00:00:00Saudi airports, including Ababa International Airport came under
00:00:03attack. This was nothing new. The
00:00:07Yemini Resistance movement has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to
00:00:10reach deep inside Saudi Arabia. In
00:00:14September 2019, its drone strike on the apkaik and
00:00:17kurase oil facilities exposed the vulnerability of Saudi
00:00:21Aramco despite billions of dollars worth of American-made air defense
00:00:25systems. Now the resistance movement warns that any new
00:00:29attack on infrastructure could bring even
00:00:32more strategic targets into range, including the vital
00:00:35oil facilities at yanbu. Today,
00:00:38more than 70% of Saudi oil exports bypass the straight of
00:00:42Hormus through pipelines to Yanbu on the Red Sea, but from
00:00:46there they must still pass through the Bob Almandab
00:00:49straight. If that route is closed, Saudi Arabia's
00:00:52alternative export corridor disappears. Ansarula
00:00:56has already shown it can disrupt one of the world's busiest maritime choke points.
00:01:00Since the outbreak of the Gaza War in 2023, it has launched
00:01:04attacks in the Red Sea, declaring that it would target vessels linked
00:01:08to Israel in support of the Palestinians.
00:01:12The Red Sea operations have forced major shipping companies to re-root
00:01:15around Southern Africa, increased global transport costs
00:01:19and pushed Israel's southern port of ilot, the brink of
00:01:22collapse. If both the straight of Hormus and Bob
00:01:26Almandab were closed at the same time, nearly a quarter of the... the world's
00:01:30oil and gas supply and almost 1/3ird of global container
00:01:34traffic could be affected. oil prices could soare toward
00:01:37$200 per barrel, while Europe's energy security would face
00:01:41severe
00:01:42Berlin-Tokyo axis of pressure. for Antarula, Yemen is not
00:01:45merely another battlefield, it is a strategic front with the
00:01:49power to reshape the global
00:01:50economy.
00:01:53the axis of resistance still holds powerful strategic cards in
00:01:56reserve, cards that once played, could leave
00:02:00even America unable to respond despite all its military
00:02:04might,
00:02:13este supuesto acuerdo is this alleged oil agreement between the
00:02:17United States and Venezuela, the culmination of betrayal of
00:02:20Chavismo, so strap in as we start today's
00:02:24Gringo.
00:02:33we're buying oil from a
00:02:44against the kidnapping of a president of
00:03:00"mister president, are you paranoid about the united states and
00:03:04chavez presented the evidence as to why it was not
00:03:07paranoia. he gave series of example, Jakobo
00:03:11Arbans, through Ho, the president of Brazil,
00:03:14countless examples, but he told her, here we have the
00:03:18largest oil reserves in the world, he gave her a whole
00:03:21lesson. what Chavez warned about has come to pass and
00:03:25now, practically speaking, many say that the Balivarian
00:03:29Republic..."
00:03:32Bolivarian Republic of
00:03:35Mills, but this one is simply an agent of Venezuela.
00:03:38But you don't see, you don't see the
00:03:41glowing terms about the president of threat that the US empire poses to us. Why do you think the US wants
00:03:44to attack Venezuela? Well, there's recent
00:03:47history. I'm going to tell you the most important
00:03:51imagine, but Trump speaks well of Mendoza Potella is the student of reason here: Right here are the largest
00:03:55oil reserves on this planet. Are you paranoid about
00:03:58the United States? In a way, I'm just being realistic.
00:04:02ordered the expulsion of
00:04:18There are also other Venezuelans, men and
00:04:19thousands of people to close the embassy of women, who yearn to
00:04:22have their own home, to have their own housing. What
00:04:26we are doing is for the development of the country, but above all for...
00:04:32The agreement announced by Trump and Venezuela's acting president,
00:04:35Delhi Rodriguez, consists of the following: The
00:04:39Better than United States will exploit 17
00:04:44personnel has come, taken advantage of private productive apparatus of Venezuelan oil fields, 65 billion barrels of oil, nearly 22% of the largest reserves on the planet. Venezuela will
00:04:48reactivate its production and receive technology and investment of
00:04:52$100 billion dollars. According to the
00:04:54president, with a reference price of $65 per barrel of
00:04:58oil, Venezuela could receive $209
00:05:00billion. Trump says the pact will last 100
00:05:04years. Delsey Rodriguez says it will be 25 years.
00:05:08Venezuela is signing contracts with oil giants such as Cheverin and Ennie.
