What's up? TwitterX, social media world. The entire world is crumbling. And we're all gonna die. We're not gonna die. We're actually we're gonna die at some point. So we all just have to get used to that. But today's topic is about all of the things that are happening on January 14th, 2026. Yes, we have Trump annexing Greenland with the United States taking charge.

President Donald Trump: 0:20

Greenland should make the deal because Greenland does not want to see Russia or China take over. If it affects NATO, then it affects NATO. But you know, they need us much more than we need them. I will tell you then right now. We're talking about acquiring, not leasing, not having it short term. We're talking about acquiring. And if we don't do it, Russia or China will. And that's not gonna happen when I'm resident. A lot of soldiers there right now, if I want. But uh you need more than that. You need ownership. You really have you really need title, as they say in the Rosabus.

Brendan Ecker: 0:43

Venezuela completely conquered, taking over China's authority over the oils, over the natural resources, along with Russia, America first, dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

Air Force General Dan Caine: 0:53

This operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, was discreet, precise, and conducted during the darkest hours of January 2nd, and was the culmination of months of planning and rehearsal. Maduro and his wife, both indicted, gave up and were taken into custody by the Department of Justice, assisted by our incredible U.S. military with professionalism and precision, which with no loss of U.S. life. After securing the indicted persons, the force began to prep for departure. Helicopters were called in to exfiltrate the extraction force, while fighter aircraft and remotely piloted aircraft provided overhead coverage and suppressive fire. There were multiple self-defense engagements as the forces began to withdraw out of Venezuela. The force successfully exfiltrated and returned to their float launch bases, and the force was over the water at 3.29 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, with indicted persons on board. And both Maduro and his wife were embarked aboard the USS Couchier.

Brendan Ecker: 1:30

And then we have the ICE protests that are happening following the shooting of Nicole Renee Good, who was not so good, and it led to her unfortunate death because she was impeding traffic one and refusing to comply with ICE officers. This was in the middle of the day, school day, and she's out there blocking traffic. What do you think was going to happen? So essentially, the officer, when he was struck by her vehicle, because she accelerated, he was trying to get extract her out of the vehicle. These ICE officers trying to extract her out of the vehicle, legally, lawfully, totally justified to do it. Because again, she's blocking traffic, she's getting in the way of the road. But so essentially, as this officer standing in front of her, he's standing in front of the engine block of her SUV, essentially, that's when he grabbed for his gun. And in the video, you can hear the thump of the vehicle hitting him, and then he pulls his firearm, and then he pulls two, I think it was three shots, but he uh struck and hit her twice.

Renee Good's Spouse (ICE Incident): 2:51

Just so you know, we don't get the same plate when you come talk to us later. That's fine. You have citizens? You wanna come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy. Out of the car. Get out of the fucking car. Out of the car.

Brendan Ecker: 3:16

Ultimately, unfortunate. Very sad situation, very sad set of circumstances, but we also have to defend the innocent. And unfortunately, whether or not somebody lost their life, we have to defend the people, like our ICE officers who are out there doing their job, what's in the job description for the United States government to remove illegal immigrants. And when you have these white liberals in these, it's not about race, but you have these people who are completely impeding the law. They're obstructing justice. They're getting in the way of officers, allowing them to do lawful work. And so we have the left, the radical left, the crazies, who are suggesting that the that ICE is the new Nazis, that they're the new white supremacists. All of this is a precursor to really build a kind of future where there's more tension, where there's more war, where there's more protests, where there's less loyalty in the United States, sentiment for patriotism is low, and the risk for Donald Trump is even higher. And so this also comes after the Epstein files recently being released. We have a lot of victims coming out giving their side of the story.

Juliette Bryant: 4:20

I started looking into things and I realized that these bastards are doing human cloning. They've got underground labs. You know, I woke up in a laboratory there one night, and it was something something I can't really explain. Okay, and I I know a lot of viewers don't understand things like that. Like I've had a lot of weird things happen when I was there, things I can't explain. And I've been living my life every day, and I've never had weird stuff happen like what happened there. Well, well, in the laboratory, Epstein wasn't there, to my knowledge. Well, what happened is I woke up and there was a female doctor like um by my head, and then there were six people in house smell suits, like threes on one side, thread on the other side, and I was naked and I was tapped on the table, and I was paralyzed, and I couldn't speak, but my eyes couldn't move. So I looked around, and then the woman came to me and she said, Don't worry, everything's gonna be okay. And then I was out again. So, I mean, I don't know what they did. I've never been through anesthesia or anything like that. You know, I've never had anything like that happen in my well, to my knowledge, but it seems like these people did something, and I woke up and they were doing something. You realize they were taking eggs.

