The U.S. launched a major military strike in Venezuela and successfully captured President Nicolás Maduro along with his wife early on January 3. The operation, dubbed “Absolute Resolve,” involved over 150 U.S. aircraft and special forces, targeting multiple military sites before evacuating Maduro to New York to face narcotics charges. The strike prompted global backlash, with Russia and China denouncing it as a violation of sovereignty, the U.N. Security Council calling an emergency session, and neighboring airspace closures disrupting Caribbean travel.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh Man, total prayers right there, y'all.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We got the one that on the mister Joseph Marvin,
the Singior Pastor.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Of Monzheim's Nerve.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I'm the search Nashville on the Sea, and the presiding
Bishop of for God, the Bisiness Parker.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Good morning, Happy New year.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Good morning you, Ricky, and good morning to everybody. And
what a wonderful legend, and what a wonderful legacy. Rich
a small world we would miss him dearly, and of
course to all of you today if we start this
year off, I want to share with your word Matthew
six point thirty three, seek first the Kingdom of God
and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added
(00:34):
onto you. And this year, I think it's so important
for us to always put first things first, to put
God first. You never know what shall happen, you never
know what's around the corner. But this year is all
about priorities. It's all about making certain that the main
thing remains the main thing. Wherever there's a kingdom, there's
a king, and the king is always in control. Whatever
(00:55):
situation you have, make certain you let the world know.
And I'm putting God them first, because everything else will
follow me. Here's the deal I found out. I don't
have to chase stuff this year, because stuff is gonna
chase me. Anyone Ricky who knows about the game of
chest knows that every piece has power, but the game
is always decided by the king. You can lose your queen,
(01:17):
you can even sacrifice the bishops. You can trade rooks
and still be in the game. But when the king
is trapped, the game is over. And here's the revelation.
Most people think chance is about attacking with the queen,
or advancing the pawns, or protecting the strong pieces, but
season players know the real strategy is always the same,
(01:37):
keep the king in the right position, because everything on
the board moves and relations to the king. The queen
moves boldly, but for the king. The bishop moves to actually,
but for the King. The rooks stand firm, but for
the King. Even the pawns move forward one square at
a time, But for the king. No piece is more
active than the king, yet no pieces more protected. The
(01:58):
entire board organized it self the around the safety and
the placement of the king. So your on life is
not about chasing all the powerful pieces and money and
success and influencing titles. You can gain all those and
still lose the game if the king is out of position.
What does the profit a man to gain the whole
world and lose his soul? Today this year, let's keep
(02:20):
the king in the right position and everything you praying for,
everything you need will always be taken care of. Put
God first, and these things will be added onto you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That's right. Mission.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And you're gonna have to put a small you know,
a message together for small minded people that only know
how to play checkersin't know what you're talking.
Speaker 1 (02:46):

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Broke it down everybody understanding the game of chess. I
really slowed it down.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Now, you did a good job.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And for the small mind the people that only play Chuckles,
you're gonna have to come up with a word for
us next week.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Good morning, Ricky.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
It's Monday, January fifth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Here's what's going on in the news.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
The US has launched a military operation in Venezuela and
capture the country's president, Nicholas Maduro, who is expected to
make his first appearance in a New York courtroom later today.
Federal broscu to say Maduro, his wife, and their adult
son are facing drug trafficking charges. Meanwhile, Columbia, Russia, and
China have all reportedly requested an emergency UN Security Council
(04:18):
meeting that is expected to also happen today.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
So, Ricky, who will be running Venezuela? Now, I'll bet
you can guess.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
What's largely going to be for a period of time.
The people that are standing right behind me, we're going
to be running it. We're going to be bringing it back.
It's a dead you know, I talk about a dead country.
A year and a half ago, we were a dead country.
Now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Trump says that Venezuela is a vice president. She could
face an even bigger price in Maduro if she doesn't
quote do what's right. Trump went on to say that
American oil companies will be fixing the damage Venezuelan infrastructure,
making the Venezuelan people independent and rich. House Minority Hakeem
Jeffries basically told Meet the Press.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
That Trump's focus ought to be on Americans.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It remains to be seen whether the people of Venezuela
are going to be better off.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Donald Trump claims that he's going to run Venezuela.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
He's done a terrible job running the United States of America.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Senator at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says the US
tach on Venezuela was illegal.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
There is no authority to go. They did not just
do ships off the water. They went inside Venezuela, bombed
civilian as well as military places, and it's a violation
of the law to do what they did without getting
the authorization of Congress.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says, it's not what
it looks like.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
There's not a war.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I mean, we are at war against druct trafficking organizations,
is not a war against Venezuela.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
The air strikes rippled beyond politics. Ricky Caribbean air travel
was disrupted over the weekend, with major airlines canceling or
diverting flights due to restricted airspace, leaving travelers scrambling to
rebook or get refunds. And lastly, while diplomats were scrambling,

Speaker 6 (03:56):
The US has launched a military operation in Venezuela and
capture the country's president, Nicholas Maduro, who is expected to
make his first appearance in a New York courtroom later today.
Federal broscu to say Maduro, his wife, and their adult
son are facing drug trafficking charges. Meanwhile, Columbia, Russia, and
China have all reportedly requested an emergency UN Security Council
(04:18):
meeting that is expected to also happen today.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
So, Ricky, who will be running Venezuela? Now, I'll bet
you can guess.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
What's largely going to be for a period of time.
The people that are standing right behind me, we're going
to be running it. We're going to be bringing it back.
It's a dead you know, I talk about a dead country.
A year and a half ago, we were a dead country.
Now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Trump says that Venezuela is a vice president. She could
face an even bigger price in Maduro if she doesn't
quote do what's right. Trump went on to say that
American oil companies will be fixing the damage Venezuelan infrastructure,
making the Venezuelan people independent and rich. House Minority Hakeem
Jeffries basically told Meet the Press.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
That Trump's focus ought to be on Americans.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It remains to be seen whether the people of Venezuela
are going to be better off.
Speaker 1 (05:08):

tach on Venezuela was illegal.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
There is no authority to go. They did not just
do ships off the water. They went inside Venezuela, bombed
civilian as well as military places, and it's a violation
of the law to do what they did without getting
the authorization of Congress.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says, it's not what
it looks like.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
There's not a war.
Speaker 2 (05:40):

is not a war against Venezuela.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
