• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Venezuela, obviously, everybody already knows what's going on with Venice
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Will at this point in time. I actually had a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: court hearing today for the ousted president and he pleaded
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: not guilty in New York's in New York Southern District's
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: federal court. That got them in MCC. I believe Brooklyn.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Is it Brooklyn or Manhattan?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: They have in Brooklyn.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: They put them in a helicopter, went to Manhattan for
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: the court, and then I think they brought them back
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: to Brooklyn.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: In Brooklyn, Okay, yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I thought it was MGC mahind correctional but regardless of
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: anything interesting times that way, and to say the least.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I did make a video about this, So if you're
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: interested in the whole geopolitical thing, you can check Instagram.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: But you know, one of the major questions is how
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: can and I hate that this is actually the one
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: of these things, but it's a real thing. People want
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: to know how they can make money in the situation.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't be, but it is. It is, and it's
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: the world that we live in, and it's the world
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: that will always it's the world that will always well.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: But if they had listened to so we talked about
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: this on Market Mondays before this happened. You gave a
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: whole breakdown of what could happen. Kudos to Bloomberg and
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: Nicole and Shelley. We talked about in the stock club
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: probably two three months ago. The obvious players here are
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: writing down slumber, Jay, Chevron and Exi on mobile.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Great. That's that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: The part that people should be asking is how long
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: will this trade be revelent Given the circumstances of what
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: they're facing. Nobody will care about this oior trade in
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: three months. It's a good move for today. It's the
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: first official trading day of the year in terms of
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: volume wise, makes a great story because of what Trump
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: is doing. Now we can get into the nefarious part
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: of well, let's do it if a country books have
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: not been properly managed, Troy, going back to that, watch
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: the paper every morning, right, wouldn't it be who of
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: you to maybe ascertain some oil so that the petro
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: dollar trade stays afloat while the dollar is being devalued,
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: and on top of that, potentially go snatch six hundred
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: thousand bitcoins from the government and silver. Now we see
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: why that silver trade panned out so well prior to
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: the new year.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Don't forget the gold trade.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: In combination gold and gold was up today, and that's
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: also another benefactor of the situation. So I definitely think
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: that Yeah, like you said, that was one of the questions,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: how long is it's gonna last? Because I mean, it
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: does make up I think, like less than one percent
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: of the world's oils. But a major part of that
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: is because they haven't been able to refine their oils efficiently.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: And their oil is a lot thicker than inside Arabia,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: so it takes more it takes more efficiency to refine
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: the oil. So a lot of that, a lot of
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the reasons why they haven't, and they have sanctions obviously
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: as well. So you lift the sanctions, you get more
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: refined oil, and you can start to see some level
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: of changing. Now, Saudi Arabia already said that they could
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: potentially strike back on this situation if if it goes
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: against the him, but it's interested from a geopolitical standpoint,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: because okay, okay, before we get to that, So investments Chevron, yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: x Exon Mobile Conco.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Uh, the E T F x L E Yep, we
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: were on that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I T A is another one. Halliburton for sure, uh yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Tertiary Yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: And Slumbers yeah, Slumbered Sumber, Slumberbers ye, Baker Hughes.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think it was well documented. I think every
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: sixty six. Yeah, it's it's well documented, right, Like I
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: think Ian, what you did you touched on?
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Is that the real story.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: It's it's the U see the oil.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: We're talking three billion barrels, right, you trade that for
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: petroleum dollars, which is US currency, and now you force
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the rest of the world to use that currency to
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: get the oil.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Right. And I'm not saying he was a great leader,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: not now to cut you off.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're not here to discuss that but.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: The parallels between the Hussein and Gaddafi issue here.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: But it's actually not the same though, because if you
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: look at it, like I said, from a geopolitical standpoint,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the interesting thing about it, which is kind of a
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: curveball to some people, is that, Okay, classic regime change,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: you take the you take the president, you know, you
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: take the resources, you put a new regime in place.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: But they haven't they haven't hinted that they wanted to
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: do that because there is a there is an opposition
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: that allegedly won the election. She's in exile right now.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: She actually won the Nobel Peace Prize, and she gave
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: her Nobel Priest prize to Trump in an effort to
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: favor him. But Trump says she's Trump says she's she's
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: not qualified to run the country. She doesn't have to
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: support that. Actually looks looks like they're actually back in
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the vice president who was a long time socialist. She
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: was around with Hugo Chavez was around. So it doesn't
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: really look like they're looking for regime change in a
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: typical way that it was in Iraq, and it was
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: in Afghanistan, and it was in all these other countries
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: that they're not.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: It doesn't seem like that's what they're looking for.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: It seems like they're they're looking for a new leader
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: that they that is easy to not a whole news
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: it takes that takes a lot of time. A new
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: leader already infrastructure in place, and they can just.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: That is in alignment with the vision of.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Or Or or or will get in alignment with the vision.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: I think it's interesting too that point.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: But I think the other part is that if you
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: listen to the US companies, the oil companies, they're not
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: saying like, hey, we're actually going to do this, like
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: we don't want to go to Venezuela. It's not something
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: that it's like, all right, we want to go spend
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: billion dollars and build infrastructure. Yes, Chevron is there, and
