focuses on one of the last living Holocaust survivors from a small Polish town, and on an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there — six months after the Nazis were defeated.
- Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, “Among Neighbors” examines the story of a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before World War II.
- The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on one of the last living Holocaust survivors from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there — not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors.
- Didn’t Polish Government declare that they had nothing to do with the Holocaust back in 2018 and if so, the slaughter of Jews did not end at the end of the war in 1945? Correct?
Why is there an attempt to rewrite history regarding the Holocaust?
This group is launching a nationwide education campaign sounding the alarm on the parallels between pre-WWII Europe and America today, as far as the troubling rise of antisemitism.
Jonathan, your own family has a similar story. Tell us about it.
What happens when ALL Holocaust survivors are dead?
How is 21^st Century America looking a lot like Germany, circa 1938?
Yaron Lischinsky, a German-Israeli, and Sarah Milgrim, an American Jew—had attended the event aimed at fostering unity among Jewish young professionals and the diplomatic community. An evening to foster cooperation and peace and they both end up dead.
The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year-old man who traveled to D.C. from Chicago. When he was apprehended by event security, he reportedly pulled out a keffiyeh, said “I did it. I did it for Gaza” and chanted “Free, free Palestine!” while in custody.
A significant majority of American Jews have changed their behavior due to antisemitism, with recent data from early 2025 indicating 56% altered their behavior out of fear of antisemitism in 2024, a sharp rise from 46% in 2023 and 38% in 2022, showing increasing levels of fear and self-censorship, particularly around expressing Jewish identity publicly.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day January 27, 2026
I hear people say frequently, that they are sick of talking about the Holocaust. What do you say to those who choose to ignore history?

Your News Talk America with Jake Smith. Welcome to the digital and interactive program.

9:06

Show Open:

An overthrow of the United States Government would eliminate citizenship, so says Amon Blair!
- If you eliminate citizenship, assimilation is eliminated as well. You would have a nation of bunch of communities, such as Ilhan Omar’s district in Minneapolis; lawless, lazy and dangerous?
- Nearly every Somali household with children (89 percent) receives some form of welfare.
- Among working-age adult Somalis who have lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years, half still cannot speak English “very well”.
- About 54 percent of Somali-headed households in Minnesota receive food stamps, and 73 percent of Somali households have at least one member on Medicaid. The comparable figures for native households are 7 percent and 18 percent. (Center for Immigration Studies)
Question: How did importing almost 50,000 Somali’s into the United States benefit our country?

Panelist:

Ammon Blair, Senior Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, is a 20+ year U.S. Border Patrol veteran, and one of the clearest voices on America’s national security and immigration.

Assimilation is not automatic. Allegiance does not arise from exposure to liberal norms alone—it requires enforceable conditions: lawful entry, credible vetting, and clear civic authority.

Modern migration is shaped by transnational criminal networks, terrorist groups, and hostile actors. Many arrivals remain embedded in coercive systems that undermine loyalty to the host state.

State collapse destroys vetting capacity. Admitting individuals who cannot be reliably identified is not compassion; it is a national-security failure. The Somalia–Somaliland contrast shows the core truth: stability follows enforceable sovereignty and defined allegiance, not shared culture or moral appeals. Moral vision depends on political order. Without clear boundaries and enforcement, rival loyalties and extremist networks fill the vacuum. A temporary pause on immigration from high-risk regions is a corrective measure to restore vetting, sovereignty? and ordered liberty—not a punitive one.

Jacob Frey must be feeling the heat!
- First of all, he goes on Fox for the first time (now twice) in 24-hours.
- No longer saying: ICE, GET THE “F” OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS.
- Frey now says: ICE should do its job. Whatever that means?
- Could the disclosure by DHS of the illegal scum which has already been rounded up, have turned public opinion against Walz, Frey and Ellison? Sounds like it!

Segment Topic:

