Make Venezuela Great Again?

The Pod Boys are back and 2026 is already spiraling. In this explosive premiere, Jeezy, Manny, and Chuck unpack the jaw-dropping U.S. military operation that literally kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. With precision straight out of a Tom Clancy novel (or Homeland episode), Operation Southern Spear flipped Caracas upside down.

The crew dives into how the mission went dark, what Trump’s press conference revealed (and confused), and why Maduro was rocking Nike Tech like it’s Fashion Week. But beneath the chaos lies a global power play: oil, lithium, China, and America’s never-ending thirst for control.

Strategic genius or international felony? And most importantly, why does Marco Rubio have so many job titles now?

With humor, hot takes, and geopolitical context, this episode sets the tone for a chaotic, unpredictable year. Tune in, and remember: it’s not a coup if you call it freedom.

39
Jeezy: It's about time for that 6 o'clock feed.
40
Jeezy: 6 AM, and you know, if you're… if you're a dad that's president active, you know that when you gotta get up and you doing baby duties and stuff that early in the morning, you kinda… you're there, but you ain't there. You're kinda on autopilot a little bit.
41
Manny: Yep.
42
Jeezy: I mean.
43
Chuck: No power.
44
Jeezy: I was waiting for the bottle to warm up, and as I'm sitting there waiting for the bottle to warm up in the bottle warmer, I have my phone.
45
Jeezy: And… I checked my phone, and I just happened to go to CNN, and I looked, and I seen…
46
Jeezy: That something had took place that I just… my brain couldn't even process it.
47
Jeezy: It said that the U.S. had captured and flown the president of Venezuela out of the country, and I say, hold on, bro, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
48
Manny: I must… I must still be dreaming. It must…
49
Jeezy: What's that movie, Inception? I must be on the…
50
Manny: the next level, like, I hadn't fully woke up yet.
51
Jeezy: And I remember… like…
52
Jeezy: trying to process it, and I came downstairs at my in-law's house, and I'm sitting there, and I turn on… immediately turn on the TV, and my father-in-law comes downstairs, and I say, hey, the U.S. just did XYZ. He couldn't believe it, and he sat on the couch next to me, and we both looked at.
53
Manny: Just confused.
54
Jeezy: I remember looking over at my father-in-law, and he put his head in his hand, and just shook his head, and he said.
55
Jeezy: What is going on?
56
Manny: Right.
57
Chuck: What is it?
58
Jeezy: What is going on? So, to our listeners, this is what we're gonna be talking about today. This is what this episode is. This is going to be the introduction of Make America Great Again, the South America Division.
59
Jeezy: Or make Venezuela great again. I don't know if Mava, or I don't know.
60
Jeezy: We'll figure, we'll figure out the merch.
61
Manny: Hey, well, that's…
62
Chuck: Make oil consumption and drilling great again.
63
Manny: That's true, I would like to welcome our new 51st state to the Union.
64
Jeezy: Somehow this is Canada's fault.
65
Manny: If…
66
Chuck: If Venezuela gets statehood before Puerto Rico.
67
Jeezy: Bruh.
68
Chuck: Or Guang.
69
Chuck: Well, no, we don't want Guam. Guam's too far away.
70
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
71
Chuck: Puerto Rico…
72
Manny: Virgin Islands.
73
Chuck: Virgin Island!
74
Chuck: Like, what? I mean, I guess because Trump can't… Trump can't throw all the paper towels.
75
Jeezy: Bruh.
76
Chuck: to that many people in Venezuela as he can in Puerto Rico. He can't do Puerto Rico like that. Not Puerto Rico.
77
Jeezy: We love Puerto Rico.
78
Manny: So… So… so you brought up how you found out. Yeah.
79
Jeezy: This is how I found out. Okay. I was up late.
80
Manny: All the kids went to bed. I'm just chillin'. I'm scrolling Twitter.
81
Manny: And I see a post that's… X. I'm sorry, yeah, X. Sorry. Sorry, Elon. Scrolling X, and I see a post that somebody's like, oh, the US has started striking Venezuela. I'm like, okay, whatever, you know, it's Twitter. It's 50-50 at best.
82
Manny: keep scrolling, I see about 3 or 4 more other posts, but I don't see anyone significant say it. So I'm just like, whatever. Whatever it is, it's probably something real generic, just start of the year stuff, whatever.
83
Manny: I'll… I'll see what happens in the morning.
84
Manny: Well, I go to sleep.
85
Manny: I wake up in the morning.
86
Manny: say good morning to my wife, grab my phone, look at CNN, and… Just like you, geez.
87
Manny: confused. Somebody… Right.
88
Manny: We did what?
89
Manny: Like.
90
Jeezy: A little confused.
91
Manny: And it's… I think for me, it's the fact that we did it.
92
Manny: We did what sounds like flawless execution.
93
Manny: And no one did anything about it.
94
Manny: And I'm like… I'm like… where were you? You were at your house? Like, how were we able to do this?
95
Jeezy: Well, we're gonna talk about the.
96
Manny: Yeah, sorry, sorry, yep.
97
Jeezy: Apparently, from Trump's understanding, he was held up in this heavily fortified military.
98
Manny: base that… Right. Mark.
99
Jeezy: The description is wild, bruh. And we will talk about it later, but Trump got the… I felt like I was watching my 5-year-old try to tell me about her dad's school.
100
Jeezy: I was like, yeah.
101
Manny: It's so unbelievable.
102
Jeezy: It's so unclear.
103
Jeezy: and ill… and ill-prepared from a grammatical standpoint. Trump talk, bruh, Trump is too old to talk that young.
104
Manny: When Trump… it's specifically scripts and speeches that Trump… you can tell Trump has a special hand in writing. This was one of those. And they are written…
105
Manny: almost as if somebody said, alright, Donald, that you gotta get 500 words before you turn this in, and just words just be flying.
106
Chuck: Manny, I think you give him way too much credit.
107
Chuck: I don't think all of it is written. I'mma tell you what I think happened.
108
Manny: No, it's definitely not, it's definitely vibes.
109
Chuck: There are bold words and titles.
110
Chuck: bullet point reference points. And pictures. Because how do you… how do you go on the tangent that he goes on?
111
Jeezy: Yo, let me tell you.
112
Chuck: gets off-script if you're going off a written statement. Now, we know what part was written, because he had his head down, facing the post.
113
Manny: Focus.
114
Chuck: Focus.
115
Jeezy: That chin don't leave his chest.
116
Chuck: And then, once he hit that point of, okay, I'm tired of reading this, and he probably… he probably got dizzy. That's what it was.
117
Manny: Right.
118
Chuck: when you, when you…
119
Manny: My head down too long?
120
Chuck: Oh, exactly.
121
Jeezy: Dude!
122
Chuck: Did he… he popped that head up from looking at that podium in that paper?
123
Chuck: And it was no holes barred. He just said, I'm gonna speak from the heart now.
124
Jeezy: I can't do this. I can't do this. Trump is wild. We'll talk about the press conference a little bit more, but to our listeners, just to kind of give you a little bit of a foundation, early Sunday morning, before the sun came up.
125
Jeezy: Over Caracas.
126
Jeezy: The United States…
127
Chuck: It's Saturday morning.
128
Manny: Yeah.
129
Chuck: Saturday.
130
Jeezy: Oh, Saturday, sorry.
131
Chuck: Yes, sir.
132
Jeezy: Saturday morning, Operation Southern Spear, the phase of a broader intelligence and pressure campaign known as Operation Absolute Resolve, which we might have to stop using.
133
Chuck: That name, because.
134
Jeezy: I don't know if resolve is absolute.
135
Jeezy: But there was a… this mission was cultivated in the capture of Nicholas, Menduro, and…
136
Jeezy: We rarely just went into a whole nother… Nation.
137
Jeezy: took the president, if you… whether you think he's a legitimate president or not, and I know there's some conversation about that.
138
Manny: Depending on where you're listening from.
139
Jeezy: Yep. And brought him to the United States.
140
Jeezy: And a Nike tank.
141
Manny: Yes, absolutely the Nike Tech. But I got to looking…
142
Chuck: Go ahead, Manny.
143
Chuck: They changed his outfit, like, 4 times! I was about to say that. That's where I was going, because the very first pictures and video
144
Chuck: I guess on the tarmac or wherever, when they first
145
Chuck: to safety. He had a blue hoodie on.
146
Manny: Yeah.
147
Chuck: He had a blue hoodie on and some dark pants.
148
Jeezy: Why the… why the costume change?
149
Jeezy: He got a mean… brother, he got a mean overnight bag.
150
Chuck: It's been the night bag. It's been the night bag is tough.
151
Jeezy: Look, look, it's been a nightmare. But look, the crazy part about it is that…
152
Jeezy: You know, the stray that got caught was his wife, though, bruh.
153
Manny: Bruh.
154
Jeezy: She caught a mean string.
155
Jeezy: And we'll talk about it when it comes to the first appearance that they had in court today, but she, bruh, she called hella stray.
156
Manny: Like, she's just chillin'.
157
Jeezy: But it'll crack, really.
158
Manny: Ribs, like, she's hurt.
159
Manny: beat up on her face, like… Right. Come on, y'all.
160
Jeezy: She ain't got nowhere near the costume change. I ain't seen her with a bottle of water.
161
Chuck: Bye.
