00:01:12Is this alleged oil agreement between the United States and Venezuela, the
00:01:16culmination of betrayal of Chavismo? So strap in as we

00:01:55He journalists told who questioned him, Mr. President, are you
00:01:59paranoid about? United States and Chavez presented the
00:02:02evidence as to why it
00:02:04of was not paranoia. He gave series of example.
00:02:07Jacobs through Hio, the president of
00:02:10Brazil, countless examples, but he told her,
00:02:15of here we have the largest oil reserves in the world. He gave her a whole
00:02:19of lesson. What
00:02:20of Chavez warned about has come to pass and now practically
00:02:24speaking many say that the Bolivarian Republic of
00:02:27Venezuela has
00:02:28of disappeared. tú no

00:03:31president, Delhi
00:03:33of Rodriguez, consists
00:03:34of the following: The United States will exploit 17 Venezuelan oil
00:03:38fields, 65 billion barrels of oil, nearly 22%
00:03:42of the largest reserves on the planet. Venezuela will
00:03:46of reactivate its production and
00:03:47of receive of technology and
00:03:49of investment of $100 billion dollars. According to the president, with
00:03:53a reference price of $65 per barrel of oil, Venezuela could
00:03:57receive $209 billion dollars. Trump says the pact
00:04:01will last 100 years.
00:04:03of Delcy of Rodriguez says it will be 25 years. Venezuela is signing
00:04:06contracts with oil giants such as Cheveren and Ennie. We are making
00:04:10history, the president says
00:04:12excitedly.
00:04:18Todo el sistema de protección social de nuestro pueblo se ha
00:04:21fortalecido
00:04:22a través de los beneficios que recibiremos con esta inversión que yo
00:04:26llamo el Renacer de Venezuela. Reivindico cada día.
00:04:52of
00:05:00writer, lawyer and sociologist. Antonio, I was listening to a
00:05:04program by Ariels in which Antonio
00:05:08Silva, a well-known Venezuelan journalist, said that in order
00:05:12to... understand this alleged oil agreement, we have to go
00:05:15back to what happened in January when President Maduro was
00:05:19kidnapped, he presents a scenario in which he practically
00:05:23infers an alleged betrayal by Delsi Rodriguez,
00:05:27the Rodriguez brother and others whom he does not name, but who
00:05:31are part the system, betrayal against
00:05:34Venezuela, what do you
00:05:36say? well, first of all, a
00:05:40big greeting and to the great. I had the good
00:05:43fortune to meet in 2018, he's the most
00:05:47universal Peruvian of today and all of Peru's history, it is
00:05:51an honor for me and for you, there may be no jealousy, but before Hector, I
00:05:55stand attention before the former foreign
00:05:57minister, no, I stand
00:06:01attention before him gorilla
00:06:02too, fighter in
00:06:07he was a Peru. That's why, that's why, that's why I extend attention before
00:06:11him among other. thinks general Velasko a great
00:06:14general? well, there is really one question that
00:06:18Mario Silva cannot answer, because nobody can answer it in the
00:06:22meeting held in Qatar in 2025, which were
00:06:26supposedly authorized by President Maduro, and in which
00:06:29Mrs. Delsey Rodriguez took part, what exactly was being cooked
00:06:33up there? nobody knows, but what has happened, what we can
00:06:37see objectively is that after January 3rd on the
00:06:41fourth, the fifth... And up to today, now that we are
00:06:44already in the month of September, Trump has destroyed the
00:06:48Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, there is no longer an independent
00:06:52Republic of Venezuela, there is no longer a constitution, there
00:06:55is no longer national assembly, Trump does whatever he
00:06:59wants, so much so that look, this oil agreement,
00:07:03Mrs. Delsi and Mr. Trump have said they did not negotiated with
00:07:07the secretary of petroleum and energy, whose name is Right, but with the
00:07:11Secretary of War. whom, i think is called etret or
00:07:15some barbaric scandinavian name that i cannot repeat and do not
00:07:19want to repeat. they negotiated it with the secretary of war and also
00:07:23with the far right figure who in principle has nothing to do with
00:07:26energy business named Marco Rubio. so what is being
00:07:30proposed in Venezuela today is an agreement not only to
00:07:34seize the oil reserves but to militarily occupied
00:07:38through the south command, the oil producing origin, the fields, the immense
00:07:42oil. of Venezuela, after they signed with the head
00:07:46of war, they sent Mr. Wright who resembles a great
00:07:49American marxist sociologist Sear Mills, but this one is
00:07:53simply an agent the multinationals, but he comes
00:07:57afterward, that is to say, it is highly suspicious when I say that
00:08:00there is no republic. I have just listened to Venezuela's leading oil
00:08:04expert whose name is Mendoza, Mendoza
00:08:08potella is the student the founder of OPEC the organization of.
