Joshua Phillip | Narco-States, Governors, and Defying Federal Authority

from The Steve Gruber Show · host Chancellor

Joshua Philipp, senior investigative journalist for The Epoch Times, joins Steve to break down why Venezuela is the tip of a dangerous geopolitical iceberg. The capture of Nicolás Maduro exposed a narco-state fueled by oil, cocaine, communism, and foreign adversaries using chaos as a weapon. That same contempt for the rule of law is now echoing at home, from the Minnesota shooting to the reckless and legally questionable rhetoric of Governor Tim Walz suggesting the National Guard could confront federal agents.