162
Jeezy: Right, good.
163
Chuck: You got there.
164
Jeezy: I want her dirty, but… Super d.
165
Chuck: dirty.
166
Jeezy: went into this… went into Venezuela, and…
167
Jeezy: really legit went in and got him in. You know, Trump had his press conference, and they talked about how the execution of this was flawless. I will say this, from this standpoint.
168
Jeezy: Given this, this administration, And the amount of just… Fumbling that has taken place.
169
Jeezy: I am impressed that this did not get leaked on Signal.
170
Jeezy: I'm impressed.
171
Manny: Do you think Pete knew?
172
Jeezy: They definitely didn't read it.
173
Manny: Amen.
174
Chuck: 15 minutes before it happened. They ain't had time.
175
Jeezy: They definitely, they told Pete, or if they did, they told him they waited until he had a couple of them drinks in them.
176
Manny: Well, you look at…
177
Jeezy: Told him in passing, he don't remember.
178
Manny: If you looked at him during the press conference, like, he got up there, he was just kind of saying words, like, it was just cohes… it was just rhetoric, pretty much. Like, he legit may not.
179
Chuck: Situation Room. The picture in the Situation Room. He looked like he was not a part of the conversation, he just got invited in there when things started happening. Hey, I need you to come in here, so you can see what's going on.
180
Jeezy: Hey, log on to X. Yeah.
181
Manny: And tell me what they saying about Venezuela on X.
182
Manny: Which is why… and to that point, since we're on the Situation Room, Donald John Trump.
183
Jeezy: Now, John.
184
Manny: Donald John.
185
Manny: wants to be Barack Hussein Obama.
186
Manny: Right. So bad.
187
Jeezy: So bad.
188
Manny: So bad.
189
Jeezy: And it's nuts, bro.
190
Jeezy: Internet.
191
Manny: And you know what?
192
Chuck: He doesn't like the love. He's jealous and envious of the love.
193
Chuck: Obama receives, and he wants that. We all know the reality TV star, the movie actor, like, he wants to be seen, he wants… he longs for that affinity and affection
194
Chuck: that… Obama receives, and… he tried. To your point, man, he definitely longs for that.
195
Manny: But here's where I push back.
196
Manny: I don't think he longs for it. I think he gets it from the mega groups.
197
Chuck: He wants it from everybody, though.
198
Manny: I think… I think this thing with him and Obama…
199
Manny: goes all the way back to that White House Correspondence Dinner. Oh, yeah. Because… You know us.
200
Jeezy: Mama had the whole room laughing at him.
201
Manny: You, you know us, we are all prone to at least one joke too many.
202
Manny: That one… Obama?
203
Jeezy: Mama had about 5 days.
204
Manny: Right. At least.
205
Jeezy: And my feet.
206
Manny: And, like, from that moment, it was on, yeah. It was…
207
Jeezy: The supervillain was born.
208
Manny: It was at that moment.
209
Chuck: But here's where… and I completely agree with you, but here's where I,
210
Chuck: Give my point of he, he's longing for… the Obama effect of love.
211
Chuck: Before he ran for president, especially in the hip-hop community, Donald Trump's name was…
212
Jeezy: Yeah.
213
Manny: The streets love Trump.
214
Chuck: The streets low.
215
Jeezy: Yeah. Yeah.
216
Chuck: He doesn't get that same level of love anymore.
217
Chuck: Obama has replaced him.
218
Jeezy: Yep.
219
Chuck: I mean, and that's why I say that level of…
220
Chuck: Look, it's not so much acceptance. He doesn't care about being accepted.
221
Manny: Yeah.
222
Chuck: He just wants to be seen as looking good, or feeling like I'm the man.
223
Jeezy: Yeah.
224
Chuck: And for Obama, a lot of the love and fanfare, that's the word.
225
Jeezy: Yep.
226
Manny: Yeah.
227
Chuck: love. It's the fanfare. Yep. And that's what his issue is. He's not receiving that level of fanfare.
228
Manny: Oh, pomp and circumstance.
229
Chuck: circumstance. Yes, sir. Delusions of grandeur.
230
Jeezy: So, so you definitely know that in this moment, he had to, make this as bigly as it possibly can.
231
Jeezy: to make the moment. And again.
232
Manny: Flawless execution.
233
Jeezy: From what I can see, and I have to be honest.
234
Jeezy: Flawless execution, no casualties, no loss of assets.
235
Jeezy: got in and got out, from what I understand. And was able to…
236
Jeezy: to bring him in, and brought them in with no casualty, you know, they didn't have to… you know, from what it looked like from his first appearance today, no, no, no physical injuries. Safe and sound, they really scooped him up.
237
Jeezy: And brought them over to the U.S?
238
Chuck: And, and… since we're hailing praise, I completely agree, and this is…
239
Chuck: Maybe the second major, military operation where there has been a resounding show of the might, the force.
240
Jeezy: Yeah.
241
Chuck: and the technology.
242
Manny: Fuck.
243
Chuck: inferiority.
244
Chuck: of the U.S. military. We go back to Iran, Manny brought this point up, and I'm gonna say the in-depth of it for later, but I'm with y'all. I have to tip the hat of the flawless execution of this operation.
245
Manny: There are a lot of people scrambling right now.
246
Manny: Yes. Like, not… not… and I'm not just talking about, like, Venezuela.
247
Jeezy: Like, Russia is scrambling, China is scrambling, Taiwan is scrambling, Iran is scrambling… lots of people… everyone is scrambling right now, except the US.
248
Jeezy: Bro, they looked around, and everybody, all these other countries look around and said, hey, look, check everybody.
249
Jeezy: Because I was impressed when, you know, they were talking about they had a team that was inside of Venezuela.
250
Jeezy: for months, that knew his… every single location, knew his… just his tendencies. I mean, Trump… and I laugh because Trump says stuff and it's just comical, but when he talked about it being like watching a TV show.
251
Jeezy: Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
252
Chuck: Yeah.
253
Jeezy: This was Homeland. Yeah, exactly.
254
Chuck: This was an episode… in fact, I didn't speak on it as y'all did, but I was a little… I was a bit late, because for some reason, I got… my body was, like, sleep from that Friday night.
255
Manny: True.
256
Chuck: to Saturday, so I slept a little later than I normally do, so when I woke up, you know, the conversation had already started in our group chats, and I was playing catch-up, but…
257
Chuck: it reminded me of an episode of Homeland. And if you've never watched the show Homeland, it's about the CIA, and their infiltration, and their spying, and pulling off clandestine activities of this nature, and it was just…
258
Chuck: preparing for this episode, reading up on some of the happenings of the operation, and like Jeezy said, they had someone on the inside who could
259
Chuck: tell you what Maduro was eating, how he was moving, if… and they, they were saying over the past couple of months, they had drones
260
Chuck: flying over Venezuela, so if he moved, they knew where.
261
Manny: They knew.
262
Chuck: They knew. There was no question about his location, his activity.
263
Manny: Like, it's crazy.
264
Chuck: is it?
265
Manny: There are two groups of people that I don't want doing in-depth research on me.
266
Manny: The federal government, and 50 Cent.
267
Manny: Meh.
268
Manny: I just don't want it to happen, like…
269
Jeezy: Hey, look, 50 gonna have that recon, man.
270
Manny: Bruh, you gonna have the recon. And they just knew EVERYTHING.
271
Chuck: Yay.
272
Manny: And I think where I end up being the most shocked was, again, that nothing leaked. Like, nothing even kinda leaked. When we bombed Iran last year.
273
Manny: it had been leaked out, well, it came from Trump himself, but even before, it had been… it had been hit, like, hey, the US might consider doing this. I don't remember ever seeing, hearing…
274
Manny: thinking about… Something like this occurring.
275
Jeezy: Yeah.
276
Chuck: Well, I have a theory on that.
277
Manny: -Oh.
278
Manny: -Oh.
279
Manny: Is that our first one of the episode?
280
Chuck: No, no, no, because it's part of the context, and I guess it can move along the conversation, but I truly believe…
281
Chuck: the… the, visitors… that Maduro had that Friday, so I'm not sure if…
282
Manny: Oh…
283
Chuck: listeners know, but there were Chinese delegate… a Chinese delegation that had visited Venezuela and had given Maduro some items and different things, and there was a meeting…
284
Chuck: the conversation happening. The details of that conversation, we don't know. It's been theorized that it was to further usher along a potential deal between Venezuela and China, and to lock some things in.
285
Chuck: So… I think this operation was always on the table.
286
Chuck: But I think that meeting moved up the timeline.
287
Chuck: And in that, they said, oh, no, let's go, let's go now.
288
Jeezy: Yeah. Because…
289
Chuck: For them to pull this off merely hours After that, that meeting.
290
Chuck: Not days, not weeks, but merely hours. Meaning, as soon as they knew about that meeting, and the,
291
Chuck: There was video and pictures of that meeting that got broadcasted on state TV in Venezuela. So, just as soon as that information was gone, I believe that that's when
292
Chuck: hey, let's move, because think about it, to get all these moving parts in place, as soon as they found out about… which I'm sure they knew about the meeting as soon as it was put in motion.
293
Manny: Yeah.
294
Chuck: Let's get everything in place, as soon as they're gone, to avoid a major conflict with China.
295
Chuck: Let's go.
