Keeping It Real: Conversations with Jillian Michaels

They told you it was about narco-terrorism. They told you it was about justice. They lied. The capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro isn't just a win for the DEA—it is a geopolitical earthquake involving oil, gold, silver, the war on terror, and a battle for global supremacy. In this explosive episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian Michaels sits down with Ex-CIA Covert Ops Officer Mike Baker (host of The President’s Daily Breif) and Constitutional Attorney Josh Hammer to reveal what the mainstream media and partisan pundits aren’t telling you. We strip away the headlines to expose the truth about what’s really going on, why, and what is likely to happen next: 🔥 INSIDE THIS EPISODE: PART 1: THE OPERATION & THE STRATEGY (w/ Mike Baker) The Intel: How the U.S. really pulled off the capture of Maduro (and the message it sends to Cuba and Iran.) Follow the Money: The role of Venezuela’s massive oil and gold reserves in the decision. The Adversaries: How Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba are reacting to losing their key ally in the Western Hemisphere. Checkmate or Chaos? Is this the move that forces Putin and Xi to the negotiating table, or have we just locked ourselves into another "Forever War” in the jungles of South America? PART 2: THE LAW & THE FALLOUT (w/ Josh Hammer) Legal Deep Dive: Did President Trump effectively break international law to get this done? The Precedent: Does this now open the door for China to take Taiwan? The Constitution: Is there any foundation for the domestic legal battles that are about to explode? The Verdict: Is there a loophole that could see Maduro walk free? This conversation goes beyond the "official story." If you want to understand the new rules of global power, you need to watch this.
