    ep.113 Venezuela invasion, Documentary review, Mamdani inauguration

    We react to the U.S. invasion of Venezuela, kidnapping of Maduro, the U.S. media narratives, and the potential geopolitical fallout from this attack — including how it affects the Middle East. We then get to a review of "The Feeling of Being Watched" -- a documentary that we've been meaning to get to for a while about the surveilance state's targeting of U.S. Muslims/Arabs. We end on a quick reflection on the Mamdani inauguration.