296
Jeezy: Let's go ahead and do it. And I think you're 100% right, Chuck, because I think that it was mentioned in the press conference that…
297
Jeezy: Trump… well, before the press conference, that Trump had gave the green light to do so.
298
Manny: earlier.
299
Jeezy: several days.
300
Manny: Yeah.
301
Jeezy: for this, so I think once they caught wind of that meeting, he was like, look…
302
Jeezy: Let's do it. Let's go ahead, set everything in motion. Once they get out, let's go in, do what we gotta do, and make the stance. And I think that, you know, while everybody has looked
303
Jeezy: And talked about the might of the U.S. military in doing this.
304
Jeezy: one thing that I thought of is, surely if they had this amount of intel and wanted,
305
Jeezy: Maduro, they didn't have to go to the length that they did with what their presence was on
306
Jeezy: In sea, on land, in air. And then I thought about it, I believe Manny mentioned it in the group, this wasn't just all about getting Maduro, this was… this was making a statement.
307
Manny: Oh, yeah.
308
Jeezy: This was making a major statement, like, hey, look, no.
309
Jeezy: We're not playing around.
310
Manny: I think…
311
Manny: Jeez, I did think it… I did… do think it was gonna take all this. Actually, no, no, no, you're right. It wasn't gonna take all that. I think Trump was really hoping they were going to take the high route.
312
Manny: I think he tried to give Maduro enough room.
313
Chuck: to just be like.
314
Manny: But just, come on, come on, just, just give up.
315
Manny: Give up.
316
Jeezy: what happened when Maduro stood out there as we played at the beginning of this episode.
317
Jeezy: I was like, come on, don't take too long to get me, coward.
318
Manny: I'm here. All right. You talking about don't take too long? I'm already here. Hello? I'm in your living room.
319
Chuck: It won't…
320
Manny: No, you're out of chocolate milk.
321
Jeezy: Bruh.
322
Chuck: There were reports that, part of this was that Trump felt insulted, because…
323
Jeezy: What do you…
324
Chuck: was dancing.
325
Jeezy: All right.
326
Chuck: different events and different things, and…
327
Manny: See you cowards. We're out here having big fun.
328
Chuck: Oh, oh, oh, you, you dancing? You happy?
329
Jeezy: Look, and I see the video, he hit the Trump move, too.
330
Jeezy: Only one person hit the trunk.
331
Chuck: Don't hit the…
332
Jeezy: He hit the Trump, bruh. And when he hit the Trump, Trump said, yeah, you playing with me now.
333
Chuck: playing in my face.
334
Manny: Yes, sir.
335
Jeezy: Bro, they said that Trump was not having it, but I think that… You know, just…
336
Jeezy: The processing of this.
337
Jeezy: has been wild, because from a global perspective, I think everybody had at least a moment where everybody was like.
338
Jeezy: Brother, do you guys really just do this?
339
Manny: What?
340
Chuck: What's happened?
341
Manny: Number two, the way you…
342
Jeezy: When you talk about it, it seems like it's not that major, but it's like, brother, like, this is pretty…
343
Manny: This is pretty crazy. It's not like Venezuela, like, Venezuela's down.
344
Jeezy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it is not like they are a complete war-torn country.
345
Chuck: Correct.
346
Manny: Like, we went and…
347
Jeezy: Yeah, we went and picked him up.
348
Manny: The other night.
349
Jeezy: Trump said it. This kind of gets us into the press conference, because we're tiptoeing with some of the details that Trump said.
350
Jeezy: But… Trump said that when they went and got him, they turned out all the lights.
351
Manny: All the lights. Turn them off!
352
Jeezy: Venezuela went black.
353
Manny: Turn them off!
354
Jeezy: We got technology of things that we could do, and I seen online, there was a, Venezuelan, influencer, and he was, like, talking, and he was on his phone, like, like, FaceTime, you know, I guess, whatever, social media, live, or whatever, and, like, literally… Lights going out. Like, he's in the middle of the street, and it's dark, like, pitch black, and then you just see…
355
Jeezy: you know, the flashes from, you know, the bomb and all that stuff just going on. I was like, yeah, no, Tro ain't lying. They really, like, cut the.
356
Manny: Really?
357
Chuck: So, in my research, I told y'all I was in my bag.
358
Manny: This one. Right.
359
Chuck: there is reports that we have helicopters that can not only jam communications, but also interfere in… I don't want to say disconnect, but interfere with the power structure to turn the power off.
360
Chuck: So, those helicopters flew in, the jets, you know, shooting the missiles to bomb, and then…
361
Chuck: they were… they're saying that they flew a lot of the jets, because I think they said it was, like, 150…
362
Manny: 150? Hmm.
363
Chuck: different, aircraft. Wow. A lot of the jets were…
364
Chuck: to mask the sound of the helicopters coming in, which I believe… I would believe those were the helicopters
365
Chuck: who were interfering with communications, and as well as with the power to turn the lights out, on top of the ones that… because you don't need 150 to hit different space… hit different spots that they hit.
366
Chuck: You know, with the different military installations, like.
367
Chuck: The level of this is, as we said earlier.
368
Chuck: is immaculate. It's insane to think about what was used To execute this, this operation.
369
Manny: From a civilian standpoint.
370
Jeezy: Can you imagine…
371
Jeezy: It's that 1.30 in the morning, you're just getting up to go get something to drink from the fridge, you know, get that late night bathroom run, you hit that light switch, and nothing happens?
372
Manny: The…
373
Jeezy: And now you just hear…
374
Manny: in the world.
375
Jeezy: about, I don't even know… did they say, did they say how long the operation took to get them in, like, to get in, get out?
376
Chuck: No, but I'll look you up and see.
377
Jeezy: Okay, whatever time, you heard all that going on, and then next thing you know, you just hear, and the power come back on, you're like, oh, what happened? Oh, no, they just… U.S. just came and just got…
378
Manny: They just kidnapped the president.
379
Manny: Well, what?
380
Jeezy: Yo, wild. That gotta be a wild experience.
381
Manny: the U.S. really just be showing… to a degree, we'd really just be showing out sometimes, like…
382
Jeezy: As my grandma would say, you ain't gotta do all that. You ain't gotta do all that.
383
Manny: If there is one thing that you can believe, that I will bet on 1000% of the time.
384
Manny: It is when Donald Trump says something about the capabilities of the U.S. military. That shit is the truth, take that shit to the bank. In fact, you should probably assume 5 times as bad as that.
385
Jeezy: I wanna know who put the… I wanna know who put the plan together, because the execution…
386
Manny: was amazing.
387
Jeezy: I didn't think that there were people… you know, we talked about this confirmation, we talked about, you know, the people that he had in position. Clearly, somewhere behind the scenes, the right people are in the right place.
388
Chuck: Yes, for sure. So, from what I was able to find, the active assault and extraction phase lasted approximately two and a half hours, about 150 minutes.
389
Jeezy: Mmm. From start to finish. Hey, bruh.
390
Chuck: That was quicker than the Harry Potter movie.
391
Jeezy: Bruh, that's top tier.
392
Chuck: Top tier. You go in…
393
Jeezy: We've taken longer to execute a mission on Call of Duty.
394
Manny: Thanks.
395
Manny: Bruh.
396
Chuck: To go in… Cut the power, do everything you need to do, land… grab him, I'm pretty sure…
397
Manny: Yeah, but you… but at two and a half hours, oh, they didn't just grab him.
398
Chuck: Oh, no, no, no.
399
Manny: Hey, guys.
400
Chuck: Definitely not.
401
Manny: That place does.
402
Chuck: They wouldn't.
403
Manny: A single device left in it.
404
Chuck: Yeah, they went, they went through.
405
Jeezy: Oh, yeah.
406
Chuck: Insect was snatched up.
407
Jeezy: Oh, yeah.
408
Chuck: grabbed, and…
409
Jeezy: grab the plate.
410
Chuck: For sure. Yeah.
411
Jeezy: Let him get that Nike tick out the closet.
412
Chuck: Oh, no, that's true. They had that on the, on the plane, bruh.
413
Jeezy: And man, the disrespect. I've seen, I've seen criminals wear a lot, a lot, a lot worse.
414
Jeezy: who have been charged with far less. And he getting a Nike Ted?
415
Manny: he got a Nike tie. Look, man, just…
416
Chuck: Sex ain't cheap.
417
Jeezy: They ain't cheap. Me and Manny looked at the… we were looking at the prices.
418
Manny: The layoff.
419
Jeezy: Like, yo, he got fitted up like this?
420
Manny: Bruh.
421
Jeezy: They come over here? Oh, no, bruh.
422
Manny: Who was it, who was it that said that the,
423
Manny: it was Nike trying to fight back this whole new push for the quarter zips.
424
Jeezy: Right.
425
Manny: Put them in this.
426
Jeezy: I think you're missing out on a marketing opportunity, bruh.
427
Jeezy: I woulda, I woulda been on it, bro.
428
Manny: Bruh.
429
Jeezy: Somewhere you gotta spend this. Somewhere you gotta spend it.
430
Chuck: Good enough for me. And maybe…
431
Manny: And maybe how you spin it is not in the U.S. market.
432
Jeezy: Buh.
433
Chuck: Mmm!
434
Jeezy: Hey. Aha! Mmm.
435
Manny: Once again, Nike, our services are available.
436
Jeezy: Yes, just sayin'.
