From the transcript
On Saturday, the 3rd of January, American Special Forces swooped into crackers captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and evacuated him on the USS Iwo Jima, one of the US warships that's been prowling the waters off of Venezuela's coast.
An image of Maduro on the ship would soon emerge before the White House shared a video of the former President being per ped warped into the officers of the Drug Enforcement Administration in New York, where he will stand trial on a host of charges including narco terrorism. Now, most people aren't already familiar with this part of the story.
It is the biggest news item of 2026, so far, probably going to be one of the biggest news items of 2026 at the end of the year as well. And it forced our team to come into the office on a holiday weekend. Now, what most people are still trying to figure out is who's going to fill the leadership vacuum left in the wake of Maduro's absence.
