Emilio Figueredo and Freddy Guevara understand better than any western analyst the Venezuelan reality, the regime of dictator Nicolas Maduro, and the aftermath of his capture by President Donald Trump. Figueredo, editor of independent Venezuelan news outlet Analitica, talks to Brian from Caracas and explains what it’s like there now, why Maduro was foiled by his reliance on Cuba, and why Trump needed to leave the Bolivarian regime in power — for now. Guevara, an exiled opposition politician once imprisoned by Maduro, tells Brian about support among Venezuelans for the military operation and why foreign complaints about Trump violating international law carry little weight there. Both describe Venezuelans’ hopes as higher than they’ve been in a long time, although freedom hasn’t come yet. (Recorded January 8, 2026)
Say what!? Are you telling me that the MSM here in Canada isn't telling the truth? They're just spinning a narrative to help the Liberal party of Canada?? Huh, weeeiiird.
Brian go listen @Statestop Canada on UTube. 26,000 builders and trades people lost their jobs, to the new prefab company in Vancouver, owned by Brookfield. There are 26,000 empty condos in ON, where many lost their deposit or the value went down so much , banks won’t lend to them. These prefabs will all be rentals and who gets all the money for the permits etc. The government. So ON lost 26,000 trades jobs for prefabs built in Vancouver, sure it’s just a coincidence right
