It was revealed over this past weekend that Marco Rubio is effectively serving as the president, not of the United States, thank God, but of Venezuela. A massive New York Times report came out detailing Marco Rubio's dayto-day role as what they're calling the viceroy of Venezuela. But when you read about his duties, um, the guy actually seems like the dictator of Venezuela because Marco Rubio is in charge of the federal government, but most importantly, Marco Rubio, of course, is in charge of all of the finances coming from Venezuela. All of the revenue generated in that country runs now through Marco Rubio. One of the dumbest human beings that the United States has to offer is controlling 100% of the country's finances through the United States Department of Treasury because part of our uh you know overthrow of the country means we get all of their money in the US Treasury. So Venezuela gets nothing right now. They have nothing other than what Marco Rubio says they can have each month. It is, as critics have described, effectively a parent giving their child a monthly allowance. Let me read you this. Rubio effectively controls Venezuela's finances, the distribution of its natural resources, and its government and is deeply involved in the country's day-to-day operations while maintaining regular contact with acting Venezuelan President Deli Rodriguez. The US Treasury Department takes in revenue from Venezuela's exports, including its petroleum, and then disperses the money back to the country through its private banks with strict conditions set by Rubio over what it can be spent on.

So, not only does Rubio say, "Okay, fine. I'll give you, you know, $10 million this month." But you can only spend that $10 million on these four things. And maybe this month it'll be three things or eight things. Who knows? But the United States Secretary of State

is running a foreign country. It's a colony. Venezuela is now a United States colony. They have no autonomy. They don't even control their own finances. a figure head is in charge of the country from Venezuela, but we're secretly running it behind the scenes, hoping that nobody's going to notice. Th this this is insanity, folks. This is utter insanity that this is happening. And I fear for what is going to happen to Venezuela with such a a dunce, to put it nicely, you know, running their country for them. A man who doesn't understand anything anywhere for any reason. But Venezuela is now officially a US colony. You can call it what you want, but that doesn't change what it actually is. We are running that country. Marco Rubio is their uh president operating in the shadows. And of course, since he's involved in the day-to-day operations of the country, that means that things here in the United States and relations with other foreign countries are going neglected, which may explain why things in uh Iran continue to go so badly for the United States.