00:05:20The entire social protection system for our people has
00:05:24been strengthened through the benefits we will receive with
00:05:27this investment, which I call the rebirth of Venezuela. I
00:05:31increasingly vindicate the channel and the political-diplomatic
00:05:35dialogue with the United States of America and with
00:05:38the countries of the world.
00:06:05Antonio, I was listening to a program by
00:06:07Ariel Impieres in which Antonio Silva, a
00:06:11well-known Venezuelan journalist, said that in order
00:06:15to understand this alleged oil agreement, we have to go
00:06:18back to what happened in January when President
00:06:21Maduro was kidnapped. He presents a scenario in which
00:06:25he practically infers an alleged betrayal by Delhi
00:06:29Rodriguez, the Rodriguez brother and others,
00:06:32whom he does not name, but who are part of the
00:06:35system, a betrayal against Venezuela. What do you
00:06:39say?
00:06:42A big greeting to you, Ruben, and to the great Hector, whom I had the good
00:06:46fortune to meet in Caracas in 2018. He's the most
00:06:50universal Peruvian of today and all of Peru's history. It is
00:06:54an honor for me, and for you, there may be no jealousy, but before Hector
00:06:58I stand at attention before the former foreign
00:07:00minister.
00:07:03No, I stand at attention before him too. He was a
00:07:06guerrilla fighter in
00:07:07Peru.
00:07:10That's why, that's why that's why I stand at attention before him,
00:07:14among other things. General Velasco, a great
00:07:17general. Well, there is really one question that
00:07:21Mario Silva cannot answer, because nobody can answer it: in the
00:07:25meeting held in Qatar in 2025, which
00:07:28were supposedly authorized by President Maduro and in
00:07:32which Mrs. Dels Rodriguez took part, what exactly was being
00:07:36cooked up there? Nobody knows. But what has
00:07:38happened, what we can see objectively, is that after
00:07:42January 3rd, on the 4th, the 5th, and up to
00:07:45today, now that we are already in the month of September, Trump has
00:07:49destroyed the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. There is no
00:07:53longer an independent Republic of Venezuela. There is no longer a
00:07:57constitution. There is no longer a national assembly.
00:08:01Trump does whatever he wants. So much so
00:08:04that look, this oil agreement, Mrs. Delsey and Mr.
00:08:07Trump have said they did not negotiate with the Secretary of
00:08:10Petroleum and Energy whose name is right, but with the
00:08:14Secretary of War, and also with the far-right figure who in
00:08:17principle has nothing to do with energy business, named
00:08:21Marco Rubio. So what is being proposed in Venezuela today is an
00:08:25agreement not only to seize the oil
00:08:28reserves, but to militarily occupy, through the South
00:08:31Command, the oil-producing region, the fields, the immense oil fields
00:08:35of Venezuela. After they signed with the head of
00:08:39war, they sent Mr. Wright, who resembles the great
00:08:42American Marxist sociologist C. Wright
00:08:47the multinationals. But he comes afterward. That is to
00:08:51say, it is highly suspicious. When I say that there is no
00:08:54republic, I have just listened to Venezuela's leading oil
00:08:57expert whose name is Mendoza Potella.
00:09:03the founder of OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting
00:09:06Countries. He was an ADICO named Perez
00:09:09Alonso, I mean, Acción Democrática, a major Venezuelan
00:09:13political party. The thing is that now, under pressure from
00:09:16Marco Rubio and Trump, Venezuela is considering leaving OPEC, an
00:09:20organization created by Venezuela. Last week I
00:09:23published an article about all the structures of Chavez's
00:09:27Bolivarian Revolution that this puppet government, what a
00:09:31prominent French trade unionist is now calling a puppet
00:09:34government, has set out to destroy the Bolivarian
00:09:37Revolution, to destroy the Central Bank of
00:09:40Venezuela, which no longer receives oil money, to destroy
00:09:43the Supreme Court of Justice, and I know this perfectly well
00:09:47because my former partner, who was a trusted
00:09:50employee of the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme
00:09:54Court, has been practically forced into exile
00:09:57in Brazil, and her boss, the left-wing
00:10:00justice Luis Damiani, has been expelled because it
00:10:03seems Rubio gave these people a list of loyal and democratic
00:10:07justices who had to be removed from the Supreme Court of Justice, which is
00:10:11where law's president.
00:10:25I'm going to interrupt you to turn to Hector, but before that,
00:10:28there is a suggestion of some kind, because some people say, no, they put
00:10:32a gun to Delhi Rodriguez's head, and then they
00:10:35said, well, there's no other choice, we have to do this. There
00:10:39is another version that for a long time she had been
00:10:42working for the
00:10:43CIA.