This month, Florida Attorney General James Ulthmier filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for false advertising.
Not over a billing dispute or a sloppy ad claim. Instead, the country’s largest abortion provider has been telling women that its “product” — specifically the abortion pill drugs mifepristone and misoprostol — is “as safe as taking a Tylenol.”
- The truth is far more serious.
As a Florida mother of four daughters, I’m relieved to see our state officials recognize the increased risks of taking the abortion pill and the life that it ends inside the womb. Planned Parenthood should be held accountable for deceiving women and killing their preborn children. Furthermore, the FDA should take note and remove its approval of all abortion drugs and review these risks in-depth for the safety of all women.
The Florida lawsuit claims that Planned Parenthood’s campaign to induce women to purchase abortion drugs by misrepresenting the risks of chemical abortion violates the Florida law. The gross misrepresentation of a drug designed intentionally to take the life of a preborn child can be found on Planned Parenthood’s website, in printed materials, and in television advertisements. In fact, the organization claims that chemical abortion is “extremely safe” in all its descriptions.
However, the data suggests otherwise.
- A recent analysis from the Ethics and Public Policy Center of hundreds of thousands of insurance claims shows one in 10 women suffer severe complications within 45 days of taking mifepristone. We’re talking about things like hemorrhaging, infections or even sepsis, which can turn deadly fast. That’s 22 times higher than what the prescription label claims. Doesn’t sound like Tylenol to me.
- Chemical abortion involves two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol. The first pill starves the developing baby; the second forces the mother’s body to deliver her dead child through hours of violent cramping and bleeding, often far worse than the “mild period” symptoms Planned Parenthood describes. Post-abortive testimonials say they were lied to, left alone on bathroom floors, terrified and hemorrhaging, some permanently scarred or sterilized.
Planned Parenthood’s lies are a deliberate cover-up for the violence they knowingly inflict. By denying the scientific fact that life begins at conception, they not only hurt women with these drugs but also take the innocent life in the womb. And abortion pill access is easier than ever, even in our pro-life state.
Due to the Biden administration’s elimination of nearly all safeguards, abortion drugs are now sent through the mail with no requirement for an in-person exam, ultrasound or follow-up care. Furthermore, there are no regulations governing where or to whom these pills are distributed. Women, many of them minors, are left alone to bleed out in their bathrooms, risking their health and future fertility, all while Planned Parenthood cashes in on another customer.
The Florida lawsuit is a crucial step in the process, but we can’t stop here. This filing should be a wake-up call to the FDA, acting as a catalyst for the new HHS leadership to finally review the abortion pill’s risks as promised. Planned Parenthood must be held fully accountable for deceiving women and killing their preborn children. The FDA should immediately remove its approval of all abortion drugs and conduct a thorough, unbiased review for the safety of every mother and the protection of every child.
This bold action by Uthmeier builds on the courageous leadership of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has made Florida a national beacon for protecting preborn life over the past several years. From signing the 15-week protection in 2022 to boldly enacting the Heartbeat Protection Act in 2023, banning abortion after six weeks when a baby’s heartbeat can already be detected, DeSantis has stood unapologetically for the most vulnerable among us. He fought tirelessly against the radical Amendment 4 last year, which would have stripped away nearly all protections for preborn children and allowed abortion on demand up to birth in many cases.
Thanks to DeSantis’ leadership and the efforts of pro-life Floridians, Amendment 4 was defeated, falling short of the required 60% even as the abortion industry poured millions into deceiving voters.
Yet the abortion lobby is still attempting a run-around of our laws by flooding Florida with mail-order pills and out-of-state telehealth prescriptions. Chemical abortion already accounts for more than 60% of all abortions nationwide. If we allow these dangerous drugs to flow unchecked into our state, we will undo everything Florida families have fought for.
That’s why this lawsuit matters. That’s why Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s promise to reexamine the abortion pill’s risks matters. And that’s why we must keep pushing until these drugs are removed from the market entirely.
In his X post about the lawsuit, Uthmeier said, “We stand by our women.” But Planned Parenthood does not.
Here in the “Free State of Florida,” under leaders like DeSantis and Uthmeier, we will keep leading the nation by exposing the lies of the abortion industry, defending women and their innocent children, and fostering a culture of life because every human life from conception is sacred and deserves protection.

James R. Harden, CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services spoke of the push by Washington to free-up these abortion drugs back in April of 2024.
Tucker Carlson called the pro-abortionists in the Dem-Com party a “baby killing cult.”
What has changed in the country since Dobbs (four-years ago?
HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. is NOT pro-life. We know he has been upsetting the applecart with big pharma when it comes to childhood vaccination. Has he done anything about chemical abortions?
Tell us about “Live Action” and how is it the most effective pro-life movement in America?

Trump affordability tour in Detroit continued yesterday.
Kiersten, the images of ICE agents being attacked by professional thugs (revolutionaries) in MN is being watched all over the world. Do you think the billions of dollars of Somali fraud in MN, coupled with the attacks on ICE agents enforcing Federal law will have any impact on the 2026 midterms?
As we prepare to increase our numbers in the House and Senate; what can you tell us about the quality of Republican candidates who will be presented to the voters this November.
- Yesterday, we welcomed Captain Morgan Murphy, USN (Ret): Candidate for U.S. Senate, running for Tommy Tuberville’s seat in Alabama. He was impressive.
Can you tell us about other national, Republican candidates we should be watching this year?
President Trump has continued to insist in peace through strength. We are seeing this play out with VZ and now the Regime in Iran is feeling the heat. Do you think the average independent voter will continue to support: PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH? We know Republican voters will support it – but will independents continue to support it if the geo-political situation continues to unravel?