437
Manny: We just… We're just here, y'all. Come on. Yep.
438
Jeezy: But, getting to, Trump's press conference, So… for one.
439
Jeezy: I was driving back, home.
440
Jeezy: From Christmas Vacation. And I'm like, oh, perfect, you know, this'll be good to watch. It's coming on at 11 o'clock Eastern Standard Time, and I can put it on in the car and listen.
441
Jeezy: Trump took about 50 minutes.
442
Jeezy: Before he came out.
443
Jeezy: So.
444
Manny: It wasn't 50 minutes, it was about… it was about… it was about 35.
445
Chuck: That man was in the car on a drive with two little ones, as you should know, Manny.
446
Manny: You know what?
447
Manny: Nevermind.
448
Jeezy: I remember.
449
Manny: I digress.
450
Chuck: Look at that.
451
Jeezy: I felt like a… I felt like my eldest brother. I literally was sitting there, tapping my foot, because the car was on cruise control.
452
Chuck: I was tapping my foot.
453
Jeezy: Look, I was doing that Sonic the Hedgehog when you ain't playing the game yet.
454
Manny: controller can see me. Oh, yeah. I'm tapping that foot.
455
Jeezy: I'm like, yo, and I think I said it in the group, I'm like, maybe, or Manny, you might have said it, I'm like, maybe there's an extra development or something? Maybe, you know… No, he came out, and Trump, you know, goes and gets in his bag and starts talking.
456
Jeezy: And… you know, Trump talked about the competency of the military, and…
457
Jeezy: The first thing that he said right off the bat was this was probably the, greatest military execution since, what, World War II, I believe he said?
458
Manny: Bruh. And that's a hell of a jump.
459
Jeezy: Bruh, I sat there and said, 2026, let me carry the 5, but I was like, yo, that's…
460
Manny: That's fine!
461
Jeezy: Brother, like, that's a… that's a far… that's a lot of years, brother.
462
Manny: Like, like, we ain't doin' nothin'? We ain't nothin.
463
Jeezy: And since then, I was like, bruh, hold on, maybe…
464
Manny: I know I haven't seen something.
465
Chuck: You know, you definitely know he won't gonna give Obama credit for going… Obama.
466
Jeezy: Oh, bruh, you know that.
467
Jeezy: No, that won't about to happen.
468
Manny: I mean, I would've even… I would have even thought that he would have given credit to himself for one of his operations in the first time.
469
Jeezy: Yep.
470
Manny: I went all the way back there is… Crazy.
471
Jeezy: Well, I think that what I learned from that first line that he said, I should have known that that was setting the stage for what this press conference was gonna be, because he went on to talk for about an hour long, and…
472
Jeezy: Brother Mount?
473
Jeezy: They gotta… they gotta stop letting Trump speak.
474
Jeezy: Either that, or they have to tell… well, they can't tell him, because Trump gonna do whatever he want to do. I think he just gotta stop talking. He started giving the details, and I'm like, okay, he's reading, and when he… when he… you can always tell the chuck point when he get that bold word.
475
Jeezy: He says it, and then he looks up.
476
Manny: No kidding.
477
Jeezy: That head to the side a little bit.
478
Manny: Said, look for effect.
479
Jeezy: Bruh, he lets it go.
480
Manny: He just starts.
481
Jeezy: talking, and I'm like, at one point in the press conference, he started talking about
482
Jeezy: the Somalian people in Minnesota?
483
Jeezy: What do we get from.
484
Chuck: How'd I catch it?
485
Manny: How'd they catch a stray?
486
Jeezy: mean straight. Then he said something about Maduro was gonna be going from, from Venezuela up to New York. He said, but then maybe to Florida or Miami. I said, well, Miami is in Florida.
487
Manny: Bro, what are we talking about?
488
Chuck: Hold on, I gotta throw Trump some bail on this one.
489
Jeezy: They do…
490
Chuck: Miami, technically, is in Florida. But Miami is a whole… NTG.
491
Manny: Blue World. In itself.
492
Chuck: Holy world. That's real.
493
Jeezy: That's.
494
Chuck: Older world, huh?
495
Jeezy: But he, he got in just… for an hour, and I'm thinking, like…
496
Jeezy: Trump, you know, this is a moment, right?
497
Chuck: You've executed something that we can say was pretty flawless.
498
Jeezy: Keep it short and sweet.
499
Jeezy: You know, sing the praise, and let the experts talk.
500
Jeezy: He got up there for an hour just going crazy, and then he handed it off to…
501
Jeezy: To lap singing lary.
502
Jeezy: Bruh, Pete's headset, bruh, Jesus.
503
Jeezy: I ain't never heard a man just sing the praises of another man.
504
Manny: I mean, all the time.
505
Jeezy: God, like… Jesus! That's one's dignity.
506
Chuck: Wipe your chin!
507
Jeezy: God, dawg! I'm like, yo, he is… he is literally… I mean, they… and Trump just said, you know, he does that thing where he puts that nose up in there, he eating it all up. Trump is like, he love it. And I guess that's what Pete gotta do to keep a job, but we never.
508
Manny: I mean…
509
Jeezy: any true expert, they're talking to the… I believe the general got up there.
510
Manny: K, in general, yeah.
511
Chuck: Yeah, Kane?
512
Jeezy: I was like, finally, somebody to talk about this with some decency that I can understand, because all that other crap, I can't funnel through. I don't speak 5th grade English.
513
Manny: Not when it comes to complex military operations.
514
Jeezy: No, like, bruh, don't talk to me like we on an episode of Mari, like, bruh, look, talk for real.
515
Chuck: The test determines. Right.
516
Manny: My… my two favorite moments during this press conference…
517
Manny: was first, when Donald Trump is going through, he says, and we are going to be running Venezuela.
518
Manny: The way I looked over.
519
Jeezy: There you go.
520
Manny: at my wife, and clearly gave the… the John Avery Uncle Phil, we!
521
Chuck: Hold on, you gotta give the right emphasis on that, brother, though.
522
Chuck: You can't just say it in that fashion.
523
Jeezy: Bruh.
524
Chuck: When Trump speaks in such nature, you have to have the right vigor.
525
Manny: Okay.
526
Chuck: I got you, brother, I got you.
527
Manny: Chuck, did you, you click that sound button?
528
Chuck: I did not. Yeah, sorry guys.
529
Jeezy: on the plate.
530
Manny: Blag on a plate?
531
Chuck: Alright, so we gotta…
532
Manny: pause.
533
Jeezy: I'm like.
534
Chuck: Not how do you use,
535
Chuck: Y'all had to use Zoom after all these years, you know.
536
Chuck: Pardon me, pardon me.
537
Jeezy: Dude.
538
Chuck: I did it right this time, ladies and gentlemen.
539
Audio shared by Chuck: We're gonna… okay, I gotta run it back, hold on, run it back. Good ol' diamond.
540
Audio shared by Chuck: Promising to put the South American country under temporary U.S. control. So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious…
541
Audio shared by Chuck: Transition. The chief mood on that judicious. That was that big, that bold word.
542
Manny: Babe.
543
Jeezy: Dental shift. Judiciary.
544
Jeezy: Read your picture.
545
Manny: And then he looked up.
546
Jeezy: To your point, Manny, when he said that run, I'm like, what do you mean?
547
Chuck: Yeah, running America.
548
Manny: And if you…
549
Manny: If you look back at Marco Rubio, he does a real quick head turn, like, this is breaking news to him as well.
550
Jeezy: Yo.
551
Jeezy: Marco Rubio.
552
Manny: Hardest working man.
553
Jeezy: It is working man.
554
Manny: In the administration.
555
Jeezy: In the administration, because… Bro, how many job titles does this man have?
556
Jeezy: That he is working around the clock. We ain't seen him with his family in at least a year.
557
Manny: He's got at least 4. So he's the Secretary of State, he's the Acting National Security Advisor.
558
Manny: He's the Acting Administrator of USAID, he's the acting U.S. Archivist, and I guess as of this weekend, he is now the acting president of… I'm sorry.
559
Chuck: Thank you, Scott.
560
Manny: No, make me stop there.
561
Chuck: He's the acting czar.
562
Manny: Which is really bizarre.
563
Chuck: of economic, political, and human relations. We're making up a title for them, because…
564
Chuck: All Trump said was, this team made up of Marco Rubio and others will handle
565
Chuck: What are you talking about, bruh?
566
Chuck: Handle what?
567
Manny: Like…
568
Jeezy: And my thing is… what is… what was the purpose of you going to snagging? Because…
569
Jeezy: You say, you say it, they, they talk like.
570
Chuck: Oh, wow.
571
Jeezy: being…
572
Chuck: Hmm.
573
Jeezy: They talk like this. Well, no, no, no.
574
Manny: This is where you hit my second favorite moment of this entire press conference. Oh, right. And that's all…
575
Jeezy: Fair moment.
576
Manny: And that's when Trump just told us what he was there for. He was like, we're here for the oil.
577
Manny: We break…
578
Chuck: All the natural resources, the minerals.
579
Manny: We're coming for all of this.
580
Manny: Y'all can do what you want, but we're running this, we gonna get paid, y'all will get some benefit.
581
Jeezy: Look at y'all look something.
582
Manny: Look, they'll give out some of the same party splits that we got in college. They're like, hey, y'all gonna get 10%, we gonna take 90, that's after we cover costs.