00:10:48I would say that version about the gun to the hand, I believe it's until around
00:10:52March or April, when they handed over Maduro's main
00:10:55economic associate to the FBI and the
00:10:58CIA and probably a shady individual
00:11:01named, and from that point on, I
00:11:04understood that this business about a gun to the head was a trick. I
00:11:08don't believe it. And the question is from what moment did the
00:11:11national betrayal begin? From what moment? Was it done
00:11:15before or did it happen afterwards? Because all the
00:11:18information I have is that the orders received by the
00:11:21grassroots members of the PSUV, the pay
00:11:33Ministry, and I trained Venezuelan diplomats at the Diplomatic
00:11:37Academy called the Pedro Goal Institute of Advanced
00:11:40Diplomatic Studies. I have my sources. The orders given to the
00:11:44militia and including my former partner who is in exile in
00:11:47Brazil and to my comrades at the Foreign Ministry were: do
00:11:51not lift a finger, do not respond, do not use your weapons.
00:11:55That very same day, the 3rd, and that is what comrade Mario
00:11:58Silva says, they gave us the order not to fire on the
00:12:02criminals.
00:12:11And indeed, they have already suspended his program,
00:12:14and he literally said, we cannot afford to make Mr. Donald
00:12:18Trump angry at this moment. That is what
00:12:21Mario Silva said. Hector, in your opinion,
00:12:25what are we dealing with in this alleged oil agreement, which is
00:12:28practically the chronicle of a robbery foretold
00:12:32by the pirate Donald Trump, but as we are hearing from Jose
00:12:36Antonio Aguido, with internal collaboration, with the
00:12:39fifth column within Chavismo? With a fifth
00:12:43column within
00:12:44Chavismo. Well, first
00:12:48greetings to... Well, first of all,
00:12:52greetings everyone and also to those... and listening
00:12:55to us. The first thing I have to say is that I express my
00:12:59absolute solidarity with the Bolivarian Republic of
00:13:02Venezuela, which has been kidnapped by the United
00:13:05States. My protest
00:13:09the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and my
00:13:12condemnation of the threats against Latin
00:13:14America. My country, Peru, is also threatened by the
00:13:18same thing, and I believe we have to be careful when analyzing Venezuela's
00:13:22current and complex situation. What I have
00:13:25been following, through the unfortunately limited information provided by the
00:13:28press, is that Mr. Trump operates directly with
00:13:32the consortium, monopoly, or apparatus, whatever one
00:13:35wishes to call it, of the United States military, or complex,
00:13:39that has the desperate mission of seizing Venezuela's
00:13:42oil. Trump is not interested in the
00:13:45Chavistas, the Rodríguez family, or anyone
00:13:48else. What he wants is to have Venezuela's oil in his hands,
00:13:52and now he has it, but of course...
00:14:25refineries. Those refineries have been shut down for many months and
00:14:29are not operational. And when Trump, for the first and second
00:14:32time, called on American companies to take charge of the robbery he
00:14:36wants to hand over to them, the spoils he has stolen, that
00:14:40is, Venezuela's oil reserves, he encountered an
00:14:43extremely cautious attitude from the companies. Why?
00:14:46Because getting Venezuela's oil industry back on its feet and
00:14:50operational at this point requires a massive investment
00:14:54that nobody is
00:14:56willing to make. So Trump has had to create, illegally, as with everything he
00:15:00does, a special productive apparatus
00:15:03independent of the American
00:15:06the oil companies and dependent on the
00:15:09Pentagon. At this moment, the Pentagon has oil companies
00:15:13in the process of being created, but that is
00:15:16unconstitutional in the United States. It is
00:15:19illegal. Therefore, that will also require a series of
00:15:23bureaucratic procedures and will create problems that Trump
00:15:27has now also brought upon himself within the United
00:15:30States. In other words, Trump's entire
00:15:33supposed triumph in stealing Venezuela's oil has practically
00:15:37become a question mark now that it has had to be put into
00:15:40practice, and we still have to see how far it will
00:15:44go. And of course, I have to say that, like all of you and
00:15:48all of us, my information is very limited, and what I am saying
00:15:51is by no means conclusive, nor does it have the
00:15:54quality of a conclusion, because I am not in a position to draw
00:15:58one. What I am seeing from my country are the problems this is
00:16:01creating, and that is the situation Venezuela finds
00:16:05itself in at this moment.