00:08:21The thing is that now under pressure from Marco Rubio and Trump
00:08:25Venezuela is considering leaving OPEC an organization created by
00:08:29Venezuela. Last week I published an article about all the
00:08:32structures of Chavez's bolivarian revolution that this
00:08:36popet government, what a prominent French trade unionist
00:08:40is now calling pupet government. set out to destroy the bolivarian
00:08:44revolution, to destroy the central bank of Venezuela,
00:08:48which no longer receives the oil money to destroy the Supreme Court of
00:08:51Justice, and I know this perfectly well, because my former partner, who
00:08:55was a trusted employee the constitutional
00:08:59chamber the Supreme Court, has been practically forced into
00:09:03exile in Brazil, and her boss, the left-wing
00:09:07justice Luis Damiani has been expelled because it
00:09:10seems Rubio gave these people.
00:09:12list of loyal and democratic justices who had to be removed from the supreme
00:09:16court of justice, which is where law's president elections
00:09:20and other structures are ratified, the bulvarian militias have been
00:09:24also etc. etc. it is a truly dramatic
00:09:26situation,
00:09:35that
00:09:36but there is before suggestion of some kind, because some people say no, they put gun to
00:09:40Delhi Rodriguez head and... then they said, well, there's
00:09:44other choice, we have to do this. there is another version that for a
00:09:48long time she had been working for the
00:09:51CIA.
00:09:55i would say that version about the gun to the hand, i believe it until around march
00:09:59or april when they handed over Maduro's main economic
00:10:03associate to the FBI and the CIA and probably
00:10:07shady individual named, and from that point
00:10:11i understood that...
00:10:12this business about a gun to the head was a trick, i don't believe it, and the
00:10:16question is from what moment did the national betrayal
00:10:20begin, from what moment, was it done before or did it happen
00:10:24afterward because? all the information I have is that the orders
00:10:27received by the grassroots members the PSUV, the
00:10:31patriots who had committed themselves militarily and the foreign
00:10:35ministry officials, and I myself was twice an official the
00:10:39Venezuelan foreign ministery, and I trained Venezuelan diplomats
00:10:43at the Diplomatic Academy called the Pedroag Institute
00:10:47of Advanced Diplomatic Studies. I have my sources, the orders
00:10:50given to the militia and including my former partner who is in exile in...
00:11:07already suspended his program
00:11:08and
00:11:21they have he literally said we cannot afford to make Mr. Donald
00:11:25Trump angry at this moment.
00:11:28That is what Mario Silva said: "Hector, in your
00:11:31opinion, what are we dealing with in this alleged oil agreement,
00:11:35which is practically the chronicle of
00:11:38a robbery foretold by the pirate Donald Trump, but as
00:11:42we are hearing from Jose Antonio Aguido, with internal
00:11:45collaboration with the fifth column within Chavismo. Con
00:11:49una quinta columna dentro del
00:11:51chavismo. Bueno, primero.
00:12:06my absolute solidarity with the Bolivarian Republic of
00:12:09Venezuela, which has been kidnapped by the United States,
00:12:13my protest against the kidnapping of a president the republic,
00:12:17Nicolas Maduro, and my condemnation the threats
00:12:21against Latin America. My country, Peru is also.
00:12:25threatened by the same thing, and I believe we have to be careful when analyzing
00:12:28Venezuela's current and complex situation. What I have been
00:12:32following, through the unfortunately limited information provided by the
00:12:36press, is that Mr. Trump, who operates directly with the
00:12:39consortium, monopoly, or apparatus, whatever one wishes
00:12:43to call it, the United States Military or Complex, has the
00:12:47desperate mission of seasing Venezuela's oil. Trump
00:12:51is not interested in the Chavesters, the Rodriguez family.