- - In a Jan. 13 statement on X, Pirro said the U.S. Attorney’s Office had repeatedly contacted the Fed about cost overruns and Powell’s June testimony before the Senate Banking Committee.
Those inquiries, she added, “were ignored, necessitating the use of legal process—which is not a threat.”

“Our country is being destroyed because good people are tired.” (Steven Kuhn posted video)
You recently posted on X:
They don’t want you seeing the pattern. Venezuela boxed in. Mexico squeezed. Colombia trapped. Iran cornered. Globalist institutions collapsing. While the media screams about everything is being rewritten in real time. If this makes you uncomfortable… Good.
Steven, I wanted you on this program today to discuss irrelevant Europe. Europe has been providing aid, comfort and sanctuary to the Regime in Iran – even before the 1979 Revolution and now they want to be part of the new Iran. What are you hearing in Europe? Are the Iranians who are renaming streets in Trump’s name going to accept Europe having any involvement in rebuilding their country – when Europe helped to destroy it?

CNN’s Erin Burnett provides airtime to fake Philly law enforcement! (Cut 2 then Cut 3)
In reality, Philly Sheriff (and her posse) are a process server, arrest warrant executors. They provide prisoner transport and oversee court officers. This (so-called) sheriff has zero law enforcement powers in the City of Brotherly Love! You know who said that? The police commissioner of Philadelphia. So why did CNN provide her with a platform to double down on her lies and incompetency?
Whoopi Claims All ICE Agents Are ‘Violent Criminals.’ The evidence is that ICE was going after the “bag guys!
- Some of the criminal illegal immigrants busted by ICE over the weekend in Minnesota include:
Mohamud Farah Mohamed, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia with arrests for multiple counts of credit card fraud, drug possession and controlled substance possession and drug trafficking. He was issued a final order of removal in 2022.
Saeb Sivixay, of Laos, who has three prior convictions for selling amphetamines as well as convictions for assault and contributing to a minor’s delinquency. His final order of removal was issued in 2009.

- Whether it is threats from domestic insurrectionists in Minneapolis or threats from Chinese influencers on Tik-Tok, America is under siege. Creating databases on Americans flying the flag is a wakeup call.
- Iran has threatened to hang a protester tomorrow. Would that action; if proven trigger a U.S. (military) response)?
- Erfan Soltani, 26, is facing execution for ‘waging war against God’ after his arrest during anti-regime demonstrations.
- Public messaging from the Iranian Regime differs significantly than private messaging to the White House. The Ayatollah is begging for negotiations.
- Trump slaps a 25% tariff on any country doing business with Tehran. How will this tighten the noose on the regime?
- If Trump decides to strike Iran, does he target IRGC operations?
- Regime is threatening U.S. and Israel; what happens if they strike Israel or U.S. bases?

Segment Topic:

Minnesota has filed a lawsuit in Federal court to stop the ICE raids going on. Will some Obama or Biden judge issue an injunction – knowing it will be overturned on appeal?
Following the announcement that Fed Chair, Jerome Powell was being investigated for lying to congress, Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina threatened to block all Trump judicial nominations from being considered by the Senate. What do you think about that threat?
Senator Tommy Tuberville announced last May that he would leave the Senate to run for governor of Alabama. You announced your candidacy shortly thereafter.
With many of Trump nominees not even being the given to testify before a Senate committee, some of them have already resigned or just walked away, should we end the filibuster? Doesn’t every president have the right to have his or her nominees get an up or down vote in the Senate?
What did you think of the 17 Republicans in the House who voted with Hakeem Jeffries to extend the Obamacare subsidies?

Segment Topic:

More than 3,000 Iranians have now been slaughtered in what can only be described as the Iranian regime’s last, desperate gasp to retain power. Since December 28, the streets of Iran have become killing fields as a crumbling theocracy unleashes raw terror against its own people—men, women, and youth whose only “crime” is demanding freedom.
Safavi, you just heard the words of the Crown Prince: Reza Pahlavi. The NCRI does NOT want the crown prince to return. Why?
- Could he not be a temporary, stabilizing figure; until a stable government was formed?
- We have seen video of some of the protesters are seen and heard chanting; long live the Shah. How do you respond to that?
- Would Maryam Rajavi consider permitting the crown prince to return as a figurehead of State – similar to the Royal Family in the UK.
Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), has called the massacre what it is: a major crime against humanity. She has vowed that the architects and executioners of this bloodshed will face justice in a democratic Iran. Her words resonate because this uprising is not fading—it is expanding, driven by a new generation that understands the regime is weakest when it is most violent.
You have stated in the past that the NCRI does not want outside interference against the regime in Iran, however; President Trump has warned the regime that America will launch military strikes if and when the regime opens fire on protesters. The regime has done so.
What is the NCRI’s reaction to Trump slapping a 25% tariff on any company doing business with the regime?
Iran has threatened to hang a protester tomorrow (26-year old protester). Should that action; if proven trigger a U.S. (military) response)?
Does the NCRI support to normalizing relations with Israel?
Does the NCRI support the establishment of Palestinian Statehood?

