Topic: Mafia State

Patrick Byrne discusses the "mafia state" nature of the Venezuelan government, where 3,000 elites were trapped by their own corruption. He confirms that the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) had to "schwak" Maduro's Cuban retinue to complete the extraction. The capture is expected to unlock evidence regarding Smartmatic election software that has been suppressed by judicial orders in the U.S.

Byrne describes the current state of the "Deep State" as a mafia-like network that is breaking down under pressure, with individuals now "rolling" to save themselves. He mentions allegations that Michelle Obama used an "auto-pen" to sign pardons during the final days of the Biden administration. Jones and Byrne discuss the visible fear in Barack Obama's recent public appearances as his "house of cards" begins to collapse.

The discussion explores the possibility that Charlie Kirk was targeted by the "Deep State" because of his effective ground game during the 2020 election. A caller suggests that Kirk's ability to mobilize voters in swing states made him a threat to those who prefer "puppet candidates." Geiser compares the Kirk case to the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, noting that while the Kirk case seems more "cut and dry," the political motives for a hit are clear.