00:12:55or anyone else, what he wants is to have Venezuela's oil
00:12:59in his hands and now he has it, but of course, since Trump
00:13:03is psychopath and also a man who is absolutely
00:13:06inefficient and ignorant, he has chosen the most complicated
00:13:10path even within the United States, why? because the
00:13:14very sanctions promoted against Venezuela since the first Trump
00:13:17administration have meant that Venezuela's oil industry is now
00:13:21practically destroyed. To begin with, Venezuela's
00:13:25Oil, as it is called, is heavy crude. It is difficult to
00:13:29refine and requires special technologies and
00:13:32refineries. Those refineries have been shut down for many months
00:13:35and are not operational. And when Trump, for the first
00:13:39and second time, called on American companies to take charge the robbery he
00:13:43wants to hand over to them, the spoils he has stolen, that
00:13:47is, Venezuela's oil reserves. He encountered an extremely
00:13:50cautious attitude from the companies. Why? Because getting.
00:13:55oil industry back its feet and operational at this point
00:13:59requires a massive investment that nobody is willing to
00:14:02make, so Trump has had to create, illegally, as
00:14:06with everything he does, a special productive apparatus
00:14:10independent the American private productive apparatus
00:14:14the oil companies and dependent on the
00:14:16pentagon. At this moment, the Pentagon has oil companies
00:14:20in the process of being created, but that is
00:14:23unconstitutional.
00:14:25United States, it is illegal, therefore, that will also require
00:14:29a series of bureaucratic procedures and will create
00:14:33problems that Trump has now also brought upon himself within the
00:14:36United States. In other words, Trump's entire
00:14:40supposed triumph in stealing Venezuela's oil has
00:14:44practically become a question mark now that it has had to be put into
00:14:48practice, and we still have to see how far it will
00:14:51go, and of course I have to say that, like all of you.
00:14:55all of us, my information is very limited, and what i am saying is by
00:14:59no means conclusive, nor does it have the quality of a
00:15:02conclusion, because i am not in a position to draw one. what
00:15:06i am seeing from my country are the problems this is
00:15:08creating, and that is the situation Venezuela
00:15:12finds itself in at this moment. now i condemn even
00:15:16more than the attitude the Venezuelans about which i still reserve
00:15:19judgment until i have studied it further, the attitude of Latin
00:15:23America, because how is... possible that Latin America is capable
00:15:27of allowing a president to be kidnapped, a Latin American president
00:15:31kidnapped, and how is it possible that Latin America is allowing
00:15:35this to happen just as in Argentina? just as in Bolivia
00:15:39and now just as in Peru, so we must also be aware
00:15:42the political weakness of our region, the weakness of our political
00:15:46choices and the inability, which, as we know, is
00:15:50also historically rooted in Latin America, datting back to
00:15:54its very origins, to confront the United States
00:15:57militarily. I'm not advocating a war any way, but I
00:16:01say this, if they kidnap your president, well, I suppose
00:16:05some president in Latin America...
00:16:37from Venezuela, and I do not dare call anyone a
00:16:40traitor. I could not call anyone a traiter if I did not have
00:16:44a weapon in my hands and we're not defending Venezuela at the
00:16:48front, and it is a country that at this moment, has to
00:16:52choose either to put up a Vietnam style resistance, which is what we
00:16:56all expected, isn't it? Or to prostrate itself before the
00:16:59United States and become yet another victim, like the many
00:17:03there have been throughout the history of Latin America at the hands of...
00:17:24he publicly
00:17:24said please, we should have taken Venezuela, and now we're buying oil from
00:17:28dictator, a clear reference to Nicholas Maduro. In
00:17:31other words, it is the chronicle of a disposession
00:17:35foretold, he said it himself and now in the following term,
00:17:39well we are seeing it, but in this context we see the role the
00:17:42Pentagon, which at this moment has taken control of Venezuelan
00:17:46oil, but the Pentagon and the United States military are
00:17:49carrying out an Israel military integration that
00:17:53according to Israel is meant to be irreversible. what would be
00:17:57the role of zionism or Israel in this entire
00:18:00scenario, which Hector has already described:
00:18:04Colombia, where at the inauguration of this new
00:18:07president, the rabbi goes and shouts long live colombia
00:18:11and long live Israel, melee and Argentina, here in
00:18:15Mexico, they have just authorized a new political party called
00:18:19Paz, led by a man who is in Morana, the
00:18:23left-wing Morena party, and they have granted him this new
00:18:26party. He has openly traveled to Israel and returned to say,
00:18:30our objective is to promote international policies to
00:18:34support Israel, this man is named Hugo.