583
Manny: And it's…
584
Chuck: That's a good old college party. Oh, y'all can get the door, but we don't get the bar.
585
Jeezy: on the ball.
586
Chuck: I mean, you got a paper.
587
Jeezy: money.
588
Chuck: And you gotta pay security, but you can have the door.
589
Manny: You can have the doors.
590
Jeezy: bruh, Venice went… the way he padded it up, it was so funny, because…
591
Jeezy: You know, one thing about Trump, Trump can't lie about for so long.
592
Manny: Bye.
593
Jeezy: He can't lie for me so long. He started out… he started out a smooth 5 minutes. You know, what he's done to the people of Venezuela is not right, and we're not gonna stand for it and let it happen, and they deserve better, and we want that oil and the natural resources.
594
Jeezy: We'll make sure that y'all are taken care of, but no, we, we won't.
595
Manny: We really want them all.
596
Jeezy: Good ribs.
597
Manny: coconut oil.
598
Chuck: They owe our oil companies money, and.
599
Manny: It's ours.
600
Chuck: It's ours. Bruh.
601
Jeezy: Me and Manny talked about it in the group. You know, we were talking, and I'm like, so how much oil does Venezuela really have?
602
Manny: A lot.
603
Jeezy: I looked at the chart, and I said, oh my god.
604
Jeezy: Old brother. Oh, my God.
605
Chuck: Yes, sir.
606
Jeezy: wild. They, they, I believe they are number one.
607
Manny: They are number one.
608
Chuck: They have the largest.
609
Manny: proven.
610
Manny: oil reserve.
611
Jeezy: And I think next to number.
612
Chuck: Sorry.
613
Jeezy: body, so…
614
Chuck: Saudi Arabia has about 50 million less, bear…
615
Chuck: 50 million barrels, or whatever, however they measure it, less. But here's the interesting thing about that. It's the type of oil they have.
616
Jeezy: Yeah.
617
Chuck: They have that… they don't have that sweet crew that we have off the coast of Texas and the Gulf.
618
Manny: They had that heavy cruise.
619
Jeezy: Yes, sir.
620
Manny: Which is what most of our refineries are built to handle, which is stupid, because why wouldn't you build to what you can readily get your hands on, instead of what is just cheap, because there's transport… never mind, never mind. I'm gonna let y'all cook. I'm gonna let them cook.
621
Chuck: You're being too logical, my brother.
622
Manny: Sorry, sorry, I'd do that.
623
Jeezy: Well, from what reports said,
624
Jeezy: even with the oil that Venezuela has, they have not, you know, done anything with the oil that they have nearly to the number or the extent of how much oil they have.
625
Jeezy: They have not, even taken care of, you know, the pipes in over 50, plus years. So the amount of money that will have to go into, doing this is… I believe it, I think I see a number 53 billion, it might have been, or something of that nature?
626
Manny: That's on, like, a low number? Yeah.
627
Chuck: I said, they don't care.
628
Manny: Put that back in the first year. Yeah.
629
Chuck: Like, I think Exxon, a couple years ago, had, like, $30 billion in pro- net profit.
630
Chuck: Not gross, net profit.
631
Chuck: And Venezuela is one of the founding members of OPEC.
632
Chuck: So, yeah.
633
Manny: They'll be fun. We'll spin that, yeah. They're tears, however.
634
Jeezy: Oh, crap.
635
Manny: There are rich people tears that I will cry from time to time. This is not a set of rich people tears that I will cry.
636
Chuck: No, sir. No, sir.
637
Jeezy: Bruh, but, you know…
638
Jeezy: To Manny's point, I'm glad that he was honest and said this is what this was for.
639
Jeezy: Because…
640
Chuck: We knew.
641
Jeezy: They tried to paint it up to say that, hey, you know, we're going in because he, you know, he had his indictment in New York in 2020 for being a narcoterrorism conspiracy.
642
Manny: And we're gonna bring him over, you know, for that, because he's a fugitive.
643
Jeezy: But that indictment had, like, what, 5 or 6 people? You just grabbed him and his wife. They didn't try to grab the son, no one else. And so it led them to say, okay, they're painting as if this was a law enforcement operation.
644
Jeezy: But… The oil is the key.
645
Chuck: And what's funny about that is, what was it, 2023, where he went on that rant about,
646
Chuck: Venezuela was on the verge of collapse.
647
Jeezy: Oh, yeah.
648
Chuck: president, now Biden has allowed them to, you know, revive a little bit, but had I still been in office, you know, they would have been completely collapsed, and we would have been able to go in and take over. It was about the oil then.
649
Jeezy: Bruh.
650
Chuck: So, you know, although…
651
Chuck: There are other things that, you know, could be said about this. It's oil amongst other things.
652
Manny: Cheesy.
653
Manny: If you wouldn't mind.
654
Chuck: Road a beer.
655
Audio shared by Jeezy: Beautiful bean fish.
656
Jeezy: Glenn, go ahead and get it out of the way.
657
Manny: Here we go.
658
Manny: So… I did some research as well.
659
Chuck: Okay. Do you know who is the largest buyer?
660
Manny: of Venezuelan oil.
661
Jeezy: Hmm…
662
Chuck: I'm gonna throw out there India.
663
Manny: It is not India.
664
Chuck: Okay.
665
Jeezy: Too easy, brother.
666
Manny: It's China.
667
Jeezy: Hmm…
668
Manny: Guys, welcome to my newest conspiracy theory about how these things are gonna get greasy over the next couple months.
669
Audio shared by Jeezy: Good morning.
670
Chuck: Double, double.
671
Audio shared by Jeezy: Daily Double.
672
Jeezy: Daily Dope.
673
Manny: So…
674
Manny: I fir- so, apparently what China gets from Venezuela equates to about 4-5% of what China gets, and its needs for oil.
675
Manny: That's… that's a lot. That's a lot of oil, and they were getting it from Venezuela at a discount.
676
Jeezy: Hmm.
677
Manny: to… to a point. Guys, you're just gonna have to follow me. We're going… we're going on a ride. We're going all these different places.
678
Jeezy: Let's do it.
679
Manny: To a point that Chuck said earlier, and I wanted to circle back on that.
680
Manny: is China.
681
Manny: has been utterly embarrassed by Donald Trump.
682
Manny: Again.
683
Manny: from the standpoint, now Trump has cut off some of his access to the natural resources, he's pushed out another, ally in the region, in Venezuela to a degree.
684
Manny: But… Again, when we talk about the tech level, Venezuela had a fair amount.
685
Manny: of Chinese tech, from my understanding, much in the same way that Iran did.
686
Jeezy: Oh, wow.
687
Manny: If that holds to be true.
688
Manny: Then this is the second time in, what, 6 months that we have just gone over
689
Manny: And really just stunned.
690
Manny: on Chinese tech.
691
Manny: Over to you, Chuck.
692
Chuck: Well, let's make this a, triple-double.
693
Manny: The triple-double? One for the head shrink.
694
Audio shared by Jeezy: Manny?
695
Chuck: I thought she was gonna steal my thunder.
696
Chuck: But you're on the right track, my brother.
697
Jeezy: V.
698
Manny: Okay.
699
Chuck: And that Chinese delegation meeting, yes, was about oil.
700
Chuck: But what is the next big thing coming in the world?
701
Manny: What is the…
702
Chuck: The… the issue that we're dealing with now
703
Chuck: And it hasn't blown majorly, but China has stopped their tech companies from buying chips from NVIDIA.
704
Manny: NVIDIA.
705
Jeezy: in development.
706
Chuck: developing their own.
707
Manny: The battle for Taiwan.
708
Chuck: And what people don't talk about, because it's not largely developed, is… the lithium reserves.
709
Chuck: that are in Venezuela.
710
Manny: And it is reported that.
711
Chuck: Venezuela's lithium reserves potentially rivals what they call the established lithium triangle of Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile.
712
Chuck: Which, they have almost 50%.
713
Manny: I was like, I thought it was…
714
Chuck: the world's… lithium reserves.
715
Chuck: So if Venezuela has a large amount, a vast amount of lithium that could rival that.
716
Manny: Hmm…
717
Chuck: Cluster oil.
718
Chuck: Because we're in the AI age. We're in the chip age, and part of that stopping or forbidding the companies to buy from NVIDIA is because if you have not tried to buy a computer here lately.
719
Chuck: Or you need one?
720
Chuck: Might want to hurry up.
721
Chuck: Because…
722
Manny: Them RAM prices going wild.
723
Chuck: are going crazy because RAM prices are going wild.
724
Chuck: And part of that is because of this chip manufacturing, and…
725
Chuck: A lot of these companies are moving to supply these AI
726
Chuck: companies pushing AI, so the more AI you need, the more memory capacity, RAM capacity you need.
727
Manny: They get… there's… there's more… there's… from my understanding, there's a higher financial return for producing AI chips than it is RAM chips. So, with all of these manufacturers just saying, hey, we're done, we're going over here to AI chips to make this money.
728
Manny: Now we're seeing a downfall.
729
Chuck: All of the companies are moving to the utilization of AI.
730
Chuck: There's… Forget… forget the big players. Forget the Walmarts, the Amazons. We know what they're gonna do with AI.
731
Chuck: And that's gonna be a…
732
Manny: Disaster. Well…
733
Chuck: I mean, that too.
