What if a scripted TV raid on Venezuela turned into real-life headlines? In this eye-opening episode, Glenn sits down with investigative journalist and author Annie Jacobsen to unpack the shocking U.S. operation that captured Maduro — drawing direct parallels to her advisory work on the show “Jack Ryan,” where she pushed for “an authentic kill-or-capture mission inside Venezuela.” Glenn shares his take on Trump’s unorthodox strategy, noting, “I felt like he took one stone and knocked out 200 birds,” with ripple effects impacting China, Russia, and beyond.  Delving into advanced weaponry, Annie explains how Havana syndrome technology has “existed since the ’50s,” while Glenn warns of the rapid advancement of AI and drone warfare. The duo discusses Trump’s nuclear fears, the limits of presidential power and intelligence agencies, Greenland, and the feasibility of the “Golden Dome” — before agreeing that, as we witness this rapidly accelerating arms race that could redefine global conflict, we must work together to prevent World War III.       GLENN’S SPONSORS: Home Title Lock: Go to ⁠https://hometitlelock.com/glennbeck⁠ and use promo code GLENN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!