00:18:41all of this
00:18:45what do you
00:19:02going to focus on Venezuela, in Venezuela president chavez
00:19:06ordered the expulsion. the Israeli embassy in
00:19:09retaliation for one the many criminal operations
00:19:12organized
00:19:13by the zionist regime against the palestinian population which at
00:19:17the time was called cast lead. i myself
00:19:21something like that, i don't remember. now after trump, after the
00:19:24invasion, not only by the pentagon but by the CIA,
00:19:28the FBI southern command, which is the pentagon, the
00:19:32American companies, Marco Rubio, and so on and so
00:19:36forth, a group of military. personnel has come, taken advantage the
00:19:39tragedy the earthquake, especially in laguera, and look
00:19:43at how cynical these zits are, because President Chavez called
00:19:47them genocidal, they sent as the military chief of that
00:19:51delegation of supposed rescuers, the military officer who had
00:19:55led operation cast lead, the one whom president Chavez
00:19:58accused of being genocidal in 2007, no,
00:20:02perhaps 2008, I don't remember exactly, in my Spanish that is
00:20:06called. forcing the Venezuelan people to
00:20:09swallow the same hand in hand with Trump, when the Venezuelan
00:20:13people, let me say we, because I am Venezuelan, this is my
00:20:17Venezuelan id card, my id, and it says Venezuelan here,
00:20:21I do not speak from abroad, yes, I am abroad, but my heart
00:20:25and my political activism throughout my adult life have been in
00:20:29Venezuela, when we throw Trump out, designers will go with
00:20:33them, designers came with Trump, they will leave when we throw out
00:20:37Trump.
00:20:50is President when Fujimori fell in Peru, he was replaced by
00:20:53Toledo, now
00:20:54who a former president in prison, had the Massad in the palace
00:20:58in the government palace, and in Peru, as we all
00:21:01know, we had massacre in which more than 60 people died
00:21:05after the removal of President Castillo, they killed them for
00:21:09protesting, shooting them in the body, and those weapons and those
00:21:13rifles were Israeli, so Israel's relationship with the
00:21:17United States as well as Israel's own. are
00:21:21absolutely clear, and as I repeat, the Washington tell
00:21:24aviv access in my opinion, is equivalent to the Berlin,
00:21:28Tokyo, axis the second world war. We are living through
00:21:32neonarcism in the 21st century, and I believe that what we have
00:21:36to discuss with great concern is how, just as our grandparents or our
00:21:40parents had to confront that kind of political, repressive and
00:21:44criminal phenomenon, we and our children will have to confront a
00:21:47new phenomenon of that kind with.
00:22:50the Latin American people is allowing the criminal kidnapping of a
00:22:54president by mafia gang on the basis of an unfounded
00:22:58accusation, because they have now already said that the
00:23:01accusation against Maduro amounts to nothing, the cartal the sons
00:23:05does not exist, it is the weakness of all humanity, especially
00:23:09since the fall the Soviet Union, which was the only force equipped with
00:23:13nuclear weapons capable of imposing respect for international
00:23:16law. Look, this Trump the Democratic. Republic
00:23:20of Korea, on the one hand, Marco Rubio
00:23:23sps everyday an anti-communism more primitive than anything one could
00:23:27imagine, but Trump speaks well the president the Korean people,
00:23:31why? because Korea has nuclear
00:23:33weapons.
00:23:37Well, once again, many thanks to our guests who have provided
00:23:41truly important information for understanding what is happening not
00:23:45only in Venezuela, but I would say across the Latin American
00:23:49region. Thank you for being with us on Grengo and I
00:24:06Saudi Arabia thought it could bypass hormos. It thought its
00:24:10pipelines, its American weapons and its strategic partnerships could keep
00:24:14the oil flowing and the kingdom insulated from the consequences of
00:24:17regional war, but that careful. constructed illusion is now
00:24:21cracking. this week we examine how strikes have forced the shutdown
00:24:25of riyadh's crucial east-west bipeline while Yemen's armed
00:24:29forces and ansarulah are rapidly reshaping the strategic
00:24:33equation around Babel Mandib. KSA's oil
00:24:37bypass backfires this week on the mide
00:24:40estream.
