From the transcript
On Saturday the January this year, the American government did something that almost no one saw coming except for a few insiders. Trading on Polymarket, a force to send it on the Venezuelan capital of Caracas.

For American president Donald Trump, this was a major victory both personally and politically. On a personal level, he got to remove a leader who he hasn't liked since his first term in office, a leader who had spent part of the last few weeks of 2025, trying to copy Trump's dance in an attempt to troll the American president.
