fernandez: 20 years ago, hugo chavez was elected president of venezuela. cuba and venezuela became close allies. venezuela has more oil than any other country in the world, but their healthcare system needed help. so the two governments made a deal. venezuela sent us oil and we sent them... [mom speaking spanish] fernandez: in 2005, hugo chavez began providing cheap oil to countries throughout the caribbean. venezuela's oil diplomacy offered a way for countries to be less dependent on the united states, and it helped cuba reduce the impact of the blockade. but this south-south cooperation threatened u.s. hegemony. john bolt began talking about the monroe doctrine, which dates back to 1823. bolton: the monroe doctrine is alive and well. fernandez: the monroe doctrine basically says the western hemisphere belongs to the united states. it's been used to justify u.s. invasions in latin america for more than a century. trump: wseek a peaceful transition of wer, but all options are open. nothing could be better for the future of venezuela and nothing uld be bett

there was no hugo chavez that interrupted in the elections in 2020. there was no martian vote. there was no fraudulent vote. there was one case. could you comment on that? my other question or comment, quick is, the republican senators all took an oath during the impeachment to be a fair and impartial juror. i know that's not exactly what you're talking about. but then let's say they'll use that for toilet paper. host: you bring up a couple of different issues. guest: i tend to forget what happened before. whether it is just one case, i was reading the other day about a case in texas where a guy had served some time in prison and was on parole. under texas law, while you are in jail and while you are still on parole, you are not allowed to vote, and afterwards you are allowed to vote. this guy was apparently at his local polling place, the last person in line to vote, was quoted on tv or something for having waited six hours to vote. he votes, and then it comes out somebody investigates and finds out that he shouldn't have because his parole wasn't over. when prosecutors have l

the third of july when you look at the track record of that they are meeting with his mentor was hugo chaveze from that organization or anyone who wants to meet diplomatically with that. todd: that leads to a curious tweet, dsa stands with the cuban people and their revolution in this moment of unrest, end the blockade. clear who are your sporting especially that last line echoing a cuban government talking point that the blockade is the reason for this, not 62 years of oppression. >> absolutely correct, the blockade does not impede the ability for the country, the embargo, it is completely ridiculous and misinformation. >> something cnn wrote in a news article covering the cuban protests. cnn said these are the largest protests on the island in decades as cubans complain about lack of food and medicine as the country undergoes a great economic crisis aggravated by the covid 19 pandemic and us sanctions. that is a throwaway line in the cnn news story and it made no reference to the fact that these people are chanting freedom and liberty and calling for a change of the system. >> what they ar

remember, w this is exactly what hugo chavez was promising his people in venezuela just 20 years ago. the citizens of this once rich country in south america are scrounging food from dumpsters, more than 4 million venezuelans have fled the s,country and as we speak, venezuelan migrants are pouring across our southern border. look at the united states of america. we are not perfect, but we are the last best hope for mankind on earth. immigrants from all over the world flock to this land for one basic reason, freedom. not building walls to keep people in because the world's population wouldg love to come here. we believe in the first amendment, the second amendment, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of information, freedom of assembly, free enterprise, the freedom to pursue happiness each and every day and only striving to become a more perfect union. these freedoms are enshrined in our great constitution and these are literally rights given to us by god, not by government. this is important because what the government giveth your government can take

venezuelan people know full well what is happening in cuba, knowing that they were living under hugo chavezo long. we're seeing events across miami, and in fact they will continue. we understand a lot of people will be moving or to the world-famous versailles restaurant, where the rallies and protests will continue. >> thank you, stephanie. >>> coming up, pressure on president biden to offer a clear plan for legislate. >>> plus what caused this chaotic scene at a washington nationals baseball game? chaotic scene at a washington nationals baseball game? experience our advance standards safety technology on a full line of vehicles. at the lexus golden opportunity sales event. get 1.9% apr financing on the 2021 rx 350. experience amazing. you're clearly someone who takes care of yourself. so why wait to screen for colon cancer? because when caught in early stages, it's more treatable. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false

geopolitical area for the united states and certainly in 2009 when manuel zelaya was allying with hugo chavezing -- you remember that conversation. this was very threatening to hillary clinton. hillary clinton, who is a disciple of kissinger who many people credit with the dirty war in south america. so there were all of the sort of cold war people within the democratic party that executed the coup d'État in 2009. of course, the obama administration refused to call it a coup as you remember. your reporting role in that moment was key because it was only independent media was calling a coup coup d'État effectively and it was not until 2011 when wikileaks sorted released cables from the u.s. embassy in honduras at the time of the coup that the administration had to admit -- they called it a diplomatic coup. honduran people knew it was a violent coup come a coup that over 2000 people were killed, over 4000 people civil rights violations. you had the death of a trans woman come and many more since then. berta cÁceres is someone that called out hillary clinton and the obama administration constant