Brendan Ecker: 5:19

And all of these things, it's like a perfect storm. Okay, and then at the same time, we have the crypto markets that are starting to go up. You're not investing in crypto, then you're making a mistake. But I do like to cover the digital asset space because the people who the boomers are gonna say, well, don't invest in that crypto. The boomers are gonna say that you need to focus on gold, which is fine. You should also invest in gold, you should save cash, you should be diversified as much as possible. But as a realtor, as an entrepreneur, as a CEO, I'm telling you right now, if you want to be wealthy, then you need to invest in digital assets and digital assets like XRP. And then we have Bitcoin right at about $94,282. So if you guys are following the digital asset space, then you guys would be following the fact that the Clarity Act and the Genius Act are about to be passed into law officially. And according to Polymarket, there's about an 80% chance that can actually happen. So we're looking at some pretty good odds. You have Cardano sitting at 41 cents, you have Hedera Hashgraph sitting at 12 cents, 12 cents, guys. That's a deal. H bar, that's a deal. Okay, these are the altcoins. This is the world of the altcoins. You got Onyxcoin at literally 0.0089 cents, you got Algorand at 14 cents, Ethereum at $3,194. Listen, crypto's the future. Digital assets are the future, and if you want to survive in the future, it's not just gonna be gold in the US dollar. The US dollar is crashing. Okay, the US dollar ultimately will probably never crash, but you will probably see a change in currencies. There will be a reset of currencies, and every CEO knows this, everybody in banking knows this, but this is just true, and this is what's gonna happen. We also have the Federal Reserve under threat. Jerome Powell is finally under investigation. There's ongoing subpoenas right now for Federal Chair Jerome Powell sparking bipartisan backlash, where the former Treasury Secretaries and Fed chair criticize it as a political measure and market reactions showing investor concerns about central bank autonomy. And so this is an interesting article. And this article comes from Reuters, but essentially, what's happening with the Federal Reserve? Why are we not like why are we still paying taxes? Why are we allowing the Federal Reserve to run our life? How come JFK was so demonized because he wanted to take the Federal Reserve and throw it into the winds into a million pieces or do you mean?

Jerome Powell (Federal Reserce Chairman): 7:40

On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That testimony concerned, in part, a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. No one, certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve, is above the law. But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure. This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight rule. The Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures, made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President. This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions, or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation. I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people. Thank you.

