David & Matt are back, for the safety of the nation, Chuck Schumer must resign. Then we are joined by Jose Luis Granados Ceja of  @SoberaniaPodcast  to talk about the US kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro, what it means for Venezuela, Mexico, and the US.

Then Nick Estes, historian, author, and co-host of the  @TheRedNation  answers the question: Is the Venezuela invasion an Indian War?
