2026 is off to an explosive start, with President Trump’s arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.

The Spectacle Podcast hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay unpack what Maduro’s arrest means for America, Venezuela, and the rest of the world. They explain how the Cuban regime has exploited Venezuela’s natural resources and ripped off the Venezuelan people. Melissa and Scott also debunk Democrats’ false allegations against the operation and bring up the legal precedent behind the arrest of Maduro. Now that Maduro’s out, what does that mean for the economic future of Venezuela, China, Russia, and Iran?