Insurrection to Revolution:
Goode was an unarmed citizen – armed with a motor vehicle which she intended to cause harm to an ICE officer.
Renee Goode was a hired thug!
If the insurrectionists are now threating us with guns, they have abandoned their hatred for the 2^nd
If they are going to take justice into their own hands, then I suppose we can as well.
Chinese agent on Tik-Tok is asking the revolutionaries, supporting the communist takeover of America to create lists (databases) of anyone flying a flag at their home, anyone in support of MAGA and President Trump.
Remember, this was test driven during COVID.
Merrick Garland was creating databases of gun owners. Legal gun owners!
Somali’s (including Ilhan Omar) are threatening us of they return to power. She is NOT the only one.
Laura said that this insurgency is designed to undermine our entire system of government. True; but their final act will be to turn this nation into a communist nation. That is their goal and it appears to be gaining traction.
If the Dem-coms and their revolutionaries have moved on from voting, they obviously have chosen open warfare to takedown the Republic.

A new report from the Heritage Foundation argues the American family is in crisis and that strengthening marriage and family formation should be a core focus of U.S. federal policy.

- Of Somali immigrant households with children, CIS reports, 89% use some kind of welfare — 86% of such families are on Medicaid, compared to only 28% of Minnesota households headed by a native-born citizen.

Show Open:

What is the media saying about the ICE officer shooting in Minneapolis?
- ABC Analyst Smears ICE Agent in Minneapolis, Suggests He Didn’t Know What He Was Doing
- Baseless Smearing of ICE Agents by Media Analysts: ABC analyst Elizabeth Neumann recklessly accused an ICE officer of being undertrained and clueless in a deadly Minneapolis shooting, speculating that rapid hiring under the administration led to incompetent agents—despite admitting no knowledge of the officer’s background or facts.
- Ignoring Facts in Favor of Anti-ICE Narratives: Media outlets like ABC downplayed the woman’s use of her vehicle as a deadly weapon, labeling her “unarmed” and echoing far-left Mayor Jacob Frey’s profane demands for ICE to leave Minneapolis, while fellow analyst Robert Boyce fact-checked these claims and urged waiting for evidence.
- Provocative Speculation Fuels Division: Neumann doubled down by blaming the incident on the administration’s “provocative” anti-migrant playbook, claiming it endangers both officers and the public through hasty expansions—exemplifying premature judgments that undermine law enforcement without substantiation.
- NBC Only Newscast to Report Vehicular Obstruction in Minneapolis ICE Shooting
- NBC Stands Alone in Honest Reporting: While ABC and CBS buried or ignored key facts in the Minneapolis ICE shooting, NBC Nightly News was the only legacy evening newscast to clearly report that the woman was actively obstructing federal agents by blocking traffic with her vehicle—providing crucial context that justifies the officer’s use of force.
- Rare Media Praise for Defying the Anti-ICE Narrative: In a refreshing break from the usual bias-by-omission, NBC’s Tom Llamas and Tom Winter delivered nuanced, fact-based coverage, highlighting the vehicle’s role in blocking law enforcement and the potential imminent threat, rather than defaulting to the media’s typical impulse to paint ICE in the worst possible light.
- Context Matters—NBC Proves It: By noting the police chief’s statement about the vehicle blocking agents, the activated lights identifying law enforcement, and the split-second decision facing an officer in front of a moving car, NBC gave viewers the full picture and a “dose of context and nuance” that exposes how other networks deliberately omit exculpatory details to fuel outrage against immigration enforcement.

Monologue:

“Backstabbers”

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

10:08

Segment Topic:

