DIAL Producers and The Talk of Delmarva Callers
———————————————————————————————————————————————————
11:05
Segment Topic:
- We discussed the crisis with Venezuela with you back on December 18th. 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.

- 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?

- These types of incidents typically kill and injure more people who are trying to evacuate – than the fire itself.
- Fireworks could have been brought to the club by a customer – who planned to trigger them inside at the stroke of midnight?
- The club would not have been outfitted with fire a rated interior and if it had, those treatments are typically not rated as a larger venue.
- In some cases, flame retardant treatment flakes off over time.
- You be sure that there were plenty of combustibles inside; plenty of fuel to burn.
- Was occupancy of the club within limits established by the jurisdiction?
- Were all fire exits open and accessible?
- Did smoke inside the club hinder evacuation?

Segment Topic:
- We now know that Somali’s infiltrated the United States for the intention of defrauding U.S. taxpayers of billions of dollars and laundering this stolen money to overseas terrorist organizations such as Al Shabab. But how did they get that money overseas?
- Did they line up at their local Western Union – like illegals and wire that money back to their home countries? Did they use another method?
- How bad is Somali-Gate you ask?
- Last night at Mar A Lago, President Trump said:
- “Can you imagine they stole $18 billion,” Trump said. “That’s just what we’re learning about. That’s peanuts. And California is worse, Illinois is worse and sadly New York is worse.”

- MPD noted that the center later reached out with additional information, but the updated police report was not immediately available.
- A TSA Agent observed Somalis carrying millions of dollars in suitcases at airport checkpoints. (NY Post)
- A former TSA Agent claims that Somolis transported millions in cash through airports during her time as an agent. She saw the money herself. She also notes that there are paper trails and videos of this trafficking.
- This might account for where the estimated $9 billion stolenin Minnesota’s sprawling social-services scam, orchestrated mainly by members of its Somali community, went. This $9 billion is nearly equivalent to the entire economy of Somalia. (Joe Hoft/The Gateway Pundit)
- While traveling with large amounts of money is not illegal, as long as it’s documented, she also explains how much money she saw, how law enforcement officers were contacted, and how little was done about it.

Show Open:
- Trump says Hamas must disarm following Netanyahu meeting!
- Netanyahu was seeking firm firm assurances from President Trump that Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza demilitarized before any further steps are taken. (NY Post)
- Earlier this month, officials from the US, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey met in Miami to discuss plans for the force — though Israel has said it would not accept Turkey taking part due to its president, Erdogan (ird-oh-wan), cultivating close ties to Hamas throughout his tenure.
- The US and Israel want the ISF to have a “commanding role” in security duties, including disarming Hamas and other militant groups. But countries being courted to contribute troops fear that mandate will make it an “occupation force,” a Western diplomat told the Associated Press.
- Hamas has said it is ready to discuss “freezing or storing” its arsenal of weapons, but insists it has a right to armed resistance as long as Israel occupies Palestinian territory. One US official told AP that a potential plan might be to offer cash incentives in exchange for weapons, echoing a “buy-back” program Witkoff has previously floated.
- As feared, Hamas has had time to rearm and restructure its leadership.
- Hamas confirms five leaders killed, including ‘masked spokesperson’ in major blow to terror group
- Hamas only recently acknowledged that their command structure was decimated by the Israeli’s last year!
- In a statement released on Monday by the group’s armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas said that Mohammed al-Sinwar, the brother of former Hamas leader Yahya al-Sinwar, was killed during Israeli military operations in Gaza, according to the Jerusalem Post.
- Al-Sinwar had risen to a senior role within the organization and was widely viewed as a key figure in Hamas’ wartime command following the deaths of other top commanders.
- Al-Sinwar’s brother, a co-mastermind of Oct. 7 attack, and other high-ranking commanders acknowledged dead by al-Qassam Brigades.
- If they are only acknowledging these months after the Israelis whittled down Hamas command – what does this tell us?