00:24:55For a man who built his entire political persona
00:24:58on invincibility and dominance, Donald
00:25:02Trump's recent behavior tells a very different
00:25:06story behind the bravado and the threats of
00:25:09decimating an entire nation, he's a president reportedly
00:25:13consumed by fear for his own life, and the roots of that
00:25:17fear trace directly back to decision he made, himself, I'm
00:25:21Alira. and this is
00:25:23inachel.
00:25:37To understand why Trump is so preoccupied with his own
00:25:40mortality, we have to go back to January of 2020, when
00:25:44he personally ordered the drone strike that assassinated
00:25:48General Qasim Sulaymani. in Baghdad, Trump
00:25:52himself has acknowledged that he believes he has been on
00:25:55Iran's kill list ever since, as he told the New York
00:25:59post in July of 2026, "I've been number one for..." a long time and
00:26:03it's the way life is, you know, that admission has not
00:26:07stopped Trump from taking extraordinary measures to protect himself. In
00:26:11July 2026, at the NATO summit in Ankara Turkia, US
00:26:15officials orchestrated an elaborate deception operation, reportedly switching
00:26:19Trump off of Air Force One and onto different aircraft after
00:26:23intelligence suggested Iran had identified his hotel, his
00:26:27motorcate routes and was considering a shoulder mounted missile
00:26:30strike on his plane. Reuters. lated reported that US intelligence could
00:26:34not independently verify the specific plot, but the secret service
00:26:38still moved him out of caution, just this week on August 25,
00:26:422026, Iranian television reportedly aired a video
00:26:45linked to the revolutionary guards core claiming a $10
00:26:49million dollar bounty and appearing to threaten the life of
00:26:53Trump's own son, baron, the secret service confirmed, it is
00:26:57investigating. this latest incident is part of a
00:27:01longer pattern in March 2026, defense secretary Pete Hexath
00:27:05claimed a US air strike had killed an Iranian operative allegedly
00:27:08tied to a plot against Trump, declaring that Iran attempted to
00:27:12assassinate President Trump and President Trump has ultimately had the last
00:27:16laugh. Around the same time, a New York courtroom heard testimony in the
00:27:20trial of Assif Merchant, a Pakistani national accused of plotting on
00:27:23Iran's behalf to assassinate Trump. A scheme prosecutors say was
00:27:27sketched out a napkin a budget
00:27:29motel. Faced with he describes as a
00:27:33persistent threat to his life, Trump has responded not
00:27:37with quiet security measures alone, but with
00:27:41public threats of mass destruction. In July 2026, he
00:27:45posted that 1,0 missiles are locked and loaded and aimed at the
00:27:48Islamic Republic of Iran with thousands more to
00:27:51immediately follow, should Tehran act on what he called
00:27:55its threat to assassinate him. It is worth
00:27:59pausing on the sheer imbalance of that state. a president
00:28:03who ordered the extrajudicial killing of foreign general on
00:28:07foreign soil is now threatening to completely decimate and
00:28:11destroy all areas of an entire nation, over intelligence that
00:28:14his own government admits it is not able to verify, whether or not
00:28:18every alleged plot is real, the pattern is unmistakable. the
00:28:22man who once boasted of hunting down Iran's commanders now
00:28:26lives behind switched planes, secret motor cade routes and secret service
00:28:30warnings about videos threatening his own. Trump wanted
00:28:34a war he assumed would be fought entirely on
00:28:37someone else's soil with someone else
00:28:41absorbing the cost the war. Instead, five years after ordering
00:28:44general Sulaimani's assassination, he finds himself the one
00:28:48glancing over his shoulder.
00:28:50It is fitting if uncomfortable lesson for any leader who believes that
00:28:54violence abroad carries no consequences at
00:28:57home. The machinery of imperial aggression rarely
00:29:01stays contained to The battlefield it was built
00:29:04for.