Venezuela did not collapse quietly—it fused itself to the criminal underworld until the line between government and cartel disappeared entirely. What Nicolás Maduro presided over was not a failed state, but a weaponized one: a narco-regime that moved cocaine through diplomatic channels, laundered blood money through political power, and exported chaos northward through Mexico and into the United States.
Now, with Maduro removed, the illusion has shattered. What’s left is a dangerous vacuum, a cartel ecosystem scrambling for control, and a hemispheric reckoning Washington can no longer avoid. Joshua Philipp, investigative reporter at the Epoch Times, argues this moment exposes an uncomfortable truth: Venezuela was never an isolated disaster—it was a model. A blueprint for how criminal syndicates capture governments, hollow out institutions, and turn entire nations into trafficking corridors. And if the United States misreads this moment, the rot doesn’t stop in Caracas. It spreads.
Philipp connects this directly to Mexico, warning that the same cartel-government fusion now defines large parts of the Mexican state. He highlights President Donald Trump’s unprecedented warning that Mexican cartels—now designated terrorist organizations—could be next, and explains why Trump believes Mexico’s leadership is unable or unwilling to confront them. According to Philipp, the stakes are no longer abstract: cartel operations are killing hundreds of thousands of Americans through fentanyl trafficking while corrupting governments across the hemisphere.
What makes Philipp’s take particularly compelling is his explanation of why Venezuela matters strategically right now. He argues the U.S. intervention signals a revival of the Monroe Doctrine, aimed at dismantling cartel states, rolling back Chinese influence in Latin America, and reasserting U.S. control over hemispheric security. Maduro’s alleged cooperation with Mexican cartels, Colombian drug labs, and protected shipping corridors shows how deeply regional governments have been compromised.
Philipp also raises the explosive implication that Maduro is now cooperating with U.S. authorities—“singing like a songbird”—handing over documents that could expose bribery networks, political protection rackets, and cartel-linked officials well beyond Venezuela’s borders.
This is not just about drugs. Philipp frames the moment as a turning point in how the United States confronts criminal regimes, with Mexico, Colombia, and even Cuba potentially facing escalating pressure.
For audiences trying to understand what comes next—and why Venezuela is only the opening act—Joshua Philipp delivers a stark, evidence-based warning: the era of cartel governments is colliding head-on with American power.
Iran and its proxies were in VZ and were a threat to the U.S. Homeland. It appears the regime in Iran is falling. What are your thoughts in Iran today?
Will the regime (in a final move), launch an attack in Israel?
If that occurs, will the U.S. need to get involved at that point?
Who returns to lead Iran? NCRI or Shah’s son?

- Iran in turmoil – does this feel different than the other uprisings?
  - Amid growing protests in Iran over economic struggles, exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi expressed gratitude towards US President Donald Trump for his strong stance against violence directed at demonstrators. Trump had issued a stark warning to the Iranian government, saying that if the authorities continue to target peaceful protesters with deadly force, the US would step in to offer support.
  - For the first time since 1979 – there are chants: “LONG LIVE THE SHAH.”
  - Pahlavi has roughly a 35% approval rating inside Iran, but experts question with these approval numbers, why hasn’t he been able to organize an overthrow of the current regime?
  - And, the US appears to be building up for action in Iran. This is similar to the buildup before the capture of Maduro in Venezuela.
  - Could the regime launch an attack against Israel to draw attention to their domestic problems?

Your News Talk America with Jake Smith. Welcome to the digital and interactive program.

9:06

Show Open:

Minnesota (State and Minneapolis) this is what I described as a “Super Sanctuary.”
The woman gunned down by an ICE agent in Minneapolis has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who described herself as a mother, a wife and a poet.
“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother, Donna Ganger, told the newspaper. (NY Post)
Her mom added: “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”
Good was the mom of a 6-year-old boy and had recently moved to the neighborhood with her wife and son, according to her distraught spouse and a neighbor who spoke to the Tribune. She was killed just blocks away from her home, the outlet reported.
Her young son was left an orphan by the shooting, according to his shaken grandfather.
The child’s father, a comedian Good was previously married to, died in 2023, also at age 37.
“There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s paternal grandfather told the local publication, adding he’d do whatever it takes “to come and get my grandchild.”
I have to admit my friends, I agree with Tampon-Tim. This was “so preventable,” but in reality; it was so predictable because this shooting was precisely what the Dem-Coms were planning; this shooting was exactly what the Dem-Coms have been hoping for.
As this nation inches closer and closer to all-out revolution in our streets, at what point do we need to plan for a Maduro like capture of each and every Dem-Com planning for the overthrow of our Republic?
Don’t be fooled at the phony outrage of the Dem-Coms to this shooting by an ICE officer, our enemies are already using it to muster the troops for another George Floyd election year push.

9:35

Segment Topic:

What is the probability that these organized groups targeting Federal law enforcement are being funded, controlled and coordinated by foreign actors, such as the CCP?
The NY Post reported earlier this week that a far-left, China-aligned group which organized pro-Nicolas Maduro protests in New York and other US states was organized by a hardcore left-wing group The People’s Forum, which has close ties to China.
Yesterday in Minneapolis, we saw Mexican flags being waved and the American flag burned!
In your recent story in The Gateway Pundit on December 18^th, you point out that:
- “Angry Instagram posts claim that ICE snatched peoplefrom their citizenship hearings or the final stage before being sworn in as citizens, but these stories intentionally misrepresent the facts. They want people to believe that ICE did something nefarious, prevented applicants from completing a legal process, or restricted or violated their rights. In reality, ICE actions are legal and easily explained. The media simply refuses to print the truth and explain what is actually happening.” Does that not appear like propaganda designed to stir up the kind of activity we saw yesterday?
Graceffo, what is your analysis of the Russian-flagged tanker incident off the coast of VZ yesterday?