Segment Topic:
-
- Operation “Raise the Colours” seems to be igniting patriotism and nationalism in the UK!
- A battle over British identity and the nation’s flag is just the latest issue to widen the political divide in the United Kingdom in 2025. As the Labour government continues to face growing criticism over a number of issues, from cracking down on free speech to its migration policies, many Britons are concerned about their country’s future.
- The issue simmered over the summer amid concerns of a growing rift between the ruling elites and members of the public centered on the nation’s flag. The debate, while ongoing for several years, gained new life since anti-Israel protests erupted after Hamas’ mass terror attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, when Britain saw a proliferation of Palestinian flags across the country.
- Tensions were further heightened over the display of Palestinian flags on public buildings, with critics arguing it represents an abandonment of traditional British values, and that immigrant communities are dictating community values. Several councils in major cities bowed to public pressure. Those cities — all with sizable immigrant communities — including Sheffield, Preston, Bradford and others chose to raise the Palestinian flag last month to honor the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. (Fox News)
The UK had not been particularly patriotic when it came to flying their flag in recent years.
However, those illegals who flooded the UK were proud to fly their own flags, which appeared to Brits as a symbol of victory over their sovereignty.
Last year: “Raise the Colours” movement started and it is picking up steam.
Should we permit a foreign flag to fly in the United States?
Should we permit Muslim call to prayer from invading our communities?

Segment Topic:
- MIT hit with federal discrimination complaint over ‘graduate womxn’ programs!
- The prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was the target of a federal civil rights complaint filed Monday over two student organizations catering to “Graduate Womxn.”
“Graduate womxn” uses the gender-inclusive term “womxn” (pronounced wi-muhn) to refer to cisgender women, transgender women, non-binary individuals, and other gender-diverse people in graduate programs, often in STEM fields like physics, to foster community, support, and equal opportunities, moving beyond traditional definitions of “women.” If you are a biological male, a man, you will be discriminated against at MIT.
- The Equal Protection Projectcharged that the university-sponsored student organizations “Graduate Womxn in Physics” and “Graduate Womxn in Biology” flout Title IX, which bars sex-based discrimination in educational opportunities at institutions that receive federal funding.
- “The Womxn Programs discriminate on the basis of sex because eligibility is conditioned on whether an individual is male or female, notwithstanding the use of gender-identity terminology,” read the complaintto the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
- “Under the Programs’ own definitions, biological females are automatically eligible for participation, while biological males are categorically excluded unless they disclaim or redefine their sex.”
- However, a sect that includes the two MIT student organizations has co-opted “womxn” as an “umbrella term” to refer to transgender and nonbinary individuals in addition to biological women.
- “The situation may be more serious than we even know. The situation may involve other programs that we don’t know about, so we would hope that the Department of Justice would open an investigation,” William Jacobson, president and founder of the Equal Protection Project, told The Post. (NY Post)
Panelist:

Professor Jacobson is also the president and founder of the Equal Protection Project – which has filed a Federal discrimination complaint over this apparent discrimination against male students at MIT.

Show Open:
- Somali-Gate: How is MSM treating this widening fraud scandal in Tim Walz-Minnesota?
- Was it a “LEARING EXPERIENCE?”
- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s office is pushing back against fraud allegations after a viral video showed visits to multiple childcare centers in the state, including one that allegedly received millions of dollars in state funding despite appearing largely inactive.
- Responding to questions about the allegations and the video posted by independent journalist Nick Shirley, a spokesperson for the governor told Fox News that Walz has spent years working to “crack down on fraud” and has taken steps to strengthen oversight of state programs, including initiating investigationsinto several facilities.
- “The governor hasworked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action,” the spokesperson said. “He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed.” (Fox News)
- Independent journalist, Nick Shirley might have ended Tampon-Tim’s political career!
- A 42-minute video by Shirley, posted Friday on X and YouTube, documenting visits to several daycare centers in the blue state, including a location on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis.
- In the video, Shirley and another man are seen at what appears to be a largely inactive childcare facility. The building also displays a misspelled sign reading“Quality Learing Center,” even though the center is reportedly supposed to account for 99 children and received roughly $4 million in state funds.
- How is Marxist State Media treating Somali-Gate? The scandal widens, but the coverage is missing from their airwaves?

