Our next guest here to weigh in on Venezuela leader, Nicholas, Maduro's ouster and the impact on oil, on crypto, as we were just discussing with commercial break and so much more to. This is Daniel Cereal. He is a Dean Capital Advisor, President and Founder. Good morning to you.

Good morning. Help us understand what you think is going to happen here next before we even get into all the other details. Well, I think to put in context this is the biggest thing that is happening in U.S. foreign policy to Latin America in 65 years since the Bay of Pigs. You know, the Trump administration has clearly said the hemisphere matters, and it is of grave national importance to the United States and we will act accordingly. We saw that over the weekend.

What do you think ends up happening in Venezuela as a result of? I don't know if you saw, by the way, the State Department put out, I think it was an Instagram or on Twitter. It says this is our hemisphere. Did you see that? Yeah. And I wonder what that means in a more broader sort of perspective in terms of what do you think all these other countries are thinking?

Yeah, well, I mean it, we've never spoken about the Monroe Doctrine as much as we have in a long time. The Don wrote, the Don wrote doctrine right. Some still getting used to that. It's going to impact macroeconomic stability in the region. It's going to impact elections. I'm originally from Colombia. There's an election this spring. The election in Colombia has already been decided. The leftist-leaning candidate is going to limit. Did we have claimed that were the it's our hemisphere was, they facto the United States. It is because of its influence power, economic power, military power. It is the hemisphere where the U.S. is dominant in China would admit that they are over there. You don't even have to say it for it to be true.

You don't have to say it. Brazil's largest trading partner is China, the largest port in South America. You have to say, you have to show it. So this is not a bad thing. You have to show that it's interventionist at kind of looks like and it's like a return to a different era. All to return to a different thing. I think it is a good thing. I think, but I think to stop this kind of mass migration to stop the flow of people and funds that are confusing. It's important to talk about how much do you think of? This is about immigration. About oil? How much do you think this is actually about drugs?

But Daniel says from Colombia, I didn't realize how many Venezuelans in Colombia. So not as well as a country of 28 million people. How many million people should be 35, 36, 8 million people left Venezuela? It's the largest migration since the Second World War and they've gone, they're five million of them in Colombia. They've gone all over Latin America. These aren't, you know, they get painted with a bad brush, these are not bad people. These are people looking at you care. They need health care and education. They arrived with no Colombia throughout the hemisphere largely in Colombia. Now, you can imagine what that does to an economy when five million people show up saying, I need shelter. I need health, I need education.

So, what the prevailing view is in Latin America about what's happening here? You think they're happy about this? They're unhappy about this. I can just reading issue, right? I can frame it to you this way. Every Venezuelan, with the exception of a few thousand people that you used to run, that regime are ecstatic. So whenever there's a debate of should we have done this, should we have done that, the Venezuelans are ecstatic because they're going to get what comes next, right.

Well, I think there's going to be some, you know, some power sharing. What do I mean by that? There is obviously Delcy Rodriguez, the Vice President who's now been promoted to the top spot. She's part of the old Maduro regime. It's undoubtedly as ours, the leaders in I think the Trump administration is going to potholes and traffic tickets and the Trump administration runs security and oil and when you say that, they're when you say we're going to run all those things that mean boots on the ground.

I think it's can we run this technocrats? I think boots technocrats can't be there without boots, okay? Right. And I think it's work from home. So you believe we're going to have boots on the ground in Venezuela, I think the U.S. embassy is going to reopen. It's going to be a massive effort, there's going to be. There’s the you say in thousands of troops are opening an embassy, I think it's impossible to have reopened a massive embassy without having thousands of troops protecting centers where this now gets interesting, if you're right.

Then there's the oil piece so the President has been out public the White House said it today in the Wall Street Journal with they believe that U.S. oil companies are ready to go in there and invest big and yet on the other end, it's not clear that the U.S. oil companies are willing or want to do that right now given the price of oil and everything else. So where do you see that piece of this? I mean you are soil. Service companies were up 78% yesterday, the Venezuelan defaulted bonds were up 30% yesterday. I don't care about the bonds even to hold the bonds, don't move, 30%, in a trading session, but it may not be the big majors that may be other investors. That's Slumberger Halliburton. Those were on the move yesterday. Is this oil patch big enough for to move, Exxon it moved it. A little bit of former Chevron executive who was with us yesterday he was racing. His own fund, who is thinking, he's going to have a lot of money coming in and that it may not be the majors who do it first and maybe others that kind of bring that money in at the before Chavez arrived, Maduro's mentor.