734
Chuck: From a financial standpoint, it's gonna be a wealth of money.
735
Chuck: But there are smaller companies Utilizing AI so they don't get left behind.
736
Chuck: To put you in a little bit of my personal business on the work front.
737
Chuck: My company, I helped roll out one of our AI customer service platforms before our holiday season, and I've had a meeting with my owners who want to delve a bit deeper, so I've been put in… tasked and put in charge of
738
Chuck: refining our AI utilization.
739
Chuck: That's money.
740
Chuck: I was talking with my operations manager today, and we were trying to figure out how to cut costs, because it was gonna cost us almost $10,000 for one month
741
Chuck: of service.
742
Chuck: So, for a small business.
743
Chuck: If it's running us those numbers. To use a service, because it's not even our own proprietary.
744
Manny: Ray.
745
Chuck: technology. We're using a company service who…
746
Manny: They do this for people.
747
Chuck: They do this for many of small businesses.
748
Chuck: many a small business. So, yeah, that's my, hat trick on that. It's more than the oil, folks. And it's…
749
Jeezy: It's definitely not.
750
Chuck: about the people of Venezuela.
751
Chuck: Number one, Trump doesn't care about them.
752
Jeezy: Number… number two.
753
Chuck: Our track record of regime change is… Basuda.
754
Jeezy: Obviously.
755
Manny: Masura. Masura.
756
Chuck: Run the numbers, look at the history, It's trash.
757
Jeezy: Yep.
758
Manny: Hey, if at first you don't succeed.
759
Chuck: What's the definition of insanity?
760
Manny: I mean, I didn't say we were gonna get new tactics when we were gonna try to do this, but, like.
761
Chuck: But we got, we got new military technology, though.
762
Chuck: That's what we did have. That's what we did improve.
763
Manny: view.
764
Manny: And I think some of this is gonna be interesting watching it play out with the current…
765
Manny: Venezuelan government, who's now being run by the vice president, And…
766
Manny: How do you… how do you run a country after the U.S. has come out and said, hey, we run you guys?
767
Chuck: Well, see, to that, here's my thought.
768
Manny: nonprofit.
769
Chuck: on that, and… We heard what Trump said.
770
Chuck: If you don't… Work with us.
771
Manny: We got round two for you.
772
Chuck: Yeah, you don't get… you don't get it worse than he did.
773
Jeezy: But when he said that, I thought about, well, there is no open indictment on…
774
Jeezy: the vice president, who's now been sworn in as the president, so then what legality will you stand on to go do what you did to Maduro?
775
Chuck: Well, I was gonna save this as we go a little further and start talking about the, Maduro's arraignment today and entering his plea.
776
Chuck: Trump don't care about legality.
777
Manny: I was like, when does that matter, since… I mean, yeah.
778
Jeezy: He don't care.
779
Manny: Definitely.
780
Jeezy: I'm thinking in the realm of logic.
781
Chuck: Yeah, man, we're definitely… Here we go again. But to something, we, we briefly glossed over earlier, the legal nature of international law on this.
782
Jeezy: Yeah.
783
Chuck: We have… there are many of countries who are on the side of condemning this.
784
Chuck: And, of course, who we expected.
785
Chuck: China, Russia, you know. There's a bunch of others, I'm pretty sure, who have not spoken out as loudly and as largely in regards to condemning this, but there's many in the international circles saying that this was illegal.
786
Jeezy: Yeah.
787
Chuck: you took…
788
Manny: No.
789
Chuck: a sovereign leader, regard… some recognize…
790
Jeezy: Do you recognize?
791
Chuck: No, I'm not.
792
Chuck: He was the sovereign leader went in, violating UN treaty, because…
793
Chuck: you were not at war, you did not have a UN resolution, and you definitely didn't have permission.
794
Chuck: So, how you gonna just go in? Like, that's you walking in my house.
795
Chuck: Come take me and my wife out.
796
Chuck: And… and… you ain't… you ain't got no warrant, no warrant.
797
Chuck: No, you just…
798
Jeezy: Don't…
799
Chuck: No, no, I'm just walking you out. I'mma pop up on your block and take it over. What?
800
Jeezy: They even asked, like, you know, why didn't you…
801
Jeezy: you know, go to Congress about this. And Trump just like… but they leaked them, we can't.
802
Manny: Like… Can't wait for that.
803
Jeezy: But isn't that what you supposedly?
804
Chuck: Hmm.
805
Jeezy: They talk too much.
806
Chuck: Technicalities.
807
Manny: Right.
808
Jeezy: Yeah.
809
Manny: It's… we're very much ready, fire, aim.
810
Chuck: You know, what's interesting to me in this
811
Chuck: And it's not being talked about as much.
812
Chuck: You had FBI and DEA agents arrest him.
813
Chuck: It wasn't the military who went in and cuffed her, it was FBI and DEA agents
814
Chuck: Who, after they did everything clear, it was those 8 federal agents who went in, arrested them. If you look at the pictures, those were DEA agents in there.
815
Manny: And you know, okay, and then that… so now that makes a whole lot of this make sense.
816
Manny: And Y… YG, something I said earlier, is now not going to…
817
Manny: to play. So, because these charges, and I guess we're… we're talk…
818
Chuck: We can head that direction.
819
Manny: Yeah, are we heading to the case? Yeah. So…
820
Manny: One of the arguments that was floating around that they thought he was going to use is that
821
Manny: you know, we're here in New York in a civilian court.
822
Jeezy: But…
823
Manny: I was not arrested by police, I was arrested by the military.
824
Manny: But if that's true, then he was arrested by the FBI, which is technically civilian in this case. Because the full play out of that was that, oh, because I was arrested by the military, this is not… this is a military affair, this is not a civilian affair, and since it's a military affair.
825
Manny: I'm the president of a country
826
Manny: And I have immunity. Yep. So that now makes sense. The combination of…
827
Manny: that statement, with the FBI being the ones who actually put cuffs on them.
828
Manny: Also, with the change in tone, and how the… we've seen the officials start to refer to Maduro, never really calling him president anymore.
829
Jeezy: It's.
830
Manny: Oh, he was… he was a guy.
831
Jeezy: Makes sense. While he was there on his first appearance today, he kept making it a notion.
832
Chuck: Yes.
833
Jeezy: state that I am the president of Yemen.
834
Manny: Venezuela. Yeah.
835
Chuck: into that, and I told you I got it in my bag, so…
836
Chuck: The U.S. The last time the U.S. recognized him as the president of Venezuela was in 2013.
837
Manny: When he came to power?
838
Chuck: He first was 11.
839
Manny: Yeah.
840
Chuck: In 2019, the Trump administration, Trump won, did not recognize him.
841
Chuck: And that continued with the Biden administration not recognizing him as the president because they felt…
842
Chuck: the irony in this, particularly for the Trump administration, that his election was fraudulent, and his win.
843
Manny: What?
844
Chuck: fraudulent.
845
Manny: Hey, hey.
846
Chuck: But it takes one to know one.
847
Manny: Yep, I'm about to say… Sometimes you need experts, man.
848
Chuck: So, so in that,
849
Chuck: that's part of their argument, and to your point, Gene and Manny, his counterpoint is, I'm a sovereign leader. I have sovereign leader immunity. And…
850
Chuck: I was reading up on this through the New York Times, and this guy named… I want to say it's Charlie Savage, or Chuck Savage, and he was talking about how people are gonna start trying to draw the comparison to…
851
Chuck: the arrest and capture of General Manuel Noriega. Back in 89 in Panama.
852
Chuck: Slight difference, though.
853
Chuck: The Constitution of Panama called for… a president.
854
Chuck: Noriega was not recognized as the president. He was a general who was calling shots via a coup. There was actually a sitting president.
855
Chuck: Although, they say that he fraudulently was president because Noriega
856
Chuck: And his henchmen beat up the person who really was.
857
Manny: You're totally okay.
858
Chuck: Hey, don't show up here, or else.
859
Jeezy: Right.
860
Chuck: And so they didn't show up. But then, when the U.S. went in and captured him.
861
Chuck: They immediately swore in the guy who they wanted.
862
Chuck: as president of Panama. But the drastic difference is… We have a military base.
863
Chuck: and had a military base in Panama. I hear the stories all the time from my uncle, how he served, and was stationed in Panama in the early 80s. So… and we… and I hate this phrase, but I have to say it. We had boots on the ground, and…
864
Jeezy: Yes.
865
Chuck: Those trail rides have made me hate that phrase. Right. But we… and that was a longer operation to get him.
866
Chuck: In that fashion.
867
Chuck: In this one, although we may not have recognized him as president, the country operated as Maduro as president.
868
Manny: Yep. He was recognized.
869
Chuck: in Venezuela, As president.
870
Chuck: So regardless of what you may have felt about it, or thought about it.
871
Jeezy: Yep.
872
Chuck: the people and the Constitution of that country I'm a radio.
873
Jeezy: such.
874
Chuck: acknowledged him as such. So, it's gonna be a shaky ground. What's interesting to me is this is not gonna be a quick process.
875
Jeezy: Oh, bruh, no.
876
Manny: When they said that they weren't going to be back in court until March, I said, oh.
877
Manny: Oh, no.
878
Chuck: Forget that, just the overall arcing nature, but whoever…
879
Chuck: Whoever he hires and gets as his lawyers, they're gonna throw challenge after challenge.
