00:00And you're just picking up on Venezuela. I mean, some analysts, and I think it was in fact the

00:04president of Belarus who said that Venezuela risked becoming the next Vietnam. I mean,

00:09clearly the GOP does not want that in a midterm election year.

00:15No, and we definitely do not want boots on the ground in Venezuela. I think that would be a

00:20terrible thing to do, especially in the midterm year. Look, Maduro's getting squeezed. He knows

00:26his time is up. President Trump has already given him an exit window for him and his family and close

00:31allies. Maduro's asking the UN Security Council to jump in. So he knows he's out of room there.

00:38And it's just a matter of time before there is regime change. And so I look forward to that as

00:44well. I'm also looking forward to the US-China meeting in April of 2026. I think that is going

00:51to resolve a lot of the tensions that we're facing right now. A lot of US companies are not making

00:56major purchases as well as hires because of that meeting. We need to see that that is going to

01:02be stable before there's more job hiring. So I think that's something to look forward to.

01:06I'm also keeping a really close eye on this new alliance between Modi, Xi Jinping, Putin, and others.

01:14They were playing games in 2025. They were trying to troll Trump, which I found quite funny. But at the

01:21same time, I get it. It's a new alliance that's been formed there that is a very anti-Trump

01:26alliance, I feel. So I'm keeping an eye on how that looks like because Apple, one of our largest

01:33companies here in the US, has decided to do packaging and manufacturing in India. So we're

01:40all connected somehow. It's whether or not President Trump can get the best and squeeze

01:46the best out of what we can get for Americans and get the best pricing around the world versus

01:51a lot of these kind of hard diplomacy policies that he's put into place. I'd like to see

01:57him continue with it because I can't see any other president fighting for us as hard as he

02:02has around the world.