Segment Topic:
- Christian genocide in Nigeria; fake news?
- According to MS Now panelist, Morgan State University professor Dr. Jason Johnson appeared on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” where he suggested that the Trump administration’s strike on terror targets in Nigeria was racially motivated. (Yahoo News)
- During an appearance on MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” Johnson told host Eugene Daniels the administration’s logic behind the strikes doesn’t make sense, questioning why President Donald Trumpwould care about African countries he once disparaged. (Fox News)
- Christians being protected by the strike are black Christians!
- But the BBC has found that some of the data being relied on to come to this conclusion are difficult to verify.
- In September, popular television host and comedian Bill Maher upped the ante describing what was happening as a “genocide”.
- Referring to the Boko Haram group, he said “they have killed over 100,000 since 2009, they’ve burned 18,000 churches”.
- Similar figures have also been gaining traction on social media.
- The government in Abuja has pushed back on these claims describing them as “a gross misrepresentation of reality”.
- It did not deny that there was deadly violence in the country. But officials said that “terrorists attack all who reject their murderous ideology – Muslims, Christians and those of no faith alike”.
- Other groups monitoring political violence in Nigeria say the number of Christians who have been killed is far lower, and say most victims of the jihadist groups are Muslims. (BBC World)
- BBC says Christian genocide in Nigeria is “FAKE NEWS.”
- Former Vice President Kamala Harris suggested that it is sexist to mock her distinctive cackle, explaining on a recent podcast how America has “out-of-touch standards” placed on women.
- “I don’t aspire to be humble,” Harris added.
- During Harris’ appearance on the “Rich Little Broke Girls” podcast, she also gave dating advice to young single women, highlighting the importance of finding someone who is kind and makes them laugh.
Kamala Harris providing young women with dating advice is like putting Hunter Biden in charge of ATF!

Segment Topic:
- Rudy Giuliani Was Right but the Damage Was Done!
- Rudy Giuliani kept his integrity. He never wavered under pressure. And he was right. Trump won in 2020.
President Trump has begun sharing court testimony under oath by computer experts Ben Cotton and Clay Parikh on offshore vote changing which if proven true would shake the United States to its core!
- History is not merely tardy in dispensing justice, it is derelict. Vindication arrives only after reputations have been immolated, livelihoods obliterated, and the human spirit subjected to sustained institutional cruelty and destruction. Such was the deliberate fate imposed upon Rudy Giuliani in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
- Recent reports concerning Fulton County Georgia have intensified scrutiny of the administration of the 2020 presidential election there, exposing procedural lapses that fanned long-standing allegations of impropriety. In a December 9, 2025 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board, County officials admitted that they certified approximately 315,000 early ballots without the required poll-worker signatures on tabulator tapes, a clear violation of Georgia law and an egregious breach in the chain of custody that observers use to verify ballot counts and authenticity. (Roger Stone/Stone Cold Truth: 12/26/25)
- What about the lives and reputations of those who were ruined because they spoke out against what occurred back in 2020?
- If these allegations are proven; does Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell and others, receive their reputations back, but most of all, who pays them reparations?
What about those who were denied office due to this fraud? How do you repair this damage?