880
Jeezy: I am.
881
Chuck: That's a challenge. This is gonna run up to the Supreme Court.
882
Jeezy: Oh, yeah, well, cause they've got… It's gonna be a mess, because you even think about not even… just Discovery.
883
Manny: The amount of… Facts. Bruh. The amount of discovery… The amount of discovery…
884
Jeezy: You gotta go through nasty. It's wild, like… Yes.
885
Jeezy: Brad.
886
Chuck: And I also,
887
Chuck: found out that, I think you mentioned earlier about the first indictment, and that was in 2020. There was a second indictment done.
888
Chuck: what they call a superseding indictment that was altered just a bit to include his wife, because his wife was not included in the first one.
889
Jeezy: Oh, okay.
890
Chuck: But there were a few people who were captured, who were part of that first indictment.
891
Chuck: In 2023, and one last year, and they took plea deals.
892
Jeezy: Got some tunes.
893
Chuck: Got some…
894
Jeezy: Ycl.
895
Manny: Slack.
896
Jeezy: It's lick.
897
Chuck: So, those individuals will play a major factor in this?
898
Chuck: as well, I believe, because, you know, with the indictment, it states how, you know, he was the… they tried to make it… position him as the head of a cartel.
899
Jeezy: Yeah. And in conjunction with a group out of Columbia.
900
Chuck: But what's baffling to me is… This is not gonna stop.
901
Chuck: drug trafficking.
902
Manny: It's not. And I think… and I think that's why they gave up the pre…
903
Manny: I think that's why they might have given up the president's name, because they're like, what are the chances they're gonna go arrest the president? But if I give up a cartel.
904
Manny: person's name. Oh, they're gonna go find him, so…
905
Chuck: Yeah, and they say his wife took bribes, so that's where it took bribes to…
906
Chuck: And they seized, I want to say their…
907
Manny: counts.
908
Chuck: Well, no, they seized, truckloads of narcotics.
909
Chuck: in Mexico and in Paris that is being linked to Maduro.
910
Chuck: Like, this, like you said, the discovery and all of this… Wow. If the indictment paperwork
911
Chuck: I think, if I'm not mistaken, they said it was 30 pages.
912
Jeezy: 25.
913
Chuck: A lot.
914
Jeezy: Yeah.
915
Chuck: A whole, a whole heap.
916
Manny: Yeah, paperwork.
917
Chuck: They gotta go through, they're gonna, you know, look through, contest… challenge…
918
Chuck: I'm gonna say the morbid part of this. Trump may not even be alive when this is resolved.
919
Manny: Yeah?
920
Manny: The judge might not be alive. Also true.
921
Manny: Also very much true. We are, we are fighting…
922
Jeezy: Either way, 92, I think it was?
923
Manny: Bruh.
924
Chuck: Why are you on the bench still?
925
Manny: Why are you on the bench?
926
Jeezy: He taking a light, workload or something, you darn right he is!
927
Manny: It's… it's… that's gotta be it. They were like, you know what, you're just gonna do this one case.
928
Chuck: He's just doing arraignments. If he's only doing arraignments, then he doesn't… he's not hearing cases, but still…
929
Jeezy: He can't hear no cases, bruh. He literally can't the equivalent of you going to court.
930
Chuck: Nanny, nanny.
931
Jeezy: Outside of having a public defender.
932
Jeezy: The next worst thing might be to get up there in that courthouse and see a judge that old sitting there, because you know good and well, he's still looking at you like it's 1930. Like, it ain't a change.
933
Chuck: The good ol' boy.
934
Jeezy: Right.
935
Chuck: So bad.
936
Jeezy: back, but…
937
Manny: You know…
938
Jeezy: He made his first appearance, and again, he was very adamant that he was innocent, he was…
939
Jeezy: He was not, the man that they were paying him to be. He sat, I believe there was a chair, between him and his wife. They were able to, you know, read over the things, their indictments and, lawyers and what have you, but the thing that was funny to me… well, I'm not gonna say funny.
940
Jeezy: I thought was interesting, is…
941
Jeezy: It seemed, from what they were reporting inside the courthouse, Maduro seemed to be of…
942
Jeezy: physical, he wasn't harmed, physically. But his wife, I was wondering, why in the world did they beat her up?
943
Jeezy: so bad that they said that she actually needed medical attention, and I believe they said once they had got, on the tarmac and got them to the boat.
944
Jeezy: That they actually took a while medically to examine her because she was having some issues.
945
Manny: Mmm. So…
946
Jeezy: You know, what…
947
Manny: And that's the last thing they… that's the second-to-last thing that they want to happen in all this.
948
Jeezy: Bruh, cause what… because they talked about it at the first appearance.
949
Jeezy: What evaluation and what medical attention does she need?
950
Jeezy: And is it just off of her condition already, or is it what was sustained when they went in and captured her and her husband? But I thought also for him to be, you know, pointing out that he is a president of a sovereign nation and she is the first lady, how is that medical attention going to be handled?
951
Manny: I would assume that everything is going to be done… super above board.
952
Chuck: They're gonna treat her regular, bro.
953
Jeezy: I think they gon' trigger.
954
Chuck: Because if they show any preferential treatment.
955
Jeezy: Yep.
956
Chuck: Based off the standard of a dignitary or someone of…
957
Chuck: what they call, I can't… I've never been to jail, y'all, but I know some terms, but…
958
Jeezy: They're special… special individuals. Yeah.
959
Chuck: That's another piece of the argument for their lawyers.
960
Jeezy: Yep.
961
Chuck: Like, there… getting this special treatment. Like, you need to get the same medical care.
962
Jeezy: Nick.
963
Manny: Everyone else.
964
Chuck: inmate is gonna receive. Now, yes…
965
Jeezy: If you acknowledge that from her, then what are you acknowledging as far as what Maduro stated?
966
Chuck: She's attached to… she's attached to him.
967
Jeezy: Bingo.
968
Chuck: For her to be… be the first lady, she… and she's married to him, what does that make her… make him…
969
Jeezy: Got it.
970
Manny: So…
971
Chuck: You know, they… now, they are required to provide medical attention. They are required to tend to her wounds and her injuries.
972
Manny: But if they give her.
973
Chuck: Upper Echelon treatment.
974
Manny: It's gonna hurt him.
975
Chuck: It's no hurdle.
976
Jeezy: And they did… I did hear that they were talking about, as far as…
977
Manny: as they…
978
Jeezy: prosecution, that they have to be very delicate with how they handle this, because they could fall into some of those pitfalls if they're not careful, especially, I think, when they were talking about, the handling of his notes. You know, the notes that he has, and, depending on how they handle it and the access that he's granted to his notes and his legal counsel, if they're not careful handling it, it could cause them a pitfall in the case that they're building.
979
Jeezy: Against Maduro. So, you know, this is going to be a very long process.
980
Manny: And he doesn't have, at least at this point, based on what we know, I think he has the same lawyer as Julian Assange. Like, he doesn't have a pushover lawyer.
981
Jeezy: Yeah.
982
Manny: So…
983
Jeezy: He need to get Brian Steele.
984
Chuck: For…
985
Jeezy: Brian Steele, bruh.
986
Chuck: Right, fine.
987
Manny: Brian's still definitely 2 for 2 against the Fed.
988
Chuck: 2 for 2? Well, not really two for two for his, he's, like, one and one.
989
Manny: One and… one and one and a half. One and a half.
990
Chuck: Around the corner. Yeah.
991
Jeezy: I don't know if y'all heard, Trump was talking about his wars, and he was like, you know, I've ended 8 and a quarter.
992
Manny: And…
993
Chuck: forever.
994
Jeezy: I gotta find a quit playing degree.
995
Jeezy: Yeah, he explained that quarter.
996
Chuck: He talking about wars between him and Melania and Baron. That's what he's talking about.
997
Jeezy: He was sitting there at bath time playing with them little green soldiers on the edge of the tub.
998
Manny: Get his sponge bad. Stop fighting, guys!
999
Jeezy: Trump said he think he's Oron.
1000
Chuck: Bruh.
1001
Chuck: What's interesting is, and we have to speak on her as this is her last day in Congress.
1002
Chuck: MTG.
1003
Jeezy: I don't know if it gets mad.
1004
Chuck: but she spoke out today, and it was on…
1005
Chuck: On the television, of course, here in Georgia, and she, definitely talked about,
1006
Chuck: But made the emphasis a point of…
1007
Chuck: Trump's… and I told y'all last episode, he's a liar. We know that.
1008
Chuck: easily.
1009
Chuck: Some people call it a salesman, I'm gonna call you a liar. But he talked about and campaigned on less wars and less regime change, and…
1010
Chuck: A point that we have not talked about as of yet is…
1011
Chuck: How much money is this gonna cost?
1012
Chuck: Because this operation in itself was expensive.
1013
Manny: Oh.
1014
Jeezy: Yeah.
1015
Manny: Oh, I already know the answer to that.
1016
Chuck: Go ahead.
1017
Manny: Hela.
1018
Chuck: And he's gonna… a lot of people would tell them that it's gonna get paid for by this oil money, the same way that the…
1019
Chuck: National debt is gonna go down off this tariff money, and y'all gonna get this $2,000 check as well, as a dividend check.
1020
Jeezy: Oh, that whole Supreme Court ruling in his favor about them tariffs, though. It's really gonna get sticky.