Panelist:

Antonio Graceffo, PhD, China-MBA, is an economist and national security analyst, with a focus on China and Russia.

10:20

Segment Topic:

Dem-Coms found a way to get Somali-fraud story buried and in a hurry!
There was a rush to label a woman who tried to mow-down the officer as the victim and the officer as a murderer.
The dead woman was apparently causing trouble for ICE all day. Why was she there? I thought she was a loving mom?
The woman gunned down by an ICE agent in Minneapolis has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who described herself as a mother, a wife and a poet. (NY Post)
Why wasn’t Renee at home writing poetry?
Why wasn’t she watching her child?
According to the dead woman’s mother: “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” She also tried to cause harm to a Federal law enforcement officer. What we all saw did not look very compassionate did it?
If the father of her child is dead, why did she risk her own life? Now her child is an orphan.

10:33

Segment Topic:

Police officers at: “At that moment!”
2014 SCOTUS decision – qualified immunity for officer who used deadly force (9-0 decision)!
Judge, you have seen the video of the shooting, what is your analysis from a legal standpoint?
The capture of Maduro and his wife is a hotly debated topic right now.
- Did the active warrants on Nicholas Maduro and his wife justify the action?
- You have recently rejected the argument on the Monroe Doctrine with respect to VZ. Do you still reject this argument?
A Lawless Presidency: (Judge Andrew Napolitano)
- The United States invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro, the domestically recognized Venezuelan president, violated the U.S. Constitution and international law.
- The Constitution makes clear that only Congress can authorize a foreign invasion.
- In the pre-World War II era, Congress declared war on countries that attacked the U.S. or were allied with those that did, and those declarations expired upon the surrender by legal authorities in the targeted countries.
Was this really an invasion or a military operation?

James Madison himself argued at the Constitutional Convention that if a president could both declare war and wage war, he’d be a prince; not unlike the British monarch from whose authority the 13 colonies had just seceded.

And the American drafters of the U.N. Charter, indeed American senators who voted to ratify it, understood that its very purpose was to prevent unlawful and morally unjustified attacks by one-member nation upon another.

Panelist:

Judge Andrew Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Newsmax, Host: Judging Freedom Podcast; his latest Opinion Piece: “A Lawless Presidency”

Segment Topic:

Sam, what is your analysis of the ICE officer shooting yesterday in Minneapolis?

What is the latest on the J6 Bomber case?
When can we expect a decision on the Tariff’s case?

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

11:05

Segment Topic:

We discussed the crisis with Venezuela with you back on December 18^th. Has your view on the crisis changed since Maduro was captured and arrested early Saturday morning?
- Anything changed in your mind since?
- Venezuela is back at the center of Washington’s power struggle—and this time, the stakes are unmistakable. As oil, sanctions, migration, and ideology collide, both parties are quietly conceding what they once denied: Venezuela is no longer a foreign-policy sideshow, but a pressure point capable of reshaping U.S. politics, hemispheric stability, and global energy markets. Behind the rhetoric of democracy and human rights lies a harder truth—America’s Venezuela policy is being rewritten in real time, driven less by principle than by fear of chaos, oil shocks, and the consequences of having no good options left.
- How has Venezuela shifted from a peripheral issue to a central fault line in U.S. politics?
- Why are both parties now rethinking positions they once publicly denied on Venezuela?
- What role do oil, sanctions relief, and energy markets really play in Washington’s Venezuela calculus?
- How has the collapse of Venezuela’s economy reshaped U.S. immigration and border politics?
- What risks does the U.S. face by easing pressure on Caracas without meaningful democratic reforms?
- How are regional actors in Latin America responding to Washington’s evolving Venezuela strategy?
- What does Venezuela reveal about the limits of sanctions as a long-term policy tool?
- What happens if U.S. policy miscalculates—either by disengaging too much or intervening too late?
  - You are not a fan of the CIA, however; the agency was involved in this operation!
- In your opinion, is Venezuela stable today and if not, who is destabilizing it?
- Will China, Russian, Iranian and other foreign enemies work to destabilize VZ, such as occurred in Iraq?

Panelist:

The situation in Venezuela has reached a dramatic inflection point, and veteran central American journalist Bill Conroy rejoins our panel to break down what it means for U.S. strategy, regional stability, and the global geopolitical landscape.

Mr. Conroy has authored the upcoming book: The Great Pretense: A Tour Through the Boneyard of the CIA’s War for Drugs. His book is available for preorder today!