98.99 Venezuela, the first three 900,000 miles a day and they produce 900,000 miles a day doing everything wrong. Corruption, brain drain, lack of technological innovation. U.S. companies the infrastructure, collapse the infrastructure. There's some of it that needs a good coat of paint, there's some of it that needs a lot of money. So there's a bit of everything. The thing about Venezuela, you can still pull the stuff out of the ground for 13 bucks. A like that's unbelievable. They have 300 billion barrels of proven oil reserves and their oil reserves are the heavy, crude the sour crude that. There are a lot of refineries in the United States, along the goal that the refined that not the stuff that's coming out of it. Exactly five viscosity, it can be refined here. So there you are U.S. companies asphalt diesel, there are U.S. oil companies in U.S. oil service companies they're going to make money on exploration production and refining.

We need to squawk phone. We should at 13,000 about you sat down and talked about Bitcoin is not. Is not popular in down in Venezuela because of an investments. It's a usage cases. It's absolutely essential if you want to buy something to one of the fascinating things that has happened in Venezuela, not out of intellectual curiosity or out of portfolio diversification, but out of necessity is how so many people within that country have used crypto for survival. They use certain certain cryptos to buy a sandwich. They use Bitcoin to save. Because imagine if you have a currency that literally dissolves out of your hands after your work for a week, it's gone a huge inflation. You have massive currency, devaluation. You have to get it into something else and there are no dollars, it's very easy to say, well, why don't you just dollars there.

Right. So crypto has been the answer. So, another, a slight pivot away from just the oil interests and geopolitical interest is. What can we learn? As crypto adoption? With what has happened. As Venezuela is a base case and it's fascinating because different question. If you believe the U.S. is coming in and Venezuela. You would argue that Bitcoin, the use case of Bitcoin should actually be less, not more. I think once people have gone through the 25 years, these folks have gone through, it's going to take a long time to convince some things are fine. But why is that view? That view is a completely at odds, with the other view, you just provided around oil, and everything else that has to happen. You just said the whole country is that there's a big investment case to be made in the country. Everything, you know, we can go in and do all these things and Bitcoin is the opposite view. But going is the view that for 25 years. People are so, you know, psychologically scarred by this that they can't do anything and they'll never trust real money. No. Just take time, right? You can't be, you know. So myopic to think that this is going to get fixed in a week. Two weeks, three weeks. It's going to take some time.

In the meantime, people are by maintaining their there's a short term bet on that would be a short-term benefit. I'm saying, is the assuming, if you believe the U.S. is so great, at taking things over and doing all these things, you would think that Bitcoin the value. I am not making the case one way that I'm just you seem to quite a bit but here we are making is quite understand. I don't going to be a ton of money flowing in. I think there's going to be the equivalent of a Marshall Plan for Venezuela. It's going to be not by U.S., but by through Venezuelan oil, U.S. companies...

‘Win the Peace’ - the rump Maduro regime must go. New, stable, democratic government must be installed. The ex-pats must go home and reclaim the country.

The International Criminal Court is ecstatic also. A precedent is now set to do small raids to snatch former and current leaders to stand trial in the Hague.

While most Venezuelans are celebrating the end of Maduro regime, the only people "outraged" are White liberal Democrats.

It seems White liberal Democrats believe they know what's best for oppressed brown people.

So, who is actually in control of peace and order in Venezuela?

Does the recently sworn leader Dalcy Rodriguez have the loyalty of the military and the police? Or are the cartels practically in charge?

Because the people of the barrios were bribed by Chavez and Maduro, the odds are at least 50/50 and maybe higher that they won those elections.

Those people in the barrios are not stupid. They know they were being bribed. But they voted for them anyway.

It is largely only the US and our minions that claim election fraud. The BRICS nations, which represent a majority of the Earth’s population, accepted the elections as legitimate. The government was seated at the UN and the world as a whole did not object.

"The International Criminal Court is ecstatic also. A precedent is now set to do small raids to snatch former and current leaders to stand trial in the Hague."

The ICC doesn't have the kind of military force that could possibly snatch either of their sworn enemies: Bibi or Trump. Their ideas about 'use of force' involve serious-sounding words on paper.