00:16:08Now I condemn, even more than the attitude of the Venezuelans,
00:16:11about which I still reserve judgment until I have studied it further, the
00:16:15attitude of Latin America, because how is it possible that Latin
00:16:18America is capable of allowing a president to be kidnapped? A
00:16:22Latin American president kidnapped, and how is it
00:16:25possible that Latin America is allowing this to happen, just as
00:16:29in Argentina, just as in Bolivia, and now just as in
00:16:32Peru? So we must also be aware of the political
00:16:36weakness of our region.
00:18:07have taken Venezuela, and now
00:18:11dictator in a clear reference to Nicolás
00:18:13Maduro. In other words, it is the chronicle of a
00:18:17dispossession foretold. He said it himself, and now in the
00:18:21following term, well, we are seeing it. But in this context, we
00:18:24see the role of the Pentagon, which at this moment has taken
00:18:28control of Venezuelan oil, but the Pentagon and the United States
00:18:31military are carrying out an Israel military
00:18:35integration that, according to Israel, is meant to be
00:18:38irreversible. What would be the role of Zionism or Israel
00:18:42in this entire scenario, which Hector has already
00:18:46described? Colombia, where at the inauguration
00:18:49of this new president, Rabbi goes and
00:18:52shouts, long live Colombia and long live
00:18:55Israel, Miley and Argentina. Here in
00:18:58Mexico, they have just authorized a new political party called
00:19:02Paz, led by a man who is in Morena, the
00:19:05left-wing Morena party. And they have granted him this new
00:19:09party. He has openly traveled to Israel and returned to
00:19:13say our objective is to promote
00:19:15international. My reflections are out of place. What do you think? Are my
00:19:18reflections out of place or how
00:19:21do you see it?
00:19:26Well, I'm not going to talk about Israel throughout the entire world, its
00:19:29foreign policy in Latin America, the Caribbean, the North Pole or the
00:19:33South. In short, I'm going to focus on Venezuela. In
00:19:36Venezuela, President Chavez
00:19:40the Israeli embassy in retaliation for one of the many
00:19:44criminal operations organized by the Zionist regime
00:19:47against the Palestinian population, which at the time was
00:19:50called Cast Lead. I myself took part in a demonstration with
00:19:56the Zionist regime, which was located in the east of the city.
00:20:00It was in 2008 or 2009, something like
00:20:04that, I don't remember. Now after Trump, after the invasion, not
00:20:08only by the Pentagon, but by the CIA, the
00:20:11FBI, Southern Command, which is the Pentagon,
00:20:14the American companies, Marco Rubio, and so on
00:20:18and so forth, a group of military
00:20:22the tragedy of the earthquake, especially in La Guaira, and
00:20:26look at how cynical these Zionists are, because President
00:20:29Chavez called them genocidal, they sent
00:20:32as the military chief of that delegation of supposed rescuers,
00:20:36the military officer who had led Operation Cast
00:20:39Lead, the one whom President Chavez accused of being
00:20:42genocidal in 2007, no, perhaps
00:20:452008, I don't remember exactly. In my Spanish, that is
00:20:48called forcing the Venezuelan people to
00:20:52swallow the audacity they had in calling them genocidal, which
00:20:56is what they are, and in closing their embassy. What, let me tell
00:21:00you one thing and to sum up regarding Venezuela, designs came
00:21:03hand in hand with Trump. When the Venezuelan people, let me say we,
00:21:07because I am Venezuelan, this is my Venezuelan ID
00:21:11card, my ID, and it says Venezuelan here. I do not speak
00:21:14from abroad. Yes, I am abroad, but my heart and
00:21:18my political activism through my adult life have been in
00:21:22Venezuela. When we throw Trump out, these will go with
00:21:25him. The Zionists came with Trump, they will leave when we throw
00:21:29out Trump and what Trump
00:21:30represents.
00:21:37We know that there has existed a Washington-Tel Aviv
00:21:40axis for a long time, and we know that
00:21:43Israel is a tremendously active country, not just now. In Peru,
00:21:47for example, we have had a president who worked with Israel. In the year
00:21:512000, Toledo became president, when Fujimori
00:21:54fell in Peru, he was replaced by Toledo, who is now a former president
00:21:58in prison, had the Mossad in the palace, in the government
00:22:01palace, and in Peru, as we all know, we
00:22:05had a massacre in which more than 60 people died after the
00:22:08removal of President Castillo, they killed them
00:22:11for protesting, shooting them in the body, and those weapons
00:22:15and those rifles were Israeli. So
00:22:18Israel's relationship with the United States, as well as Israel's own
00:22:22objectives, are absolutely clear, and as I
00:22:25repeat, the Washington-Tel Aviv axis, in my
00:22:28opinion, is equivalent to the
00:22:32the Second World War. We are living through
00:22:35neo-Nazism in the 21st century, and I believe that what we
00:22:38have to discuss with great concern is how, just as our grandparents or
00:22:42our parents had to confront that kind of political, repressive, and
00:22:46criminal phenomenon, we and our children will have to.
