In this episode, Lisa Boothe is joined by Daniel Di Martino of the Manhattan Institute to break down the stunning arrest Nicolás Maduro and what it means for Venezuela, the United States, and the global balance of power.
Daniel explains why Maduro’s arrest is being celebrated by many Venezuelans as a long-awaited moment of accountability and explores whether this development could finally open the door to a peaceful political transition. The conversation examines America’s strategic interests in Venezuela, including energy security, oil production, and the potential economic opportunities for U.S. companies if the country stabilizes.
Lisa and Daniel also analyze the broader geopolitical implications, including how Maduro’s downfall could weaken the influence of Russia, Iran, and China in the Western Hemisphere. Finally, they discuss the political backlash from the American left and what this moment reveals about U.S. foreign policy, regime change debates, and America’s role on the global stage.