. >> greg: yes, that's true purity was a big defender of hugo chavez.e they're smart enough to have got a net on their own pit i don't think you have to help them not much. >> greg knows his audience. >> mansplaining. >> greg: what if i don't see myself as a man. >> this story about ten staffers -- anonymous staffers being upset about joe rogan happens about every three weeks. i'm starting to believe that it is a p.r. ploy, because every time they do the executives of spotify till those guys that are complaining to go pound sand. but spotify executives totally got it and they are like, actually defending him. support of this feels like maybe it's just one of the ways that they are trying to get some good press. >> greg: i should work on that here for the show peer there's also the chance that it's just a couple of people and they are amplified by business insider, by all of these people that are from the politically correct culture that controls the mainstream media. and it happens at fox's will beauty beautified a couple of disgruntled people or people

there was no hugo chavez that interrupted in the elections in 2020. there was no martian votes. there was no fraudulent votes. there was one case. could you comment on that? and my other question or comment quick is the republican senators all took an oath during the impeachment to be a fair and impartial juror. i know that's not exactly what you are talking about, but let's say they used that for toilet paper. >> joe, you bring up a couple different issues. >> before i forget, i have add so i tend to forget what happened before. yeah, i mean, whether it's one case -- i was reading the other day there was a case in texas where a guy served some time in prison and was parole under texas law while you are in jail and still on parole you are not allowed to vote but afterwards you are allowed to vote. this guy was apparently at his local polling place was the last person in line to vote, was quoted or shown on tv or something for having waited six hours to vote, he votes and then it comes out somebody investigated, finds out, well, he shouldn't have because his parole wasn't over. w

donald trump and his cronies have the most cringe inducing version of voter fraud that the ghost of hugo chavez turned the election, that fraud plays a crucial role in the intellectual structure from everyone from mcconnell, alito and trump. here's alito. fraud can affect the outcome of an election. fraud can also undermine public confidence in the fairness of elections. heavens to betsy. the perceived legitimacy in the outcome. yes. you see how important the work of voter fraud is so that alito can use it to justify these kinds of laws. >> yeah. this opinion by alito is really the institutionalization of the big lie and of the myth of voter fraud over the past two decades. in shelby county john roberts invented a principle, equal sovereignty of the states while alito took the republican playbook about lying about voter fraud. he said a state can do whatever it wants if it tries to stop voter fraud, even if there is no voter fraud. if minority voters face all of these burdens, that's not enough to strike down these voter suppression laws. he's enacting all of these new tests that minority voter

that has never worked in elections before and that is led by a conspiracy theorist ceo who thinks hugo chavez >> bret: let me go through more specifics with you. liz says that 3,000 voters registered after the date and that they are false and they should be thrown out. >> that's inaccurate. we have listed this on just the facts dot vote. the reason that's inaccurate look, the political party did an amazing job of registering thousands and thousands and thousands of voters right up until the october 15th deadline. but not all of those are processed as soon as they are received. and so somebody might have filled out the paperwork by october 15th but that person might have had to vote a provisional ballot because that paperwork wouldn't have been processed until later. but as long as they filled it out before october 15th, then it's still a valid voter and that vote should count. >> bret: let's click down the tabulation system was somehow connected to the internet and hacked during the general election. >> categorically false. we have had two independent companies that certified elections profes

and that kind of saying -- hugo chavez was changing at the voting results and the machines -- but thatlooking at the run up of the january 6th, we have to talk about the mythology created by the president about this, that you are party to. >> and that movement is not going away, it remains out there. people still believe this election was fraud id. it leads to all sorts of efforts and endeavors around the country, under the guise of election integrity. in upcoming elections -- this is ongoing. and not only that, these domestic terrorism groups that were in bed with all of these situations that happened that day on january 6th, this is a movement that has missed metastasizing across the country. this is something that we have to get at the bottom of, this is radicalization. and to me, when you look at this investigation from national security perspective, i look at jim jordan and i think about the 9/11 commission. now would you appoint one of osama bin laden's deputy to serve on the 9/11 commission, would you have done that to get to a fact fighting mission? jim jordan appointed in this

