The Blockade Isn't About Oil Or Drugs - You Won't BELIEVE The Real Reason For Our War in Venezuela

Good morning everybody. Welcome to another Tom Bilyeu show live. I'm so glad you guys are here. Thank you for joining us. Tensions between the US and Venezuela continue to boil. Drew, welcome and good morning to you. >> Good morning, man. I'm excited. >> Drew, the world refuses to chill out. Fascinating to say the least. >> to jump into the voting machines part of Venezuela. Everybody knows about the oil. Everybody has speculation about China. Everybody has speculation about the narco boats. We'll get to those things, but this one is I think is a new a new stream that I haven't necessarily pulled yet. So, this is Trump retweeting on Truth Social Johnny Saint Pete. And uh this is the tweet. Bombshell video. Elon Musk must have might have saved the 2024 election from being stolen. Benny Johnson tells the story of how Musk knew that they would win the election and it appears it's because they identified the overseas systems and machines that were going to to perpetrate what we saw in 2020. Now we know why Trump is raging at Venezuela. Apparently we weren't crazy. Musk tracked down the IP addresses of Dominion office in Serbia and rendered their computer useless before the election. Years prior in 2020 the chairman of Smartmatic's holding company SGO was Mark Malloch Brown. He resigned in 2020. Guess where his next job was January 2021? The president of the Open Society Foundation. Yes, Soros's foundation. George Soros being the number one donor to the Democrats and the DNC, his right-hand man was the head of electronic voting company called Smartmatic and these Dominion machines may have been running Smartmatic software. According to Emerald Robinson, General Flynn flew out to meet with the Venezuela whistleblowers. Anyone else think it's odd that the Democrats are worried so relentlessly about Venezuela? Were they and the globalists running operations out of there? So again, early speculation, but Trump retweeted on his Truth Social, so that's why it's kind of gaining steam uh on the interwebs. >> Yeah, I mean uh if there was essentially cyber warfare going on where he's identified the computers that have supposedly been running this manipulation scheme was actually able to get in there and shut them down. And it's all a little horrifying. It's horrifying on a lot of levels. Horrifying that it was being done obviously. Horrifying that you have to do this kind of like technological scan of the battlefield and you begin to realize, oh, there are cyber wars that are being fought all day every day. Um and then just insane that Elon Musk again finds himself at the center of this kind of thing. For me, that is somebody who is able to look at the world and see what really matters right now and to build one of the most profound companies in that space and then the power of human intelligence. The thing that always drives me crazy when people go on an anti-Musk tirade about what does he actually do? Like he's just taking credit for other people's stuff. Just like, do you know how hard it is to attract human capital? Like to convince people to come work for you? There has never been in human history somebody in the business world that has been able to attract the level of human talent that he's been able to attract across industries. And seeing him take that sort of magnifying glass of intelligence and be like, oh, we need to point this to destroying servers in Serbia. Sayonara, fam. And then he just goes and does it. Now look, this is early. We don't know if this is actually what happened. But the fact again that Trump retweeted tells me that there is enough validity here to be interesting. Let's take a step back. Voting machines aside, let's just kind of see where we're at right now. Um there's been some speculation in the Senate right now of trying to actually get a powers resolution in in Congress to vote because they think that the boat narco strikes have been unconstitutional because you have to go through Congress to go to war. There have been 21 strikes so far that have killed at least 83 people in these drug boats going back and forth from the Venezuela. As it states, Pete Hegseth has come under scrutiny lately because of the double strike that has happened recently. So there was a video that allegedly one of the narco boats was strike. It blew up the boat, but then there was some survivors in the water and they sent another bomb to just kind of wipe it out completely. Yeah. >> This is him talking about that during the cabinet meeting yesterday. That again? Or you end the problem directly by taking a legal kinetic approach. And that's the way President Trump has authorized the war department to look at these cartels. And I wish everybody can be in the room watching our professionals. Our professionals like Mitch Bradley Admiral Mitch Bradley and others at JSOC and SOCOM and other commanders. The deliberative process and detail. The rigorous, the intel, the legal, the evidence-based way that we're able to with uh sources and methods that we can't repeat here. It make sure that every one of those drug boats is tied to a designated terrorist