Segment Topic:
- Does Trump have Venezuela over a barrel?
- S. Military Presence in South America Is Also about China’s Oil Supply.
- Up to this point, we are being told by the Trump Administration that our actions against Venezuela are focused on narco-terrorists. What is the truth?
- How does Maduro and Venezuela affect China and Russia and Iran?
- The move strategically targets the economic and logistical arteries that connect China, Iran, and Russia through Venezuela’s collapsing infrastructure. Disrupting those flows hits Beijing’s oil security, Tehran’s covert trade routes, and Moscow’s ability to project influence south of the Caribbean.
- It’s no coincidence that the latest actions in Venezuela by the U.S. come just days after China announced that it was moving the goalposts on its rare earths deal with the U.S. Some months back, China agreed to lift export controls on rare earths and recently reneged on that deal. Not long after that, we see a U.S. presence in Venezuela, a country that China desperately needs for its oil.
- The situation in Venezuela isn’t isolated — it’s a convergence point. Behind the headlines of drug raids and cartel clashes lies a far bigger story: Venezuela’s role as a geopolitical hub for America’s greatest adversaries.
- China relies heavily on Venezuelan oil to offset its own energy vulnerabilities and fund its Belt and Road projects. Russia uses the Maduro regime as both a military and intelligence foothold in the Western Hemisphere. Iran, meanwhile, has leveraged its relationship with Caracas to evade sanctions, move oil, and extend its influence into Latin America — the same region now seeing Iranian-linked activity spill over into the Gaza conflict.
- How is China connected to the war in Gaza?
- Is President Trump forced to deal with the reality when he is talking to Putin; China is always lurking in the shadows?
- President Trump announced yesterday that he will meet with President Xi in South Korea next week, however, is Xi still running China or has the CCP clipped his wings?
- What is the truth about Elon Musk’s growing influence, Joe Biden’s China entanglements, and the role of U.S. universities in Beijing’s espionage network?
Panelist:
Joshua Philipp, senior investigative reporter with The Epoch Times and host of Crossroads
Lee Smith, New York Times bestselling author, investigative journalist and author of: The China Matrix.
Lee Smith reveals the shocking truth about how U.S. political and corporate elites conspired with Beijing to reshape the global order—at America’s expense.

- Do Tom Homan and Pam Bondi need to stop threatening to arrest Michelle Wu, JB Pritzker, Brandon Johnson and Lori Lightfoot and start doing it? What is it going to take, a dead ICE officer?
- A new memo has been unearthed, showing that the Trump Administration is preparing to mobilize National Guard troops across the nation by April 2026 to stop potential uprisings amid the nationwide No Kings protests and violent anti-ICE protests in cities like Chicago, Illinois, and Portland, Oregon.
- This comes after the Trump administration won a lawsuit over the President’s deployment of National Guard troops in Portland to quell riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Trump has activated hundreds of California and Texas National Guard troops in Portland and Chicago, but was recently blocked by a Trump-appointed District Court Judge.

Segment Topic:
- Remembering the Iraq War and those brave men and women who fought there:
- The Last 600 Meters, a 90-minute documentary looking back at the Iraq War, will be broadcast nationally on PBS on the eve of Veterans Day, November 10, 2025 at 10PM (check local listings).
- There is a hunger for films that celebrate the men and women fighting for our freedom that portray them objectively, without political commentary.
- The Last 600 Meters focuses on two of the deadliest battles of the Iraq War, in Najaf in the South against the Shiite Mahdi militia, and in Fallujah in the West against Sunni insurgents.
- The film tells the story of these battles, not through narration, but through the words and deeds of those who fought there. It tells the ground truth. This compelling documentary of urban warfare is newly relevant, in light of the ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
- If you could list the three most positive aspects of our war in Iraq, what would they be?