what was a failure in venezuela was the socialism the hugo chavez brought thousands would leave the borderbawnt they couldn't get milk or electricity or surgery or others. venezuela used to be the gel ofl of latin america. they changed their constitution. we watched what happened in cuba time and again while people have been fleeing. now is the window of opportunity. and, unfortunately, on the halls of congress, i hear from democrats those same socialist ideas. instead of talking about the freedom of democracy. this is what we should be promoting but this is ones that we should stand with anyone in cuba who crave though have that freedom. and we should help them attain it. >> bret: right maduro is in power. pressuring from the outside and saying guaido was the legitimate leaderboard that eventually that would change. it hasn't. it? >> hasn't because they use military force. you watched where china came in china and others. cuba have the same ability for a number of decades. this is a window of opportunity we should not let pass by. you shouldn't look to other. you should find opportunity r

you know, that kind of thing as opposed to saying, you know, the nuttier ghost of hugo chavez was changinge looking to the run-up to january 6th. you have to talk about the mythology created by the president around this that you were a party to. >> that's exactly it. look, this movement isn't going away. it remains out there, right. people still believe this election was stolen. it is leading to all sorts of endeavors going on across the country right now, under the guise of election integrity. we have that going on. we have threats against election officials happening, that we're worried about in upcoming elections. this is ongoing. not only that, these domestic terrorism groups that were in bed with all of these situations that happened that day on january 6th, this is a movement that's metastasizing across the country. this is something that we need to get to the bottom of. this is radicalization here on u.s. soil, and to me, when you look at this investigation from a national security perspective, i look at jim jordan and i think about the 9/11 commission. now, would you appoint one of

republican party, as a better message than the election was stolen from donald trump by the coast of hugo chavez that got embedded in the voting machines. but, donald trump is not going to let republicans pursue that message and they will not break from him. we saw republicans justify going along with the big lie. remember, mcconnell was guilty of this as well. a lot of republicans, even the ones that turned against him later, in the interim, between the election and the georgia runoffs which was the day before january six, they all sort of went along with it because they wanted to placate him because they had an election to win. but of course, the nature of elections is that there's always another one coming and so the justification for that is always present. and so there will always be reason to accede to the lies until there's some sort of definitive defeat or they win. and we stop having elections or ones that matter, anyway. so, tomorrow, the bipartisan commission investigating the insurrection kicks off. and again the politics around this commission are a perfect microcosm of the moment.

they think trump watermarked the real ballots they think hugo chavez, who died in 2013, rigged the electionchickens who were then incinerated. this audit is crazier than one of those viral cooking videos where someone grinds up a hamburger and turns it into a milk shake and it will not surprise to you learn that the people who commissioned this audit are of course lunatics. and i'm not just talking about fringe weirdos like lindell. i mean, the president of the arizona state senate, who was tracked down by cnn this week, and gave an absolutely bonkers interview where she defended the audit. >> aren't you raising more questions by giving rise to these conspiracy theories? >> no. i'm answering questions. so let me ask you a question >> mm-hmm. >> are you 100% confident that every vote that came in, in arizona or any other state -- can you say emphatically 100% that no dead people voted? that ballots weren't filled out by other people? that the chain of custody from the minute people voted, their ballots, that the chain of custody was accurate and on target the entire time can you tell me that

company dominion, alleging that its machines rigged the election for joe biden on behalf of dead hugo chavez in venezuela or maybe it was actually china, it's kind of hard to follow. the letter from the oversight committee concludes, "for all of these reasons the committee requests that cyber ninjas produce the following documents by july 28th." and they then include this comprehensive list of documents and communications they want. cyber ninjas' funding sources, its procedures for conducting this, whatever it is they're doing in arizona, documents and communications about the various conspiracy theories fueling their work, like they put it in there, bamboo-laced ballots smuggled in from asian countries, watermarks placed on the ballot that are visible with uv lights. do you have any documentation about the bamboo thing? do you have any documentation about why your magic watermarks only work with uv light when everybody else's watermarks just work when you hold them up? and of course part of the point of an investigation like this from the oversight committee in congress is just to gather ev