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I'm sure y'all y'all probably cover that, But it doesn't
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: look like, hey, oh, three million, three billion barrels of oil,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: our country seized it. Let's get in there and get infrastructure,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: let's refine it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: It's interesting.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't trade oil, so like for me
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: to give investment advice on oil would be it was
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: just out of my lane, right, I just not something
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I do obviously, I think it was well documented from
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: everybody today and all the companies that we named there
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: make a lot of sense.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it well, I definitely think that there's interest
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: from American company. I mean, I think it just happened
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: two days ago, right, and it's still a sensitive situation.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: So I don't think they could just raise their hand
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: and say, look, I want to be the first one
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: to just exploit your country and take all the oil.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Now, one that was already exploiting got got the call.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: First, one got exploiled. Well, they never left.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: They never left, but one got exiled, and they they
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: won a lawsuit, right like Conco Phillips won a ten
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: billion dollar lawsuit that they haven't got a dollar from. Right,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: So part of it is like, guess we're coming to seas.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: But yes, there's a debt that's still old to American
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: company from oil that was yours, which makes and even crazy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think anytime you have three hundred billion
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: barrels of oil, even if it's not the best refined,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: even if it's stick, I mean, it's opportunity for sure, definitely,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: and especially if the government is.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Cooperating.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Is there there's a thing called friendly extortion. This is Yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: there's a thing called friendly extortion. So some sometimes you
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: get extorted from like like a real aggressive standpoint, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: then sometimes you get you get extorted from a friendly
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: friendly extortion, like from both.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Fashions of an economic hit Like we're seeing the confessions
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: of economic hit man play out like a video game.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Real second concern.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: For any of you who ever played ball, your coaches
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: ever give you like the game against the team that
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: you know has no chance. This to me was a
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: war game to set up the other takeover that he
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: wants to for another country. I won't say it here.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: He said, Well he said, he said Colombia. He said
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Colombia is on the clock. Cuba's on the clock. He said, Mexico.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: He said Greenland's we need green He just going to
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: we need it. That's that's the annexation of that's gonna
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: happen that he said.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: We need that, we need.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: New age, new age imperialism is so.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: And there were a couple of people and I saw
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: a few posts and this is when I put the
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: phone down this afternoon. You kind of alluded to it
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: when you started. It was like that moral fabric, right,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: like knowing that you know, oil probably or some of
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: these companies would have a slight spike today.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Do we invest in those companies?
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: It's a fine line, right, Like there's that part of
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: like that moral investment that people will stick to ors.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Some people just say, Yo, this opportunity to make money,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: we gotta make it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Also, a thing with morals is that morals is a
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: tricky thing for sure, no good for the most part,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: because it's not really black or white. A lot of
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: times it's gray. So a lot of Venezuelans are happy
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: that this happens. I've even heard it as well as
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: say that I'd rather be an American colony m H.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Than under his ruling leadership.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, Hey, I mean they're not crying about it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: So he had a good.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Point too, what about even though the people may have unrest,
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: it doesn't mean that the regime change is absolutely right.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: Like I agree Madudo could be nefarious at times, but
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: I don't like the start of this cycle. This is
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: year one. It feels like he's been in three years already.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: If he does this to Colombia, then it's the issue.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: In Nigeria, they're setting a propaganda and it's always the
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: same it's cartel, narco terrorism, or Christians being killed as
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: a way to invade, and they're now in government. There's
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: no checks and balances, and the ones who will check
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: him are too afraid of that administration to even do anything.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: So it's a very scary thing to see be pulled
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: off so quickly. And the other part is like, how
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: did they get him so easily?
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Well, also, you know, I hate I hate to be
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: that guy.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Not only did not only how did they get him
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: so easily?
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: How all of a sudden, now we we want the
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: vice president to stay in office. She's cooperating. Look if
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: your best friend gets hit, and you and you because
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: you if you become friends with the person that got
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: your best friend hit, well the best friend has to
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: look at you.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought I thought she was going somewhere else.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I thought you was gonna say that the Nike tech, well,
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: the Nike tech was that even real? Because we got
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: three different he had three different ouphare changes. But from
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: a from a serious standpoint, what of this? This is
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: an interesting thing because I'm like, damn, this is like,
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: this is like an alpha hitchhoc movie. You take somebody
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: in the middle of the night. You just abducting presidents
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: now and his wife. You just subducting presidents.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: And then within forty eight hours you already said that
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: there's no opposition that's gonna come into power when they
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: said the opposition one's seventy eight percent of the vote,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: and you say, like, no, no, she doesn't have she
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: doesn't have the majority of the people. And then you
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: automatically just start working with the same regime that you
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: You say you want a new regime, but you start
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: working with the same regime that you say that you
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: didn't want anymore.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: The new regime is a regime I can have interest in.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: It might seem boring to save, plan and make calculated
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life. P
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: and C Bank brillantly boring since eighteen sixty five, Brillantly
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Boring since eighteen sixty five is a service mark of
