After Maduro: What Happens Next in Venezuela? Sam Faddis Warns the “Regime Isn’t One Man”

from The Adult in the Room · host Victoria Taft

A behind-the-scenes explanation of what a high-risk operation would require—intel, rehearsals, timing, air-defense countermeasures, and the kind of “boring details” that decide whether people live or die. You’ll hear a former CIA voice walk you through why human sources still matter, why leadership authorization changes everything, and why “Maduro gone” doesn’t automatically mean “Venezuela free.”Then you shift gears with comedian/radio host Kevin Downey Jr., who shares his account of January 6—what he says he witnessed, how he describes the crowd’s behavior, and what it felt like to get pulled into the media/DOJ narrative machine. Along the way, you’ll hear commentary on information ops, public trust, and why certain stories stay hot long after the facts are disputed.