who told rudy ukraine interfered in the election to hurt trump i heard it from sidney powell and hugo chavez that was recorded by italian satellites but also you got to remember, i'm real tired all the time because my pillow sucks. plus i sleep in the woods and i got really nervous, because of all da bears!" [ laughter ] so that's -- let's see, that's lindell, vaughn, wilson, romano. did the smithsonian ask for anything else or - we just send this up [ laughter ] i'd sell an nft of this "closer look," but i already got too much money [ laughter ] but then rudy got down to business and made it clear that what he and trump wanted was for ukraine's president to make a public statement declaring that they were opening an investigation into joe biden >> and all we need -- all we need from the president is to say, "i'm going to put an honest prosecutor in charge he's going to investigate and dig up the evidence that presently exists and if there is any other evidence about involvement of the 2016 election. and then the biden thing has to be run out, i don't know if it's true or not. >> seth: oh, y

were created in venezuela, at the direction of hugo chavez. >> as far as i know, this is the first case obtaining a coup of the united states of america. >> i wonder how much the cia, actually, had a role in -- in starting this kind of program, to begin with. >> president trump won by a landslide. we are going to prove it. >> it should be that he can simply be reinstated. that a new inauguration date is set. and biden is told to move out of the white house and -- and -- and -- and president trump should be moved, back, in. >> trying to read the patches on her motorcycle vest. joining us now, michigan's attorney general, dana nessel. attorney general nessel, thanks for being with us. what is your reaction to what went on in court today? >> well, let's just say that i don't think the legal futures are very bright for any of the attorneys that were the plaintiff's lawyers on their -- on the case in michigan. and i think they face a similar fate, in various, other states, as well. >> in addition to several other michigan officials, you asked the judge in this case to levy sanctions, includi

we saw venezuela, one of the richest nations in south america, be destroyed by hugo chavez, nicholas maduro, propped up by the castro regime. we see it going into nicaragua with a, bolivia, and even here in the united states of america. i can tell you firsthand in new york city how painful it was to me to see the communist symbol, the hammer and sickle, painted on our government buildings last summer. if we end communism in cuba, we end its spread in the western hemisphere. and that is what we as the american people, freedom-loving americans should be doing at this moment in time. and there's a reason why the cuban people are marching in the streets right now holding the american flag is because we are that symbol of freedom, that beacon of hope and opportunity. and we must rise to the occasion, garner support from our allies, democracies from all around the world to put pressure on this illegitimate regime to exit. one last thing i want to address is the issue of what some of my colleagues say is the embargo. it's unconscionable to me that we would have members of congress that woul

hugo chavez and his ghost did not invent a machine in pennsylvania and arizona and take votes away from to biden. bill barr told him in a very strong way, i have an entire team of prosecutors, i have the entire justice department, we've run down every single one of these claims from your buddies, and none of them have any basis. in fact, he called them bull-s. i won't go any further than that. the president was livid. and it actually led to barr resigning within two weeks, because trump didn't want to hear it. >> stunning, these conversations that you are reporting, that they even happened. there are the excerpts that have been published by the "washington post" that say donald trump was absolutely desperate to beat joe biden in the election, telling aides, i can't -- i'm not going to say the word, but f-ing lose to this guy. was he so desperate, phillip, was it the meade to beat joe biden specifically? can you figure that out? >> you know, alex, it was driven by his desire to win and sort of his ego, his narcissim, his inability as you put it earlier to accept being the loser. but thro

there was no hugo chavez that interrupted in the elections in 2020. there was no martian vote. was no fraudulent vote. there was one case. could you comment on that? my other question or comment, quick is, the republican senators all took an oath during the impeachment to be a fair and impartial juror. i know that's not exactly what you're talking about. but then let's say they'll use that for toilet paper. host: you bring up a couple of different issues. guest: i tend to forget what happened before. whether it is just one case, i was reading the other day about a case in texas where a guy had served some time in prison and was on parole. under texas law, while you are in jail and while you are still on parole, you are not allowed to vote, and afterwards you are allowed to vote. this guy was apparently at his local polling place, the last person in line to vote, was quoted on tv or something for having waited six hours to vote. he votes, and then it comes out somebody investigates and finds out that he shouldn't have because his parole wasn't over. when prosecutors have looked