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

11:33

Segment Topic:

Although Venezuela is mainly responsible for the exporting of cocaine into the U.S. and Europe, what does the capture, arrest and arraignment of Maduro mean for the war on drugs?
- The Administration is talking tough; warning other drug exporters in the region. Is this peace through strength?
Jaclyn, you reposted on X:
Kash Patel confirms the Trump administration just seized enough fentanyl to kill 175 MILLION AMERICANS. It appears we are making progress, but the danger from Fentanyl to our country is far from over.

Your News Talk America with Jake Smith – 1/5/2026

By DataTech Digital | January 5, 2026

Your News Talk America with Jake Smith.
Welcome to the digital and interactive program.

9:06

Show Open:

A fierce debate is raging in America since Maduro’s capture; the Administration is defending this action as a joint military/Federal law enforcement action to bring two drug kingpins, under indictment to trial in the United States. How do you see it?
How do you respond to those Democrats who are outraged by this action? I do not remember some of these same members of the Washington cocktail crowd criticizing Obama when he was vaporizing American citizens in foreign countries?
Is the interim president of VZ really in charge? If not, who is running the country this morning?

Panelist:

Jonathan T. Gilliam, author: “Sheep No More; The Art Of Awareness And Attack Survival”

Gilliam began his career in service as a Police Officer just outside of Little Rock, Arkansas before he received his commission in the United States Navy at Officer Candidate School (OCS).

After graduating Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL (BUD/S) training, Gilliam was assigned to SEAL Team FOUR where he received his SEAL Trident. After attending US Army RANGER School, Gilliam forward deployed as Officer in Charge (OIC) in Central and South America as a Navy SEAL Officer on Counter Drug/Narcotics missions.

In 2002, Gilliam stepped out of military service and directly into federal law enforcement where he served in an undercover role as a Federal Air Marshal flying on US transcontinental flights, including flights that were being targeted on 9/11/2002 by Islamic jihadists. Later that year Gilliam also served as a Security Specialist Contractor for the US Department of Homeland Security, responsible for Instructing soft target sectors as a member of an assault team showing them how they could target themselves from an attacker’s perspective in order to build awareness for action and better defenses for reaction to attacks.

From 2005-2013, Gilliam served with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a Special Agent in the New York Office on criminal and counterterrorism squads.

9:20

Segment Topic:

Hours prior to the operation, Maduro met with a Senior Chinese delegation in Caracas. Do you think the Chinese suspected that the U.S. might move again Maduro?

Crude oil futures are moving downward since the futures market opened this morning, how does a falling price of oil on the world market affect Putin and his ability to continue to fund the war with Ukraine?

Do you think the United States is hunting for Iranian agents, members of Hezbollah, Hamas and the cartels trying to escape Venezuela right now?

We learned the hard way from the Iraq invasion that the military operation is the easy part. What comes next could spell disaster. What happens if If Venezuela unravels? What happens if region descends into chaos? The political ramifications will be severe for the President and his Administration?

“Dem-Com Money Trail”

Segment Topic:

Ryan, can you walk us through the planning, preparation and execution of the Maduro compound raid. When did the planning for the operation begin? What about training – where did that take place?
Which branches of the U.S. military were involved and which intel agencies?
How many U.S. servicemembers were involved in the operation? How many participated in the air and on the ground?
What is your sense of what kind of military and intel presence is in VZ right now?
Do you believe that there are active operations going on right now to hunt down Iranian agents and other potential U.S. enemies to prevent them from causing trouble for the U.S. and further de-stabilizing VZ? Iran caused the U.S. many problems in Iraq, do you have a sense that the Administration is aware of this and will not permit Iran to interfere – like they did in Iraq?

Panelist:

Ryan Morgan, Reporter: The Epoch Times

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

10:08

Segment Topic:

Is it all about the oil?
S. now in control of VZ oil reserves, estimated to be at 300 billion barrels of oil!
VZ has the largest oil reserves in the world! How important is that to the United States and being in control of those reserves, provide leverage against our enemies, such as Russia and China?
Larry can you tell us what Chavez and his successors did to VZ’s oil business?
S. oil companies sued VZ multiple times over the years and won their cases. VZ owes billions, with interest to the oil companies. Are they likely to demand guarantees that VZ commits to paying them damages (with interest) before THEY commit to going back there?
How much oil was VZ pumping before nationalizing the oil fields and how much (per day) are they pumping now?

Panelist:

Larry Behrens, Communications Director: Power The Future, a national nonprofit organization that advocates for American energy jobs.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

10:20

Segment Topic:

Consumers are asking, will Operation Absolute Resolve affect gasoline and diesel prices here in the United States. What will we see long and short-term?
If the PPB falls too far; too fast, won’t it have a negative effect on oil and gas exploration projects slated to be part of “DRILL BABY DRILL?”
Larry, tell us about U.S. refineries in the region, weren’t they built to refine the heavy VZ oil and have they bee affected by how the communists in VZ were running their oil business?
Prior to the communist takeover of VZ, were Venezuelans benefitting financially from the countries oil exports?
Who has been benefitting since Chavez ruled the country?