- Fulton County elections officials admits 315,000 votes weren’t signed by poll workers! (WSB-Atlanta)
- “Trump and codefendants seek fees after Fani Willis case implodes!” (Washington Examiner/Kaelan Deese)
- A Georgia State-Senate Committee questions Fani and her answers appear to suggest that she is playing (what else) the race card.
- Fani calls Trump and his associates, criminals. Is that libel?
- President Donald Trumpand several former codefendants from the collapsed Fulton County, Georgia, 2020 election racketeering case are preparing to pursue millions of dollars in legal reimbursements, arguing that the prosecution never should have been brought and that its failure demands accountability in the upcoming year.
- The effort is expected to unfold under a new Georgiastatute passed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, which allows defendants to recover “all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs” when a prosecutor is disqualified for improper conduct, and the case is later dismissed — a provision enacted with the Trump prosecution squarely in mind.
- Kaelan, do you detect any strain in the relationship between President Trump and AG Bondi?
- The calls for her ouster are getting louder by the day. Will she survive?

- President Donald Trumpsaid Sunday that peace talks to end the war in Ukraine are close to completion after a meeting in Florida with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with both leaders citing major progress on a 20-point plan while acknowledging unresolved disputes over territory, ceasefire terms and Ukrainian approval.
- What does the 20-point peace plan contain?
- What will happen to the Donbas Region?
- Trump and Zelenskyy spoke to reporters following their meeting at Mar-a-Lago, describing weeks of negotiations involving U.S., Ukrainian, European Union and NATO officials that have moved a potential peace framework close to the finish line, though several high-stakes issues remain unresolved.
- Trump said negotiations have intensified over the past month and suggested discussions are far more advanced than at any previous point in the war, while cautioning that final agreements depend on resolving a small number of difficult questions. (Fox News)
- Colonel Douglas Macgregor NATO AND EUROPE ARE DOOMED (IVAN8848/X)
- The divorce is not finalized, however there is a trial separation between the U.S. and the EU:
- Addressing his party on 14th December, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made headlines with remarksunprecedented in postwar Europe.
- “Dear friends, the decades of Pax Americana are largely over for us in Europe, and for us in Germany as well. It no longer exists as we know it. And nostalgia won’t change that. The Americans are now very, very ruthlessly pursuing their own interests. And this cannot have a different answer than that it is time that we also pursue our own interests. And dear friends, here we are not weak, we are not small.”
- Pax Americana, the US-led security order that has come to define American and European partnerships since the end of the Second World War, is now being openly questioned. Indeed, Merz has crossed a line that few European leaders have even contemplated since the Cold War – triggered by the shock generated by the new US National Security Strategy (NSS), issuedearlier this month.
- Is President Trump’s life in serious danger and why is the Secret Service continuing to put his life in danger?
- The Secret Service continues to endanger the president’s life with lax security, and the government is sitting on information that might expose recent failures which allowed President Trump to get shouted down by Code Pink protestersduring a recent outing to a Washington DC restaurant, advocates fear.
- “I’m just really concerned about the president’s safety,” Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch told The Post.
- “He was almost killed twice supposedly under the protection of the Secret Service and then they walked him into a potentially dangerous ambush,” he said of the September incident at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab.
- Hamas builds new terror regime in Gaza, recruiting teens amid problematic election!
- Isn’t this what Hamas wanted?
- Khalil al-Hayya and Khaled Mashaal are radical contenders to lead Hamas following deaths of Haniyeh and Sinwar.
- Hamas is rebuilding a new Gaza terror apparatus and using the ceasefire with Israel to boost its military, restore a problematic leadership structure and recruit a new generation of teenage fighters, according to a leading national security analyst.
- Professor Kobi Michael, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies and the Misgav Institute, told Fox News Digital that the pause in fighting has given Hamas breathing room to regroup.
- “Everything that is happening will continue happening as long as Hamas continues to effectively control the western part of the Gaza Strip,” Michael said. (Fox News)
- Natanyahu wants Trump to commit more money and arms for another incursion into Gaza, however; isn’t it time that neighboring Arab countries start to carry some of the load?
- Addressing his party on 14th December, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made headlines with remarksunprecedented in postwar Europe.
Should we take Iran’s latest threats seriously and what should Trump do?
