@DavidBCollum on Venezuela, American Imperialism the markets and more

We've got 2 hours of in depth content from David Collum talking Venezuela, American Imperialism, views on the stock market, Utilizing AI, the housing market and some crazier stuff I'll leave out of the description. Definitely worth a listen and if you haven't I recommend reading David's year end review here: https://peakprosperity.com/dave-collums-2025-year-in-review/

TimeStamps:

• 0:06 — Venezuela intervention skepticism (Twitter arguments, dictators, Exxon, CIA crowds)
• 1:01 — Maduro capture speculation (prefers US over mob like Gaddafi)
• 2:07 — Hanke on new regime (worse than Maduro, chaos ahead)
• 3:34 — City of London / Luongo theory (dominoes vs. Rothschild conspiracies)
• 6:17 — Drug trade lies & CIA role (fentanyl hoax, cigar boats BS, Gladio reference)
• 9:52 — Vatican banking power (2,000-year wealth, vs. Rothschild theories)
• 15:01 — Smartmatic / election rigging (Venezuela origins, Dominion links, 2020 sketchiness)
• 19:05 — New American imperialism (Greenland, open bullying, no prolonged wars)
• 24:59 — Ben Shapiro "Trump Doctrine" (killing Iraq syndrome, deterrence strikes)
• 28:26 — Shapiro critique (Israel-first, Reagan parallel, oil weak)