Brendan Ecker: 9:11

What is so wrong with Trump going after the Federal Reserve? Think about Jekyll Island, 1907, and what they did to America, where they really was the moment, the year that they created the system of indentured servitude. And so 1907, Jekyll Island. They don't want you to talk about that. And so they don't want you Googling that. So you Google Jekyll Island, you Google all of these things, you learn the real truth about finance, about our government and our loving Congress, how the Federal Reserve is really not federal and how it has no reserves. And so that's the truth that's coming out now. And Jerome Powell is getting in trouble for it, which he should. He is in he has impoverished so many Americans because of this entire thing. If it wasn't for the Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell, we wouldn't be in the situation right now with crypto where prices are so low. And where there was outright fraud everywhere with crypto. There needs to be clarity. There needs to be some kind of movement, some progression towards laws that make sense for the financial system of the United States so we can innovate and build and have a financial technological future that makes sense. So people can put money into a gumball machine. You put money into a gumball machine and you give money out. What if that was a real thing? Well, that's what XRP literally does. And so that's what they try and to hide. Okay, they call it a central bank digital currency when XRP is actually the opposite of that. XRP is a centralized banking digital currency. It's a little bit different because it has the ability, it has a unit of account, because it actually is functional at 1500 transactions per second. Bitcoin, dude, it's found everywhere. Anybody who's had Bitcoin has been has had their Bitcoin stolen from them. Anybody who invested in Bitcoin in 2001, during the dot-com boom, 2006, when the Tigers were at the World Series, okay, when all these people invested in Bitcoin and they got rich, guess what? The government was knocking at their door, taking away their hard wallet, and they were getting their money taken away. And the same thing's happening today. But if you're not smart, and so if you're not following the trends, if you're not following the breadcrumbs, the threads, then you're not gonna really know what's happening financially. We also have public broadcasting funding cuts. The PBS cancels the PBS canceled its weekend news program, PBS News Weekend, due to a $1.1 billion congressional cut. The corruption of public broadcasting faces dissolution, replaced by new science, tech, and foreign affairs shows. This is great for debating media, but government funding and access to news, it's just not so worth it. So that's the true test of the American intuition on what's truly going here for 2026. So what are you thinking? What are you doing in 2026 to get you ahead of the game? We also have the Gaza humanitarian situation as it worsens today. We have Tekken AI infrastructure booms happening all over the place with Google, Gemini, Grok AI, which is pretty much hitting the number one spot in the app store right now. Um XAI is actually, I think Starlink has just gotten approval from the FCC, and that puts them in a higher position of power as well. And then we also have India's geopolitical stance where the Army chief states India rejects activities in Shotsgun Valley, citing 1963 Pakistan-China Agreement as illegal. Plus, quick commerce platforms like Blinket, Zepto, etc., drop 10-minute delivery promises after government intervention, offer safety concerns. So that's happening in India's situation. And don't forget, we have a ton of Indians coming to the United States to take our jobs and software and all these things. Same thing with China. See, America will always be number one, not number two, not number three. America's always going to be number one. If you're not okay with that, then you can get out. And that's how I feel. I am proud of my country when I look at the things that we're able to accomplish. How no other country can touch us or even step to us. Okay, maybe they can get close, maybe they can blackmail us, maybe they can steal our technology, our intellectual property, maybe they can steal it, maybe they can lie, maybe they can try to rewrite history. But the truth is that we will always be the strongest nation. Why? Really? Fundamentally, because we are the most Christian nation. We believe in peace, prosperity, and the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and we believe in the right to keep and bear arms, the right to be free citizens, the right to transcend beyond the dimension that we're currently in. That is the American vision, the American spirit, the crusades, the future of the entire human race. That is what America is all about. Leading the charge with full iron fist. And that's what I'm talking about. Those are the big stories. And again, of course, we have the America-Israel conflict and how all of that and the entire entanglement through AIPAC and through donor donors essentially selling out the United States to foreign lobbies and the Israel lobby. We have this issue as well. This also ties into Venezuela and all these different deals. But ultimately, America's winning. And we need to stay winning. We need to stay educated. We need to stay on top of the truth. We need to be willing to speak the truth and never let them silence us because that's the next step. They want to too they want to turn people violent. They want to turn the masses against each other in America. They want a civil war. They want it, they want all of these things to happen. And the most dangerous thing that we can ever do is allow it to happen. We need to remain peaceful, we need to remain truthful, and we need to remain we need to remain we need to remain peaceful, we need to remain truthful, and we need to remain factual. And at the end of the day, the truth is on our side, and doing the right thing will get us to success and across the finish line in the mount in the most possible in the most successful way. Ultimately, through Christ, we can do anything. And that is the message here. With Christ, we will have a strong nation. So America has just begun. America first, America only.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan on Venezuela: 15:27

What would you assume is the most major threat on the world stage? Anybody? Just call it out. You don't have to raise your hand.

Juliette Bryant: 15:32

Definitely Russia.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan on Venezuela: 15:33

Definitely Russia. That's confident. I like it. Who says Russia? Anybody agree with her? Okay. Who else? China. Stop yelling at me, but China is a good answer. Anybody? Who else? China?

Juliette Bryant: 15:45

North Korea.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan on Venezuela: 15:46

North Korea. Any North Korea takers? And uh Venezuela? Anybody? Nope? Oh, yeah. One guy in the back. A little worried about Venezuela. Everybody's cool with Venezuela? No threat? Okay. Let me ask you this. Which one of these places can claim to have the largest oil deposit on the planet? More than Saudi? More than Iran? Wow. Okay, what about things like gold? More than all the mines in Africa combined? The fact is that Venezuela is arguably the single greatest resource of oil and minerals on the planet. So, why is this country in the midst of one of the greatest humanitarian crises in modern history? Let's meet President Nicolas Reyes. After rising to power on a wave of nationalist pride in a mere six years, this guy has crippled the national economy by half. He has raised the poverty rate by almost 400%. Luckily for the rest of us, he's up for re-election. So, who's running against him? This is Gloria Binalde. Now, Gloria is a history professor, a turned activist. She's running against him on a social justice platform and on the strength of, in my humble opinion, just not being an asshole. Analyst predictions, as of today, have the chances of Venezuela's total economic collapse at 87%. On the news, they'll call it a crisis. But on the world stage, they'll call it a failed state. You've never heard that term. Other examples of a failed state in recent history are Yemen, Iraq, and Syria. Well, Venezuela is also the only one of these places within 30-minute range from the US of next-gen nuclear missiles. You will not hear about any of this on the news, because the biggest players on the world stage do not want you to. To them, unstable governments are nothing more than the greatest of opportunities. So Russia, China, never be the most major threat until countries like Venezuela leave the door open to our very own backyard.