00:23:20contrast struck me as powerful. It is basically an
00:23:23instrument of big capital for imposing itself on the
00:23:26peoples.
00:23:31So you have provided some very interesting information.
00:23:44As the minister, minister, the guerrilla fighter, and the sociologist Hector has said,
00:23:47and I, a sociologist myself, so we are
00:23:50colleagues, the great weakness of the Latin American
00:23:54people is allowing the criminal kidnapping of a president
00:23:57by a mafia gang on the basis of an unfounded
00:24:00accusation, because they have now already said that the
00:24:04accusation against Maduro amounts to nothing. The cartel of the suns
00:24:08does not exist. It is the weakness of all humanity, especially
00:24:12since the fall of the Soviet Union, which was the only force equipped with
00:24:15nuclear weapons capable of imposing respect for
00:24:19international law. Look, this Trump, who is also a little
00:24:22crazy, apart from all the other things and interests that inhabit his
00:24:26mind, does not get along very well, and yet he speaks in
00:24:31the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. On the one
00:24:34hand, Marco Rubio spouts everyday an anti-communism
00:24:38more primitive than anything one could
00:24:41the president of the Korean people. Why? Because
00:24:44Korea has nuclear
00:24:45weapons.
00:24:50Well, once again, many thanks to our guests who have provided
00:24:53truly important information for understanding what is
00:24:56happening not only in Venezuela, but I would say across
00:25:00the Latin American region. Thank you for being with us on Gringo, and
00:25:04I hope to see you again on another occasion.
00:25:20The Arab countries have made our lives unbearable, you know?
00:25:24And the difficult times affect us too, and this life of charity is not helping.
00:25:27They say the tent is good.
00:25:29what I understood.
00:25:31The Qatari, on the contrary, the Qatari and the shelters, all of them are not
00:25:35useful. No one has anything but
00:25:37his home.
00:25:41constantly, you know, in her interview she is calling out to them, "Come and see our lives, you know, come
00:25:45and save us." Of course, they don't do anything, they are
00:25:48complicated. I think they put themselves in a situation
00:25:52where the whole of their economy is based on rich people coming and living there
00:25:55in their countries. So once you've got that situation
00:25:59that even though they have defense, but they're not military countries.
00:26:32he was criticizing, but there was no one to stop him. Then he came out of the
00:26:36agreement. If
00:26:40he had a complaint, he would tell the Prime Minister of
00:26:44Pakistan and the Emir of Qatar, because these two people were the dispute
00:26:47resolution committee. We are now pursuing diplomacy
00:26:50with guarantees. This means that, firstly,
00:26:54we have created
00:26:56conditions that will make Americans
00:26:59trust us.
00:27:05Until these initial conditions are met, we will not enter
00:27:08the second phase. When the Americans came and entered
00:27:12Iran's foreign policy instead of the British,
00:27:15after the coup against Mr.
00:27:19Mossadegh and the oil
00:27:22nationalization movement was destroyed by them, the Americans entered
00:27:26Iran's foreign policy then. From that time
00:27:29until today, the Americans have never fulfilled their commitments.
00:27:32The Americans also say that Iran cannot be trusted.
00:27:36Firstly, they are lying.
00:27:39We have never
00:27:41attacked any country. We have not
00:27:45questioned the political borders of other countries. We have
00:27:49fulfilled all our international commitments. Who
00:27:52withdrew from the JCPOA? America withdrew. They
00:27:56mean surrendering Iran when they say
00:27:59trusting. They equate trust with subservience.
00:28:02Well, if we trusted them, we would still want a
00:28:06guarantee. One of those guarantees is the Strait
00:28:09of Hormuz. We will commit when the
00:28:12Strait of Hormuz is open so that they
00:28:15don't sabotage and don't
00:28:18threaten
00:28:20Iran. That's why we came to
00:28:24stabilize this guarantee.
00:28:27We sat down with Oman and this plan has been
00:28:31finalized. The plan has been agreed upon and should be