1021
Manny: Again, there is a reason why we don't have free healthcare in the United States. It's cause… it's cause our military do what it do.
1022
Jeezy: It is our favorite pastime.
1023
Manny: And I think that's the… that's another, like, strange complexity of all this, is, like.
1024
Manny: I think first, going back to what you said earlier, I think first geez, all these countries are just like, did the U.S. really do this?
1025
Manny: But then you have to think.
1026
Manny: The countries that thought it, that I think thought this, are Russia, China, France?
1027
Manny: India.
1028
Manny: Saudi Arabia, And I'm gonna just say, one more random European country.
1029
Manny: Who's gonna stop the US?
1030
Chuck: First off, before we answer that, I'm sick of friends.
1031
Chuck: I am sick.
1032
Chuck: Kick and tired of France. France is that old dude that talks about what he used to do and what he used to be back in the day. France ain't did nothin', ain't about nothing.
1033
Jeezy: He made.
1034
Chuck: I'm sorry.
1035
Jeezy: Shout out our listeners and friends.
1036
Chuck: Yeah, shout out to the listeners, I'm talking about the government. It ain't personal. The government, yeah, the government.
1037
Chuck: Like them blue and white governments.
1038
Jeezy: Yep.
1039
Jeezy: But, you know, this is gonna be interesting how this is handled, and I think that…
1040
Jeezy: from what we can see, you know, there has been mixed reviews. I think as the recording, time of this recording, I believe that,
1041
Jeezy: Congress is starting to get, or at least top leadership in Congress is starting to get some briefing.
1042
Jeezy: On the details.
1043
Chuck: Republicans.
1044
Jeezy: Oh, they just… okay.
1045
Manny: Oh, no, Schumer came out and said that he left with more questions than answers.
1046
Chuck: Yeah, Schumer… well, we… we… Schumer is a question.
1047
Manny: himself, but…
1048
Jeezy: He got one foot in, one foot out in.
1049
Chuck: But, no, there's continuous statements and reports from Dems in Congress who, first and foremost, were left out in the dark about this, number one.
1050
Chuck: And like you said, Trump said, no, they talk too much. But also, as things were transpiring and news was starting to roll out, there was more communication with Republican, Congress members.
1051
Chuck: then Dems, and Dems are like, hey, we still need to know about what's going on, you know, we work here too.
1052
Chuck: And Trump and him is like, you work here, but you ain't down with the crew, so…
1053
Manny: You get what we want to say. He said, I'm gonna tell my work friends first. Right.
1054
Chuck: Exactly.
1055
Manny: And then I'll let you know. You'll find out at the meeting.
1056
Chuck: Hey, Jeezy, the boss mad today, so, you know, I'mma let you know first, and then let everybody else find out in the meantime.
1057
Manny: Find out one day on my hands feeding. Y'all find out.
1058
Jeezy: Find out later. But, you know…
1059
Jeezy: the response to this, and I think, Chuck, you hit on it, too, is from an international perspective, a global perspective, there has been mixed reviews, globally about what the U.S. has done, but also, you know, here at home, you know, there has… I believe there was some polls that came out that said, I think 42% of people believe that
1060
Jeezy: This was the right thing to do, that the U.S. did. 48% thought that it was not. And even more, people were confused of what it means, and there's still no clarity in this.
1061
Jeezy: We talked about it earlier, what does Trump mean that we're going to run Venezuela? What does that mean?
1062
Manny: And I don't think anyone knows. I don't think Venezuela knows, I don't think Trump knows. The person who needs to know is Marco Rubio, and I think he's the one that's tasked with figuring out what's getting ready to happen.
1063
Jeezy: then how is this Operation Absolute Resolve?
1064
Manny: Because they will absolutely…
1065
Chuck: That's what you did there!
1066
Manny: They will ask…
1067
Jeezy: Fool.
1068
Manny: resolve this at some point.
1069
Jeezy: And I'm…
1070
Manny: in the future, that is not today. This is a TBD?
1071
Chuck: Yes.
1072
Chuck: But I… and I think, truly, what they will do is…
1073
Chuck: Bully old girl, because Trump's little homie thought she… Trump's little homie thought she was in there.
1074
Chuck: Oh, they picked up a dura.
1075
Manny: Today.
1076
Chuck: I gave him… I gave him love, I said he could have my Nobel Peace Prize. Oh, I'm in there. Charles said, oh, no, she ain't got the credentials, she ain't got the credibility. They don't love her.
1077
Manny: I don't even think it's the credibility. I think it was one of those, she still got the award for me.
1078
Chuck: Oh, of course, but I'm just saying, when he was like, oh, they don't love her in the streets, like.
1079
Manny: Oh, that's… He been on the… he been in the streets?
1080
Manny: We said it clear, Trump got street cred, man.
1081
Chuck: Oh, they don't respect her enough in Venezuela.
1082
Jeezy: Bruh, huh.
1083
Chuck: What!
1084
Jeezy: Yeah, you know Trump.
1085
Manny: Cause he know, man. He know.
1086
Manny: He runs the Western Hemisphere, he be known.
1087
Chuck: It's my… it's my ish, and I run it.
1088
Jeezy: Well, you know, at any rate, this is going to definitely…
1089
Jeezy: Continue to pile up and be interesting how this ha- how this goes forward, and when this gets handled, because there is so much that is,
1090
Jeezy: So many layers to this that have to be peeled back.
1091
Jeezy: And how the U.S. responds, what this court proceeding will look like. I mean, there's just so much that's going on, and for this to be…
1092
Jeezy: The first week of 2026. I hope this is no indication of what the.
1093
Manny: Aye.
1094
Jeezy: like.
1095
Jeezy: But… Bruh, I…
1096
Manny: And listeners, look, look, this was big enough of an event where we would have come back and done a special episode had this happened in the middle of the week.
1097
Jeezy: Yep.
1098
Manny: But it was New Year's, and we were still on vacation, and like… It was 47 hours, like…
1099
Manny: We took to… we took Monday off.
1100
Manny: So we could see everything play out from the trial for all this. Yep.
1101
Jeezy: Yep.
1102
Manny: Because I think, even now, no one…
1103
Manny: Really exactly knows what's going to happen.
1104
Chuck: the shaman.
1105
Manny: Yeah.
1106
Chuck: When you saw me.
1107
Manny: Forgot about the Peruvian, Sean.
1108
Manny: Apparently, next up is, Trump getting gravely ill, if I remember.
1109
Chuck: That's next on their vision board before 2026.
1110
Chuck: Hey, bro, the jokers before 2026 rolled in, they said.
1111
Chuck: The girl was out of there, and Trump was gonna get gravely ill.
1112
Jeezy: I mean…
1113
Chuck: I mean…
1114
Jeezy: He is getting grayscale on his hands, so…
1115
Manny: forever.
1116
Jeezy: And he's been leaning forward a lot more than usual.
1117
Chuck: And at that presser, he sounded like he had some cold in his chest.
1118
Jeezy: Look, and a couple of times, he was looking… that face was looking a little slumped back there while they were talking. But how you do the most talking at a press conference, and then you stand back there and want to be tired? We sit here because you took so long to talk. This could have been a 35-minute press conference had you shut up 45 minutes ago.
1119
Manny: Right.
1120
Chuck: He gotta be active in talking to stay awake, that's what it is.
1121
Jeezy: It's on the dame, brother.
1122
Chuck: As soon as it gets still, no matter if it's standing or sitting, That battery starts dropping.
1123
Jeezy: We all know, at a certain age, man, you get still long enough.
1124
Chuck: Just be alone.
1125
Jeezy: It's over.
1126
Chuck: It's a rap. It's a rap. I was about to talk about my girl, but I ain't do that.
1127
Jeezy: Well, I think at any rate, we're gonna be talking about this for…
1128
Jeezy: Quite some time over different, episodes within Season 3. But I do want to say we… this is… this is our topic for this episode, but I will say for a pickle.
1129
Audio shared by Jeezy: We got your pickle!
1130
Jeezy: Keep it short.
1131
Manny: God! Good day, gee!

1143

Jeezy: No, you won't.
1145
Manny: A whole lot, and a whole lot closer.
1146
Jeezy: You're a whole lot closer.
1147
Jeezy: Oh, hey, better be quiet.
1148
Manny: Bruh, we don't… we don't even have to… we don't even have to realign resources.
1149

1155
Jeezy: We're gonna pick all y'all up. But Cuba, I ain't gonna say too much about you being a pickle, but just, just, hey, just chill out.
1156
Manny: Hey. Hey.
1157

1164
Manny: Bro, we're not gonna be able to go anywhere.
1165
Jeezy: I've seen somebody that was… I can't remember which country they were from, but they said, I never understand why Americans like to travel internationally, because the United States is so big, there's… you can go to different parts of it and feel like you're in different parts of the country, and I was like, yeah, no. But now I think I'm gonna have to start telling myself that lie.
1166

1175
Jeezy: Dude, the temperature getting too hot out in the streets, man.
1176
Manny: Mmm.
1177
Jeezy: Maybe this is what Trump wants. Maybe this is the making of America first. We just stay in America.
1178
Chuck: Make America First.
1179
Manny: was viewed.
1180
Chuck: First and only place you can go to. And you… did you… before we… I know we about to get out of here, but did you see…