Panelist:

Larry Behrens, Communications Director: Power The Future

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

10:33

Segment Topic:

Here we go again?
Do Americans have the stomach for more foreign involvement?
We were promised no more foreign wars, no more regime change. Could we be facing another Iraq?
The last time you were a panelist in YNTA, you discussed your years; living in Vietnam and how the Vietnamese people really did and do love Americans. In Iraq, we were for the most part, viewed as liberators; but that did not last long. How do you think Venezuelans inside and outside Venezuela view this operation?

Panelist:

James Bradley, author of Precious Freedom: A Novel, is the New York Times #1 bestselling author of Flags of Our Fathers, Flyboys, The Imperial Cruise, and The China Mirage. James lived in Vietnam for ten years to research and write his fifth book, Precious Freedom: A Novel of the Vietnam War.

10:50

Segment Topic:

Schumer calls Maduro capture lawless!
Mark, the Dem-Coms are beside themselves at the capture and arrest of Maduro and his wife. Venezuelans (in exile) in America were dancing in the streets. Dem-Coms were lining up to demand another impeachment. What do you say to them this morning?
Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot warned Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino in a post on X that his “day of reckoning is fast approaching.”

Panelist:

Mark Vargas, Editor in Chief: Illinois Review

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

11:05

Segment Topic:

It appears that the operation itself was the easy part. How do you keep VZ stable? How do you prevent Iran and other U.S. enemies from destabilizing VZ – the way they destabilized Iraq? The global chessboard?
- It appears that the U.S. infiltrated Maduro’s inner circle to gather as much intel needed to pull this off. Did one of his own turn on him or did one of the Cubans providing his personal security turn on him?
- General, can you outline for us the domino effect triggered by the raid on Maduro’s compound (Russia, China, Iran, Iranian proxies, Cuba)?
- What do you make of the outrage on the part of the Democrats on Operation Absolute Resolve? What are they afraid of? Who are they afraid of? Were they taking money from Maduro to support his regime?
- Why do you think a Senior, Chinese delegation was in Caracas – meeting with Maduro on Friday?
- You and I were speaking by phone last night – specifically about Putin and Russia. At the outset: U.S. control over the worlds largest oil reserves and the plummeting price of oil on the world market – does not bode well for Russia and their war with Ukraine. Can you explain to us why?
- If U.S. oil companies can rebuild VZ’s oil producing infrastructure, China and Cuba will surely benefit?
- Is the new President, Rodriguez a puppet on a string?
- Could Operation Absolute Resolve destabilize VZ and the region? If so, how?
- How will the Maduro capture play out at Davos two weeks from today? Trump is scheduled to speak at Davos – is that a good idea from a security standpoint?
- Do you believe that the U.S. has active operations to track-down and capture Iranian agents and Iranian proxies in VZ – before they can pose a threat (direct or indirect) to U.S. personnel in VZ?
- In the latest “Dangerous Intellectuals” podcast, just downloaded this morning, you indicate that U.S. forces have ignited a geopolitical inferno, shattering alliances and unleashing potential backlash from cartels, Russia and China – right into America’s backyard. Can you explain the risk factors to us?
- General, can you explain the “GLOBAL CHESSBOARD” and how it has been flipped upside down?
- In the days ahead, what signs of stability and instability should we look for coming from VZ?
- What signs of weakness and instability should we look for from America’s enemies, such as Russia, China, Iran, Cuba and the EU?

11:33

Segment Topic:

Earle, how did VZ go from one of the most riches and vibrant economies in the world to an economic disaster?
Prior to Chavez, did the average VZ citizen benefit from VZ’s oil business?
S. oil companies are owed billions of dollars (with interest) from VZ from their illegal seizure of oil properties and equipment. How would this be paid back from a bankrupt nation?
PPB on oil has fallen this morning on world markets. Will this benefit American consumers and how?

Panelist:

Dr. Peter C. Earle, Economist: American Institute for Economic Research

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

11:45

Segment Topic:

China reacted swiftly to the military strike on Saturday night, expressing shock and condemnation. Beijing subsequently called on the U.S. to releasethe ousted Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife, and urged Washington to resolve the crisis through dialogue. (CNBC)
Why was a Senior Chinese delegation meeting with Maduro in Caracas on Friday?
Did the capture of Maduro take the Chinese by surprise? What is Beijing worried about this morning?
How do you see the latest China military exercises near Taiwan last week?
Gordon, last week China placed a tax on purchasing birth control methods. Are they preparing for war? Will they need more soldiers? Is that what is behind this move? What about the one-child policy.
