The War on Christmas Caracas

Adam and Rich dive into the latest series of events in the escalating Venezuela situation; SecDef Hegseth's "double tap" on boat strike survivors, Trump's failed offramp for Maduro turns into an airspace closure, and the pardoning of convicted drug trafficker, former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, while accusing Maduro of the same.

And when one door closes another opens. We analyze the proposed Russia-Ukraine peace plan, written by and for US billionaires and Russian Oligarchs to their exclusive benefit, and how it plays into Putin's goals to undermine NATO.

Also, Trump's consistent pardoning and commuting of sentences for white collar criminals and drug traffickers (and pretty much no one else).