organization. You know, who's on it, what they're doing, what what they're carrying. All these white bales are not Christmas gifts or Santa. Uh this is drugs running on four mayor more fast boats or submarines that we've also struck with fishing a submarine. Uh and I have empowered them to make that call. Now the first couple of strikes as you would as any leader would want, you want to own that responsibility. So I said, I'm going to be the one to make the call after getting all the information and make sure it's the right strike. That was September 2nd. There's a lot of intelligence that goes into that. Building that case and understanding a lot of people providing information. I watched that first strike clock. Uh as you can imagine the proper orbit a lot of things to be. So I didn't stick around for the hour, two hours, whatever where all the sensitive side quotation digitally. I need on to my neck. Couple of hours later I learned that that commander had made the which he had the complete authority to do. And by the way, Admiral Bradley made the correct decision to ultimately sink the boat and eliminate the threat. He sunk the boat. So that's the one where he had to he had the authority to do that. And then last one then I'll tee it up to you is uh Maduro has responded saying, I say clearly to the world the United States is planning to plunder Venezuelan oil. They want to seize the largest oil reserve in the world as if Venezuela were a land without people. That will not happen not while I'm leading this nation. So there's all these kind of different narratives that are happening kind of surrounding Venezuela. I know when it comes to immigration sometimes you got to be fast and swift and kind of come back later and apologize. For those you got to cut quick and then maybe come back and rehire people. When it comes to international relationships, do you think we're approaching this Venezuela situation with all that's swirling kind of up in the ether? Okay, well, so you've put two things on the table. One, you've got the boat strikes. Yeah. Uh and then two, you've got Maduro. Now I have a mental map of Maduro as a narco kingpin essentially. So because of that mental map I look at this kind of statement and laugh. It's like >> He's just trying to save face, yeah. Not just save face. All of these politicians are absolute masters of the game of propaganda and what they understand is if I can give you a frame of reference I can control what you look at and what you see. I have realized how my own life, the quality of it has changed entirely by manipulating my own frame of reference. So my own ability to change the lens through which I view the world changes everything about the internal quality of my life. When I see other people struggle, my whole thing is trying to get them to change the internal frame of reference they build for themselves because simply changing the lens through which you view the world, nothing changed in the outside world, but the lens through which you view the world changes and everything about it changes. Maduro is trying to do that, but I would say to negative effect. So he's trying to reach inside of people's minds. Putin is doing the same thing. Trump is doing the same thing. Politicians want to control your frame of reference. And so from the near infinite number of options that there are in terms of how to parse the world, they try to boop instantly narrow you down to one choice in their ideal world or certainly a small handful of choices. And once they can trap you inside of a frame of reference they've got you. So he's trying to get everybody to see him, oh, I'm a leader who's just standing up for my people. Like this is wild. And so when I see that I'm like, oh my god, I know that that's going to sway an distressingly large number of people who will see that line and be like, yeah, of course, well, any good leader, that's exactly what they would say. Now if in reality this ends up being a narco kingpin who has plundered his own nation, is controlling his people so that he can sell drugs around the world because drugs are an extraordinary cash business. You can make so much money. Like when you hear how many billions of dollars Pablo Escobar was burying? Like just like out in his [ __ ] backyard in all these different houses just it it's insanity. Uh all right. We had a couple super chats. Uh first uh shout out to Mr. B Shaw for your 94999 super chat. We appreciate you. Shout out. 49 bucks is legit. Um Mr. B Shaw said, you have inspired me to write a book on the new sovereign wealth mortgage. Let's go. Personal deleveraging system and I would love to send you a link to the prologue, primer, and chapter zero. Uh Mr. B Shaw, that is one, I'm super honored that I've played some ridiculously small role in getting you to create something. That is wonderful. The odds that I will take the time to read that given my schedule is effectively zero. Um so forgive me. Love you. Thank you. But yeah, that I get people sending me books all the time. I just don't have the time. Thanks for the super chat. Really appreciate it. Thank you guys so much for joining us. Means the world. Love you all and we'll see you next week.
